“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.
“Ashley was amazing with Gigi! She took great care of her and kept me updated the whole time. I could tell Gigi felt super comfortable and loved. Definitely booking with her again! 🐾💕”
“Dawit and his family were amazing! They helped Fava socialize with their pups which we appreciated as Fava tends to be afraid of other dogs. They were very sweet and kind and would definitely book them again in the future!”
“We booked with Caroline for a second time and it was another great experience for us. Caroline is great at sending updates, photos, asking questions about Rosita’s schedule, and communicating overall. I think Rosita really enjoys spending time with Caroline… she almost didn’t want to get back in the car to go home!”
“Katie is amazing! I sent her a last minute booking request the day of and she was the only sitter to respond to me and I reached out to several! Not only did she respond, she responded right away after I sent the request as well as throughout the entire experience. She has a great home and space for the dogs and she is just so good with them. I felt very comfortable leaving Major with her and she was so great with sending updates. I HIGHLY recommend Katie if you're looking for someone who truly knows how to handle dogs and gives them lots of care and attention. Thank you, Katie!”
“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! 😊”
“Danielle was amazing. She even accommodated to my pups stay last minute and was able to watch my him over night. She sent many photos and videos and kept me updated for his whole stay. Will definitely use her again if I’m in the are. Thank you Danielle for making my pup feel loved and comfortable.”
“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!!”
“Yen was AMAZING. forever thankful we where able to find her last minute. she kept us up to date with everything with our Benny. she was amazing with him and so patient since our dog is a little on the anxious side. i would definitely go back to her when we go to California. Thankyou so much!”
“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.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of care, patience, and attention I give to every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, so I take the time to get to know each dog and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need structure and consistency to senior dogs who require a gentler pace, extra patience, and close monitoring. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure. Whether your dog needs plenty of exercise and playtime or a calm, quiet environment, I adapt my care to what works best for them. What also sets me apart is my commitment to communication and reliability. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I provide regular updates, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their dog is receiving attentive, dependable, and compassionate care in a safe environment. I am currently on summer break from school and during summer, pet care is part of my daily routine. I feed, walk, and play with pets every day while keeping them comfortable, active, and happy. I care for pets by making sure they are fed, walked, and given plenty of attention. I keep their spaces clean, follow any special instructions, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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 .

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.
