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!

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 have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and temperaments. I previously cared for three dogs of my own and have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and multi pet households. I’m comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets and always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I can accommodate special feeding schedules, daily routines, and individual care needs to help maintain consistency while you’re away. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with photos and messages throughout their pet’s stay, so they always have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home. I’m trusted with others animals. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care from morning to night. Your pet won’t just be checked on, they’ll receive plenty of companionship, playtime, affection, and supervision. I’m able to accommodate special feeding schedules, medication routines, potty breaks, and individual care needs to help keep their routine as normal as possible. Whether your pet is staying for a day or an extended visit, my goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special care instructions before their stay so they feel as comfortable as possible. I provide a calm, clean, and loving home where pets are closely supervised and treated like family. I have access to a secure, fenced outdoor area within my apartment community for safe potty breaks and fresh air. I’m experienced caring for shy or anxious pets, as well as homes with multiple pets, and I always adapt my care to each animal’s unique needs. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and in caring hands.

About: Hi! My name is Alexa, I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals of many personalities and ages. I recently relocated to California and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I am happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight care, puppy care, and providing extra patience for senior dogs or pets who may feel anxious when their owners are away. I have a 2 year old fur baby of my own, Arlo; who's taught me how important routine, exercise, and affection are for a dog’s happiness and well-being. I’m always able to adjust to your pet's needs and personality. Whether they love long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with someone nearby. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I enjoy spending the majority of my time with animals and being active outdoors. I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and making sure pets get the attention they need throughout the day. I am sure to keep their routine as consistent as possible with what they’re used to at home. I follow instructions closely when it comes to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and respect I would give Arlo ❤️. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s environment and the home itself. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their surroundings clean and calm. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they are happy and stress-free while you're away. Communication is also important to me, I like to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your fur babies are doing well.

She was great with our cats and took the extra time to care for them. She followed all instructions for cat care and helped keep our cat’s food area clean (no easy feat since we have some messy eaters here haha). She was very attentive to detail with our pets. We were always kept up to date with how our cats were doing and felt comfortable working with her. Definitely would recommend this cat/dog sitter for your loved ones since she did a great job!! Thanks 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.

Nicole took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. Not only did she walk and care for our dog daily, she communicated regularly and checked in whenever she had questions. She is personable, attentive to details, and a total natural when it comes to caring for pets. We would totally ask Nicole to care for our pet again and highly recommend her to other pet owners.

About: I’ve been with dog since I was very young and adopted mine own on 2020 July from a rescue center in Henry, CA. I’m so lucky to have him (Noodie) with us since then. He’s our youngest family member and definitely got spoiled. =) Just let me know in advance and I’ll try to accommodate. I am working from home so could be flexible. Pretty early morning and late afternoon and evening to avoid excessive heat. My Noodie has been spoiled for sure. He used to be having separation anxiety however after those past year confidence and trust we build among everyone in this family, he’s right now totally fine with stay home on his own.

This is my third time booking with Asmita, and I honestly wouldn’t book with anyone else! She is very attentive to even the smallest details and always goes above and beyond when taking care of my cats. She cleaned up the mess they made, washed their food bowls when she noticed some ants, refilled their water, and even cleaned up the litter they tracked around. I always feel comfortable and at ease when I’m away knowing my cats are in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention she gives them every time! ❤️

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!

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!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - La Palma

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in La Palma on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 20,934 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Palma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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
  • 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.

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.
