“Stephanie was awesome. I was nervous because it was Milo’s first time being boarded. She reassured me and embraced him right away. She sent texts during his stay and a picture to let me know how he was doing. When Milo returned home he was worn out!! He ran and played so much during his stay that he slept most of the day when he got home.He had plenty of space to run and play and was showered with plenty of affection. I appreciate Stephanie so much❤️. I would certainly book her again.”
“Holly took the best care of our puppies, they didn’t want to leave! Her and her family treated the dogs like their own and sent lots of pictures and updates☺️ will definitely be returning to Holly the next time we’re out of town!!”

“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!”
“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!”

“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter while I was away on my trip. Leaving my dog is never easy, but she made the entire process feel so comfortable and stress-free. She was very communicative, kept me updated with messages and pictures, and it was clear my dog was being well cared for and getting plenty of attention. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she cares for. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“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!”
“She is absolutely amazing. Will be leaving my dogs with her from now on. Super communicative and sent pics and vids. My dogs were super happy and healthy when i picked them up. Super sweet lady”
“My dog stayed with her, and I'm delighted with the service she provides. When I picked her up from other locations, she always came home with diarrhea and seemed sad. This time, I decided to leave her with Melany, and I don't regret it. She always sends me photos, and my dog came back very happy and well cared for. Not to mention that I was late picking up the dog and she was very kind and understanding. Thanks Melany! ❤️”
“Laura met and exceeded expectations. This was my first time using Rover and she was the perfect choice. Communication was top tier. I got consistent updates about how my girl was doing there. She took great care of my dog! I will be booking with Laura in the future. Forever. Thank you so much for being accommodating and looking after my baby!”

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!

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 .

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.
