“Kacie was absolutely incredible with our dog Brodie! We were in town for our wedding at Bella Collina and she went above and beyond and you can tell she is just super caring of all the dogs she takes care of. We worked out an arrangement where she would bring our dog to our venue for our ceremony and it went sooo smooth! I would 100% recommend her, especially for any others who may be coming in out of town and might not get a meet and greet like we couldn't. Our only regret is that she didn't live closer, as she would definitely have become our go to sitter after this experience.”

“Christina was an amazing sitter for my dog! She was super communicative with me and provided updates everyday and at my request. I could tell that my dog was super taken care of and was able to live comfortably the entirety of her stay. I would highly recommend if you’re looking to drop off your pet in good hands!”

“Nancy is a true gem of a sitter! The pictures that she sent, and the notations kept me totally at ease the entire time she had my Cisco. Though I rarely use a sitter, I would recommend Nancy to anyone who wants a loving and safe environment for a special pet. I was really pleased that she took Cisco walking so often. You can trust your pet to Nancy.”

“Kate loves spending time with Samantha and Tim. They were so accommodating with our (very) last minute request for boarding. She was very relaxed in the car ride home and seemed as happy as could be!”

About: Hey, my name is Evan. I am currently a graduate student at UNCG looking to provide high quality care for your pets needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, or just chilling out, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I will take the time to follow your instructions closely. I aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet. While you're away, I'll keep you in the loop with photos and messages. As for experience, I grew up with three cats and have cat-sitting experience, so I am familiar and have a good understanding of their needs. Also, I have a couple years of experience dog-sitting and dog-walking during my undergrad. During the summer, my availability is very open and have plenty of free time throughout the week and weekends. I also will be respectful towards the owners home, so expect the house to be in perfect order. I want to create a familiar and welcoming atmosphere for your pet, as if you never left. I also want you to feel at ease as the pet owners, so anticipate open and honest communication. My goal is to provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and a positive experience for both you and your pet! I am currently a graduate student and working part-time, so I have plenty of time during the day to provide high quality pet care. I live in a safe environment with plenty of space inside for your pet. There is also a big yard right outside my complex, as well as a fenced off area for pets.
“Emily and Adam were great! My fur baby was very comfortable with them and he made himself at home right away. They kept me updated throughput the stay and sent pics. I highly recommend them and will book them again in the future when needed!”

“Sully really enjoyed himself With Imani. She's sweet, caring and youll be able to tell when you meet her that your pet will be on great hands. Sully's really picky with who he likes and it didn't even take two minutes to get his approval 😂 will definitely bring him by again!”

“Carrie is a wonderful dog sitter, she was happy to schedule a meet and great to make sure our dogs were compatible with hers and she was very accommodating with our anxious rescues needs. She sends updates and plenty of photos while they are there. Highly recommend Carrie and we will definitely use her in the future if we need someone to watch our boys!”

“Luna has stayed at Alicia's a handful of times now, and each time she has a BLAST! When I leave Luna for a weekend stay, I know she is in good hands and she will get the best care. I like taking her to Say Cheese vs. a traditional Kennel because I know she gets so much more outdoor time. Alicia has so much space for the pups to run around and play with each other, and she always sends pictures! Thanks to Alicia, Matthew and Sam for taking such great care of my fur baby!”

About: Your pup will become part of the fam when they’re with us! I grew up with three dogs and two cats in my home at all times. Now I own a sweet little Yorkie, Athena, who is my best friend. :) I taught her how to sit, lay, jump through a hoop and give high fives! She loves other dogs and people and is always ready to put in her dress harness and go! She doesn’t even care where. Im actually a realtor who mostly works from home! :) Fall and winter are slower months for me and other than the occasional walk in the parks, I’m usually home haha I have a gate that prevents them from going upstairs and an adjustable size crate with a bed for when it’s time to wind down. Frequent walks around the neighborhood. Very safe and friendly neighborhood.

About: Before i got Milo I took care of my aunts dog and let her stay some nights, I have always loved animals and they make me very happy,I would care for any pet as if it was my own I go to school at Forsyth tech from 9 till around 2 any time after that works for me and I have no class on Fridays I like to take my dogs for 2 long walks together every day one mile each or just walk around for a while so they stay fit and happy,as well as feed then real food mixed with kibble
“Adoni has watched our pup many times for one and two week periods. We have complete confidence in her . Our little Yorkie has come to love and enjoy spending time with Adoni. We are always getting notes and pics sent to us while we are away and have come to consider her a good friend”

“Morgann is absolutely amazing! She made both my pups feel loved and right at home for their first boarding experience. Her knowledge of and experience with dogs was very evident. Her calm confidence really helped make this a positive experience and she sent several pics and videos throughout our week away so we could see our pups were doing well. We will definitely be boarding through Morgann again for the rest of our upcoming trips!”


About: As it usually goes, growing up my family always owned dogs, from German Shepherds to Chihuahua mixes. I follow up my personal experience with 6 years of professional experience working at various dog boarding/daycare facilities and veterinary hospitals. Before moving to North Carolina, I lived in Iowa where 3 years ago I was given the opportunity to a apprenticeship at Fowl Water Outdoors, afterwards I was then given the opportunity to a job training at Lakota Creek Kennels. Since moving to NC I had been able to fill the role of assistant trainer at Spence Canine Academy in Oak Ridge, NC. Along with my background, I am pet CPR/first aid certified and able to provide a background check along with several references. I have four of my own pets. Zeus, a 6 year old German Shepherd who I have dabbled in fast CAT and AKC scent work with. Zeppy, a 1 year old Belgian Malinois I am training in the bite sport of PSA with. LaRue, a 6 month old Standard Poodle who has big shoes to fill as a hunting companion. And Maly, my 1 year old Siamese cat. Previously I owned a Dutch Shepherd who I trained in the bite sport of PSA with as well, I am certainly partial to the Shepherds. In my teen years I owned a few rabbits, a couple Mini Lops, an English Angora, and would love the opportunity to care for rabbits again! Big or small, dogs to bunnies, they are loved all the same and I look forward to taking care of your beloved pets! Currently my schedule is wide open for dog walking, adventure walks, and drop-in visits from 7am-9pm Monday through Friday, as well as boarding! I have a 2 bedroom townhome without a fenced yard so dogs are required to be leashed. However we will still get plenty of exercise in through play, walks, and on leash hikes! Having a spare bedroom allows me to easily accommodate pets who may not get along with others, or simply enjoy having their own private, calm, and quiet space.

About: I’ve been around animals for all of my life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I currently have a large friendly Bernedoodle of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling bigger dogs, energetic puppies, daily walks, feeding schedules, and lots of playtime! I also have an animal science and equestrian background, which has given me years of hands-on experience caring for animals and paying close attention to their behavior and individual needs. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I treat every animal as if they were my own and make sure owners receive plenty of updates and photos while they’re away. As a college student, my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and overnight care depending on the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability so they receive consistent, reliable care! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I pay close attention to behavior and make sure pets are secure on walks and comfortable in their environment. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing while they’re in my care. I am also Cat and Dog CPR certified in case of emergency!
“Talia and Austin are the kindest people around and our dog is so well taken care of. Our dog has so much fun while she is at their house and returns exhausted which is all that we can ask for!”

Pet 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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Oak Ridge is $50 per night as of November 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.
There are 520 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oak Ridge. About 93% of Oak Ridge sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
