About: I had a Husky that I cared for for 3 years before I moved away from home. I really miss having a furry buddy around, so I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets, keep them company, play with them, and give them lots of love and attention while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins. I’m available most weekdays and weekends depending on the booking. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their routine, keep a close eye on them, and give them plenty of attention and love
“Max & Zai are wonderful people! We feel so at ease leaving our most precious Psalm with them. We appreciate the updates, photos & videos. Thank you for always going above and beyond when taking care of our pup. Both of you are truly a blessing!”
“Ximena took great care of my dog, Noodles, while my family was on vacation. She has a great backyard, took Noodles to the park for walks, and sent pictures and video updates while we were away so I knew my dog was happy and well taken care of. Noodles felt very comfortable with Ximena and her family. She can be anxious but she settled in easily and had fun playing with Ximena's dog Fluffy. Ximena is easy to talk to and friendly. I will be booking with her again!”
“Ashley watched my puppy the first time we left him for an extended stay. She sent tons of pictures and he loved playing with her puppy. I feel comfortable leaving him with her anytime.”
“Maria was great with our dogs and continuously communicated with pictures throughout. This was our first time with Maria and we are grateful for the care she offered to our dogs.”
“The whole family truly loves and cares for animals. My dog usually has a hard time with other owners, but this time he seemed very comfortable and happy. It was also very encouraging to receive photos and updates while I was away. I strongly recommend entrusting your pet to them! 🐶✨️”
“Laura and her family went beyond the expectations to care for our dog, Mars. My dog had separation anxiety and Laura did everything she could to make sure Mars was comfortable and happy. She was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. I would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets.”
“Big thanks to Michael and Lara (and their awesome dog, Teddy!) for another great doggo vacation! I received wonderful photos and updates. They even took my girls on a great “pack walk” around the neighborhood. It’s so nice to know my dogs are safe, happy and loved! 🙏🏼💖🐾🥳”
“Martha is such a sweetheart! She genuinely cares and takes her responsibility seriously. She took care of our 2-month-old kitten, and it was our first time having a cat sitter. She was so patient, caring, and wonderful with cat. Her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated with pictures and messages. I truly appreciate how much she cared for our little kitten. I highly recommend her!”
“I can't say enough great things about Rebecca and Donald! They helped out in an emergency where I was already out of town and blessed our pup with so much love and care. Mutilple updates daily and made him feel right at home and helped put me at ease knowing he was in such good and loving hands. I would happily book them anytime in the future, absolute 10/10 people ❤️”
“We couldn’t have asked for better sitters for our Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Lina! She stayed with Jonathan and Shelly for 8 days while we were on holiday, and the entire experience was amazing. They were incredibly kind, easygoing, and clearly experienced with dogs. Their own pup was the perfect companion for Lina, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she had a buddy to play with while we were away. We got regular updates and adorable photos throughout our trip, which we really appreciated. Lina is a great and easy dog, but even so, I’m super selective about who I trust with her—and I would absolutely book with Jonathan and Shelly again in a heartbeat. In fact, my in-laws are already planning to book them next time! Thank you both so much for taking such good care of our girl. You’re truly wonderful people and exceptional sitters!”
“Amely was wonderful with FiFi during her two-night stay! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was friendly, professional, and welcoming. Throughout the weekend, she communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us peace of mind. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and the care she provided. We were so pleased with our experience that we’re planning to book with her again for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday week! We highly recommend Amely to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”
“I am so thankful for the quality care they provided for my senior dog. They were not only friendly to me but also to my dog who has high degree of separation anxiety with strangers. After the first stay for 10 days with them in April, my dog learned to be separated and be under someone else’s care with no major problems. The sitter’s dog also helped my Hayannie go through transition smoothly. I dropped her off and let her stay another 10 days in June with no worries for they already know my dog. I thank them for special care for my dog who can’t hear and see well. My dog seems well adjusted to Jahyung and Michael’s loving and extra ordinari care.”
“Definitely a 5-star experience. Corinne was super responsive and answered all my questions that made me feel comfortable to book. I can definitely say this meet was meant to be. This was my first time leaving my pup, Chanel, with someone new - let alone a new place for several days. (She is super friendly, but since always with me, will cry if she sees me leave her.) As soon as we walked up to their home, Chanel was super curious and happy to go inside, greeting them both with such excitement. They both made me feel at ease. Their beautiful home was perfect for her - with a big bed, toys, and a nice and spacious back yard. I loved the several updates and pictures that were sent to me; it brought so much smiles to see Chanel being such a good girl, and being cared for like they did. I also loved the little report card they gave me at the end. I highly recommend Corinne and Louis, and will definitely book with them again if the opportunity allows. Thank you both so much!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I know it can be hard to find a sitter that you can trust to take care of them. I have 3 dogs at home; a small Shi-tzu, a young husky/german sheppard, and a old retriever mix. I also have 2 young cats and I take care of a neighborhood stray. I have always had a soft spot for animals. My mom and I have fostered stray cats, dogs, and watched pets while family friends were on vacation. I may not have much formal training, but if hired I will carefully watch, play, walk, and hangout with your pets, as well as, keep you updated in the process. Every morning I take my 2 dogs out to go, then I fill up their water bowl and let them back in. I give them their breakfast around 10 and then take them on a walk around the park near our neighborhood. We play throughout the day and they keep each other company while I do chores and homework. I feed them around 4:30 or 5 each night and they get a glucosamine biscuit before we go to bed. Sometimes we go on a second walk before bed as well. I have a fenced yard and two friendly fur babies to keep them company! My cats are friendly but if your babies dont like cats, mine will stay in my room. We have some house gates we used to use when our doggies were puppy training, and a very roomy crate for the young husky, so blocking our animals from yours is always an option if necessary. I only ask that you supply their food for their stay if they are on any special food diet.
“Experience was great! My pug was not mad at me when I got there upon pick up! Sitter approved! By Louie🐕pictures and status of my pet 100%.. Will be taking Louie back we are very satisfied with the dedication Lianna provides to our pets. 😀”
“Allycia was great taking care of Luna for couple of days. Very nice and easy to talk to. She sent us pictures and information daily. Definitely will book with Allycia again. Thank you Allycia!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - La Palma
Erin is the absolute best! her home is the perfect place for a pet stay. Not only is Erin accommodating but she is thoughtful and engaging and that’s not just for your pet. Throughout Mookie stay with her she gave constant updates and was great with asking clarifying questions. We were very lucky to have found her on Rover and also the experience for my Mook! I Halle recommend using Erin for her pet sitting, dog walking services. 10 out of 10.
Jennifer and her family were amazing with my dog! They made him feel welcomed, comfortable, safe, and so loved. Jennifer was incredibly accommodating with my last-minute booking, and with her veterinary nursing background, I felt confident trusting her with his ear medications. She kept me updated with photos and videos and even shared the great news that his ears were improving! I was able to enjoy my time out of town with complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I can’t recommend Jennifer enough and would absolutely book with her again!
gileen was amazing with my little guy, leo! she frequently kept me updated on his stay and sent many pictures throughout as well. leo had a great time! i also appreciated how welcoming and accommodating her home is to pets. i highly recommend gileen and will be booking with her again!!
Jennifer was an amazing dog sitter for our dog Rosie. She was very quick with responding and sent us daily pictures to keep us updated. She has a closed yard for your dogs. She was very friendly and definitely a pet person! Would highly recommend her for your pet needs in the future and we would love to use her again to pet sit for us.
Sabrina was absolutely amazing! She treated my dog like her own, took him to the beach for his first time, and gave me many updates with pictures. She was so good with communication I had zero anxiety of him being with her. I trust her completely and I look forward to booking her again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in La Palma is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $78 per night. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in La Palma can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their La Palma home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your La Palma.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Palma. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your La Palma sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
