About: Hi, I’m Nat! Im from Elmhurst IL and have always grown up with cats and dogs at our house! Currently I have a dog and two cats in my own! I have been pet sitting for the past 8 years also! I typically prefer not to stay overnight but can’t take out right before bed and right in the morning💕 -for boarding… I always have my dad watch my pets so your pet won’t be stressed out with new animals in a different environment! -We live in a house in Elmhurst on a quiet street near a park. We also have a little over 1/2 acre lot for dog to run around in! -I always like to offer a phone call/meet and greet before to get to know me before. This also helps so that I can meet the family and pets beforehand! More than happy to offer any references. -I also currently work with many families and have many references I can offer! -I am comfortable with older/younger dogs since we got our dog as a puppy, and he is now a senior -I am happy to offer oral meds/shot if needed, since I have dealt with both a lot! -A little about me is that I am currently a senior at Benedictine University in Lisle as a Finance major. Your support will help me pay off my college as I finish my last year of school! Thank you so much and can’t wait to meet you and your pets! So grateful I have a job getting to work with animals and wouldn’t be possible without you! Pet care works perfect into my schedule because I have so much flexibility with my online schooling and o can’t wait to meet your pet! Just let me know what you and your pet need and I can provide! What I can offer is topline care for your pet at an affordable rate. I can walk feed and check up on your pets whenever needed. I also will send videos/photos throughout the stay and updates everyday to let you know how your pet is doing!
“Mariela was amazing! She dropped by to take care of our dog Kobe and did a fantastic job. She was reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs and Kobe absolutely loved her. It gave us total peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind sitter. 🐾”
“Amberley was a wonderful sitter. She is reliable, communicative, responds quickly and went above and beyond to take care of our cat. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Maddie is very responsive, reliable, and accommodating with last-minute requests. She’s great with Ollie and always leaves thoughtful notes and pictures after her visits. We really appreciate her help!”
“Ashley was the first Rover sitter we used, and we are so happy with the service she provided. She gave us detailed notes about each visit. She sent pics of each cat every day, so I knew they were ok. She brought in the mail and took out the garbage. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: I have loved animals since childhood, and when I was a child I had a cat. I also lived with my boyfriend's family for a year, they had a dog and I took care of Him. Now periodically my friends leave their dogs with me when they go on a trip or on a business trip. I love this expression: "Dogs talk, but only to those who can listen." I work online so I have a lot of time to play and take care of your dogs. The second part of the day is more freely , but I have a flexible schedule and can combine work and pet care. I have a large one-room apartment with plenty of space for a dog. Near the house there is a large area outside for walking, a few minutes away there is a large park with a lake. I walk the dog several times a day, feed it on schedule, and play with the cats' and dogs' favorite toys.
“Kirsten was extremely helpful with both a last minute booking and with dealing with a special requirement for keeping my two dogs separated. I felt very comfortable being out of town knowing she was checking in on them.”
“Emily was very efficient and went above and beyond to make sure I had peace of mind while away. I will most definitely be requesting her services the next time I go on vacation!”
About: I have taken care of various animals since I was 16, ranging from chickens, roosters and parakeets, to hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I have helped birth and take care of newborn puppies. I have open availability for either in-home care or boarding during the week and on Saturdays. I am available morning, day and night for either full care and company, or just a daily walk. I will take care of your pet or pets as if they were at home, whether they're actually at home, or in my own home. I'm bilingual, para los dueños y mascotas que necesiten la confianza de ser escuchados en su idioma, yo cuidare de ellos.
About: I’ve taken care of up to 4 dogs at a time. I have 6 years of experience. I have taken care of senior dogs, aggressive dogs, and easy dogs. I have always been a dog person and love taking care of them! I will make sure your animals feel loved and safe when you are away. I am currently taking a break from a full time job to take care of my mom who recently had a minor stroke. My schedule is pretty open, and I will be able to work around taking care of her. I have a fenced yard for my dog. He is aggressive and pulls on walks but we are working on it and I am capable of making sure he still gets out for walks, I am in shape so this makes it possible for me to do. As far as in my clients home, I make sure to meet with them first before showing up to dog sit. I find this to be helpful. Of course this isn’t required but I am open to that. My main goal is to make sure the pets are feeling safe and happy when their owners are away. I take safety very seriously. Examples include making sure they don’t get into anything, and that they are secured both on walks and outside in the yard. I have never had a situation with dogs having to go to vet or getting out.
“Janet was amazing! We had her drop in to visit our cat and she always sent very detailed overviews of how the visits went. We had never left him for an extended time before and I could tell our cat enjoyed her visits - she sent the best pictures! Janet was very professional, trustworthy and easy to work with; I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Great job, Claudia, and what a thorough report! You paid great attention to my rambling directions, seemed to know just what to expect and kept an eye out for all I suggested to watch for.”
“This is our second time having Adriana take care of Caius and she has been so great. She always sends us pictures of him which makes us feel comfortable while we’re away. Caius is usually pretty reactive and needs some time warming up to people and it seems as though he really has with her. It speaks to how great she is with animals. Thanks Adriana! ❤️”
“Repeat client here(: my cat loves Collette! When she came to get the keys, my cat ran up to give her a big kiss 💋!! Collette is great with communication and she's just awesome with animals. Can't recommend her enough”
“Renee was great! Loved that she took the time beforehand to do a meet n greet. She even did an extra meet n greet because we booked so far in advance and it had been awhile. Attentive, kind, and her passion for animals is clear! Thank you 😊”
“Angel is fantastic! Great communication, always on time and left my house in better shape than I'd had it. Mabel loves spending time with her. Angel is a top notch sitter. 100% recommend without hesitation. Your pet will thrive under her care”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Addison
Meghan was very friendly and professional. They are knowledgeable and experienced and my dog felt comfortable with them right away. It was a comfort knowing they could administer oral meds confidently. I would definitely recommend Meghan’s services and book again.
I would highly recommend Jamie! She recently completed a drop in visit for our dog and cat- during the meet and greet my dog was completely OBSESSED with her and based on the updates I received, his love for Jamie was still strong! Jamie followed instructions and left our home in excellent condition. I would gladly use her services again ☺️
Klaudia is wonderful! She went above and beyond on her drop-in visit with our pup, bringing in packages from the front door and bringing in our trash bins without even being asked! We can't wait to have her staying with our girl next time we travel. Have a wonderful holiday and happy new year, Klaudia!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Addison on Rover is $17.12 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 13,227 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Addison. 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 Addison 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 Addison. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
