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!
“Bella, Mazzy, and Hagrid rave about the care Julie and Jay provided! Each day we recieved wonderfully written report cards. Bella is ancient and requires a special touch. She got the best care ever! Mazzy, destroyer of all things good, was even good - mostly. Julie saw through Mazzy's lies! She wanted to escape and told Julie it was a-okay! Hagrid was a good boy who really enjoyed the loves he got. We couldn't ask for better care! Highly recommend!”
“Jill did an amazing job looking after my two kitties! She was on-time, followed instructions, and sent updates with pictures from each visit. She played with them and it was evident from the photos how comfortable they were with her. She provided the peace of mind I need to enjoy a weekend away. Will definitely be booking Jill again!”
“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.”
“We just moved to the area and the doggos were a little anxious about all the change - especially since I had to travel for work. Lindsay was great with them and did midday check-ins and played with them outside while my husband was at work. It was such a relief getting the updates and knowing how they were doing, she sent pictures as well :)”
“Karina did a wonderful job caring for our senior cat. She was responsible and had good communication, so we felt our cat was in good hands while we were away. She also took the initiative to clean the litter box without my asking, which was very thoughtful. Thank you, Karina!”
“America was a wonderful sitter for our 3 cats! She sent a thorough update after each visit with photos, gane medicine, and played with them. We had no concerns that they were well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely book her again!”
“Celina was absolutely wonderful! My cats Tibby and Minnow are extremely friendly, sociable fellows, and I saw right away at our Meet & Greet that Celina would cuddle and play with them the way they love. While I was away, she always took the time to give me a detailed update and send pictures (including one of Tibs draped in a feather boa with two toys beside him, being brushed on his belly). I felt like the boys were a little disappointed when I first got home and they saw it was me and not Celina. We will definitely be asking her to come back!”
About: Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet cuddles, I'm committed to providing any level of care and love your pet may need. I've been around dogs for most of my life, including breeds of all sizes from small Terriers and Pomeranians to large Hounds, Pointers, and Airedales. I've spent many years caring for my own pets, family pets, and other animals like chickens, donkeys, and horses through my experience in 4H. Those experiences taught me the importance of responsibility and treating every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to help you feel at ease knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a very flexible work schedule, so I am available to provide drop in visits and dog walks at any time of day on Monday through Friday. Since I offer drop in visits and dog walks, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll closely follow any special instructions or routine you provide. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, cleaning up any pet related messes and accidents.
“Michael took care of my 2 kittens for a week while I was gone. He is a wonderful photographer and sent me adorable pictures and videos each visit. He didn’t only feed them but he also played with them and gave them lots of attention. I can’t say enough good about him. The best!”
“Megan was an absolute gem!!! I booked her very last minute (within 2 hours of me leaving for holiday) and she was able to stop by for a meet and greet with me and my squeaky! She eased my mind all weekend with pictures and updates of my sweet girl and spent time cuddling her during visits! Megan was very attentive and made sure to get as much helpful information about squeaks as possible before I left to ensure the best care! I highly recommend Megan and would absolutely book again!”
“Both of my cats enjoyed Mackayla’s visits. One has always been the one who hides but by the third visit he came out from hiding and allowed her to pet him and play with him! Mackayla is thoughtful and pays attention to your home! BRAVA!!”
“Danielle is super sweet! It’s lucky that we have similar schedules of need vs availability. She loves loving on Captain and I love that they get along great! Very grateful for Danielle and all of her help!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Oak Ridge on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,617 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oak Ridge stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Ridge. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
