“Breanna did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. Maeve is very shy, even with me sometimes. Not only did Breanna see Maeve but they even interacted. Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen the pictures. I knew that my girls were in good hands. Definitely recommend Breanna!”
“Our dogs fell in love with Kyleigh almost instantly. She was attentive, kind and reliable. She is a genuine dog lover. We got lots of cute reassuring pics while travelling. We were lucky to find her!”
“Lola is so sweet and my dog really seems to enjoy his time with her. Anytime I texted her to check on my pup she was there to answer almost immediately. I will definitely be booking her again. She was super understanding and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to watch after my puppy while I was away.”
“Darcy was awesome with my pups, Blue and Kobe, during her drop in! She did everything as asked and put my mind at ease knowing my pups were well taken care of. Not to mention, she took amazing pictures of them during her drop in, I was impressed! I will definitely be using her again!”
“We love Angie! She went above and beyond this time bc we had an issue with our HVAC develop while we were away and she communicated quickly and efficiently to let us know and help us get it resolved.”
About: I can't pass a pup in public without getting in a quick pet. If I'm meeting you for the first time I may or may not remember your name, but I'll remember every detail (including name) of your pup. I'm 50 years old, but when I'm in the presence of a furry friend, I start baby talking like a 2-year-old. Bottom line, I love dogs. I am Mama to 4 rescue pups and a rescue kitty. I've proudly fostered 9 rescues over the years and although it's a challenging job, it's extremely rewarding seeing them happy and healthy in their forever homes and knowing that I had a small part to play in that. I'm a stay-at-home Mom of two teenagers who don't need me nearly as much as they used too. That newly acquired free time enables me to accomodate almost any number of drop in visits per day to spend quality time with your fur baby! My pups are used to a specific routine and thrive when they are comfortable and know what to expect. With that being said, I'm happy to follow any care instructions that you request. From administering medication to going on fun-filled walks, your request is my command!
“Nicole exceeded our expectations and will always use her in the future! She is wonderful so make sure Rover keeps her! Her love for animals definitely shins through!”
“Morgan has been amazing with my three senior pups! She has been coming for drop in visits for quite a while now and I am so thankful to have found her! She always sends detailed updates at every visit and multiple adorable pictures! She makes sure to stay in contact if there are any concerns at all; I know I can trust my pups with her. My pups really enjoy when she visits and I think they're wondering where she is on the days she doesn't come to say hello to them. So grateful for Morgan and would highly recommend!”
“Great experience with Michael caring for my cat! Everything was in great shape upon my return. My cat was well cared for and happy! Will definitely book Michael F. again!”
“America took great care of my cat, Luna! Played with her, gave fresh water, and cleaned litter box daily. She called me prior to her visits beginning just to make sure all needs would be accounted for. I highly recommend her :)”
“Kelly did a great job communicating with us while we were gone. We were nervous because our dog is not used to being around anyone besides us and can be protective of her home but Kelly did a great job with her and put us at ease. She sent lots of pics and updates and we really appreciate her taking care of our pets!”
“Danielle took care of our 13 year old kitty when we were on vacation. This was my first Rover experience, and Danielle communicated with me and answered all of my questions before-hand. I had confidence that my cat was getting everything she needed, and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Kitty was very happy and healthy when I returned.”
About: I grew up with dogs big and small! I’ve handled elderly dogs that needed diapers and help walking, given medication to dogs who dont want them, and taught boundaries and basic commands to a dog who was untrained. Whatever your furry friend needs, I’ve got you covered! I’m currently free almost every single day! Im a home body who was laid off recently so this is my current job! I do not have any other permanent plans during the week and can be free when needed! I prefer to work in the client’s home as that is the pet’s safe space. I can adapt to any life style a pet requires of me. Some prefer 2-3 walks a day. Some cannot walk a lot and need to be helped. I understand every pet is different and with that comes different types of care for the pet.
“McKenna was great! We had to go out of town on short notice and McKenna was able to squeeze us in and took wonderful care of our cats. One of our cats is very friendly but the other is slower to warm up to strangers. She was sensitive to the differences in their personalities and was able to get our shy cat to warm up to her quite a bit in the few days we were gone. We will absolutely ask McKenna first the next time we have to go out of town!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11 years old. Family, friends and neighbors have entrusted me to come into their homes to feed, let out, clean up and give lots of attention and love to their pets. I am a teacher’s assistant at an elementary school, so I’m available early mornings and anytime after 3:30 during the week. I’m also available on weekends and during the summertime. I’m currently unable to take pets in my home as I have my own sweet Labrador Retriever and Australian Labradoodle and an adorable cat, but I’m available to travel to your residence to take excellent care of your pets.
About: Hi there! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15 and have had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of animals. Pet owners have trusted me with rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, as well as cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve worked with breeds ranging from tiny chihuahuas to large St. Bernards, and I’m experienced with pets from energetic 6-month-old puppies to senior companions up to 14 years old. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always strive to provide attentive, loving care so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently an artist working from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, as well as early morning feedings and late-night potty breaks. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will get consistent attention, care, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I offer house-sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits, and I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. During house-sitting, I stay in your home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision. For drop-in visits and walks, I make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, feeding, and playtime they need while you’re away. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had dogs in my house my entire life. I absolutely love taking care of them! I’ve also always helped my friends taking care of their dogs and have dog sit many different breeds. I personally have owned beagles, Labradors, and golden retrievers. With my last two dogs I’ve personally been the one taking care of them mostly all the way from 8 weeks old. I absolutely love taking care of dogs and would love taking care of any breeds! I’m currently a student at University of North Carolina Wilmington. I would be available Tuesdays 12-5, Wednesdays 2-5, Thursdays 12-7, Fridays 1-7, and anytime on Saturdays and Sundays. I currently cannot take care of any dogs in my home. I am living in an on campus apartment and we are not allowed to have pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oak Ridge on Rover is $18.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 731 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oak Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
