“I genuinely cannot say enough good things. From the moment I booked, I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in her care. She were incredibly kind, communicative, attentive, and clearly treated her like she was their own. I got regular updates and photos, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was happy, safe, and being loved on while I was away.”
“I needed a sitter for my dog last minute and Christian came through for us! Very communicative and took excellent care of my pup. Will definitely use again!”
“Celeste's communication while we were away was fantastic! It felt like she really understood how important our pets are to us and kept us updated to date! We came home to happy pets and a clean house.”
“Keyla was wonderful with my golden retriever Freja. She let me know when she was there and took pictures to show how happy Freja was with her. When I got home Freja was happy as can be and not stressed that I had been gone for the weekend.”
“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.”
“Amanda took the worry out of leaving my puppy (I mean, my 60# bundle of joy) for a weekend away with my family. She patiently listened to dozens of my details about Schatzee's schedules, habits, likes, dislikes, foibles, our neighborhood, and on and on. Amanda didn't miss a beat! She's detailed, professional, and super-nice! I recommend Amanda.”
“Rebecca did great with our 3 pets on short notice. Even with our little guy who doesn't warm up to people easily and can be a bit rude! Our house was clean and just how we left it.”
“Other than our miscommunication about the arrival time (it was our first time having Ryan stay with the kids) he took great care of our Big Easy & Winnie! Thank you 🩵”
“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!”
“Katherine did it again! She was a house and puppy sitter for an entire week and was amazing. This is my second time using her service with zero complaints. She will always be my first option.”
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and more than 5 years rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming street dogs, I bring a unique combination of compassion, skill, and reliability. I currently volunteer at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center, where I work hands-on with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive, safe, and loving care tailored to each dog’s needs. Your pet will be treated like family—because caring for animals is not just something I do, it’s who I am. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work in delivery, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to be available at almost any time of the day. I do prefer morning appointments, but I’m always willing to adjust to meet each pet’s needs and ensure they receive the best care possible. In my home, pets enjoy a spacious and secure backyard where they can relax and play comfortably. They sleep inside the house with all the care and comforts they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I adapt to the services they request — whether it’s stopping by once or twice a day for feeding and walks, or staying overnight to ensure their pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for.
“My intuition regarding Amy was spot on! She was wonderful; loving, caring and attentive to needs of my pets as well as mine. I was able to travel and enjoy my trip thanks to Amy. All was good while I was away, and at home when I arrived. I will CERTAINLY be hiring her again. Do not think twice in hiring her!!! Thank you Amy for EVERYTHING ?”
“Beth was fantastic. As a mom who hates to leave her pup, I was very nervous leaving our dog for 10 days. Beth gave us several updates to ease our minds and was super responsive to our questions. She walked him often and gave an update after each time. She is professional and responsible and followed our normal routine. She even helped us put medication on a cut our boy had on his belly and he healed right up with her care. When we returned home, the house was left as if she wasn’t even there-clean, sheets washed and all picked up. I would highly recommend Beth to watch your pet! There are few I trust…Beth is one I absolutely do! She takes pride in doing the job RIGHT and well. Thanks Beth!”
“It was such a GREAT decision to use Abigail to look after our three dogs and two cats in our home while we were out of the country on vacation. We contacted and booked her very last minute and Abigail was totally fine with it! She went above and beyond and walked all of the dogs, went to the store when they ran out of treats without us even having to ask, was home most of the day with them to give them lots of attention and love. Her communication was 10/10. She sent us photos multiple times a day, brought our mail and boxes in, let us know if food was low etc. All of our dogs and cats loved her. We will definitely be booking Abigail again.”
“We are so happy that Giselle sat for us while we were away at our wedding! She was wonderful with our dogs (who are very high energy), and we were able to relax on the trip knowing that she was holding down the fort. When we returned home, the house was in perfect shape! We will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to take care of our boys!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Morris Oak Ridge
Our Priya loves Shawnna and she cannot wait to see her every time we travel. Shawnna is extremely caring and responsive. She takes our girl on long walks, plays with her in the park and gives her so much love. She also takes care of the pawrents as well. She maintains us informed always, she’s very accommodating and sweet. We love having her as Priya’s caretaker when we go out of town or on trips. You can tell Priya loves her too very much!
Jesse took amazing care of James while I was away and also took very good care of my apartment as well. She was super responsive and constantly gave me updates on how my child was doing. I would 100% book her again and recommend everyone who is looking for pet care to book her as well!
Eric was absolutely incredible. We have 4 dogs and he made sure to treat all of them equally and spend time with each of them equally. We received multiple photos and videos throughout his stay with our babies and his communication was great. Upon arriving home, it looked as if no one was ever in our house. Everything was left clean and tidy. We will definitely be using him again!
Suzanne was a fantastic pet sitter! She coordinated a visit to my home before the stay so she could meet my pets and learn their routines. Throughout her stay, she sent me photos and videos and kept me informed at all times. She took wonderful care of my pets and my home, and she was always very responsive. I highly recommend her!
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 September 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 September 2026, there are 4,515 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.

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.
