“Kyleigh was so wonderful with our 3 [large breed] dogs. She always checked in with me during each home visit and even sent cute pics [which certainly helped us because we missed our boys]. We look forward to her watching our boys again. Definitely felt at ease that our fur babies were well cared for.”
“Breanna did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. Maeve is very shy, even with me sometimes. Not only did Breanna see Maeve but they even interacted. Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen the pictures. I knew that my girls were in good hands. Definitely recommend Breanna!”
“We love Angie! She went above and beyond this time bc we had an issue with our HVAC develop while we were away and she communicated quickly and efficiently to let us know and help us get it resolved.”
“Darcy is great! Showed up on time, gave love to Luna. And she takes great photos! I was very comfortable leaving my cat in her care. Looking forward to many more visits between Luna and Darcy.”
“Ashley did a fabulous job. She committed to the schedule, was on time each visit. Spent quality time with our baby, took photos and gave us a brief update of each visit. I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She treated Bogey as though he belonged to her, gave him lots of cuddles.”
“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.”
“Morgan has been amazing with my three senior pups! She has been coming for drop in visits for quite a while now and I am so thankful to have found her! She always sends detailed updates at every visit and multiple adorable pictures! She makes sure to stay in contact if there are any concerns at all; I know I can trust my pups with her. My pups really enjoy when she visits and I think they're wondering where she is on the days she doesn't come to say hello to them. So grateful for Morgan and would highly recommend!”
“Nichole is AMAZING! She takes the best care of our pups, is punctual, and always sends lots of updates and pictures! We totally trust her, and are happy to give her 5 stars! Can’t wait to use her again in the future! Thanks for loving our fur babies like your own!”
“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 :)”
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!
“Candice did a great job taking care of my cat Pippin while I was out of town for a week and a half. She gave great updates on how he was doing and I received lots of pictures. It was a pleasure!!”
“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!”
“Thank you for the great care you provide to our boys! I appreciate your punctuality and all the great pix you provided for each visit. I was confident I left them in good hands. We hope you will be available next time.”
“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!”
“America took great care of my cat, Luna! Played with her, gave fresh water, and cleaned litter box daily. She called me prior to her visits beginning just to make sure all needs would be accounted for. I highly recommend her :)”
“Kayleigh is literally the best. My pups loved her and she treated them so well, she sent pics everyday, and I knew that they were in good hands. I hate leaving my babies, but I knew that Kayleigh was going to give them all the snuggles they begged for. My fur babies can be a bit much, they are desperate for pets and can also be a bit barky at times and she never complained once. I highly recommend her for any of your fur baby needs and if I weren’t moving I would beg her to watch my babies over and over again because they just loved her. It takes a lot for me to trust someone to come into my home and even more for someone to take care of my pets, and I would pick her very time. She went above and beyond to adjust her schedule to meet my needs and I can never thank her enough for that. Again I say Kayleigh is the best!!!!”
“Danielle was great and very professional! She helped take care of my cats while I was on vacation and administered medications to one of them everyday. I felt comfortable being away on my trip with her there to take care of them! She did more than what was expected! Highly recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Oak Ridge on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,595 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
- 98% 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.
