“Loved having Jennifer & Jonathan take care of our pets. They were so lovely when we met them and I know that my dogs were well looked after and loved while we were away! Can’t recommend them enough 🫶🫶🫶”
“Absolutely outstanding pet sitter full stop. She was proactive, highly communicative, and exceptionally attentive, especially with Cora, who requires a level of care that can honestly feel like a full-time operations role. She paid close attention to every detail, followed feedback immediately, and adjusted steps in real time, which allowed us to mitigate issues quickly and get Cora back on track fast. Her calm, thoughtful approach and grace under pressure made an inherently stressful situation feel completely manageable. Cora is now officially spoiled and may expect this level of white-glove service going forward but that’s a testament to how well she was cared for. I had total peace of mind knowing my pets were in such capable, compassionate hands. Would trust her again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone who wants gold-standard pet care.”
“Nick did a great job watching my dog! He was also able to accommodate when I needed to extend my sitting. He was super responsive, usually responding within minutes. My place was as clean as I left it and I got regular updates on my dog. Great sitter”
“Oline did a great job with Cookie! She kept her schedule which is much appreciated for my puppy. I also loved all the pictures sent and clear communication.”
“Hailey was great with our two dogs! She took amazing care of them while we were gone and sent tons of updates and photos. I would definitely trust her with my dogs again.”
“Matthew did a great job house sitting with our two great danes. He was attentive, had great communication and left the house in a great state when we returned. Matthew made sure the dogs got their walks in and was mindful of the heat which was perfect.”
“Vanessa did a great job taking care of our girls. She communicated well and made sure our dogs got lots of attention and play time. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs, so would definitely recommend.”
“Morgan was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our dogs and house and communicated daily with updates and photos of our pups. We already have plans to use Morgan again in the near future.”
“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! 🐾💕”
“This was my first experience with an in-house dog sitter, and I was initially skeptical about having someone stay at my home for an extended period. However, I was pleasantly surprised by Kathleen's excellent service. She kept me updated on the status of my dogs, and they adored her. Additionally, she maintained the house in great condition. I will definitely hire her again when my husband and I go on a long trip. I highly recommend Kathleen for in-home dog sitting.”
“Clover was an awesome cat whisperer, once again! When she came to get our key, Finn seemed to remember her-he came right out to greet her when he is often careful of guests. Our shy Raven demanded daily brushings! Clover sent us great pics every day of all 3 kittes and left our house neat and clean. We feel very blessed to have her watching our fur babies.”
“Very attentive to our dogs and respectful of our home. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs. Not much more we could ask for. Looking forward to having Tyler and Hannah come back again. Thank you for being so patient with Remus. We are so appreciative!”
“Jill is very reliable and has a great can-do attitude. We have two English toy spaniels, both with one eye and both with health problems. One of them has an "attitude" and can snip if asked to do something she doesn't want to do. Jill just called her "sassy" and worked hard to earn her trust. We feel like we can count on Jill. We highly recommend Jill.”
“Samantha was prompt, friendly, and has such a wonderful energy! With three dogs I was nervous, but she instantly put us at ease. She sent pictures from the stay and I would definitely book with her 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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Addison
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.
Oline was awesome and our pups loved her! We could tell by the many photos that were shared, which was something we enjoyed seeing throughout her stay with them! Would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies and will reach out to her again when we need some help in the future.
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!!!!🩷🩷🩷
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Addison on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,211 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.
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.
