“They were GREAT!! One of of dogs ended up being very nervous and scared, and Jonathan took his time and gave her the space she needed to feel comfortable. This was our first time using Rover, and we will definitely use them again (if they’ll have us!). Thank you Jennifer and Jonathan!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life as I have grown up with them. I love animals and enjoy getting to know their personality. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and keep owners updated with lots of photos. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind while away. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so it's an easy and rewarding part of my weekly routine. I intentionally leave flexibility in my schedule to accommodate visits, walks, and quality time with the pets I care for. I am going to college in late August and will not be available to sit past then. By making sure all their needs are met and doing everything the owner asks me to do. I do my best to maintain the pets normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.
“Rezvan always takes excellent care of Abby! I never have to worry about my pup being sad when I’m gone because I know she gets the same level of care that I would give her. I appreciate the frequent updates and pictures that Rezvan always sends. I highly recommend!”

“Jenny was great when she watched my cats. She communicated with me the whole time and sent cute pics. I am really appreciative that Jenny was there to watch my cats!! Definitely would book again with Jenny!”
“Lindsay was beyond awesome with my household of animals! She was patient with my crazy puppy and calmed my fears at leaving him with her frequent updates and pictures. Can’t wait to have her pet sit again for us!”
“Megan was awesome with my dog this weekend! She was available so last minute and helped us so much. We received so many pictures and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Megan! I will definitely use her services again in the future!”

Casey kept us informed on a regular basis with texts & pictures. We will certainly use Casu again in the future. We know that Max & Moose will be happy to see her again.”

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!
Danielle took excellent care of our crew while we were out of town for a week. We could tell she’s a thoughtful and proactive house sitter from our meet & greets, and felt completely comfortable leaving our six animals with her. She even vacuumed the entire house before she left, which was a wonderful welcome home for us!
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!!
Vanessa was a wonderful companion for my baby Livy while I was out of town. She stayed in my home with my girl & provided the love, safety & security we needed. Livy absolutely loved her. Livy even slept in bed with her the first night while I was still home! I'd never left Livy with anyone but family previously. I didn't worry about my baby or my house. I won't hesitate to ask Vanessa again to watch my girl. I will happily recommend Vanessa for anyone needing her services.
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!
Amy was very responsive to our three dogs and did a great job caring for them the week we were gone. She was neat and kept our place tidy although it rained most of the week and the dogs usually bring in tracks (but none to see when we got home). She was very good with all three dogs, including our older fluff puff that required medication, and left detailed documentation of the details of their walks and bathroom breaks. We would call on Amy again when we travel.
My wee "kitten" is 15 years old, grouchy, and isn't always the best about making it to the litter box, but Alicia always takes fantastic care of her and is extremely patient with all of her issues. She's also great with my great pyr and having both creatures to look after, but he came with me this trip.
Erin was so patient and let Bonnie warm up to her. I know Bonnie was well taken care of and was Erin’s best friend by the end of the stay. Erin took great notes during our meet up and completed everything asked. I didn’t realize but I’m used to more updates throughout the day, but Erin updated at least once a day which I was grateful for! We will definitely be using Erin again!

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.

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.
