“Jane is truly an amazing, reliable, and attentive cat sitter! 😊She took such wonderful care of Mochi and Taro during her visits. She provided detailed daily notes and sent so many cute photos and videos that gave me total peace of mind while away. She was very gentle and understanding with Mochi's shy nature and built great rapport with Taro. I'm so grateful for her help and will definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommended!👍🏻”

About: I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. I previously cared for three dogs of my own and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and multi pet households. I’m comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets and always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I can accommodate special feeding schedules, daily routines, and individual care needs to help maintain consistency while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their pet’s stay, so they always have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home. I’m trusted with others animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care from morning to night. Your pet won’t just be checked on, they’ll receive plenty of companionship, playtime, affection, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate special feeding schedules, medication routines, potty breaks, and individual care needs to help keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether your pet is staying for a day or an extended visit, my goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions before their stay so they feel as comfortable as possible. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where pets are closely supervised and treated like family. I have access to a secure, fenced outdoor area within my apartment community for safe potty breaks and fresh air. I’m experienced caring for shy or anxious pets, as well as homes with multiple pets, and I always adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and in caring hands.

“As a first-time Rover user, I can honestly say that Stefanie put all my concerns at ease. She was very good at communicating and making sure she had all the information necessary. My shy furbaby took an immediate liking to her during our meet-and-greet. During her 30-minute visits, I received thorough updates, as well as pictures to reassure me everything was ok. When I returned from my trip, kitty was as chipper as ever. Without a doubt, I would trust Stefanie to look after my cat the next time I am out of town. I absolutely recommend Stefanie to anyone in need of a petsitter.”

About: I have my own dog at home, he’s turning into a little senior but because of my constant day to day care with him, other people around me have asked me to help! I’ve helped sit anywhere from a pug to a puppy Great Dane! I’m very playful with dogs and like to give affection, as well as be someone in their life that makes them feel safe when their owners are away! Im currently working as a weekend nanny and go to school for respiratory therapy! My schedule does change slightly every 10 weeks due to me being in an advanced program, but I have time throughout my day to play around, get out some energy, or even study while having a cuddle session. I prefer being in the environment of another pets home so they feel safer! Caring for pets in a clients home means understanding where they go in terms of sleeping, playing, as well as their limitations inside and outside of the house. Not only keeping the pet safe, but keeping someone’s home watched over is important to me.

About: Hello! I'm an active and energetic person with a deep love and appreciation for our canine companions. Dogs and humans have a deep connection that is rare in other animals and I immensely enjoy being around dogs and being sensitive to their needs and wants. I'm fairly athletic and fit and won't have any issues keeping up with active dogs. On the flip side, I can also be mellow and calm for older and more reserved pups. I like giving each dog space to get to know and be comfortable around me. How your friend feels about me is just as important as anything else. My goal is for all parties, especially your dog, to be happy with the arrangement! Thanks for checking out my profile! I’m currently working remotely part time so I’m available for recurring care depending on location and what’s needed for your pet. Just ask if you have questions! Happy to answer! I am always attentive to an animal’s state of being. I intuitively assess if they need attention or movement or space or food. I watch how they act and make sure to move with their safety and comfort level.

About: Relocated animal caregiver from Hawai’i looking for new families to support! Long time foster parent and special needs caregiver at Aloha Animal Sanctuary in Kaneohe, O’ahu. Where I was a caregiver weekly for over 6 years. Trained caregivers, lead tours and fostered Stevie the goat from his bottle and diaper days, Ducklee and Eve their ducks, Sushi a Polynesian Piglet and several quails. Also, was the overnight caregiver many times for the internet famous “Bala” abandoned baby goat on the hill before he got adopted. Have had long term relationships with common domestic pet owners to non traditional pet owners, such as pigs. Have had experience with after surgery care, senior pets, blind/deaf and administering medication. Happy to now bring that knowledge and care to OC. Currently working on some projects remote so my schedule is quite flexible at the moment. If my schedule changes I would schedule around commitments made and always update families for future scheduling. I am always open to abiding by the natural routine of the pets, mirroring as closely as instructed. I make sure to keep the environment clean, that rubbish and recycling are taken out and that the pets remain as comfortable and safe as possible.

About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.

“Met Darla for the first time over Rover.com, but right off the bat, she seemed very responsible and dog loving that I had no doubt she’d take good care of our boys. She helped us on Drop In service twice a day to feed the dogs, give injections to one of them who is diabetic, and minor spot cleanings. She was very punctual and provided updates with photos in a timely manner throughout the entire 4 days we were gone. Overall she did an excellent job and would certainly recommend to other neighbors around for any petsitting needs. Thanks again, Darla!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets as long as I can remember. I’ve used to have fish, hamsters, dogs, and cats all running around my house. My parents used to breed Golden Retrievers, so I have experience training and caring for young pups. My house has always been a haven for animals. I’ve nursed all kinds of animals back to health and been a safe place for stray animals to stay until I’ve found their rightful owners. I have experience feeding, cleaning, putting diapers on, and administering medication to pets. I know it’s hard trusting others with your pets! I hope to ease your worries and make new pet friends. I have open availability as I am currently in between jobs. I’m not looking to board, as I have pets of my own at home. I am patient and kind with all animals. I’m familiar with having pets with unique needs. I’m most comfortable with cats and big dogs. Let me know your pets quirks and I’ll be happy to accommodate to their needs.

We’re so glad we found Andrea! She took wonderful care of our three cats during our trip and made the experience much less stressful for us. Our cats are sensitive to changes in their routine, and one of them has special needs and lives separately from the others. Andrea handled their different needs with patience and attention, kept us updated with photos, and was always responsive and accommodating when we had additional requests. We especially appreciated that she took the time to interact with our cats rather than simply completing the basic tasks. One of our favorite moments was seeing photos of Leo affectionately rubbing his face against her hand. It was reassuring to see him so relaxed and comfortable with her. What touched us most was something Andrea did entirely on her own. When she learned about Tom, a stray cat we feed outside our home, she offered to leave him some food and made sure he had fresh water. We never expected her to take on that extra responsibility, and her thoughtfulness meant a great deal to us. Andrea is dependable, considerate, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We’re grateful for the excellent care she provided and would happily book her again. We highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! ❤️🐾

Asmita was amazing! She was great with the cats and took exceptional care of them. She took detailed notes at the meet and greet and we felt confident leaving them with her. She handled their food, water, litter box, treats, playtime and even walking our cats in their stroller. She treated them like family and was attuned to their needs. She also thought to bring a barrier to keep them from escaping out the front door (as they try to do). We had complete trust in her and we especially appreciated her detailed notes, pictures and videos. We highly recommend booking her and will definitely do so again for our next trip.

Jennifer was kind, caring, and compassionate. She treated sunny with care and love. In addition, she gave us daily updates on how sunny was doing. I would highly recommend her to any pet owner. Sunny is usually afraid of strangers, but she immediately warmed up to Jennifer . Jennifer was asked to administer a complicated set of instructions for care of sunny, including handling medication and specific food. She did this very well and we are well pleased with her.

Here’s a warm, genuine review you can use: --- I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. From the very first message, it was clear how thoughtful and reliable she is. She sent updates and photos every day, which helped me relax and enjoy my time away. My cats took to her right away, and that never happens with new people. When I came home, everything was tidy, and my cats were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It felt like he’d been cared for by a friend, not just a sitter. I’ll absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone who wants their pet treated with real attention and kindness.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - La Palma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in La Palma is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,785 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across La Palma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Palma. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
