“Excellent working with Shana! She kept us informed with pictures and detailed notes of all the time and activities with our cat. We felt at ease knowing our pet was being well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with dogs in my home since I was a toddler. I have watched/washed/walked animals all my life for family and friends my whole life. I am a working mom to an 11 year old and a 5 year old! I have plenty of time in my schedule for taking care of animals. I can easily take the dogs for a walk to let them go potty along with getting some fresh air. I can give meds to animals whenever needed. I do work an odd schedule of 6am to 8:30am, the go back in again from 1:30pm until 6pm. I do go home for a 5 hour lunch, and during that time I can take care of animals! My husband comes home at 4pm so he will be there if needed for boarding! I am reliable with transportation! I do not have a fenced in yard but will happily take animals out for a walk every few hours! I work Monday through Friday from 6am to 8:30pm, the have a lunch until 1:30pm, and get off again by 6pm! During the 5 hour lunch I can take animals outside to go potty or hang out with them for bit! I have children and a husband that will spoil animals until they need to go home! We as a family treat each animal as if they are our own!
“I highly recommend using Madeline for drop in visits! She did a wonderful job caring for our two Boxers. She was very communicative and right on time with her drop-ins. We can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
“Nat was the absolute best. She showed up on time, and took the absolute best care of my kitties. She seemed to have liked them too so it was a win win! I would not hesitate to hire her services again. She also left my apartment in better condition than when I left for my vacation lol”
“Victoria did an amazing job with our only child and very vocal boy! He is a high energy baby who is used to having people around and has sometimes gotten into some boredom trouble or become less interested in food when we go out of town, neither of which happened while Victoria was watching him. Victoria sent amazing, detailed updates, plenty of pictures, and even took extra care to pick up some of our fallen decor when the wind picked up outside. Our house was perfect when we came back with full waters and all signs of a perfect stay when we came back. We hope Victoria stays on as a Roverer, because she will be our new regular if she is interested!”
“Anna took great care of my kittens. She sent photos and updates regularly. She communicated well throughout and is very professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Theresa was so great with our two cats, one being a new kitten. She was incredibly responsive and even came over a few days before she was scheduled to walk around the house and let me show her where things were. Will definitely be using Theresa again if needed!”

About: I have experience caring for many kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets. I’d love to care for your pet with a drop-in visit if you’re out for the day. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been pet sitting for friends for many years. I truly love all animals and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention, along with fresh food, snacks, and clean water. And yes — I even take care of the litter box! I am available to drop in and check on your cat Fri evenings, and pretty much when you need on Sat/Sun. I like to plan ahead, so earlier bookings are great but I understand some times you may need someone last minute, and that’s ok too! I am scheduling for drop ins to check on and care for your cats or kittens. I will feed, and give fresh water, change the litter box and give your cat some love and attention.

I'd love to meet your pet, learn their routines, quirks, and learn anything that's required for their care and your peace of mind.

I would highly recommend Shana! She was absolutely amazing and did such a great job keeping me updated on how my fur babies were doing and what they were up to during her drop-in visits. She also sent lots of pictures, which I loved! It made my heart so happy seeing how happy and comfortable they were with her. I trust her with them wholeheartedly and will definitely be booking her again for any future drop-in visits! 🐾❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in La Platte is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
