Top rated Eldridge cat sitters
“We were very nervous to leave our senior kitty for a week since he needs saline infusions everyday to treat his kidney disease. Tia did a wonderful job caring for Pumbaa, giving his medicine, and making him comfortable during his saline. He looked so happy and healthy when we returned. We're very thankful to have such an excellent petsitter to care for our boy when we're away!”
“Lizzie did drop in visits for our cats while we were gone. She did a fantastic job. Tried befriending even the skittish ones. They were all well fed and happy. We would definitely book again.”
“Sydney was great with Jax and Gemma. They can be very excitable but after being away and cared for by Sydney they were calm when we arrived home. She was very communicative while we were away and I could tell by the pictures she sent that they enjoyed having her look after them! I couldn’t have asked for anything more from a sitter and will definitely be booking her if we go away in the future!”
About: I am a current dog mom and have experience with a variety of dogs and cats. I would love to care for your fur kids! I am an active person and enjoy being outdoors. I work full time and nearby with varying hours that allow me to care for pets. I always ensure my dogs’ safety by keeping them in a fenced-in area or on a leash. I value each dog’s unique personality and tailor services accordingly.
“She is fantastic!! She's patient and very caring. I don't trust too many people, but I completely trust her. She took amazing care of my dog and spent some extra time with her when she was sad. Just an incredible young lady, and I highly recommend her.”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and first time leaving my cat since I adopted him, and I felt so much better knowing Nicole was checking in on him. She’s really responsive and accessible, and my cat took to her quickly. I would definitely recommend.”
About: I have had a dog since I was a young child. My love and passion has always been animals. I have pet sit for friends and family. I have always had multiple pets in my home that I have cared for. I am trustworthy and reliable and would love to care for your pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your fur-babies and give them potty breaks and the attention and love they deserve. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs to keep your dogs safe and give them company. I also have a dog crated if needed and lots of toys.
“Sophie really went above and beyond caring for our sweet babies. I was really worried about leaving 4 cats for 17 days but she put me at ease right away. Providing pictures and updates. She even helped us with an ant problem she noticed in the kitchen. When I got home my cats did not seem stressed like they usually do when left alone, they also seemed very well cared for. I would absolutely book Sophie again.”
About: I love dogs! I have grown up with dogs around me all of my life. I have pet-sat multiple days in a row and am willing to stay overnight. I have also just checked in on dogs throughout the day in order to let them out to take care of their business, feed them, make sure they have water and plenty of attention. If any messes are made, I will clean them up to the best of my ability and am willing to pick up poop if requested. I also have lots of experience with dog-walking and am more than willing to do so at the owner's request! I cater to the dogs based on my love for them and any directions given by the owners. If your dogs need someone to love on them, please contact me and I will gladly do so! I work part-time during the week and usually am completely free during the weekends. I will do my best to cater to pets' schedules during the week. Also during Fall and Spring, I will be taking classes at St. Ambrose University. When pet-sitting, I play with the pets, make sure that they get all the attention they need that I can provide, let them out to go to the bathroom, make sure that they are fed and have clean water along with going on walks in order to get some exercise. If there are any messes, I will clean them up to the best of my ability and will pick up poop if requested.
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for over 10 years. Experience with cats and dogs. I am also comfortable medicating animals. Minimal experience with exotics. I do work a full-time job and am available on weekends. I can still dog sit during the week, I just have to leave for work. I can follow any instructions given by the owner to keep their pet(s) safe. I will go outside with them and watch them in the yard.
About: I grew up always being around dogs and cats, there isn’t a time in my life where I haven’t had a pet to care for or watch over. Because of that I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs living their best lives. I currently have a senior kitty who is a little iffy about dogs but would love meeting/playing and walking your pup. I’m available most afternoons during the week. I do work full time but recently had a schedule change so I can start them as early as 3:30pm. I want to make sure your pup is happy and comfortable while spending time with me. I would like to know if there’s any quirks or anything that makes them uneasy.
About: I have cared for many different dogs and cats over the years. From small to large, I love them all. I’ve worked with all kinds of different breeds and personalities! I am looking for some summer weekend jobs! I nanny during the week, so weekends are all that work for me. I would love to walk your pet, play with them, or just let them out to go potty. I have over 2 years of pet experience. I own both cats and dogs, so I have lots of personal experience with both. I am also very responsible and timely when it comes to routines!
About: Hi! I'm Jenna, 19 years old, and high school graduate. I have grown up with pets all my life and I absolutely love them! I'm currently scheduling bookings for week day and weekends as well. My schedule is very flexible. I currently have 2 dogs, Holly and Sadie, along with my cats, Daisy and Pixie. Holly is a 7 year old Maltese and Poodle mix and Sadie is a 2 year old Labradoodle. I have also worked with the Scott County Humane Society and the shelter pups there, where I learned basic first aid for dogs and cats. I believe that pets are our family and we should always find the right care to fit their needs. Contact me and I'll make that happen! Thank you :)

Her dependability gives me peace of mind, knowing that my furry friends are in the best hands. Melissa pays exceptional attention to detail, ensuring that all the needs of animals are met with love and care. What truly sets her apart is her loving nature; she treats every dog as if they were her own.

Cassandra C.
“Cassie is the best! She has watched my dogs (and fish) for about a decade and I could not have asked for a better experience. Her background lends to her expertise in pet care and my animals love her. Her communication is on point and she is my first choice when I need someone to care for my pets when I have to leave town. I strongly recommend her to my friends, family, and anyone on Rover”
