“Molly watched our mini golden doodle, Molly, this past weekend and she was great! She was very responsive, kind, and communicative. She was great at sending pictures and kept us updated! We will definitely be using her again! Highly recommended!!!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. Brian came over to meet our dog and make sure it was a good fit before we decided to use him. Brian sent pics and left our house in perfect condition. I highly recommend Brian!”
“Megan did such a great job with our 3 dogs and cat. We got daily pictures and updates. Our puppy ended up a little under the weather and Megan was quick to respond and kept us updated. It was so nice to have some piece of mind while we were away, knowing our pets and home were being cared for.”
“This is our second time having Lianna dog and cat sit. She was incredibly thoughtful and checked in regularly throughout our trip, including checking about medication for our dog. We loved getting the photos of our pets while away; it makes leaving a bit easier knowing we can count on Lianna to keep them company.”
“Dawn was amazing! She took great care of our dogs. We received updates and photos upon visits. She gave them their meds and gave them a homemade treat (snaps dipped in peanut butter)…so cute! I highly recommend Dawn for your pet sitting needs.”
“I needed a last minute sitter and helen quickly made herself available to watch my dogs. She was very patient with my girl as she can be very shy! I appreciated all the videos and updates which helped reassure me that my dogs were doing fine. I highly recommend Helen and would have her sit again.”
“Marlow was awesome! Gave great updates and communication while we were away & Mickey loved having someone take care of him instead of going to a kennel. Highly recommend Marlow and hope to use again in the future. Thank you! ?”
“Sydney was just wonderful with my pup! She stayed the night with him and gave me great, detailed updates and videos… made sure he was well cared for and got plenty of attention while I was gone. I would not hesitate to hire her again,”
“Repeat customer, Stephanie (Net) is the best and goes above and beyond. We have a bunch of pets including a senior dog and a high energy middle age pup (cats, a lizard, oh my!) and she’s great with everyone. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up always having pets & learned a lot about caring for different types of animals from a young age. I have owned a variety of animals- reptiles, birds, rabbits, a dog, and more. Currently I have 3 cats of my own- Zoey, Pepper & Stitch. I am an animal lover and would love to help make sure you baby is well taken care of so you can focus on what you need to do :) I have experience working with high energy animals & administering medications (ointments, pills to cats and dogs, have given injections to cats & dogs) I currently work 8-4:30, though do have a bit of flexibility with when I am able to come in and leave. I am available some Monday evenings, Tues/Wed/Fri evenings & all day on weekends. There are times I may have to bring my daughter with me for drop ins- she is familiar with and loves animals! I am adaptable and willing to accomodate your pets needs. I’ve had cats slip out the door so I am definitely cautious of safety. I am also used to having a pet that gets into everything, and needing to keep a watchful eye on what is in the environment could be a risk.
About: Hi! 🐾❤️ Animals have always had a special place in my heart! I have over 9 years of experience caring for my own pets and 4 years of experience with Rover and fostering. From playful young ones to senior care who need a little extra patience and love, I’m comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, keeping them happy, and making sure they receive all the attention and affection they deserve. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’ll always do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your little one is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers relaxing and cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐶🐱💕 I am currently working full time Monday-Friday with fridays work from home and my hours are adjustable between 730-330 and will be available after 3 on week days and free all day Saturday and Sunday. I am also willing to accommodate if needed. I will do what I need to do to ensure yourself and your pet feel comfortable and do what your pet is used too in there routine and comfortable with.If this is a puppy I will help crate and potty train if needed. I do have experience with all sorts of dogs large or small. And cats as well!

About: I have taken care of many different animals over the course of my life including but omitted to dogs and cats. I have owned many animals including but not limited too dogs and cats Animals are our best friends and give us love we don’t always get from people. I have experience with giving supplements and medications as well as basic wound care. I want our pets to feel safe secure and comfortable at all times. I have worked with animals of all ages and training. References upon request. I currently am ending employment - 9/25/26 to pursue being a stay at home mom and looking to do some something PT and flexible to work around my families needs. I will be very flexible for all your pet care needs for short and extended absences. My animals are fed twice a day with multiple time a day potty breaks.

I have a fenced in yard and open area that I have ecollar trained my dog to use for more exercise. Depending on your schedule I would be happy to work around my pets schedule so they get fed bathroom breaks and exercise that you request.
“I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D”
About: I've had pets in the past and love caring for them and playing with them. Grew up with a cat, had a dog and coserved a cat with my wife. Because we may move some time internationally, we haven't wanted to make a long term commitment, be we would love to be grandpetparents where we help out by babysitting while people need to travel pet free for a short time. I work full time but from home several days a week. My son, who loves animals will be around on days I am not at home. We would welcome any pets as part of the family. They can cuddle with us on the couch and play out in the yard or chill on our screened in porch. Unfortunately, we cant care forndigs for more than 5 or 6 days as we arent physically able to care for them.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Rotterdam is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rotterdam
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with our English Lab, Steele! From the moment she arrived, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs. Steele had the best time playing with Jennifer's pups, and Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We received thoughtful updates, adorable pictures, and videos throughout her stay, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Jennifer paid close attention to Steele's routine, kept us informed, and even took extra care of our home. What stood out most was how much Jennifer genuinely enjoyed spending time with Steele. She treated her like part of the family! It's not easy trusting someone with your home and your fur baby, but Jennifer made the experience wonderful. We would absolutely welcome her back and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, attentive, and dedicated pet sitter! PS I tip all of our sitters in cash.
Brian did a terrific job watching our 4 dogs and 4 cats. One of our dogs had surgery a couple of weeks before our trip and Brian didn’t hesitate to help with medications, special diet, etc. He took great care of our home, and even watered our flowers while away. Our pets responded very well to him, and our cats exhibited affection for him that we haven’t witnessed before. Thanks Brian!
We had a wonderful experience with Kathryn and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Kathryn stayed in our home for three nights while caring for our 9-month-old puppy, Steele. Steele is still young and requires a good amount of structure and attention—she can only be crated for up to four hours at a time and eats three meals a day. Kathryn handled all of this seamlessly and kept Steele on her routine without any issues. What we especially appreciated was Kathryn’s care during a slightly more challenging time—Steele was just finishing her heat cycle, and Kathryn managed everything with professionalism and ease. It gave us real peace of mind knowing Steele was in such capable hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a house that was just as we left it. Kathryn clearly cares about the animals she looks after and treats them like her own. We would gladly book Kathryn again and highly recommend her to others!
Duncan was a great fit to watch our dog, Bear. He was really thoughtful in his care of Bear and was knowledgeable about breeds of his size (he's a Newfoundland). He kept us informed of how he was doing the whole time we were away. Bear seemed very at ease with him. We will definitely book with Duncan again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rotterdam is $59 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 550 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rotterdam. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rotterdam walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rotterdam maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rotterdam choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
