“Rachel was so kind to both of our dogs and a great communicator! She took great care of our fish by cleaning the water when my Beta needed it and trimmed my dogs nails even! Will certainly ask for her help again on our next trip!”
“Aleyah was amazing with my Puppy! He really enjoyed her checking in on him. She walked him, fed him and took the time to play with him. I'll definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
“Very attentive and quick to respond. He came to meet my Camo right away and was super knowledgeable about dog behavior and tricks to keep him happy why we were away. He was easy for me to trust and I would definitely use him again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 5 years through family, friends, and neighbors. I’m experienced with feeding routines, daily walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and providing plenty of love and attention while owners are away. I can comfortably administer oral medications, perform basic grooming like brushing and wiping paws, and I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Currently I am working from home which will allow for me to be as flexible as needed to watch all of your furry friends whenever necessary! I ensure that pets in both my home and my friends or clients' homes receive attention and loving care, tailored to their individual needs and routines.
About: My family and I have boarded dogs for the last year. We done much house sitting for families, boarded dogs, and have done drop in visits over the holidays and summer vacation. Taking good care of our animals is what we do. It is a big responsibility and we offer the best service! With updating you daily about how your fur babies are doing as well as sending many pictures and videos of them! Right now my schedule is pretty free during the weekdays and weekends with being a college student on summer break! I will be able to provide much attention to our animals. We have a fenced in yard but we will no longer board dogs. House sitting and drop in visits are preferred for our services. With these visits, we make sure that the animals are fed, played with, and taken out. When we leave your home, we will make sure the house is locked and your animals are safe.
“Anna was great! She’s very responsive and easy to work with and she took excellent care of Rex. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone that needs their pets looked after.”
“Valerie, you were awesome with Jesse today!! I so appreciate your continued communication with both visits, it really calmed my heart that you were here for him. I will definitely continue to call on you as long as you're available!!!”
“Trina helped us check in on our cat, and responded promptly to my request. She’s professional, courteous, and maintained communication throughout the whole process. She gave our cat some treats, food, checked on her water, and most importantly she gave her some love 😻. My cat enjoyed Trina’s company and was PURRRing on the phone !🧡 Trina was kind enough to offer to check in on my backyard hens when I mentioned that I was little worried about them too. We appreciate all your help and the peace of mind you gave us while we’re away. 🙏”
About: I had Chows as a kid growing up and I've had my current Chow for 8 years. I love dogs and animals in general and understand the importance of having someone reliable to call on to be able to take care of them. I'll show your furbabies the love they deserve and make sure they're looked after while you're away. I'm available to take care of your pet as needed. I'd love to arrange a meet & greet to get to know your pet in their environment and discuss expectations. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy and well taken care of while you're away. Let me know their feeding and activity schedule and your instructions for keeping their area clean and tidy.
“That is a great addition—it shows she really understands different cat personalities, from the "spicy" ones who hate grooming to the shy ones. Here is the updated review with those details included: ### Review for Liz **Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Liz provided incredible care for my three cats while I was away. It is always a bit stressful leaving a multi-cat household, but Liz handled everything with total professionalism and genuine care. She stayed on top of their specific needs, including: * **Medication & Maintenance:** She reliably administered medicine and kept the litter boxes spotless. Food and water were always fresh and topped off. * **Frank:** I loved the updates about her playing with him; she made sure he got plenty of exercise with his favorite laser toy! * **Rudy:** She even managed to give Rudy a good brushing—something he usually hates when I do it! She clearly has a magic touch. * **Ryan:** For my hider, Ryan, Liz took the time to find her every day just to lay eyes on her and make sure she was safe and doing okay. It’s clear Liz truly loves animals and respects their individual boundaries. I came home to happy, relaxed cats and a tidy home. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, patient sitter!”
“Breanna is AMAZING with my big baby boy 🐕!!! We are beyond Lucky to have found her! She goes above and beyond and is like a Dog Whisperer lol! My German Shepherd LOVES her and she’s his new bestie. I hope I can keep Breanna forever! 5 stars Highly recommend- she’s Wonderful!! 😁”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover for my girl Mindil. I have peace of mind every day that Mindil gets the love and care I would give her, while I’m away at work. Christina is super responsive and helpful and leaves the best cards for me to view after each visit. We got very lucky to have found her.”
“Nicole was an amazing sitter for Gabby! She was very attentive and provided excellent communication. Usually when I leave her with other sitters, she’s shy and reserved - but Nicole brought her out of her shell!! Thank you!”
“Awesome experience! Scherry was able to fit me in LAST MINUTE on a holiday weekend. It was life saving for my family. My dogs had a great time and were well taken care of. She was on time and very attentive and communicated perfectly. I would recommend and use her again!”

Kylie is absolutely the best cat sitter we have ever used! I would give her 6 stars if I could. We have a senior Russian Blue who is very skittish around visitors. She took to Kylie after her first visit. This was an absolute first in 15 years! It was very relieving to see how happy and well-cared for our 2 cats were by Kylie while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in La Plata on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,690 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across La Plata. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Plata. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
