“Josh was very respectful of my house and treated my dog with excellent care. She was happy and healthy when I got home and house was clean with shades pulled for the predicted hot day. Even my neighbors commented on how well my dog was being cared for. Cece now has a new buddy as I would definitely call Josh again should I need a sitter.”
“Amazing team. We were able to leave our two dogs for a week vacation and felt comfortable that they were in good hands. Our dogs need medications, so having a reliable sitter is important. We are repeat customers! Thank you J and J!”
“Victoria did an absolutely wonderful job caring for my girl, Cora! It’s such a relief to be able to travel with peace of mind, knowing she’s in loving and capable hands. Cora has some special medical needs, and Victoria went above and beyond by being willing to learn how to administer her fluids and accommodate her care routine. That level of attentiveness and flexibility means so much to me and makes traveling significantly less stressful. Victoria is kind, dependable, and truly a joy to work with. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my girl and will absolutely continue booking her for future stays. Highly recommend!”
“Hannah did SUCH a great job! I had construction going on plus my 2 dogs and 4 cats and she managed it all the week we were gone on vacation! Communicated great, got pictures, and would absolutely use her services again. She’s a pro with the animals and house sitting! You are in amazing hands with Hannah. 💖”
“Jill is truly an angel from heaven. I could not have felt more comfortable knowing my little kitties were well taken care of. It worked magically. I highly recommend her. I was gone for 8 days.”
“You will not regret hiring J! She goes above and beyond and cares so much for our pup. We love how kind, comfortable, and professional she is. We did not worry a minute while we were away. Thanks, J!!”
“Ariana was wonderful! She helped us out last minute when our previous dog sitter cancelled with less than a week notice. Ariana quickly responded to the call for help and came the next day for a meet and greet. She was extremely professional and took the time to ask detailed questions to help her get to know our pups and their routines. During her stay, she kept us informed with multiple updates each day. She had the patience for our one pup who is anxious while we are away and fearful of new people. When we arrived home from our trip, both of our dogs were happy and well cared for! Additionally, the house was well kept and very clean upon return! I appreciated that she took the extra mile to wash the guest room sheets and towels following her stay. We will definitely work with Ariana again and recommend her!”
“Lydia was fantastic. The dogs loved her and she provided constant updates during our trip. Our home was in the same cleanliness as we left it. Which was surprising since we have a few rain storms and our dogs muddied up the floors. Lydia is wonderful and we will rebook her again. I have referred her to a friend who has used her three times already.”
“Having Ashley as our sitter was the perfect decision! We were able to enjoy our honeymoon knowing that we’d get pictures of our dogs walking, playing, or just relaxing twice a day! She was very caring, professional, and kept me well informed—especially about my dog that sometimes skips meals. Definitely would rebook with Ashley :)”
“Katrina was outstanding !!! Sent updates and left a very detailed log of everything that happened while she was with Tuck. The house was spotless clean and tuck was very happy. Highly recommend !!”

I consider it a privilege to be asked to care for your family member in your home. I am better equipped to care for smaller dogs and/or cats as I am a shortie! I look forward to getting to know your pet soon! With a week's notice I can be at your home, caring for your pet. I can stay overnight, or can come daily to care for your cat and or small dog.

When you hire me, your pet and home are my #1 priority. You can reach me 24X7 so you can be away without worries.
“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!”
“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.”
“Hailey was so good with both of our fur babies. She sent daily picture updates as well as any other updates that were needed. I know both our girls were happy to spend the weekend with her! She's great with both cats and dogs, and takes great care of the house. Even offered to stay longer when we thought we were going to have major flight delays.”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have a dog and other pets of my own, giving me lifelong experience caring for animals. I have also pet sat for neighbors and other members of my community, providing reliable and attentive care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large breeds, and can adapt to each pet's unique personality and routine. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My experience as both a pet owner and pet sitter helps me ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I currently work a part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide quality care for pets. I am able to fit pet care into my daily routine by scheduling walks, feeding times, play sessions, and check-ins throughout the day. I am committed to making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. My flexible availability allows me to adapt to different pets' routines and care requirements. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while maintaining a clean and safe environment. I also enjoy keeping owners updated while they are away by sending photos and updates of their wonderful pets throughout their trip. I know how reassuring it can be to see that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I always treat both pets and clients' homes with respect and care, so owners can have peace of mind while they're away.

I have had dogs in my life since I was small. I am home based for work, and always have been, and have flexibility for our furry friends. I am in a great area, complete with large dog park, lots of love, and a friend to play with...I love a good game of fetch, and your furry friend will always be in their happy place with me! My current pup is a black ten year old Labrador named Stella who is beyond friendly and is on me to get her some new friends! Call us! I am recently retired and have time for your pup! I am retired and have a very flexible schedule! I tend to spend alot of time outside, hiking, walking, etc. Our days are very full! We have plenty of green space, parks in neighborhood and golf courses, and several trails close by, within walking distance . We are out daily for long walks!
“I couldn’t be more pleased. My Ava was content and perfect when we came home. Our home was tidy and just as we left it. I got regular communication, updates and pictures. I couldn’t be more grateful.”
“Maria is truly one of the best people we have had for petsitting. She was always on time, took excellent care of our puppy so much so that he did not seem to miss us, and left our home very clean when she left. Thank you so much! We would not hesitate to hire her again..”
“Ryan was awesome and our dogs loved the weekend with him! Super accommodating, attentive, and communicative. Would definitely book Ryan again! Jude and Oakley can't wait!”
“Alexandra was great! She sent daily updates and pictures of my dog and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was in safe hands and being well taken care of. I will definitely use Alexandra in the future and would recommend her to care for your pets!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Addison
I’m so glad I had Roni watch Benji while I was away! He was incredibly respectful, easy to communicate with, and kept me updated the entire trip. I really appreciated how thoughtful and responsive he was, and it gave me peace of mind knowing Benji was being well taken care of. I’d absolutely trust Roni with Benji again and would highly recommend him!
We cannot recommend Johnita enough! She was absolutely amazing with our dog, Enzo, and we are so grateful to have found her. A little backstory: Enzo had his leg broken by someone when he was just 6 months and he had to spend almost three months in a crate recovering from surgery. Unfortunately, this left him with some fear-based aggression and made him distrustful of new people, so we’ve always been nervous about leaving him with someone else. But from the very first time Johnita met Enzo, we could tell she was different. It was immediately clear that she had experience with dogs and truly understood how to approach a dog who needs a little extra patience and understanding. She knew exactly how to interact with him without making him feel uncomfortable or threatened, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even took the time to do two meet-and-greets before staying with him for 10 days, making sure he had a chance to get comfortable with her. To add to our worries, just three days before we left, Enzo had to start taking antibiotics. This was another thing we were nervous about, but Johnita handled it wonderfully! She made sure he got his medication as needed, and it was such a relief knowing he was in such capable hands. Throughout her stay, she took amazing care of Enzo, took him on walks, and was incredibly responsive to every single text we sent. For us, trusting someone with Enzo is a really big deal, and Johnita exceeded all our expectations. If she can do such an amazing job with a dog like Enzo, who is naturally cautious of strangers and can show some fear aggression at first, we truly believe she would be wonderful with any dog. We would 100% recommend Johnita to anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will absolutely trust her with Enzo again!
Victoria was wonderful. She took great care of our kitty, followed all care instructions perfectly, and left the house spotless. She provided updates and lots of pictures each day and our kitty seemed very comfortable and happy with her. I will definitely use her services again.
Rezvan is absolutely wonderful! She takes such great care of my dog, Medjai, and always puts his best interests first. Whenever I'm traveling, she sends plenty of photos and updates, which gives me complete peace of mind and helps me relax knowing he's in such good hands. What really sets Rezvan apart is how much she genuinely cares. When my flight was canceled, she didn't hesitate to stay an extra night to make sure Medjai was cared for until I got home. That level of dedication means so much. Rezvan is truly a sweet soul, and it's clear how much she loves animals. Medjai adores her, and he's always happy and comfortable in her care. I wholeheartedly recommend Rezvan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter. We are so grateful to have found her!
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Addison is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $89 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,856 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Addison. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
