About: I've taken care of dogs for about two 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 8 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, Thursday and Friday between the times of 10:30 AM-1 PM and 3:30-7 PM. Also, Saturdays I am free until 6 PM. 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.
“I’ve used Riley for our two fur-babies and love her!! Our babies stay overnight for a few days at a time while we travel and she communicates through out the day with messages. Pictures, and videos Definitely will continue using her services 💕”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Addison is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Addison
Oline was just phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for anything more. She followed our directions to a T and was very thorough. We got lots of updates and pictures, and she was very responsive to any communications. Punctual, kind, and patient. Our dogs are older and needed some daily medication, and that was no issue for her whatsoever. Our dogs could tell we were getting ready to leave and were a bit stressed about it, but once we left them in Oline's hands, they looked calm and relaxed. We had a lot of plants and gardens to water, and she did great and sent pictures so we could adjust watering because of the heat. We would definitely use her again.
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..
Danielle was extremely professional. First time using the Rover app and she made me feel much less anxious about leaving my dogs. She kept me updated with pictures and met with me 2x before the booking event. Honestly thankful to have her as a sitter for my two dogs.
Lindsay accepted a last minute booking as we just got our puppy on Sunday but had plans the following Saturday. Our 9week old puppy was well looked after and very happy in her company. I appreciate her feeding him, playing with him, and cleaning up after him! She provided a lot of pictures and updates. Definitely 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. 💖
Kim was fantastic! She took wonderful care of Phyllis and the house, stayed in touch and gave timely updates throughout the stay, and left our place cleaner than when she arrived! We're so happy we met her and would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone we know. She was great at the meet and greet too, asking the right questions to get to know Phyllis's needs and set up positive communication. We appreciate everything you've done and hope to be able to book with you again!
Roni was very punctual and kept in great contact throughout the weekend. He stayed at our house for two nights and walked our dog and kept great care of her as well as our home. Really nice, conscientious guy who is a seminary graduate with a real love and kindness for animals.
Rachel is the kindest, most compassionate sitter for my kitties. She spends valuable time, so that they don’t have separation anxiety while I’ve been away. Her communication skills are stellar!! Am always happy to receive photograph updates on their feeding schedule and mood. I would confidently say that Rachell is the most reliable and trustworthy sitter. 10/10
Ivanna was so sweet and beyond helpful staying with our dog and cat!! They are literally our babies and we were nervous to use someone to watch them over night but she totally made all of our worries go away and stayed in touch with us and sent us a ton of picture and texts updating us and it was literally the best experience and will be using her again for sure!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Addison
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Addison on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,281 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 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
