“Kala went above and beyond to take excellent care of our boys while we were on a long trip. She took her time with visits and gave lots to of TLC to all the animals in our house. Even though we were thousands of miles away and 7 hrs ahead I felt such peace knowing Kala was giving her best to our furbabies! Beyond grateful for you Kala! Thank you so much!!”

About: Very playful and loving with any kind of dogs. I enjoy taking them out for walks and giving them a good workout. Your fur babies will have lots of fun and plenty of breaks as well. And they will receive plenty of love and cuddles while under my care. I am currently working evenings to nighttime at a part time job. I am completely available Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I can also care for your fur baby on Saturdays if needed. In case of an emergency, there is a vet near my apartment building I can take your fur baby to. The house is always locked at nighttime and there are plenty of locations to take them on walks and exercise during the day.
“Charles was such a sweetheart the entire process! I got regular check-ins and my dog and cat were happy to meet him and well taken care of while I was away. Thanks again for all your help!”

About: Hello there! My name is Jossi, I have over five years of professional experience caring for animals through various daycare/boarding facilities and a service dog training facility. Along with my personal passion for animals and nature. Over the years, I have had the privilege to gain knowledge in many different aspects of Animal Welfare! I am trained on dosing different medications, Animal CPR/ First Aid, and medically needed restrictive activity. I have knowledge in managing special quirks in fur-babies (resource guarding, playing keep away, mouthiness, etc) and I take pride in providing a safe environment for your pet to explore and learn how to redirect energy into productive outlets. This is supplemented with tons of enrichment to promote mental stimulation and small tips to help owners understand pet needs so that we can team up to create a setting for pets to be happy and healthy! I am a big communicator and love to keep parents updated on their pets, I know how stressful it can be being away from your fur-babies, rest assured I will do whatever I can (within reason) to ensure the comfort of everyone. I am also very honest and if I feel I am not a good fit, I will communicate that as soon as I know. I strive to create an open and tolerant environment for families and look forward to welcoming new families into the pack! A little about me: I have always loved wildlife and being in nature. I am a big adventurer and love to explore new areas. I am okay handling an array of different critters. I have had everything from hamsters, ferrets, and birds to cats and dogs of all sizes. I currently have a large dog (Cotufo), three kitties (Critter, Wybie, & Stitch) and a Bearded Dragon (Tater Tot). Outside of my love for nature, I spend my time playing games, watching films, and being creative through various outlets! I currently work part time but my schedule allows me to have Mondays and Tuesdays off. I can accommodate some other services around my work schedule, feel free to message me for more information! Before your fur-babies are in my care, I like to ask questions about expectations to the client and give them the opportunity to ask me questions and clarify any topics we would need to talk through. I prefer to do a meet and greet and allow the pet to warm up to me as naturally as possible. While in my care, I keep pet parents updated on activities, routines, and any changes in their pets that might come up.
“Jonathan has been our go to dog sitter anytime we are out of town and always does an amazing job with Mia. We recommend him to anyone who will be away from their pups for an extended period of time.”

“Jasmine was sweet with my cats and professional. My cats can be shy with new people, but it was clear from the pictures that my cats enjoyed their play time and getting to know Jasmine. We will book with Jasmine again on our next trip.”

About: What sets me apart is my reliability and genuine care for every pet. My wife and I both work professionally in higher education, so being dependable, organized, and responsive is already a huge part of who we are. We also understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet and your home. We will provide regular updates, photos, and quick communication so pet parents feel comfortable while they’re away. Additionally; patience and attentiveness are a core value of ours. Pet care fits naturally into our weekly routine because we genuinely enjoy being active, and spending time with animals. During the summer, we both have consistent availability on Tuesdays /Fridays/Saturday/Sundays. We are also very organized with scheduling and communication, so I make it a priority to be dependable and responsive with every booking. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, feeding routines, or evening visits, we enjoy creating a calm and positive experience for both pets and their owners When caring for pets in a client’s home, the focus is on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible. Its all about following feeding schedules carefully, providing plenty of attention and making sure pets get exercise and bathroom breaks.
“I hired Taryn for a drop-in midday to let out and play with our Goldendoodle. She was on-time, communicative, took lots of pictures, and very easy to deal with! Would highly recommend!!”

“Samantha was a hit with Mulder when they first met! I saw how he immediately accepted Samantha. It gave me peace of mind while we were away for an extended period of time. We have your number Samantha and we will call you again when needed. Thank you!”

“Oh my goodness! She was AMAZING!! She took the time to get to know all my fur babies and even took special time to do activities with them like brush my chow chow. I came home tired from my trip to a clean house animals food full and the liter boxes clean. 10/10 she went above and beyond. My for babies loved her and yours will too.”

About: I bring over 12 years of hands-on pet care experience and have cared for 50+ animals, including horses, bunnies, turtles, chickens, dogs, cats, goats, and reptiles. My background includes rescue dogs, seniors, puppies, anxious pets, and multi-pet households. Raised around a family-run rescue shelter in Colombia, I developed early awareness of behavioral sensitivity and trauma-informed handling. I understand how to support reactive dogs, pets adjusting to new environments, and animals deeply attached to their routines. I’m confident with structured walks, medication administration, feeding schedules, and maintaining consistency — because routine creates safety. I work comfortably with high-energy breeds who need firm structure as well as senior dogs who require patience and gentle pacing. Safety, emotional regulation, and calm leadership guide everything I do. With 36+ five-star reviews, I’ve built a reputation for reliability, attentiveness, and creating environments where pets feel secure and balanced. Animals respond quickly to steady, grounded presence — and that’s exactly what I provide. As a remote entrepreneur, I offer something many sitters can’t: consistent daytime presence. Your pet isn’t left alone for long stretches or squeezed between other bookings. My flexible work schedule allows me to integrate care naturally throughout the day. This includes: ✔️ Midday enrichment walks or structured backyard play ✔️ Consistent feeding and medication routines ✔️ Responsive potty breaks (no long waits by the door) ✔️ Calm, attentive evening companionship Because I’m home, I can adjust in real time, whether your dog needs extra exercise, reassurance during a storm, or simply quiet company nearby. My workday flows with your pet’s rhythm and their well-being. ▸▸ Meet & Greet First I require a Meet & Greet to ensure energetic compatibility and comfort before booking. ▸▸ Home Integrity Standard I maintain a clean, respectful presence in every home. Surfaces are cared for, plants are tended thoughtfully, and shared spaces are reset daily. You’ll return to a home that feels orderly and well-kept, never disrupted. ▸▸ Security Discipline Calm authority prevents accidents. ✔️ Double-check of gates and entry points ✔️ Leash inspection before every walk ✔️ Awareness of flight-risk behaviors ✔️ Structured handling of anxious animals ▸▸ Communication & Updates You'll receive consistent photo updates so you can see your pet thriving in real time. With 36+ five-star reviews, families choose me again and again because they know communication, safety, and integrity come first.

About: I specialize in behavioral therapy and have a degree in pre-med Psychology. I am a compassionate student who takes pride in her ability to care for a multitude of animals. I am always looking for ways to improve the lives of our others, and I understand that it can be difficult to balance personal wellness with that of our pets. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! I’m currently flexible with my academic schedule, as I don’t start internships for another year; so, I am available around the clock Monday-Friday at this time! I do prefer that you reach out at least 24 hours in advance if possible so I can ensure I complete the day’s tasks. :) I unfortunately cannot provide care to your furry friend in my home due to leasing policies; however, I will ensure that they are well taken care of in your home or walking environment.

Estoy muy agradecido con Usted por tan excelente servicio y por el cuidado de mi mascota. Volvería a dejarle mi gato. Al principio un poco de temor pero su responsabilidad y amor a las mascotas me ha demostrado que es profesional en el cuidado de mascotas. De mi parte al publico en general les recomiendo 100 por ciento a la Señora Anghi U para el cuidado, responsabilidad, seguridad de sus apreciadas mascotas. Gracias Anghi.
Destiny was wonderful to interact with! Even with shorter notice than I prefer to give, she still was able to drop-in and check on my cat while I was out of town. She was very communicative and detailed in her approach, which I appreciated as well. I definitely recommend booking Destiny for your pet's care

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Ridge. On Rover:

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.
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.
