“Derek is a great caregiver. We had him watch our 5 month old Maltipoo for a day while the family spent the day at Disneyland. He sent us videos and pictures throughout the day of the walks and playful moments. You can tell that Derek really loves dogs and treats them as if it were his own. We reached out to multiple potential caregivers on Rover prior to deciding on Derek. One of the things I really liked about Derek prior to meeting him was that he was the only one that proactively suggested having a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit for both parties. That really gave me a good impression from the start and it turned out to be the right decision!”
“Dolores is incredible — kind, genuine, and trust worthy. I dropped off my Aussie for a day so we could enjoy Knott's, and I am so glad I did. She sent me several updates with pictures of my pup having fun and enjoying her large yard. Her dog is a gentle giant and was so accommodating and kind to my dog. Her daughter was gentle and so sweet with my pup as well. Their home is clean and clearly very dog friendly, even with an extra guest room for their Rover guests to enjoy and dine in solo. She clearly understands dog behavior and cares for all animals dearly. I would absolutely book again and recommend for all dogs!”
About: As a family, we have been taking care of dogs and cats since our kids were young. Our own beagle, my child's cat, family and friends' dogs and cats have all become an important part of our lives. Our beloved beagle passed away last December. We really miss the constant presence of a fur baby in our now empty house. We welcome your fur babies into our house and will take great care of them like our own! We work from home and have time during the day to care for the needs of your pets. We will feed, play and walk your pets as instructed by the owners. We have a large backyard with high block walls around all sides to provide a completely isolated and safe play area. Large glass area for dogs to roam around and sunbathe. Doggie door is available for small to medium dogs to freely go into the house or out to the backyard if preferred.
“It was our first time leaving our Frenchie and Sue made it easy to do so! She sent me updates throughout the day to let us know how he was doing and what he was up to! Would def recommend Sue! 😊”
“Caroline was wonderful taking care of my two dogs. She played with them, took them on a walk and fed them. One of my dogs has arthritis and is on pain medication. Also their diet is complicated with five different types of food plus supplements. Caroline was great at preparing their meal and giving one dog her medicine. She kept me informed on how they were doing and they really enjoyed their time with her. Caroline is a fantastic dog sitter and I could relax knowing they were in such good hands.”
“Danielle was very attentive and welcoming to Melodie. She gave updates as needed throughout the day Melodie was very energetic when we picked her up. She seemed to really enjoy her stay! We will book with Danielle again ?”
“My family and I were traveling to Disneyland from Washington state with our English Mastiff pup (7.5 months/ 95lbs.) Katie was very friendly, communicative, responsive, provided amazing photo/video updates, accommodated our tentative schedule with no questions asked. She greeted me and my pup with smiles, treats and lots of patience (my pup is a big goofy wrecking ball, much like myself). Her yard was very clean, well kept, and “dog proof”. Her young bull doggies were well behaved and friendly. Katie greeted us at the end of the day with my pup on her leash, walking very calm and in control (hard to do with a wrecking ball 😉). Katie is a pro among amateurs! I highly, highly recommend you book a stay with her!!!”
“Yen was great! She was very communicative before and during our stay. She sent a photo of her house since it was a bit hard to find and that was helpful. My dog has some separation anxiety so I was glad to get updates and photos. She was flexible with drop off and pick up time.”
“I had been searching for a daycare service I could truly trust with my baby for a long time. My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety, but even after Steven and Kim-Anh learned about it, they were very understanding and happy to take care of Mahur. She is usually very cautious around new people, but she seemed to feel safe and comfortable in their home. Both Steven and Kim are very passionate about training, and they spent a lot of time playing with and caring for Mahur. I finally feel relieved knowing that I’ve found a daycare I can trust completely. I would absolutely love to continue bringing her here in the future.”
“Zoë had such a great time with Sabrina. The communication and pictures during the day helped me to know that my puppy was well-cared for. I would definitely use Sabrina for doggie daycare again!”
“Maria was wonderful to my baby Milkshake. There was plenty of communication with how she was adjusting and how her day was going. With the amount of separation anxiety my dog has, I was surprised and relieved to see her so relaxed with Maria through the pictures that were sent to me. Maria's husband was also there to provide care for Milkshake when Maria had to step away for a bit. I would love to have her as Milkshake's sitter again.”
“Another amazing day for Finn at doggy day care! He never wants to leave and it makes us so happy to see him happy and knowing that someone like Maritza is watching and playing with him!”
“Candy was the sweetest! She responded promptly and took care of our fur baby Thor on a short notice. She sent a lot of pictures and gave updates throughout the day. She also has a miniature Australian Shepherd Sadie who is an absolute angel. Highly recommend!!”
“Ximena did a wonderful job doggy sitting my puppy I was a little nervous since Im a first time puppy owner but she did an excellent job of keeping him happy and entertained thank you I appreciate the work you do.”
About: Lifelong owner and dog lover with 23 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. From playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care, I provide a safe, loving environment and treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to give both pets and their owners peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾 Dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I work from home four days a week, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. On the one day I do go into the office, my workplace is dog-friendly if they need or want to tag along! Additionally, my mom works from home five days a week, so there is almost always someone home to supervise and care for the dogs. This helps ensure your pup receives plenty of attention and is rarely left alone. I understand the importance of maintaining a dog’s normal routine and am happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and any special requests to help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether your dog is active and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can accommodate their individual needs and make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised playtime, potty breaks, and outdoor relaxation, as well as a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s perfect for daily walks. My home features a large doggy door, allowing dogs the freedom to move between indoors and outdoors without feeling confined. While they have easy access to the yard, I prefer to monitor outdoor time whenever possible to ensure safe interactions, and discourage any mischievous ideas that curious pups may come up with. I take pride in learning each dog’s personality, routines, and preferences so they can feel as comfortable as possible during their stay. Whether your dog enjoys playing outside, exploring on walks, or just relaxing indoors, I strive to create a calm, loving environment where they can feel right at home. My goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for every pet while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands.
“Maritzabeth took great care of my children and was available last minute. She responded to my messages quickly and provided me with updates. My children walked out her door with a smile 😊”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with our pup! She took incredible care of him and was so kind and communicative throughout the entire stay. We loved receiving the photo updates she sent, which gave us total peace of mind knowing he was happy and safe. It was completely clear that our pup had a fantastic time with her. We absolutely recommend Jennifer’s services to anyone looking for a top-notch pet sitter, and we will definitely be booking with her again!
Jennifer is the most patient, loving and nurturing person I have ever met. She has become a huge part of my puppies upbringing and crucial to our lives as well. She is so understanding towards animals and people. I honestly don’t know what I would do without her! She’s always available and updates me constantly with pictures and videos of my pup. I never had a doubt or a worry for my pup when dropping him with Jennifer. If you’re looking for your pets to feel safe, loved and cared for Jennifer is the best of the best!
I highly recommend Gileen! She’s a very warm person and took great care of my dog throughout the day. She made sure he got walks, gave him lots of company and attention, and truly made me feel at ease. I needed someone to watch my dog for the day last minute, and I really appreciated that she was able to help! She gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was with someone caring, attentive, and trustworthy. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and kind to care for their dog! :)
Vanessa was awesome for supporting us on short notice. Cared for Leia as one of her own and Leia really enjoyed her stay. Provided frequent updates and followed Leia’s daily routine to ensure she was comfortable during her stay, especially since it was Leia’s first time. We highly recommend Vanessa and we would definitely book for her services in the near future.
Infinity watched my two girls, Tundra and Delta (German shepherd and Doberman mix) while we were gone for the day at an amusement park and I couldn’t have chosen a better person to do so! She was so communicative, took photos of them during their walks and naps lol, and made sure they were comfortable. I’ll definitely be booking again when we need a sitter! Thank you so much!!
Caroline was so great with Beedee! This was our first experience on Rover and we’re honestly so happy with it all thanks to Caroline. We were anxious about Beedee’s separation anxiety and unwillingness to walk but Caroline took a more cooperative approach allowing beedee to go at her own pace to acclimate to her new environment. I was also nervous about how Beedee can get strong zoomies or dart towards cats but that didn't seem to be a problem at all. Caroline also gave us photo/video updates frequently so it put us at ease knowing Beedee is in good hands. Overall I had such a great experience with Caroline and will be coming back. Thank you so much!!😊
Jessica is so sweet and caring. we left our 5 month old dachshund puppy with her for the day and she went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. our little guy has that crazy puppy energy so i know he’s the not the easiest to look after but Jessica and her adorable family was so great with him. she sent picture and video updates like every other hour which i really appreciated. your babies will be in great hands with her! she is awesome and so responsive. thank you so much Jessica! Butters had a wonderful day with you. :)
Duchess settled quickly to Sarah/Michelle and her home. I got prompt updates and photos so I could relax knowing Duchess was in great hands! She has separation anxiety and Sarah/Michelle did a great job calming her down in the new environment! Would definitely recommend and would gladly use again if in the area! Thank you so much!! 🐕

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - La Palma
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in La Palma on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 8,579 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across La Palma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your La Palma commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 8,579 sitters in La Palma, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
