I am so happy with my experience using Amy to watch my lab when I was away for a week! She is excellent with communication. I could tell from the photos updates that Stanley was having a great time. I definitely plan on using Amy again in the future!

Gillian is absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, we felt confident that our dogs were in good hands. It’s clear how much she cares and loves animals. Our girls were so happy and relaxed when we returned, and we loved the updates and photos she sent while we were away. We were able to relax and not worry about the girls while we were gone. Gillian went above and beyond, not only taking care of the dogs but also ensuring everything at home was in order. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and kind dog sitter, Gillian is it!

Having to leave when I had a sick cat at home was very stressful to me, but I wanted to keep him at home with his sister to keep his stress levels as low as possible. Nadia did an amazing job with both of my cats and was amazing with the sick one, patiently giving him the medication and fluids he needed daily and respecting his needs as well to keep him calm. I couldn't ask for more than someone who cares for my babies like their own and Nadia provided that for me. I will remember her for the next time I need to take a trip for sure!!

Adrianna did a couple drop in visits while we were out of town on vacation to hang out with our cat. Adrianna was amazing with our Zoey, giving Zoey the attention she deserves while we were gone, and was prompt and friendly to communicate with. We plan to hire her again for other times we need someone to stay with our cat or dog!

Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.

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.

Abigail was excellent as always! Our cat gets cranky when we go away for a few days, but he warmed up to Abigail right away and he looked totally relaxed with her. She did a great job giving him lots of attention and pets and cheering him up. Super trustworthy, sweet, and easy to communicate with!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of individualized care and attention I give every dog. I don’t just “watch” pets — I truly get to know their personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience training puppies, including basic commands, leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing positive behaviors. I’m also confident caring for senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or mobility support. Whether your pup is high-energy and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their unique temperament. I prioritize clear communication, regular photo updates, and creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine — I intentionally structure my schedule to make sure I have dedicated, unhurried time for each dog. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, playtime, feeding schedules, or evening cuddles, I plan my days around the pets in my care so they receive consistent attention and companionship. I build flexibility into my week to accommodate different energy levels and needs, from active pups who love longer walks to seniors who prefer shorter, gentler outings. Because I prioritize reliability and routine, your dog can count on consistent care, and you can count on dependable communication and updates. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely make space for. In My Home: When pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow your feeding schedules, potty routines, exercise needs, and any specific instructions you provide. Dogs receive plenty of supervised playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and affection. I’m mindful of introductions (if other pets are present), keep the space clean and secure, and make sure every dog has a comfortable area to rest and relax. In Your Home: When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their usual routine to reduce stress. I stick closely to feeding times, walks, and preferred activities. I also respect your home by keeping things tidy, bringing in mail if requested, and ensuring everything is secure before I leave. My goal is to make your absence feel as smooth and normal as possible for your pet. For both services, I prioritize safety, communication, and regular photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, attentiveness, and lots of love.

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 had a love for dogs since I was young, the past year I’ve had experience looking after my friends dogs for overnights or a simple walk. I’m always open to looking after them during family vacations or helping where I can with a mini walk break or a light jog! Boarding I am only available weekends however weekdays I have more flexibility to dog sit. Regularly scheduled bathroom break, plenty of time on walks, and maybe a pup cup! I do not have a fence in my own home, however I am used to long walks with dogs in high temperatures and understand the importance of balance and rest for dogs in extreme weather.

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! 😉

This was our cats' second booking with Cassandra. I will let their reactions to us coming through the front door speak for me: Yasha got up from sleeping and stretched a bit before trilling while walking to her dad for pets. Usually she is standoffish for at least two hours before begrudgingly asking for affection. Molly sprinted towards the front door and slid a bit on the floor as he stopped suddenly. He let out a loooooong meow before turning around and walking away. He had been starting to run to greet Cassandra at the door, and I can't help but feel like he was disappointed it was us and our luggage instead. 18/18 toe beans and 100% cat approved sitter!

Mary took such good care of our gang of quadrupeds. We booked last minute but she was still able to schedule a meet & greet with the crew prior to caring for them. One of our dogs (ok, 2) struggles with new people, but Mary was patient and took her on a little trust walk to get acclimated, which meant a lot to us. She was a dream and we highly recommend her to care for your loved ones too!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Rotterdam

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rotterdam on Rover is $27.75 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,082 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rotterdam. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rotterdam stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
