“Gileen was very caring and loving to my dog who is often anxious with strangers. I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her. She will be dog sitting for us again tomorrow and in the future. Gileen is great! 👍🏼 ☺️”
“Kat was great with my super nervous rescue dog when we had to leave him for a vacation for a week! She was very understanding of needing to be patient with him and she followed my instructions. She was sure to communicate with me while we were gone and sent lots of photos. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“This was our second time having Vivienne watch Izzy, and she's been wonderful each time. Reliable and communicative, and Izzy seems extremely comfortable with her. I felt very confident leaving Izzy with her while I traveled, and will hire again!”
“Lissi was great and very attentive with our pups. Very communicative and sent lots of pictures and videos to us during her stay. My pups were very happy when we got home, they looked like they really enjoyed their time with Lissi!”
“I was thoroughly pleased with Cheryl! She was honest, responsive, and very kind. This was my first time using Rover so I had asked her to meet with me before I even booked. She used her time to come and meet with me and my dog which put my mind at ease. Cheryl kept in contact with me sending sweet pictures and any concerns she had for my dog. She went above and beyond and cleaned my home before she left. This was the first time I’ve ever gone on vacation and was completely comfortable that my dog was being loved and well taken care of. I will definitely use Cheryl in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Taryn! I’m a college student who genuinely LOVES animals, and I would be so excited to take care of your fur babies while you’re away! I know how stressful it can be leaving your pet with someone you don’t know, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re getting lots of attention, love, and care while you’re gone. ❤️ I’m very responsible, patient, and attentive, and I’m happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to. I know every dog is different—some want to run around and play, some want a long walk and lots of sniffing, and some are happiest getting cuddles on the couch! 🐕 What does a visit with me look like? For walks: I don’t just rush your dog around the block! I’ll let them take their time sniffing, exploring, and getting their energy out while keeping them safe. I’ll always make sure they have water afterward, and I’m happy to send you pictures along the way so you can see what your pup is up to! For potty breaks: I’ll take your dog outside and stay with them rather than simply opening the door and leaving them. I’ll make sure they actually potty, give them plenty of time, and clean up afterward. If your pup needs multiple potty breaks throughout the day, I’m happy to follow their normal schedule. For playtime: Whether your dog loves playing fetch, tug-of-war, chasing toys, or just getting some attention, I’ll make sure they get plenty of interaction and exercise. 🎾 For puppies: I know puppies need extra patience and supervision! I’m happy to help with frequent potty breaks, playtime, crate routines, and keeping them entertained while you’re away. 🐾 For the cuddly ones: If your pet would rather spend the whole visit getting belly rubs and cuddling, I’m perfectly happy with that too. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I’ll pay attention to their behavior, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. You enjoy your time away and I’ll make sure your pet is happy, loved, and well taken care of while you’re gone! I’d love to meet you and your pet and hopefully become your go-to sitter! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule. I only have two in-person classes and work three days a week for shorter shifts, so I have plenty of availability for pet care. I’m especially flexible with daytime visits and overnight stays, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and schedule! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone new. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make their safety and happiness my top priority. I’m attentive to their needs, will carefully follow any instructions you leave, and will make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and cuddles. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away! 🐾❤️
“We couldn’t be happier with Brionna’s performance watching our beloved 14 year old puppy. We’ve never been away from her for 5 days before and we could tell from the wonderful pictures Brionna sent that she was relaxed and happy, which made it a relaxing trip for us. I’m not in the habit of writing reviews, but she deserves lots of praise for what she did, looking out for our house as well as being a great dog sitter!”
“We have rebooked Kayla multiple times because she not only great with our cat and dog but she also keeps us updated consistently. Getting photos and videos throughout the trip always helps us relax even more! Plus the pets are so excited to see her every time. Will Rebook soon!”
“Holly was the perfect house sitter for Lucy. She has a very calm and soft demeanor and Lucy was comfortable with her in no time at all. Holly was very attentive and responsive throughout the whole process and I was comfortable knowing I could reach her easily. I would definitely ask Holly to watch Lucy again and would highly recommend her to others looking for a trusted carer for their pets.”
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we are very pleased with the care Maria gave to our dogs and our home. I'm sure our dogs we'll be excited to have Maria come snuggle with them”

I have 4 cats and a dog myself (black lab/german shepherd) but i also love to take trips. So i know how important it is to find the perfect sitter to take care of them when you can’t be there yourself! I’m currently working part time and studying so I have lots of time to play with your pets! I usually line my daily animal care routine up with my sitting routine so everyone gets taken care of morning and night. Saftey and trust are earned with many animals. Especially coming into your animals home I am there to respect them and cater to their needs. Let me know how to best care for your pet (favorite blanket, comfort toy, etc.) and i will make sure they have the best time!
About: Im a life long pet owner with experience sitting all sorts of animals. Ive taken care of the smallest puppies to giant breed dogs as well as indoor and outdoor cats. I have fostered future service dog puppies, guinea pigs and rabbits too! I know when owners leave the house it can be stressful for the animals, thats why I stay at the owners house so the animals have the least amount of change possible. I love animals and am so excited to work with your pets! I am a college student who takes most of my classes online. This makes my schedule pretty flexible and only requires me to go to school two days a week. This allows me to be with your pets for the remainder of the time and give them all the love and care they need! I am available all major holidays but book up fast! I'll take care of your pets in your home. I know that leaving home can be stressful for both you and your pet that why I aim to keep your pets schedule the same as much as I possibly can.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of pet and house-sitting needs. I’m open to different schedules, including extended stays, overnight sitting, and last-minute bookings when available. My goal is to make things as convenient as possible for both you and your pets. I take safety, trust, and respect very seriously. I understand that when I’m caring for someone’s pet, I’m also being trusted with their home and personal belongings. I treat every household with the same care and respect I would expect for my own, making sure pets are safe and comfortable while keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I’m mindful of boundaries, follow the owner’s instructions, and always leave the home and belongings exactly as I found them.
About: Hi! My name is Elizabeth, but you can call me Liz. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for family friends over the years, giving me experience caring for pets while their owners are away. I’m organized, dependable, and a strong communicator. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, so I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos to give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always aim to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accept pet care requests on many afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks. Since my work schedule can vary from day to day, I do my best to keep my calendar updated and communicate promptly about my availability. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit or consistent care while you’re away, I’m organized, reliable, and committed to making sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I always care for pets as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal routine by following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get the exercise or playtime they need. I also keep their living area clean and tidy and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Logan took awesome care of our dog over 5 days and left our house spotless. She was dependable, responsible and communicative. Our dog is a senior with some medical needs and a specific schedule, Logan handled everything perfectly. I’d highly recommend her for housesitting!”
“Keane took great care of my pups and was very communicative in the process. He sent photos of happy pups, kept me update on their meals and I’d use his services again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have fostered many friends pets. Including dogs and cats, and I have fostered a cat for half a year. And much more story of pet care. I have no outside helpers, but am passionate in taking care of pets! I am at home all week except Tuesday and Wednesday, so I am available on Thursday, Friday, and weekends most of the time.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Palma
We've used Keane for both dog walking and house sitting, and he's been fantastic at both. For the house sitting, he did everything exactly as we specified and took great care of our home and dogs. He was responsive, really accommodating, and takes pride in doing the job right. We felt completely confident leaving everything in his hands even with one of our boys being more reactive. We would highly recommend him for any service and will use him again.
We had such a great experience with Sue and are incredibly grateful! She stepped in on very late notice and truly saved our ski trip. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring. Our German Shepherd can be a handful, but Sue handled her with confidence and care. She made sure our dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks, and it was clear she was happy and comfortable the entire time. We really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave her.
Nicole is amazing. We did a few short visits for the dogs to get to know her before our week long trip away. She picked up on our dogs’ personalities very quickly and adapted her energy to match to make it the best possible scenario. She was polite and respectful to both our dogs and our home while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis for all our sitter needs!
Candy is an absolute gem of a dog sitter! From the moment we connected, I felt completely at ease leaving my dogs in her care. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, which shows in everything she does. Candy kept me updated and treated my dogs like her own. I came home to happy, relaxed pups, which says it all. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Candy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and wonderful dog sitter.
Julia was awesome. Was pretty anxious about leaving my boy with a stranger for the first time, but Julia and her partner had good vibes and showed she took the job seriously after our first meeting which put me at ease. She sent daily photos and updates for the 10 days I was away and my home was as clean as when I left. Will definitely ask for her help again in the future. Thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - La Palma
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Palma on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 14,884 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Palma. 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 La Palma 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 La Palma 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 La Palma 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 La Palma. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
