“Amy is absolutely incredible! She is kind and compassionate and took the best care of our girls. She was thorough and trustworthy and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Amy. She will go above and beyond for you and your fur babies. What a wonderful experience to have someone care for our animals as much we do. We are looking forward to working with Amy in the future. Thank you for everything Amy! And we mean, everything! 😉”

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter, cared for my own dog Missy for 9 years, and worked part-time at Camp Bow Wow (located in Bound Brook, NJ). This background helps me create a safe, structured, and positive environment where your dog can relax, have fun, and feel well cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my weekly routine. I’m able to schedule visits, walks, and drop-ins around my work hours, so your pet can get consistent attention and care. I plan my days with your pet’s needs in mind, making sure they stay on their usual feeding, play, and walk schedule while you’re away. I care for pets by following their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel secure and comfortable. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, give them plenty of affection and enrichment, and keep their space clean and safe. I also stick closely to any instructions you provide, from favorite toys and treats to specific schedules, to make sure your pet’s day feels as normal and stress-free as possible.

“We had an excellent experience with Bri while she took care of our three cats. Our little ones quickly grew fond of her, and she made sure they were well-fed and had fresh water. I would definitely book her again. Highly recommend!”

“I have a very shy cat that has never been seen before by a sitter....that is until Amber! She was so caring and loving that the cat made an appearance, which Amber took photos of and sent me. Unbelievable. A pet-whisperer for sure. Every day she checked in twice and provided pictures of the cat, the litterbox, the food dishes. She went above and beyond collecting the mail, and she even refilled a humidifier each day because my shy cat loves watching it make bubbles at night. She was stellar in keeping everything near and tidy. I cannot recommend her enough. Every friend that has a cat in my area will hear nothing but positive reviews and recommendations. If you think she is "too expensive" keep in mind that Rover takes a huge cut of every sitters fee, leaving them with a lot of work for little money. In the end be kind and tip. Amber - if you're reading this, Talula and her parents can't thank you enough!”

About: I've been walking dogs since I was 12 years old, of various sizes, behaviors, and energy levels. I also attended an Agricultural High School and learned 1 year of dog training and 2 years of dog grooming in high school. The past job I worked at was a dog daycare for a seasonal job. Then had side jobs where I walked other people's dogs and babysat cats I currently have 1 dog, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles that I care for. One of my cats is an adult, and the other is a kitten. I am a recent college graduate, and my only routine is waking up at 6 am to take my roommate to school at 7 am. Then picking my roommate up from school at 3:15pm. Otherwise, just looking for jobs. I have a fenced-in yard, and the pet would be supervised and never left alone. If they need to be left alone, there is a small room and a crate to protect them from getting into anything when unsupervised. I am the type of person who worries about the animal's health and will always let the owner know if I notice anything abnormal with the pet.

About: I’ve been a trusted pet sitter since I was a child and now have five cats and two dogs of my own! I have been a cat foster for several years and have cared for over 100 cats/kittens with varying needs and behaviors. I’m comfortable giving meds if needed (I’m even familiar with kitty inhalers). It would be my pleasure to care for your furry family members! I work an earlier shift, so I have a lot of free time after work. I don’t mind stopping by early in the morning, either! I will care for your pets as if they were my own! No matter what silly quirks or routines they have, just let me know and I will accommodate them!

About: Cats have been a favorite part of my pet-care experience for years! Through my residential cleaning business, I’ve had the opportunity to care for clients’ cats, including cats with special needs. I provide dependable drop-in visits with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I can also administer medication when needed and am experienced with special care, including insulin injections. I understand that every cat has a different personality. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or needs extra attention, I respect their boundaries and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll treat your home respectfully, follow your cat’s routine, and provide photo updates so you can enjoy your time away with greater peace of mind. I serve Guilderland and nearby areas, including parts of Schenectady, Rotterdam, Albany, and Niskayuna, depending on distance and availability. Evening and weekend visits are welcome! I offer cat drop-in visits on weekdays, in the evenings, and on weekends, depending on my schedule. I’m generally home by 2:30–3:00 PM most weekdays and can often accommodate afternoon and evening visits. Weekend availability is also possible with advance notice. I keep my calendar updated and will confirm visit times before accepting a booking so your cat’s care fits smoothly into their routine. I provide attentive drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s routine and personality. I’ll refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime and companionship, and administer medication when agreed upon and within my abilities. I respect your cat’s boundaries and keep their environment clean and comfortable. I’ll also send photo and video updates so you can see how your cat is doing while you’re away.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old and babysitting since I was 13 years old. I have had pets my whole life and have gained the nickname Dr. Doolittle because of how good I am with all types of animals! I have always been a natural at caretaking for animals and kids. I have experience working with behavioral and nervous dogs as well as all sizes of dogs. I am currently a full-time graduate student studying special education and literacy. On weekdays I am student-teaching during school day hours (7am-3pm) and on weekends I am typically busy doing homework! Over the summer I work as a teaching assistant where my hours are 8:30am-2:30pm on weekdays. On the weekends I am able to spend the majority of the time caring for pets, often hanging out with them and doing homework, and taking breaks to play and go on walks! During the week while I am working I am able to stop in for walks and feeding after work and class. When caring for pets in a clients home I am always sure that I know where everything I may need is located in the home including food, treats, collars, leashes, potty bags, kitty litter, scoops, etc. I also am sure to check in with clients so I know what areas of the home are totally off limits and what is allowed (for me and the pets!). I always do my best to create an environment for pets so that they feel safe and comfortable with me in their home so that they know they can trust me!

About: 🐾 Hi! I’m proud to be a certified crazy dog & cat lady - I have two dogs & four cats and I've taken care of dogs & cats of every kind over the past 18 years. Ever seen some crazy girl wearing a hoodie with her cat's face all over it? Yeah, that's me. Ever been so obsessed with your pets that you contemplated tattooing yourself with their paw print? Yep, I did it. Ya know the weird girl that jumps up and down everytime she sees a dog and asks to pet them? You guessed it, that's me. There's only one thing I"m truly passionate about and it's animals! I love dogs of all sizes & have experience with all different temperments & personalities over the years as well - from the laziest of the lazy who want nothing more than to nap 85% of the day to the highest strung herders who need a job all day long, I've had them all! I have a lot of experience with special needs & senior animals as well - our mini dachshund is fully deaf & visually impaired so her disabilities are a part of our everyday life! 🐾 My schedule is pretty open & flexible - whether you need mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends or weekdays, I’m just happy for the chance to take care of your babies while you’re gone! 🐾 You know what’s best when it comes to your babies care so whatever your preferences, requests, rules, and asks of me are is exactly what I am going to deliver! I'm here to give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are being cared for exactly like you would & loved like they're my own in your absence! 🐾 House Sitting - please note that my standard rate covers a minimum of 12 hours of overnight care & one drop in during the day, meaning your babies will be alone for up to 8 hours at one time; however, I typically will leave them alone no longer than 4-6 hours at a time (8 is the max and the exception, not the rule, unless you instruct me otherwise on them being ok alone that long daily). While I still welcome the opportunity to watch dogs that cannot be alone for more than 4 hours, they are considered “constant care” and my rates will be adjusted accordingly. Please don’t hesitate to reach out; I’m happy to make a plan that works for your pup’s needs! 🐾 House Sitting - I kindly request that all indoor cameras be disclosed during the meet & greet and turned off while I’m in the home for any areas OTHER than designated pet areas (ex. if your cats have a bedroom or you have a camera facing your dogs favorite hang out spot during the day - I’m completely fine with you leaving those on as I have the same in my home and love watching my babies while I’m out).

About: I’ve had and worked with dogs for the last 10 years, both my own and at my workplace. I’ve managed a doggie daycare/ boarding kennel at the animal hospital I work at for the last 3 years. I’m educated and confident in my ability to administer medications, including insulin and oral medications. I am knowledgeable on dog behavior and body language, which I believe is extremely important for handling all animals. I absolutely love my senior pups and puppies alike, I believe certain dogs require different attention and I’m confident in my ability to provide that. I currently work full time, but am able to make early morning walks or check ins for my local area, same goes for lunch drop bys or short walks. My mid afternoons, evenings, and weekends are all entirely free for caring for your fur babies. It’s not always easy to find someone to trust with your precious fur babies, but my services come with a high level of respect, responsibility and confidence. While I am with your pet I can assure you that their needs and safety are my top priority. You will never have to worry about your pet getting enough love, attention, or exercise.

About: As a former caregiver for elderly and disabled individuals, I’ve had the privilege of not only caring for people, but also the pets and homes they deeply love. In many cases, pets are family — and I treat them that way. Through my work in home health and private care, I’ve provided daily support that included: • Feeding pets on consistent schedules • Administering medications when needed • Walking dogs and cleaning up after them • Cleaning litter boxes and maintaining pet hygiene • Providing companionship, playtime, and emotional comfort • Monitoring behavior and health changes • Maintaining a clean, safe, and organized home environment I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty to play with your pups. They also can have playtime with other pups if allowed. I have a fenced and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend safe. I can easily crate your dog if needed. I can provide grooming and training services.

“Dominic was easy to communicate with, showed up exactly on time, and executed the instructions.. Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it was only a 30 min walk. Not enough time to be perfect. Will definitely used him again if the need arises.”

I treat every pet and home like my own.

About: Throughout my life I have taken care of dogs in many different capacities. Today I am currently an owner, foster parent for Petey's Legacy, and lover of all furry friends. I have experience with all ages and breeds and can provide the greatest experience a pup can ask for. I am always available for whatever your friend may need. I am available anytime, day or night to care for your pets. I know pets sometimes cannot wait to get the care they need and I am able to place them first on my list. I currently have two dogs and foster another one. At my home I have land that allows the dogs to move freely while on an extended leash. My foster dog has their own space that is separated from the other two so they can feel comfortable with a place of their own. All dogs receive equal attention and love. If I am caring for your pets at your home I am able to stay overnight if requested.

About: I have taken care of all different types of pets since I was young. I’m very comfortable administering medication to those who need it, playing with the young energetic animals, and being sensitive to older ones who may need extra care. I currently work full-time but I am one a hybrid schedule so I am home all day on Monday, Thursday, and Friday. I usually have things to do on the weekends but with enough notice I can certainly work around that. I have one 3 year old cat who is very friendly, quiet, and a bit of a cuddle bug. He is comfortable with other dogs and cats. I have a fenced in porch and a walkable safe neighborhood.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Rotterdam

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Rotterdam is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $30 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.

As of November 2026, there are 187 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rotterdam. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rotterdam. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
