All sitters are background-checked, insured, and reviewed by previous customers. Services range from 30-minute drop-in visits to full overnight stays. The app makes it easy to filter by location, availability, dog size, and experience with specific breeds. Most Amsterdam sitters on Rover speak English.

Pawshake is a Netherlands-based pet sitting platform that has a particularly strong presence in Amsterdam, with a large network of local sitters offering everything from 30-minute drop-in checks to full-day doggy daycare. What distinguishes Pawshake from international platforms is the density of Amsterdam-specific sitters and a community feel. Many sitters are long-term locals who know the neighbourhood and its dog parks. All sitters are background-checked and covered by Pawshake insurance. Particularly recommended for repeat visits or longer stays where you want to build a relationship with a reliable local sitter.
