“I can’t say enough great things about Tina! She stepped in at the last minute when our regular pet sitter canceled, and I was so close to canceling my trip. From the moment we met her, Tina made us feel at ease, fitting right into the family, and our pups absolutely adored her—they were unusually excited around her! We headed out of the country with total peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. Throughout the week, Tina went above and beyond. She sent regular updates and photos, showing how much fun our pups were having, and administered their many medications seamlessly. She made sure they got long walks and plenty of playtime in the sunshine every day. When we got home, the pups were totally worn out and happy, barely moving when we walked through the door (which was a surprise!). They even went looking for her in her room this morning! Not only did Tina take amazing care of our dogs, but she also went the extra mile around the house—running the dishwasher, unloading it, and even washing her bedding. She was such a lifesaver, and I wholeheartedly recommend her. We’ll definitely be calling her again!”
“My husband and I have been using Rover for a few years now and have found wonderful pet sitters. However Julia and Eric truly go above and beyond! They took wonderful care of our older dogs while we were away, and sent the best photos and videos. I’ve never felt so at ease knowing our dogs were in such good hands. Thank you Julia and Eric, we’ll for sure rebook in the future!”
“Ashley is truly amazing with Ares! She not only arrives on time, but immediately jumps into caring for him — taking him on multiple walks, heading to the dog park first in the morning, play time, and keeps up with his scheduled routine. She also sends me multiple videos and photos throughout the day with important updates. We absolutely love having her watch our puppy!🩵”
“Danielle is kind and reliable- she was absolutely wonderful with Ares! She followed all of his care instructions carefully, including keeping his activity level low while he recovered, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. She kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos. It was clear Ares had a good day while still getting the extra care and rest he needed.”
About: I’m a reliable, attentive pet sitter who treats every animal with patience and care. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their routines and giving them plenty of attention while you’re away. I’m also highly responsive and happy to send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands! I work as a nanny during the day on weekdays, so I’m usually available for pet care after about 5-6pm. On weekends I have much more flexibility and am available for boarding and extended care. I love staying active and spending time outside, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks and make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention. I focus on making sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while their family is away. For me, it’s a joy to care for pets so I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and any special needs so I can care for them in the way that works best for them!
“It was our first time using Rover, and we will definitely use it again, and will want Rebecca. She sent us pictures of the puppies and left a nice note on how they did. It use to be stressful trying to find someone to watch 3 dogs at our house, but not anymore. Rebecca rocks, and will be a permanent fixture when we leave for the night. Charlee, Daisy and Lincoln say thank you.”
“I have never left my dog with anyone other than family or friends so I was nervous using rover for my first time. I had a friend cancel for watching my dog Saint a DAY before a trip I had planned. I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do. I found Kierra and rover and gave it a shot. She accepted my booking the day before I left and I couldn’t be more thankful. Kierra exceeded my expectations x 100! My dog Saint loves her and when I came home he was happy and well taken care of. Kierra checked in with me and sent me photos during my time away which made me feel sooooo much better. I would 100% recommend her to anyone, and will be using her services anytime I go out of town again and can’t take my baby!”
“Giselle was the best, she stayed at my place for a day/night and it went amazing. She sent lots of pictures of my dog and followed all the instructions I left for her. Would highly recommend!”
“I highly recommend Jennifer. She is responsible, pleasant, articulate and was great with my dog, Willie. Willie is on daily medicine and a supplement. He also can be anxious about being left behind/alone. She took great care of him! She checked rather than assumed she knew what to do when something came up. I will be looking to have her as a house/dog sitter again.”
“Madeline was great with our babies! She was patient with our Pepper, who can be slow to warm up to new people. She sent photos everyday, which I loved! We'll be booking her again.”
“Charlotte was amazing! She provided daily updates and pictures of all of our pets. From our first meet and greet we could tell she clicked with all of them and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. 10/10 and will be booking with her again”
“This was the first time we used Rover and we are very pleased. Erin was fantastic. She was very responsible, and communicative and responded to our texts very quickly. She loves animals and immediately took to our dachshunds and they really liked her as well. The pups were great when we arrived home and our house looked like we never left. I would definitely use Erin again if need be and highly recommend her.”
“Becky was amazing! First and foremost she took amazing care of Ollie, he adored her!! She also was super great with communication. I got the cutest pics and videos of their time together, which was so appreciated. I would recommend Becky to anyone!!”
“Laura was excellent with our two dogs! She is pleasant, conscientious, genuinely cares about our dogs. They fell in love with her the first time they saw her! We will be using her in the future whenever we need someone. Thanks again Laura!”
“This is 2nd time with Carrie. She is an amazing with our two dogs: one is a older dog, the old a younger very high energy dog. The house is always in perfect condition. We LOVE HER 💕 Highly recommend!”
“Emma was great & looked after Ruby really well, kept me updated & was very flexible, was able to accommodate me when my flight was cancelled & stayed with Ruby, which put my mind at ease. Will definitely use Emma again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Morris Oak Ridge
Suzanne is hands down the best dog sitter and the nicest human ever! The way she cared for my dogs was far beyond what I expected. She sent me detailed texts about how their day went and sent me so many pictures of my babies. She made sure they were well taken care of and loved, which made my trip so much better. I didn’t have to worry about them for one second. She stayed with my dogs the whole time, and my dogs lovedddd her! I had a bad experience with my previous dog sitter from Rover, so I was very skeptical about whether I should use this app again. But because of Suzanne, I feel comfortable using Rover again. Suzanne will always be my first choice to sit my dogs. She was always on time for our meet and greets and she is so considerate and understanding. My house was left clean, and my dogs looked happy and well cared for. Thank you, Suzanne! You’re the best! ❤️
Jessica helped us out with a last minute request, asked a lot of good questions at the meet and greet, and took great care of our kitties. They liked her immediately and everyone was happy and healthy when we came home. She sent tons of cute photos and updates throughout the stay! She also took great care of our place and went above and beyond. Thanks again!

We can’t recommend Angela enough! We hired her in a pinch before a trip, and she was so accommodating and easy to work with. She took amazing care of our dogs, loved on them like they were her own, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We even came home to a house that was cleaner than when we left! She truly went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Morris Oak Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Morris Oak Ridge on Rover is $44.4 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 4,473 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Morris Oak Ridge. 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 Morris Oak Ridge 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 Morris Oak Ridge 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 Morris Oak Ridge 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Morris Oak Ridge. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
