“Kylo really enjoyed his time and seemed to just fit right in at Stephanie&Matthews home. it was such an easy drop off and pick up:) also appreciated the update pictures on all the days we were gone.”
“Candace was a phenomenal caregiver to my Bella. She provided daily updates and photos. I wasn't sure how my Bella would interact with her fur babies, but they got along wonderful. I highly recommend her to spoil and care for your pet whenever you are away.”
“Ashley made sure our dog felt comfortable right away. Throughout the stay, she sent us lots of wonderful photos, and it was clear our dog was truly happy. She cares for dogs with so much love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“So happy we found Lisa! My Lola.did amazing. Lisa make them feel welcome and a plus as Lola had some awesome playmates! I never had any concern she would be well cared for! Would definitely use her again!”
“Jenna and Shane were great! They were quick to reply to our messages, and they kept us informed about how our sweet Breadsticks was doing the entire time. I felt like they loved her like she was their own. They were adaptable when we had to change pick up plans. They made the whole experience comfortable and pleasant. Thank you so much, Jenna and Shane!”
“She did an amazing job taking care of my baby girls, updating me every step of the way. Will definitely be using her again next time I need a sitter in Greensboro!! ❤️”
“Had my dog there for one night and he seemed to enjoy that fenced back yard and his overall time with her! She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. Would use again.”
“Another great stay with Jane! We’re very pleased with how well Angel has learned to play with her canine roomies during her stay. Jane gives them freedom to socialize and bond, all while keeping things controlled and safe. And as usual, Angel had to stick her head out the window, and was whining with excitement when she arrived. We can tell from her behavior (and from Jane’s frequent pictures) that she always has a good time there.”
“Jakiah was awesome! She was very caring and really worked well with my little puppy. She helped me out at last minute notice and kept me updated on his progress throughout his stay. Will definitely use Jakiah continuously in the future!”
“Joaquin was a great sitter for my German Shepherd, Astrid. I usually take her to a boarding facility, which is fine, but I wanted someone with more flexibility. Joaquin was a bonus because he’s also a Dog Trainer. Loved the pictures and video and fast response time. He also was able to keep her an extra day when my flight got canceled and I was unable to return to pick her up when I had originally booked.”
“I highly recommend leaving your baby with these phenomenal people! They took such great care of Declan! They kept me updated on him since he has a broken leg as well as sent a lot of pictures! We will definitely be using them again to take care of our little man!!”
“Brandy was amazing! She took very good care of my pup. She was very responsive, sent pics and videos, and also let me know if there were any problems or concerns she had with him. I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pup in good hands!”
“Ross and Sarah were great! Aries and Bella enjoyed their time with them. They stayed in contact throughout the booking sending updates and and multiple photos and videos a day which helped me enjoy my vacation knowing they were being taken such great care of.”
“I can not explain how happy I am with my sitter for Dante she was amazing and kept me informed with pics and updates on his days with her which gave me so much peace. I will be using her again for sure. Thanks again!”
“Adriana was great. She was always sending us updates with photos and videos of Luna. We could tell Luna was comfortable and having a great time there. We will definitely use Adriana’s services again.”
“Paisley was very helpful and took very good care of our dogs. She kept us updated on their status with pictures and texts. She was extremely flexible about the drop off and pick up schedule. I would definitely recommend her.!”

About: Hello! I have been pet sitting for 5 years, either staying overnight or just stopping by! I absolutely love watching doggies and helping out when I can. I am able to do whatever you need, I will feed, walk, bathe, etc. i absolutely love meeting new fur babies!! I currently am a student at high point university, majoring in biology. Most of my schedule consists of classes that are about an hour long with hour breaks in between each class. I have a part-time job hosting, only 2 days a week at night time. I am able to take dogs out on a leash, let them out in a yard, crate them, or whatever the plan may be. I can also walk them and pick up after them if preferred! I will give them lots of love and make sure they are comfortable.
“I was very pleased with the care Robin gave to my pups while we went on vacation. I did not have anyone in my circle who boarded animals so I took a chance and I'm glad I did. From the moment my dogs met Robin they felt her love and had not hesitation to go with her. She kept me posted daily which gave me comfort. I will definitely use and highly recommend her services to anyone! Thank you for a positive experience!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Ridge
We are so thankful for the wonderful care they provided to Pluto! The daily updates were especially appreciated and gave us reassurance throughout our trip. They were responsive , flexible, and very accommodating with Plutos's food requirements and our late pick up. Most importantly,Pluto was well cared for. We would definitely trust them with him again.
Rachael made our first Rover/dog sitting experience a great one!! She communicated quickly when we were trying to book our stay and asked questions to make sure it would be a good fit, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pictures and updates on how things were going throughout the week. Drop off and pick up was a breeze…she made it super easy and quick and had everything ready to go. We will absolutely use her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oak Ridge is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 517 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oak Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Oak Ridge can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oak Ridge home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oak Ridge.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Oak Ridge sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , 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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
