“Stephanie and Matthew were wonderful! They were more than accommodating and patient, especially with our last-minute boarding/petsitting request through Rover. They sent daily updates and pictures of our boys during the 4 days, leaving us always reassured and very comfortable with having left our dogs in their care. Highly recommended!”
“This is the first time using Rover, or anyone we don’t personally know. Holly was amazing in all aspects! Welcoming, helpful, accommodating, caring, detail oriented, and understanding. The many pictures and updates she sent were reassuring of the obvious quality of care she and her family were providing.”
“I was very impressed with the care given to my pup. Candice sent photos and progress reports daily on how he was doing daily to ease some of my anxiety lol. I really appreciated that. Great sitter. I will definitely use her again.”
“Angela was absolutely incredible! From the very first message, they were incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with, which made the entire process stress-free. We especially loved the updates and the photos they sent throughout the stay. It was so reassuring to see our pups looking happy, relaxed, and well-cared for while we were away. You can really tell they treat every pet like their own. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again—highly recommended!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I must say that Lutisa was phenomenal with my little Coco. She sent pictures and video and reassured me that my sweet and spicy little Coco would be just fine. I will book again with Lutisa if she will have my little Coco.”
“Ellie and Karson were so good to my girl! Ellie kept me updated with pictures and took her on walks. My baby was taken very good care of! I would definitely let Ellie and Karson keep Charlie again in the future!!”
“Starla and her sons took great care of King. She kept us up to date with pictures and messages. He looked absolutely thrilled to be enjoying their company and big back yard. We will certainly request Starla in the future.”
“I was comfortable from the moment I dropped Jessie off at Rachael's until the minute I picked her up, because it was obvious she loves dogs and they love her. Jessie took to Rachael right away and acted as if going to her house was a common thing even though they just met. I received several pictures each day and an update on how things were going. I think Rachael took really good care of Jessie and both Jessie and I look forward to a return trip!”
“Jenna & Shane are professional sitters with warm hearts! Som is a Samoyed puppy with high energy, and while she may have caused some trouble, they kindly reassured us that Som was a good girl :) Their two dogs, Skye and Dash, are wonderful teachers for Som; they may have even taught her how to behave. We noticed that Som has become sweeter than before and well-socialized. Their place is beautiful, with a well-fenced, clean yard. Anything else? My puppy looks a bit chubbier and fluffier, which shows that she had a good appetite, thanks to their hospitality.”
“Excellent!! Gabrielle watched our 2 Yorkies when we took a trip overseas. She was attentive and kept us updated with how our pups were doing and sent pictures regularly. This gave us peace of mind while we were halfway across the globe. When we returned from our trip and picked up our dogs, it was obvious they had been well taken care of. I highly recommend Gabrielle. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Great sitter! Super communicative. Monitored my dogs behavior along with other dogs to ensure safety between all of them. He’s super patient and flexible with me and my fur babies. Thank you!”
“Pat took my baby in an emergency situation. She worked with me and went out of her way to make sure that my baby was taken care of. She gave me good updates and communicated with me so I would not worry for this was a first time my baby had to stay with someone that she didn't know. She was wonderful, and I would definitely ask her to keep my baby again.”
“Tina was a fantastic host for our Abby! Her home was spacious and has a great yard for dogs to play and enjoy the sun throughout the day with a great park right around the corner. We received daily updates on our pup while we were on vacation and I cannot thank her enough for the effort Tina puts in on dog sitting! 12/10 would recommend to a friend. If you are looking for a thoughtful and caring sitter for your pup, Tina is your person!”
“I was hesitent to leave Cooper for so long as it was his first-time being away for that length of time, but Katie treated him like her own and he was happy! Katie kept me informed and sent pictures of Cooper and eased my fears about being away during 4th of July fireworks (a scary time for him)! I'll definitely use her again if the need arises! Katie, thanks for treating my baby like your own!!”
“Wonderful experience, great communication. Our quirky little Bugg had a blast and came home happy, healthy, and well exercised. It was our first time leaving him with non-family and Amber & boys put our minds at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Gina took wonderful care of my two standard schnauzer pups. They are nine months old and still have enough puppy in them to be a handful. She loved on my dogs, took them with her outside on walks and while working in the yard, sent me picture and video updates. I don't worry about my dogs in the least bit when they are with Gina. She will take excellent care of your dogs while she has them in her care. She's my #1 option for pet care. I highly recommend!”
“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!! ❤️”
“I have never left my boy Cody overnight before. I met Melany & Flavio and they assured me that he would be okay. While on vacation, there were moments that I really missed him, but I knew he was okay. She sent me pictures of my fur baby. He looked happy 😊 Thank you both again!”
“The best sitter I've ever had! It's almost as if my dog (Kota) misses her. She was absolutely amazing and the love she shows to our furry 4 legged family members is 100 genuine! I will definitely book her again! I advise you to book with her if you want your fur babies to be treated with love and care! Thank you so much Jakiah!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Ridge
This was the first time we left our dog with Stephanie and Matthew and it was for a 5-night stay, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Because we were away, we were naturally a bit nervous, but they made us feel completely at ease. From the very beginning, the environment was incredibly warm, welcoming, clean and spacious, giving our dog plenty of room to feel right at home. It was clear from the daily updates that Ollie was receiving top-notch care and exercise every single day. We loved getting the pictures and comments daily—it truly brightened our trip and showed us just how well cared for and happy our dog was. We will absolutely be booking again. Thank you for treating Ollie like family!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Oak Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oak Ridge on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 537 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Oak Ridge sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Oak Ridge landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oak Ridge home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 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 .
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.
