“It was our great fortune to have had Lissi care of our two cats during a 10 day trip to Italy. Lissi provided care far above and beyond the call of duty. She has an exceptionally positive attitude and was very responsive whenever needed. She was always timely with her arrivals and stayed for the full 30 minutes if not longer. One of our two cats is painfully shy, however, he instantly warmed up to Lissi on the very first visit! That was truly remarkable and a testament to Lissi’s ability to connect with each animal as they are. She provided wonderful daily updates with photos and videos, which were so reassuring to us while we were so far away from home. We never worried for one moment about the welfare of our animals while they were in her care. More than simply feeding and cleaning, Lissi spent quality time with our cats, loving them, petting them and playing with them…and giving them lots of treats as we had asked! She noticed and notified us of a behavioral issue that was quickly resolved thanks to her careful observations. Lissi embodies the spirit of a true animal lover and caregiver. Rover is very fortunate to have such a person working with them. We recommend her wholeheartedly and trust that you will be filled with the same gratitude, reassurance and peace of mind that we have enjoyed thanks to her!”
“Jessica is wonderful! She always gives me a prompt response to my questions and booking requests and always communicates very professionally, while giving me regular updates about her visits. She is also great with my dog and I know she loves my dog like her own 😊 I highly recommend her!”
“She somehow managed to successfully watch a hyper, destructive husky puppy. I'm impressed! She sent lots of photos, status updates, and kept me at peace. She followed instructions and knew the assignment. 10/10 I'd hire her again.”
“Hannah was very responsive and sent loads of photos. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and brought treats for my three dogs so they could get familiar with her. She is such a kind and warm presence and I'm looking forward to book her again in the future- and I'm sure my pups are looking forward to it too!”
“I’m so happy. I was so nervous doing this. I came home to their chewy packages brought inside. Tons of photos. And she even got my SUPER NERVOUS cat to come out!! Whatttt?! Will be hiring again. And often. Thank you so much!!”
“Letting someone into your home take care of your oets is a nerve-racking experience. We are so grateful to have found Vy. She was very thorough on making sure she understood what our pets needs were before, even stopping by before the term started. She was a great communicator, letting us know every time she stopped by with photos and we felt like we were there real time in terms of updates. It really put our minds at ease. We’ll definitely be rebooking with her next time we head out of town!”
About: I’ve work with animals for 9 years now whether that is pet sitting, animal nutrition, fostering or training I love it all! 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!
“I booked Sue for a last-minute trip, and she was quick to respond and took wonderful care of my cat, Oreo. He’s usually independent, but he absolutely adored Sue and would look forward to her visits! I’m so grateful for her care and would gladly have her watch Oreo anytime.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover since birth, and have always had a few dogs my whole life. We fell in love with English Bulldogs and I specialize in bulldog care. But I absolutely love all dogs! I can administer medication, give baths, and troubleshoot any issues that might occur. What to expect: I will treat your fur baby exactly as you would, I will follow directions exactly as you give them. They’ll be treated with love and care. If you book for drop in care, I’ll be sure to give them lots of attention before I leave and make sure all their needs are taken care of before I leave. If you’re booking for daily walks, I will take them around the neighborhood or a nearby park to get lots of exercise and get some energy out. If you’re booking for boarding. We have a large fenced in yard and air conditioned garage with crates. Your pet will receive lots of love in our home! I’ve always been a stay at home mom. I have 3 children who are also animal lovers. I have plenty of time in my day for any schedule that fits your pets needs best. We have a very large fenced in yard, and 4 bulldogs of our own that are all rotated throughout the day from inside to outside. They get daily walks, and there’s plenty of humans to give them lots of love during their stay with us! If I’m doing a daily check in or daily walk, you can trust they’ll be safe in my care. I’m very patient and will go at your animals pace.
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: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make each visit comfortable and enjoyable. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to follow your pet’s specific needs and your instructions. Even though I’m new to Rover, I’m committed to giving your pet the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m occasionally available on Fridays and have flexible availability throughout the weekend. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and provide reliable, attentive, and loving care whenever you need an extra helping hand. I take safety seriously and always follow each pet parent’s care instructions and routine. Before walks, I make sure the leash and harness are secure and check the surroundings before opening the door. I never let dogs off-leash in unfamiliar areas. In hot weather, I avoid the hottest part of the day, bring water, and pay attention to paw safety. On rainy days, I shorten outdoor time when needed and make sure your pet is clean and dry afterward. If I notice vomiting, diarrhea, seizures, or any unusual behavior, I’ll keep your pet safe and calm, document what I observe with a short video when appropriate, and contact you immediately. If veterinary care is needed, I can contact your preferred vet with your authorization. I’ll also send you real-time updates, photos, and short videos throughout the visit so you can feel comfortable knowing how your pet is doing. Before leaving, I always make sure your pet is comfortable, has fresh water, and that all doors and gates are securely closed.
About: I’m naturally very observant and attentive to the little things. I pay attention to details changes in behavior, energy, body language, surroundings, and anything that seems out of the ordinary. I’ve cared for dogs for more than 10 years and have been pet sitting since 2020, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust with a member of your family. I’m dependable, patient, active, and a strong communicator. My goal is for you to leave your dog in my care knowing they are not only being walked or checked on they are being noticed, respected, and cared for. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give each dog my full attention rather than squeezing walks into an already crowded day. I enjoy staying active and outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine. Whether it’s an occasional walk or consistent weekly care, I want your dog to experience someone who is present, attentive, and never just checking a box. Trust begins with paying attention. I carefully follow the routines and instructions you provide because the little details often matter most. During walks and visits, I stay aware of your dog’s body language, surroundings, energy, and anything that seems unusual. I’ll respect your home, communicate clearly, and care for your dog with patience and attentiveness so you can have peace of mind while they’re with me.
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! 🐾❤️
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.
About: I adopted a dog when I was 8, a pomeranian, took care of it and raised it since he was 1 month old. Now I don't have access to him since we moved out, someone else adopted him because we didn't have the ability to keep him. Them adopted other two puppies, huskies, the same story happened as we tend to move a lot. 1 year ago I adopted a frenchie and currently raising it, on a healthy 24 pounds and very active and energic, trying to work on his hyperactivity so I won't be able to take him with me if requested. I'm a Uber driver, so I would always be able to attend any reservations outside of this times: ●Monday to Friday 11:30am - 2:30 pm, 5:30pm - 6:30 pm. ●Weekends negotiable, standard would be 11 am to 3 pm. I feed mine twice a day, depending on activity of the day I might rise the amount he eats just a little to make up for it. Then daily training of 10- 30 minutes with split treats to not over feed.
About: Patient & Attentive: I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed in my care. • Deep Understanding of Needs: Having been a lifelong pet owner and professional sitter for 3+ years, I instinctively recognize subtle cues—whether it’s when they want to play, cuddle, or need a nap. • Experienced Medication Administration: From daily pills to injections, I’m trained and confident in giving medications accurately and on schedule, so you never have to worry. • Customized Care Plans: I adapt walks, playtime, feeding, and downtime to suit each animal’s energy level, health requirements, and behavior style. • Reliable & Trustworthy: Your home and pets are in safe hands—I’m punctual, communicative, and committed to providing updates so you can enjoy peace of mind. My schedule is flexible according to you! I can do any time and any day I am flexible and adjusting. If you need me for a specific time frame I can adjust my schedule to yours Personalized Attention: I learn each pet’s routines and preferences—meal times, favorite toys, and cuddle spots—to keep them comfortable and content. • Safe Exercise & Play: Walks and play sessions are tailored to your pet’s energy level and health needs, ensuring fun while preventing overexertion. • Medication & Special Needs: With experience administering pills, liquids, and injections, I follow vet‑approved instructions precisely and monitor for any side effects. • Calm, Patient Handling: I move at your pet’s pace, allowing shy or senior animals to warm up gradually and extroverted pets to burn off energy safely. • Regular Check‑Ins: I observe behavior, appetite, and activity levels closely—so even subtle changes are caught early and communicated to you.
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.

Asmita was fantastic. Timely, communicative, and very flexible when some of my house and pet needs changed while I was gone. She sent videos and photos daily and provided photos to show tasks had been completed in real time. Would absolutely love to have Asmita again for future bookings! 10/10
Thank you so much for taking care of Lola again for me! I loved all the photos and updates and it’s clear she loves spending time with you - it’s almost like a little vacation for her when I’m away! Appreciate you as always! Thanks for being the best and leaving me assured that Lola is in the best care :)
Emily took such wonderful care of our pets! We were especially worried because one of our dogs is a senior, but she gave them so much love and attention that we were able to enjoy our family trip without any worries. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions carefully. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We will definitely ask Emily to watch our pets again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!
Lissi was great with Uno. She definitely went above and beyond with taking care of Uno. She was very communicative and responded very quickly when we set up the appointments. She took her time to let Uno feel comfortable and sent the best videos and pictures! We were also very happy that she was able to administer a daily pill. We would be happy to book Lissi again.
Hannah was very responsive and sent loads of photos. She asked great questions during our meet and greet and brought treats for my three dogs so they could get familiar with her. She is such a kind and warm presence and I'm looking forward to book her again in the future- and I'm sure my pups are looking forward to it too!
Shana is great! I hired her to take care of our tortoises that live outside while we were gone for 9 days. Not only did they need daily food and water, but their house also needed to be cleaned regularly. They’re pretty large tortoises so they also make big messes. She updated me every day, took pictures, and I came home to a spotless tortoise enclosure which was a dream. She really cared for them the way we do and I knew she bonded with them from her messages. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, trustworthy and extremely caring, hire Shana!
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.
Livio and Chen took great care of our cat Micky this past week! They were super communicative and kept us updated throughout with lots of pix and videos of Micky. They also brought to our attention a potential concern to follow up on which we really appreciate!
Evan was absolutely wonderful with Morrie! From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and clearly a true animal lover. Morrie came home happy and relaxed, which tells me everything I need to know. Evan sent updates that gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I never had to wonder how things were going. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, Evan is your person. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Dianne has been an incredible help with my dog! She is consistently punctual, highly responsive, and communicates timely throughout the process. Most importantly, she brings a fantastic positive energy that my four-legged friends absolutely love. She is incredibly easy to work with, and we are so pleased to have her support. I would highly recommend Dianne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring walker!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a La Palma stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Palma. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
