“HIGLY recommended! Sean was a caring, patient and very flexible with my 2 dogs. Can’t recommend more.Hell certainly be my first call on our next gateway. Thank you again Sean.”
“Yareisy was great!! She house sat my two cats for a long weekend and I would definitely book her again. She made sure to take pictures of everything, including cleaned litter boxes, tons of photos of my cats, and where she left the key at the end of the trip. I highly suggest booking her, your fur babies will be well taken care of!😊😊”
“Renee was great with our dogs. She came and visited before her first house sitting for us and the dogs acclimated to her quickly. When we got home we could tell our dogs were well taken care of. We will have her house sit again for us.”
“Joanna and her daughter were wonderful with our pups while we were gone!! Joanna was very responsive and attentive to our requests. We were grateful they showed our dogs lots of love and will definitely be reaching out to them again! Thank you, Joanna!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. As a longtime pet owner, I understand that every animal has their own routine, quirks, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, basic grooming, medication reminders, and keeping pet parents updated while they’re away. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to find a schedule that fits their needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting based on my availability, and I’ll communicate clearly about scheduling. I understand pets thrive on routine, so I’ll do my best to keep their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime schedules consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m a responsible pet owner myself and understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets appropriately, and provide regular updates. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own.
“Katrin in awesome! Our shy/nervous dog always has a great time when she watches him. She is also super flexible and has helped watch Max on multiple holidays and last minute for us. We absolutely recommend her!!”
“Carol was absolutely amazing! She took care of our Nala girl for the fourth weekend! Not only did she help with fireworks she also made sure she was okay during one of the largest summer storms this year! We 100% recommend her and are so lucky we found her!”
“Jacqueline watched our two rescue dogs (ages 3 and 6) in our house for a week and did a fabulous job! She was so understanding of their behavioral quirks and kept us updated frequently. It was a relief knowing they were in such good hands and seeing photos of their happy faces while we were away. Thank you, Jacqueline!”
About: I have experience with high-drive breed puppies, elderly couch potato pups, and everything in between. I provide undivided attention and care to your animals. Whether it be a walk, a drop-in, or a visit to keep them company, I care for them like I would my own. I work full time, typically 3-11pm with flexible days off. I am completely available every day before 2pm and have flexibility in the evening hours if coordinated in advance. I am available for multiple visits a day even on days I work. What better way to spend the day than taking your pup for a walk or keeping your cat company? I'd love to! I am happy to care for your pet in their home where they're most comfortable. I work as a police officer and deeply value integrity and security. I do have an older pitbull and a shepherd puppy at home should your dog want a play date!
“We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth. Our dogs, Izzy and Stormie, were so well cared for, and we came home to happy pups and a spotless house. Everything was clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. Thank you for taking such great care of our dogs and our home. We highly recommend you and will definitely book with you again!”
About: Hello. My name is Elaineh and I am young, enthusiastic dog lover. I have a flexible schedule, love to go on walks, and my own transportation. I promise to love your pet as my own when they are with me! I currently work part-time but my schedule is very flexible and adaptable to your needs. When I am not at work, I spent most of time at home where I spend my time studying. I have a big yard. It is unfenced but provides a large space for the dogs to run, walk around, and/or use the potty. I also have a car, so I can drive to different parks/walking trials. At home, I have lots of toys and can make homemade food if requested. If the pup simply needs love and attention, I am happy to provide that too!
“Claudine is simply the best! She went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable leaving our dog in her hands. Her warm energy was so appreciated and she provided us with tons of updates (and great photos). Our dog seemed very well taken care of, relaxed and happy when we returned. She was also a very good communicator, thoughtful, and left detailed notes about bathroom breaks and other behavior. We felt at ease having Claudine in our home, and will use her again in the future!”
“Jaclyn was great! She got along with our dogs like she knew them from day one of them joining our family. She went above and beyond to take care of them thank you so much to Rover and especially Jaclyn.”
“Nikkii was absolutely great. She sent pictures and kept me posted on how they were doing daily. My 2 crazy fur babies loved her and can't wait to see her again! Thank you for taking such great care of them”
“Linda is absolutely fabulous! She house sat for my two dogs, one of whom has special needs and requires medication. She kept me updated and send pictures throughout the stay. I was able to truly relax and enjoy my time away knowing they were well taken care of and happy! She was also very respectful while in my home, keeping it clean, watering the plants, and even changing the sheets. I would highly recommend booking Linda as your pet sitter. I plan to continue to utilize her services. However the review that truly matters is your dog’s opinion. When they go crazy with tail wags and kisses for your sitter, like they did for Linda, that’s a really good person!”
About: I’ve been working with dogs for the past two years, and I absolutely love caring for these wonderful animals! Through my experience in dog daycare, kennel care, and grooming, I’ve gained valuable hands-on experience with reading canine body language, feeding and administering medications, bathing and drying dogs of different breeds, and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have two dogs of my own: a 2-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd and a 13-year-old Border Collie/Lab mix. Caring for them has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I walk them daily, manage my senior dog’s medications, take them to veterinary and grooming appointments, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! As of right now, I'm currently working part time so I definitely have the time to care for your pets! I'm fully available anytime on Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. For the rest of the week I'll be in the grooming salon gaining more experience, but I would be available anytime after 4pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays! Your fur baby's safety is always my top priority! I take extra care to ensure your pup is securely leashed before walks, follow all feeding and medication instructions closely, and double-check that all doors and gates are safely secured. I also believe that open communication with pet parents is essential, and I want you to feel comfortable and confident knowing your fur baby is in good hands. I'll always do my best to keep you updated and ensure your pup receives the love, attention, and care they deserve!
About: Hi all! I’ve been pet-sitting since very young (age 10), having experience with various dog breeds and sizes as well as cats. Feel free to reach out so we can connect!

I am very open and able to follow any requests concerning your little ones. I understand that every pet is different when it comes to their needs, so I am very accommodating and willing to learn how to best care for your baby!
“Jen provided excellent care to my 6 month old puppy and two adult cats. She took care of them like her own and even brought our puppy out for a puppy playdate! We definitely will be using her again in the future.”

A basic routine with regular walks, play time, fresh water, an environment that feels like home and balance meal according to your pets dietary needs. The fur baby will be loved and cared. I will follow there daily routine, will help them ensure they are safe and feel at home.

I have used Grace twice now for overnight stays. I would recommend her highly. She communicated with me daily and sent pictures. She was very reassuring and responsible. When I came home, everything was exactly as when I left. I will definitely use Grace again if I need an overnight sitter.
Patricia, was fantastic! She took my (very, very, particular) instructions in stride and followed them perfectly. She was great with my (also very particular) cat, Misha, and even got her to play, which almost never happens with new people! She was super responsive during a very long trip and sent me the best photos anyone has ever taken of my cat as regular updates. I could not recommend her more! :)
Fantastic sitter! Frankie is a newly adopted rescue who is still settling in and can be a bit of a terrier goblin, so I was nervous about leaving her. Isabel was calm, patient, and clearly experienced with dogs. Frankie was happy and relaxed when I got home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Addison is $79 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $54 and $124 per night.

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 Addison 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 Addison 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 Addison 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Meet & Greet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Addison. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
