“Morgane took really good care of my cat and my apartment. My kitty (who's not always the most friendly) took to her instantly, cuddling & even sharing a bed with her :) You can tell Morgane is a caring, attentive, and experienced petsitter. 10/10 recommend Morgane!”
“Natalie was a lifesaver to help watch our two large, active dogs on the Fourth of July while we were at a wedding. Our older pup, Bongo, is terrified of fireworks and we recently rescued our new puppy, Gin, so we weren’t sure how she would react. Natalie was so calm and kind and I think the dogs really felt her good energy and everything worked out perfectly. 10/10 recommend Natalie for anyone that is looking for someone to love on and care for their dogs as if they were their own.”
About: I've been pet sitting for over a decade and have the upmost love and compassion for our furry companions. I'm a nurturer by nature and will always make sure your pets are comfortable and loved while you're away ❤️ I'm a paralegal and work from home/remote full time during the week! I will adjust weekend plans as needed to ensure your fur baby is never alone for extended periods of time 🤗 I offer a complimentary meet and greet and will go over any safety critical information to ensure you can relax knowing your fur baby is safe while you're away!
“Carmen is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had!! She stayed with our 2 very shy chihuahuas for a week. She followed perfect instructions, sent us loads of pics and videos and had them snuggling with her in no time! We would 100% use her again and are so happy to have found her! Thank you Carmen!!!!”
About: Ive been around dogs since I was born. My extended family has had dogs from huge great pyranees to chihuahuas! I have a lot of experience with senior dogs especially, and know how to be patient and careful with them! I am in college, but other wise I have no other part time job, so your pet will be my priority! They can be apart of my mornings, lunch times, and especially night times! In my own home, my priority is always making sure my cats have enough water to drink at all times, and that they are fed on schedule. And I will always apply the same to your pets. Next, its important for me to know that they feel safe and cared for always. Last, I never want a pet to feel bored, and will always play with them when they want.
About: I’ve had 2 large dogs, 3 cats, and 2 bunnies my whole life! I’m ready and excited for whatever gets thrown at me! I love playing and caring for your pets probably more than they do haha Because I finished my major at Pepperdine i’m looking for things to fill my time while paying my bills, walking, playing, and caring for your animals brings joy to me I have a pretty flexible schedule with school so we can work together to figure out a plan that will work for both of us!
“Kourosh is ery responsive and easy to work with. It was great having someone who is willing to stay overnight with my disabled, senior dog at a reasonable rate. It gets very expensive given I cannot board her so I really appreciate the peace of mind of having somebody in my home I can trust and who has patience with older dogs.”
“We are so grateful for Austin’s taking care of our Doberman Fred. From the very beginning Austin was super responsive, came over to meet our dog to make sure they are a right match. Afterwards Austin returned to observe Fred’s habits couple more times and to walk him with me. During our 1 week trip he remained in contact with us with frequent updates, helping us with our separation anxiety. The dog and the house were in one piece upon our return (even with some treats left for Fred and us, along with a sweet note ). We would recommend Austin to any dog owner wanting to have a peace of mind during their absence and looking forward to having him over dog sitting again in the future.”
“Bruna was absolutely amazing with my cat Carl and French Bulldog Daisy. I needed a sitter with less than 24 hours’ notice over the Fourth of July holiday, and she stepped in without hesitation. At the time, Daisy had just undergone surgery and required constant supervision along with medication administration. B handled everything flawlessly and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, photos, and messages, which meant so much given Daisy’s condition. Most importantly, it was obvious that both Carl and Daisy adored her. You can tell when someone genuinely loves animals, and they were comfortable, happy, and well cared for in her hands. I would not hesitate to book Bruna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Bandit was so well taken care of during our mini getaway- such a huge relief to know he was in great hands with Leva! She is so sweet and great with communication - we will definitely be using her services again!”
“We hired Lynae for an overnight at our house so my husband and I could get away for a weekend, and I cannot say enough good things about her!! She was super professional yet personable and our pup just loved her! Lynae confirmed her visit a couple of days prior, and then also messaged us to let us know she was enroute, and arrived precisely on time. During her visit, she regularly updated us by text to let us know that pup was doing well and that they were having a great time. 5 stars all-around and will DEFINITELY hire again!!! Thanks Lynae!!”
“If I could leave 10 stars I would. She house sat and cared for my 7 month old puppy and 14 year old senior dog so well. She went above and beyond especially because so many different things happened during the stay that were out of the ordinary (a prowler trespassing, a tree branch falling and damaging our fence, our puppy going into her first heat) and she handled it all with ease and grace. Will hire her again and highly recommend!”
About: Seasoned sitter with a track record of reliable care dating back to my teenage years, specializing in diverse breeds and specialized needs. I provide high quality care tailored to your pet’s unique personality and physical needs. My experience ranges from managing the high energy dynamic of a pack of Pomeranians to providing attentive support for an injured cat. Leave it to me, you can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is with a calming, caring presence providing updates as often as you wish. I am self employed and I always keep mornings free. I can be available on short notice if needed. My schedule is generally flexible during the week. Safety and trust are my top priorities when entering a client's home. During every visit I make sure all entries are securely locked and that the space is free of hazards before leaving. When walking, I am hyper vigilant about my surroundings. I steer clear of unknown animals and potential threats to the safety of pets.
About: I’ve cared for both dogs as well as cats and I am very patient, attentive and always care for animals with the best of my ability. I am currently in search of a job so I have open availability for any pet sitting whenever needed. I can fit your pets needs any day of the week. I have experience with feedings, litter box cleaning, dog walking and I know how to make animals feel safe as well as adapt to the environment wherever I might be.
“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.”
“Celeste took great, loving care of my dog Bella and my cat Kitty. They both absolutely loved her, as I could tell from the many wonderful pictures she sent. She was very conscientious about walking and feeding Bella and spending a lot of time with both Bella and Kitty day and night.”
“Andrew was an outstanding house and pet sitter . She sent me updated pics and let me know what the dog and birds were doing. She was very professional and left my house in great shape. Andrea is also very flexible. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Erica was very conscientious with our needy German Shepherd and our temperamental kitty. They both seemed happy, healthy and well groomed when we got home. She took pictures throughout our time away to update us on their status and she followed our specifications and feeding and other directions to a tee. She is pleasant, cooperative, and professional. I highly recommend her. Both of our animals seem to love her, based on the pictures the description of their behavior, and also their initial meeting with her. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was orderly when we returned. We are very pleased and happy with her services. She is super!”

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Malibu Beach
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Malibu Beach on Rover is $36.63 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 12,070 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Malibu Beach. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Malibu Beach. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
