“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 was amazing. She connected with our pups (especially our trouble maker puppy 😀) and communicated frequently with us regarding how they were doing while we were away. Would definitely use her again to watch our pups.”
“Ronnie went over and above! I can only recommend him highly! He was flexible with my schedule and loved my babies like they were his own! I will definitely be booking again! I’ve had multiple sisters and none of them made my dogs and cats as happy! He sent pictures and was immediate in communicating with me!”
“Katherine was the BEST! She house sat Wiley, my 2 year old pit bull, for several days while I was away. She kept me updated with texts and photos of Wiley. Katherine took Wiley on hikes and several park play sessions throughout each day. When I arrived home, the house was just as we left it and Wiley was a very happy pup. I highly recommend Katherine's services. She is wonderful!”
“Erin was absolutely outstanding! She was arrived on time and was extremely communicative, sending us updates daily complete with adorable photos and videos of our babies. She even went out of her way to bathe our two big pups before we returned from our trip, stripped the guest bedroom sheets, and I’m pretty sure she vacuumed for us! One of the most stressful parts of retuning from a long trip is coming home to a dirty house and dirty puppers. She made the transition home seamless and couldn’t have taken better care of our two dogs and two kitties while we were out of town for 5 days! We will definitely be booking with Erin again for our next trip!! 😊”
“She did a great job keeping me updated on my dogs. She responds quick help ease the stress of leaving my dogs . my 2 frenchies seem to enjoyed their time with her. Thanks again.”
“Rebecca was awesome! Daily updates and photos! We were gone for 7 nights, and it was so comforting to know someone was here at our home with our pets. Rebecca was also very receptive to all my crazy instructions and notes and did everything to a T! Will definitely be recommending her to our friends and using here again!”
“Shea did a great job watching our dog and cat while we were out of town for almost a week. You can expect consistent updates and pictures with Shea! She was also respectful of our house. We would definitely rebook with Shea in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Leah did a great job watching over my little girl as well as the house. She gave regular updates without having to be asked, the house looks great, and my pup was very happy when I returned.”
“Met Angela through Rover, she is absolutely incredible, I was nervous leaving my senior dog, as he is typically at home or with close friends. She handled him with warmth, compassion and expertise. I came home to calm and happy dog. She skillfully handled my trip emergency definitively recommend her!”
“It was such a pleasure for us to know that Amy was at our home taking great care of Whiskey! When we met Amy for our meet and greet we had a feeling that they would get along great and they did! Thank you Amy for taking care of our home as well and for your kindness and professionalism throughout. We look forward to having you come over again and spend some time with our whiskey ;-)”
“Ellana was great! Had a meet and greet beforehand - felt like she would care for our dog/house like it was her own. Sent us pics while we were gone, followed all instructions, washed sheets (we didn't ask her to). We'll be using her again in the future and I recommend her without reservation!”
“Hailey was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! She recently house sat for me while caring for my two dogs, Archie and Griffin, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met, Hailey was warm, professional, trustworthy, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She took exceptional care of Archie and Griffin, giving them so much attention, affection, and excellent care while I was away. She also provided updates and photos, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. Not only did Hailey take wonderful care of my dogs, but she also looked after my home with the utmost respect and care. I returned to a spotless house and two very happy, relaxed pups—a true testament to the love and attention she gave them. It is such a gift to be able to travel knowing that both your pets and your home are in such capable and caring hands. Hailey went above and beyond in every way, and I would not hesitate to have her house and dog sit for me again. If you’re considering Hailey, book her with complete confidence—you and your pets will be incredibly fortunate to have her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Morris Oak Ridge
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.
Christian was such a great sitter! We had our other sitters cancel on us very last minute (6 pm on a Friday night when they were supposed to come at 7) and Christian was able to get to us so quickly. We really appreciated his flexibility, his willingness, and he did a great job taking care of our pups and our home. Our dogs got very comfortable with him (we have a German shepherd so that’s a big deal). We will definitely be using him again in the future.
Erin followed my dogs' schedule exactly as instructed. I was very happy with the care she provided, giving them plenty of attention, cuddles, and love while I was away. We had bad weather that weekend, which makes one of my dogs very nervous, but Erin was always home with them, making sure they felt safe and cared for. I truly appreciated her dedication and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you Erin!!!
We are so glad we found Julia & Eric. Communication was excellent throughout our time away, and we always felt informed and reassured. Loved all of the photos & video updates. Knowing Gracie was in good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Will definitely be booking with them again!
Victoria was amazing during the stay with our dogs. She followed our instructions and was great at communicating and sending picture updates! She is very skilled which eased our minds as we were away for a few days. We would definitely book again in the future !

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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
