“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..!!”
“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!”
“Maria exceeded all of our expectations. She took videos and photos of our babies which helped our nerves tremendously. She’s so sweet and attentive with them, took everything we told her and doubled it. And on top of that, our babies adore her. Highly highly recommend her :)”
About: I grew up with 2 labs and a miniature dachshund, so I am I lover of all dogs big and small. I’ve been off Rover for a few years due to living in a strict pet free home. But great news, I am now a homeowner ready to love on some dogs before finding my forever bestie. Let me take care of your dog as if they were my own! I am a schedule coordinator at my current job so I have flexible hours. I typically work 9-3 and have open availability on weekends. I live in a safe, condo community with multiple parks nearby to take dogs on walks. Dogs are welcome to roam around my apartment while I’m gone if they’re potty trained and do not damage furniture. There are no other pets at home.
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.
“Vanessa was amazing with our pups. We could tell that they were very comfortable with her and love her. She sent us pictures and updates every day. And she left our house in great condition. We would love to have her back.”
“Ashley was wonderful with Biscuit! She took great care of him while I was out for the evening and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was reliable, communicative, and very kind. I would definitely book with her again. Thank you, Ashley! 🐾💕”
“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!!!!🩷🩷🩷”
“Lydia did an amazing job watching over our pups and home while we were gone. She was very attentive and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She communicated with us each day and was prompt and professional. We can’t say enough good things about her and we hope she’ll continue to be available in the future. Thanks Lydia!”
“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 💕”
“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!”
“John was able to watch our 3 cats on short notice. He followed complex feeding instructions to make sure that our cat with behavioral issues was fed on a regular schedule in a variety of special feeders. He was also very responsive and a pleasure to work with.”
About: I truly love animals 🐾 I’ve spent 12 years caring for pets — feeding, walking, grooming, and everything in between. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, including a sweet tripod girl who hopped around better than some dogs with all four legs, a loyal gentle giant German Shepherd, and currently an energetic lab/Great Pyrenees mix who keeps me active and on my toes. Friends jokingly call me the “animal whisperer” — even shy, nervous, or standoffish animals tend to warm right up to me. I also have deep experience with cats, so if you’ve got both dogs and cats, I’ve got you covered. I keep a flexible schedule outside of a part-time job, which leaves plenty of time for walks, feeding, and check-ins. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your pet's routine. I don’t offer boarding, but I’m happy to provide walks and drop-in visits at your home. I’m attentive to safety details like secure leashing, checking food and water, and following any specific instructions you leave for meds, routines, or quirks. Your pet’s space and routine are treated with care and respect.
“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!”
“Our pets were well taken care of during our five day trip!! We got back very late due to a flight delay but the fur babies seemed happy and nobody pooped or peed in the house!”
“Amanda was great with our boy! He is 15 years old so I'm always a little worried leaving him but everything seemed to go quite smoothly. Amanda gave me updates as needed and I would definitely have her sit again!”
“Amalia was with my cat/dog for over a week inside my home and I never had any doubts they were cared for!! 💕 I received frequent updates every day with pictures! My dog is extremely anxious and can be difficult to feed and she was patient and even got him to eat! I will definitely be reaching out in the future for any more sitting needs! 💕 more vacations here I come! Thanks again I really appreciate you!”
“Candace was great with our 3 dogs and I would definitely recommend her. She is very trustworthy and kept us up to date on everything while we were gone. We will gladly book her again!”
About: Dogs are like tacos in my house--everyone loves them! I have had at least one dog in my house for the past 25 years, puppies, small one and large labs! 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!
“Ashley was so great with our crew. She kept in contact with us every day while we were gone with pictures, videos, and updates on how everyone was doing. Our nervous and timid dog who doesn’t open up for everyone almost immediately opened up for her and was being his goofy self. She went above and beyond anything I could have asked for. 🥰🥰”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Addison
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!
What a fun weekend for Clyde getting to spend it with Kass! She sent lots of pics and photos and kept us up to date on our little man. She puts us at ease when he’s with her! Will definitely have Kass come stay with him again. Our place was left spotless and our little man was in great hands! Thank you Kass!
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.
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 October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 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 October 2026, there are 4,995 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
