Don't do it. If they don't pay you more for it it isn't work.
It depends on your relationship with your manager/company but gotta do it sometimes. It's a give and take. 
There have been plenty of days i was supposed to work and I stayed home..with pay... no PTO used. So if one day they need me to take over an issue/outage for the oncall person i have no problem with it. I'll probably take a comp day for it anyway. That was at my old job where we had X amount of PTO and shyt.
My current job we get unlimited PTO and I must say while i dont abuse it, i do use it and work from home often. Almost once a week and sometimes twice. I cant front there have been days when i worked from home and didnt have a whole lot to do or caught up on all my work so i spent the whole day either in bed or out and about chilling. I just keep my work phone on and logged in on Skype in case something came up.
So a job like that if they call me on my day off and be like "yo we have an issue and so&so isnt available. Can you take care of this?" I have no problem doing it. We molk the cow but gotta feed it to keep it alive sometimes.

If coming in to work on a day off equals to making some extra money. I'LL BE THERE.
Who doesn't love making money? Especially more of it.

Depends on who you're working with. When I worked with uptight whiteys, I made sure to work on work hours and never answer my phone on off hours.
My job before that was pretty relaxed and chill so I was cool with it.

At my current job, I told them if they ever need to call me, call me at my office. 
I have had other jobs where I was willing to work when I wasnt supposed to because of how ingratiated I was into the company, how it would benefit me with preferential treatment and upward mobility, and that I probably wasnt doing shyt anyway. If I didnt have those things checked off, I wouldnt have done and theyd be in the same boat as my current employer who cant even call me on my cellphone. I had a dude die at my current job and they didnt even try to call me cause they knew I wasnt gonna answer.

My position is too important to the company to be like that. If they need me on my day off, then it is probably a real emergency.
Excuse me sir could you uh come in today?
Me:
What happened?
The whole system is down.
Me:Did you try reaching out to IT? I'm not technical support.
Yes, they said it's an issue with the IP address and they don't have rights to yadda yadda.
Me:
fine fine, i'm on my way. this better not be a case of someone forgetting to pay a damn bill.

If it means overtime pay ok, but you can usually work with your employer and have them give you another day off paid. You can usually work these things to your advantage if you have a good enough relationship with your employer.
