“Diana was amazing! She went above and beyond with house sitting and taking care of my pups. She even took them for walks. Diana is mature and very professional. I highly recommend Diana..!!”
“Oline is the best!!! Our dogs love her, get lots of attention and love and we get all the pictures we need as needy parents. She goes above and beyond!! Highly recommend.”
“Jess was amazing with our dogs and home! I appreciated that I could be away and not be concerned because she was taking care of them. She was kind, understanding, a great communicator, and would recommend Jess for everyone!”
“Jennifer was great with our older dog. Our dog can be prickly, but each day she warmed up more and more to Jennifer. By the the time we got home I was worried about whether she was going to miss Jennifer! I highly recommend Jennifer and will use her again without hesitation.”
“Rachel was so sweet with our new dog! She even took her out in the rain several times to avoid accidents. She was on time, cleaned up after herself and our pup, and didn’t rush out at the end of a long stay. I highly recommend Rachel!”
“Here’s a Rover-optimized version — concise, warm, and personal, perfect for their review format: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Sitter! Rezvan did an outstanding job taking care of my dog, Medjai, and my home while I was away. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly treated Medjai like her own. I came back to a happy, relaxed pup and a spotless house — she even went above and beyond to prepare everything for my return. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I’ll definitely be booking Rezvan again!”
“Yumika is an excellent dogsitter! She stayed with my two doodle dogs while I was traveling. Her communication daily with photos kept me updated and assured. I came home to two tired and happy pups and she left my home immaculate. I highly recommend Yumika and have already referred her to my neighbors!”
“Ryan is really great with my dog, Finn. He takes him for rides and plays with him… he also cuddles with him on the sofa. I get frequent updates from Ryan as well. Ryan also left my home in tip-top shape. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsey has sat for my pup twice now and has been wonderful all around. She has no problem staying over night at my house and my dog just adores her. She sends friendly updates and is quick to respond. I will continue to book her as long as she is willing!”
About: I currently work at an animal shelter and have over two years of professional experience in animal care. I am highly attention to each animal that I oversee and I care deeply for all of them. I monitor them for an medical or behavioral issues and am highly attention to every animals specific needs. I have worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. Personally, I have had dogs and cats all my life. I have taken care of all of them, walking, training, bathing, medicating them as needed. I have also pet sit for friends and family in the past both dogs and cats. I will make sure you pet is given the highest quality treatment which is exactly what they deserve! Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday I have availability in the late afternoon as I work these days. Wednesday-Friday and Sunday I am available all day! I will care for your dog or cat within your home with whatever treats and toys are provided. For dogs, I always have a water bowl and a water bottle on walks as well as treats. If you have a yard, I can take your dog outside to play, and if not then I can entertain your pet inside.
“Amazing sitter! Took my request last minute and became very close with my rather shy cat in a short time. I was so worried this was my first time getting a sitter but it went super smoothly my kittie was super happy and loved and Mackenzi was comfortable with me checking in periodically on my cat cam which made me feel much more safe we also met beforehand which brought some comfort as well. Will 100% use her as my only sitter in the future. :)”
“Victoria is an incredible pet sitter! She arrived 5 minutes early to take care of our puppy Shiloh. She sent multiple updates, pictures, and played the last hour with him even after my girlfriend got home so she could go upstairs and change. Can't say enough how professional she is and a great listener to the smallest details that really ensured Shiloh was taken care of as best as possible. We'll definitely be using Victoria again to care for Shiloh as she went above and beyond providing exceptional service!!”
“Ivanna filled in for us in a last minute care situation. She was accomodating of our schedules and found the time to meet with us. My dogs were very well taken care of. The pictures and videos she sent showed me how much they liked her. She was on time and responsible with our home. It shows from the dog's reactions how experienced she is with animals. We will definitely be working with her again.”
“Jenny took such good care of our two cats. She sent frequent pictures and videos of them each day. It was evident that she wanted to bond with the cats during the week she took care of them. I highly recommend Jenny as a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Kimberly was awesome ! The only problem we had was that she SPOILED our dog rotten. Based on photos she sent us, our puppy PETE had more fun with Kimberly than he does with us. Thank you again Kimberly for being so gracious and kind to our four-legged child. We look forward to having you back in the near future.”
“Our dog recently became a tripod due to bone cancer and we had to leave her for the entire day due to an event, so we were anxious about leaving her alone until we found Jonitha. She helped us feel calm and reassured that our baby was in good hands. She was attentive and kept us updated and our dog was happy and well taken care of care of while we were gone. I would definitely recommend her especially if you have a disabled dog.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for about four years now. I first started when my roommate left for Korea for about a month. I've always had an affinity towards dogs so taking care of his dog made me want to take care of other dogs as well. Ever since then, I've been able to take care of 18 other dogs. Whether it be playing with your pets or walking them around or going potty, I have everything covered! I have time to take care of your pets on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday between the times of 11:30 AM to midnight. Also, Saturdays I am free whenever. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. Whether in my home or the client’s home, I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and lots of attention. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Addison is $50

Luci loves Jon and Jennifer! Jon is her main caregiver, since we live close to his work. They do such a great job at keeping her safe and happy! We get updates for Luci and don’t have to worry about her when we leave. (OK, we still worry, but it isn’t necessary!). Luci gets plenty of enrichment time and playtime. Always happy to have them care for Luci!
Ashley is a phenomenal pet sitter! She stayed at our house for just under a week and watched our four animals (2 cats, 2 dogs), and she went above and beyond in making sure our animals were well taken care of. To start, three days before we were supposed to leave for our wedding, our dog tore her CCL/ACL. Not only did Ashley make sure Sadie didn’t reinjure herself while we were gone, but she also gave her her pain medication and even set up a grass pad on our deck (so Sadie wouldn’t have to hobble down our deck stairs to use the bathroom). PLUS, Sadie started developing stomach issues while we were gone and had multiple accidents in the house (which she never does). We DoorDashed some rice and chicken to the house and Ashley started feeding Sadie the modified diet to help with her stomach. I could not recommend Ashley enough! I completely trust her with our animals and always know they’re in good hands with her. She also sends us a lot of photo updates which I appreciate!
If you get the opportunity to find Lindsay available for a booking, make the reservation asap. Trust the ratings and reviews. I can’t recommend Lindsay enough. She is responsive, reliable, accommodating and goes above and beyond. At the end of our booking she left our home cleaner than it was, gave our dog a bone and turned on a show for him to keep him occupied until we came home. Lindsay is welcome in our home anytime.
Vanessa is amazing. She came to me on really short notice and understood exactly how to take care of my dog. She was punctual, fed him exactly on time, took great care of him, and left my house exactly how I left it. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you Vanessa!
Lindsey was amazing! I came back to a clean home and the dogs were very well taken care of. I could not recommend Lindsey more. As I was away, Lindsey stayed connected with me and provided regular updates and pictures. I will definitely be booking Lindsey in the future!
Alexandra has stayed with our 2 adult cats several times, and she always does a great job caring for them and our home. She always sends lots of pics and updates, and she is always easy to reach. Leaving our cats and home is Alexandra’s hands is a worry-free experience!
Amazing sitter! Took my request last minute and became very close with my rather shy cat in a short time. I was so worried this was my first time getting a sitter but it went super smoothly my kittie was super happy and loved and Mackenzi was comfortable with me checking in periodically on my cat cam which made me feel much more safe we also met beforehand which brought some comfort as well. Will 100% use her as my only sitter in the future. :)
Ingrid was an absolute gem taking care of my puppy Arya! She went above and beyond, even taking Arya out for walks and sending regular photo updates throughout the day, which put my mind completely at ease. She’s warm, friendly, and clearly loves what she does. Arya was well cared for and happy the whole time. I’d recommend Ingrid to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely treats your pup like family.
Amy is the best. She took the best care of our furr baby for a week. She is a great communicator and gave us daily updates and at least 25-30 pics. We will definitely use her again and she will be our go to dog sitter. She stayed in our home and was such a great guest. I would recommend her to everyone!!!!🩷🩷🩷

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
