About: Hands on experience caring for animals I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with a wide variety of animals from large to small. I am retired and I do Uber on the side. I have very flexible hours and I’m available from dog walking, spending time with your animals to staying with them in your home to house sitting. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand that every animal is different, and I will take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs that they may have. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime, quiet, companionship, medication or extra patience, I provide loving a attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pets is to feel completely comfortable, knowing they’re in experienced, caring and trustworthy hands.
About: Practical experience in caring for animals, including tasks like feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, administering medication when necessary, grooming, cleaning up after them, monitoring their health, and offering companionship, all while ensuring safety and well-being in the owner’s absence. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m pretty much open availability. Mornings, nights and overnight as needed! I have a clean, comfortable space. I have an open yard, a dog park close to my home. I can easily crate your dog if needed!
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.
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life. Worked at a vet office and going to college to become a veterinarian. Good with puppies, kittens, any old pups and cats too. Able to give medication if needed or just the care and attention they need. I'm part time at a veterinary clinic, so I have quite a bit of free time and I make sure to fit things into my schedule. I love animals so I would be willing to stay with your pet for a while each time. I make sure everyone is fed, has water, gone on walks or even just run around. I play with the animals for a bit and depending if you want me to stay longer at the house I can spend time with the baby.
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.
About: While in college, I volunteered at a human society and have been caring for my family dogs since I was able to stay home alone, up until currently. Right now, I am trying to figure out my career after college and what I want to do with my degree so I figured in the meantime why not do something that I have a strong passion for! I am very young and active, so just about everytime your baby wants/needs to go outside I will take them for a walk. I also love to play with them, if that’s something they love. I am here to make your pet feel most comfortable while you are away!
About: I’ve taken care of and had animals since I was a kid. I’ve always enjoyed meeting new pets and getting to know them and their owners.

So my availability is pretty consistent and flexible. I have days off and plenty of free time between work that I would love to meet some new furry friends! I’m willing to travel to come visit your pet and do what you need! We use Rover for our pups and we’ve loved it. I can walk them, feed them, play, give medications, etc.

I have two dogs who have taught me so much about what it’s like to take care of dogs. Right now I live at a dorm so I won’t be able to have dogs over my place, but I would love to come over to the pets home where they’re most comfortable and give them company and love.
About: I have taken care of several types of dogs over the last 20 years. No matter how big, small, wild or calm a dog is, I always have a great time understanding their personalities.

Alex has been a joy to work with!! Maddix is absolutely in love with her and I don't know what I'd do without her! She is reliable, respectful, knowledgeable and a great communicator. She goes above and beyond! She is flexible and willing to work with you. I trust her with Maddix and my home. Everyone needs an Alex in their life! Thanks Alex, for being a life saver and caring so much for Maddix!
Loved Skyler! Super nice and responsible, she took care of my big Goldendoodle and, despite the bad weather, she did great and never missed checking on my dog at my house. On my return, my dog looked happy and got super excited when she stopped by to bring the house keys, which told me he loved her as well… that says it all!!! Will definitely use her again and recommend🫶🏻.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Oak Ridge. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Oak Ridge.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Ridge. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
