“Jeremy is truly the best, he has watched our boys multiple times now and they can be a handful! Our pups are always in good spirits after hanging with him for a few days and our home is always very clean when we get back! He’s the best sitter we’ve had in the LA area 😊”
About: I love all animals and have had dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, birds, honey bees, a turtle and fish.... oh my! I am currently a life-coach specializing in health and wellness and because I do this remotely, I have the great opportunity to also be able to help others out by taking care of their home and animals while they are away. I raised a daughter as a single mother and when we went out of town I paid sitters to stay at our home in Aspen and Los Angeles and care for it and my animals while we were out of town, so I thoroughly understand what is expected of a home and animal sitter/walker. I love all animals of all sizes and I would love to help you out caring for your animals and/or home. You can visit my website to learn more about me and my business. My website is KimberlyLynnWilliamsdotcom Because health and wellness is my life, I do not smoke, drink, or do any kind of drugs, or even medication’s for that matter. Because I’m so healthy, I am chemically sensitive. I am only available to sit in homes that use fragrance-free detergent and fabric softener, natural cleaning, products, and do not use any kind of plug-ins, or air fresheners. I don’t have a problem with 100% pure essential oils at all. I do have a little 5 pound toy sized Maltese- Pomeranian dog named Rosie that travels with me. I used to have Rosie and two Newfoundland’s but when I lost my newfies, Rosie needed to be with me 24 seven. She’s 12 years old. She doesn’t care anything about cats and leaves them alone. If you’re interested in connecting, I would be happy to come and meet and see if it feels like a fit. I have my own business and I work from home, which frees me up to health care for your pets in your home. It’s an ideal situation. I only sit in your home as I currently do not offer sitting in my own home. I find that this is more comfortable for the animals to be in their own home anyway.
“I felt so comfortable leaving my elderly doggie and puppy in the hands of Anita. She is sweet as pie and took such good care of them. She was so understanding of all the little things we do with the pups and adhered to their strictish schedules and regimens. Would absolutely have her watch the boys again.”
“Maria was absolutely amazing with my dog, Dolly! I felt so happy and at ease knowing Dolly was in such loving and caring hands. Maria kept me updated with the sweetest photos and videos, followed all of my instructions, and made sure Dolly had plenty of walks, playtime, attention, and cuddles. It was so clear that Dolly was having the best time! You can truly see how much Maria loves dogs and how much care she puts into everything she does. Dolly absolutely adored her, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I would happily leave Dolly with Maria again and highly, highly recommend her!”
“Fallon was absolutely amazing. One week before our one and a half week long trip our dog Hank had to have major emergency surgery. I was so torn about leaving, but my son was getting married and I could not miss it. I called Fallon and asked her how she felt about watching him after surgery and she said it was no problem. Not only did Fallon take great care of him, but she also took him to the vet to have his sutures removed. She was amazing all around and I hope she stays local for a long time so that we can always call on her. Hank made a new best friend and I know he misses her. not only did I trust her with my boy Hank, but I also was relieved that she stayed in our home. Thank you Fallon, I don’t know how I can repay you for watching him so that we could all go to the wedding.”
“I had such a great experience with this sitter! She was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with from the start, which immediately put me at ease. While I was away, she sent me regular updates and photos, which really reassured me that my dog was happy and in good hands. She stayed at my home and took excellent care of everything ,well-kept space. Most importantly, my dog was clearly well cared for, relaxed, and happy. I truly appreciated her attentiveness, reliability, and the genuine care she showed. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”
“Madelyn is now our 4-mo-old puppy's favorite person! She gave up her Thanksgiving to stay with Ziggy at our house, but it wasn't just a "stay." Madelyn played with her and give her so much love and attention. It was just what Ziggy needed and we were so happy to trust her with our puppy! We're also very happy that Madelyn will be coming back to stay with Ziggy again in a couple of weeks. Thank you, Madelyn!”
About: As an enthusiastic dog lover , i bring more than just my affection for animals to every pet sitting job.

I specialize in creating a warm, engaging environment where your furry friend will feel right at home. I'm currently studying part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pet(s). I'm available for weekends and weekdays as well most of the time. i have a big fenced yard and a playful dog at home who will keep your pet busy and engaged and happy all the time .
“Taylor did an outstanding job taking care of my dogs. The dogs were totally comfortable and my cat even liked her! My cat doesn't like anyone! I will definitely be hiring her again.”
About: Working at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility for two years taught me a lot about all different kinds of dogs, their body language, and how to communicate with them. All my dogsitting and catsitting clients have told me they felt like their pets were more comfortable with me than many other sitters, due to my calm, positive, patient nature. I have converted a former stray cat into a puddle of fluff in my lap, successfully walked a pair of shelties who were nervous about passersby, and stepped in to care for a pair of small anxious dogs who had just experienced the trauma of losing their guardian (albeit temporarily, thankfully). Neighbors and the dog guardian's relative marveled at how well the dogs trusted me, and how quickly. In addition, I have had cats all my life, and I understand their needs and behaviors thoroughly. My schedule is currently very flexible, as I have no other time-bound commitments. Thus, I have plenty of time to provide play, enrichment and companionship for your dogs and kitties. I am open to whatever preferences you have for how your dogs and cats are cared for in your home. I love spending time with animals and have no problem giving them quality time throughout the day and night.
“Really appreciate Daniel taking the time to meet us and Martini the morning of our event as a last minute request. This eased my anxiety as well as Martini’s and she really liked him off the bat. For my first time using Rover, I was very pleased to have met Daniel. Will definitely be using him again next time we’re in the area!”
“I knew my doggies were in good hands with Esther. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. She did a great job house sitting and followed all my instructions. My dogs seemed well cared for and happy when I got home. I especially appreciate the pictures Esther sent every day.”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since my childhood while living at grandma’s village house. A brunch of “pets” from cats, dogs and chickens - to geese, goats, cows, rabbits, turkeys. I’m available for boarding daily mostly 12-5pm. But every case depends, contact ahead to verify . Not doing early morning or late evening visits or walks. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, exercise, and house rules, so pets stay comfortable in their familiar space. Change for fresh water if needed
About: I’ve been lucky to grow up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From fostering and potty training my beagle to helping rescue cats feel safe and loved, I understand how to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your furry family members like they’re my own! I work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I’m available to give your pets plenty of attention during those days. I’m also free all weekend, making it easy to accommodate your schedule. Plus, your pets will have the chance to hang out with my friendly and playful beagle, who loves making new friends! I have hands-on experience with crate training, administering medications, and caring for both senior pets and young puppies. Whether they need gentle attention or playful energy, I’ll make sure your furry friends are well cared for!
“After our meet and great, I felt comfortable leaving my baby George an 8 year old spoiled sweetie with Helen but throughout the week each time I heard from her I was more and more relieved to know what good hands he was in. I am happy to give Helen a five star rating (out of five.) Thank you so much Helen!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of many kinds and have experience dog-sitting for friends and family. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, and playtime. I’m responsible, attentive, and love spending time with animals I am a full time student athlete so I don’t have as much weekday availability but I am usually free on the weekends and would love to help walk or take care of your dog! I cannot offer services in my home, but I have years of housesitting and babysitting experience as a trusted worker. I am very active and am more than happy to help your dog get exercise!
“Agbam was extremely thoughtful and caring when taking care of our menagerie of 3 dogs & 1 cat. Great with updates and pics/vids. Our furbabies were well taken care of! Highly recommend Agbam!”
“Robert did an amazing job watching my 3 small dogs for a few days. I could tell during the initial meet-and-greet that he genuinely cares for animals and I could go on a trip with a clear conscience since putting them in a pet hotel was not going to happen. He is highly recommended and would definitely hire him again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Malibu Beach
Marissa was superb! She is such an animal person. Isis immediately fell in love with her immediately and they had a great time. Plenty of walks, lots of love and Marissa even took her back and forth to daycare three times over the course of a week. Marissa left the house spotless and was kind enough to strip the beds so the housekeeper could launder the sheets and towels. I will definitely hire her again.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Malibu Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Malibu Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Malibu Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
