Looking for a trusted pet sitter in Addison?
Addison may be one of the smallest cities in North Texas — just 4.4 square miles — but it has one of the highest concentrations of pet-loving residents anywhere in DFW. Between the walkable apartment and condo communities around Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park, the restaurant-lined streets where dogs are practically guests of honor, and the families tucked into the quieter residential pockets off Arapaho and Belt Line, this is a town that takes its animals seriously.
DFW Pet Sitting has been caring for Addison pets since 2003. Over two decades, we have met thousands of animals here — nervous rescue dogs adjusting to new homes, senior cats with medication schedules, apartment pups who have never known a yard. Every one of them gets a W-2 employee who lives nearby, shows up on time, and is the same person every visit.
What we offer in Addison
Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting — Whether you are flying out of Love Field or DFW, your assigned sitter keeps feeding, meds, walks, and play on your pets’ usual home schedule. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small caged animals. No kennel drop-off.
Daily Dog Walking — Midday walks for Addison professionals in the apartments and condos near Addison Circle, Vitruvian Park, and Belt Line. Same walker, same window — not whoever taps an app. Addison Circle Park and the Vitruvian lake paths are the usual loops when your dog needs more than a hallway.
Cat Sitting — Litter, portioned feeding, play, and medication in the house. See how a 25-minute Addison cat visit works.
Short-Notice & Holiday Coverage — Sitters live near the Addison homes they visit, so a last-minute request before a Love Field flight or a Restaurant Row weekend is often possible. Thanksgiving and Christmas fill first. Call if you already have travel dates.
House Sitting & Home Checks — Mail and porch packages (Addison Circle and Restaurant Row deliveries add up), lights, bins, plants, and a walk-through. Most Addison clients add this onto pet visits rather than booking it alone.
What Makes Us Different From Rover and Wag
Addison Circle key fobs and Vitruvian concierge desks are not a job for a stranger with a profile. You are hiring a managed W-2 employee of a company that has sat pets here since 2003. Side by side:
| Rover / Wag | DFW Pet Sitting | |
|---|---|---|
| Who enters your home | A different contractor each time you book | One assigned sitter — the same person, every visit |
| Who they work for | Independent gig contractor | W-2 employee: background-checked, trained, supervised |
| If something goes wrong | Platform “guarantee” with exclusions | Commercial liability insurance and bonding |
| If your sitter cancels | You re-book and hope | Manager activates backup from 250+ DFW staff |
| Oversight | Nothing between you and the sitter | Every visit tracked by a manager in real time |
| Before your first visit | Optional chat, often skipped | Free in-person meet-and-greet, always |
Cat sitting in Addison
Addison cats do better at home than in a carrier to a kennel — especially in a Circle or Vitruvian condo. A visit is 25 minutes: fresh water, food the way you portion it, a scooped box, play, and a look at how your cat is actually doing. You get a photo.
Sitters handle pills, insulin, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and inhalers. If a cat hides in an Addison Circle high-rise or a Belt Line townhome they have never fully mapped, they sit on the floor and wait. They do not leave without seeing the cat.
Once a day is the minimum for a healthy adult. Kittens, seniors, and medical cats need two. We will not leave a pile of food and a full box over a long holiday weekend.
Your Home’s Security Is Our Priority
Addison notices marked vans, and Restaurant Row already draws enough traffic. Our sitters do not wear branded uniforms or drive wrapped cars, and we do not plant a yard sign that says you are gone.
Your sitter looks like a neighbor or family member stopping by — which is the point in an Addison Circle high-rise, a Vitruvian condo, or a quiet pocket off Arapaho. Gate codes, key fobs, and concierge check-ins stay with the one assigned person. We want the house to look lived-in, not advertised.
Discretion isn’t a perk. It’s standard.
Meet our sitters
You meet your assigned Addison-area sitter in your home before the first paid visit. They are a W-2 employee, not a rotating contractor. Ashley and Laura in the office handle scheduling. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs a backup sitter from our 250+ staff. No photos on this page — you meet them in person.
Ivanna Torres
Serves Addison and North Dallas, including Willowbend. A professional dancer and self-described animal lover, Ivanna joined because, as she puts it, “just the idea of getting to spend time with a lot of different fur babies as a job was so appealing.” She knows NorthBark Dog Park and White Rock Lake. At home she has a hairless Sphynx cat who waits by the door every evening to have a standoff with her husband. (The cat always wins.)
David Balog
Covers the Addison, Prestonwood, and North Dallas corridor. David and his wife have adopted six rescue dogs, and his approach is simple: treat every animal like it is your own. His most memorable client was Copper — a rescue from an abusive background who, over months of patient care, went from fearful to a joyful, trusting companion. David kept the family updated and showed up without fail. Read David’s full story.
What clients say
Addison families review us on the same Google listing as the rest of DFW — 4.9 stars from 500+ reviews. That is the company listing, not an Addison storefront. We do not have an Addison office. Read the reviews, then meet your sitter in person.
“DFW Pet Sitting has been taking care of our dogs for over 8 years. Our sitter has become part of our family. The peace of mind knowing a local professional is with our pups — not a stranger from an app — is priceless.”
— Sarah M., Addison Circle resident
“We have two senior dogs on medication schedules. Our DFW Pet Sitting sitter administers their medications flawlessly every single day. She lives 2 miles from our condo and we have had the same person for 4 years. Zero issues.”
— James & Linda T., Vitruvian Park resident
“I was skeptical of pet sitting services after a bad experience with Rover. DFW Pet Sitting is completely different — professional, responsive, and the same sitter every time. Our dog actually gets excited when she arrives.”
— Rachel K., Addison, TX

Addison’s best spots for pet owners
Addison Circle Park — The heart of Addison. Spacious, well-maintained, and host to many community events — most of them pet-friendly. Our dog walkers log serious miles here.
Vitruvian Park — Wide paved pathways around the lake, spectacular during the Vitruvian Lights holiday display. One of our team’s favorite daily walking routes, year-round.
NorthBark Dog Park — A short drive north into Dallas. 22 acres off-leash, separate large- and small-dog areas, agility equipment, a dog beach, and showers. Ivanna calls it “an amazing space where the babies can refresh and have fun.”
Pet-friendly dining on Restaurant Row — Addison has more restaurants per square mile than almost anywhere in the U.S. Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar and Mucky Duck are favorites where your pup is welcome on the patio with water bowls and treats.
Pet Supplies Plus — Local go-to for food, supplies, grooming, and community events.

FAQs
I live in a condo or apartment in Addison. Can your sitters handle building access?
Yes. Many of our Addison clients live in apartment and condo buildings near Addison Circle and Vitruvian Park. At the free meet-and-greet you walk your assigned sitter through building codes, key fobs, concierge check-ins, and elevator access. That information stays with that one employee. If a backup sitter is ever needed, we call you first.
Do you have an Addison office I can walk into?
No. Addison is a city we serve, not a storefront. There is no Addison street address, no lobby, and no map pin for a branch. Your assigned sitter comes to your home at Addison Circle, Vitruvian Park, or wherever you live in 75001. Phones are answered 6:00am–11:00pm Central. A manager is on call 24/7 if a visit needs backup.
Can you give my pet medication?
Yes. Addison sitters handle oral meds, insulin, sub-q fluids, eye drops, and inhalers. You go over the routine in person at the meet-and-greet so the person who shows up already knows the cabinet, the fridge, and the cat who hides in a Circle spare bedroom or a Belt Line townhome.
