“Kyleigh was great with our older boy kitty, and I would highly recommend her! We returned to find him content and happy, and in love with his catnip fish all over again. We will definitely use her again!”
“I am forever thankful we had Breanna taking care of our babies. The fact they all came up to her knowing how fickle cats can be just shows how great she is! Will definitely be using her again for future visits!”
“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!”
About: I've grown up with dogs since I was a little girl, of all different sizes a breeds. No one dog is the same and I like to find the personality of each individual dog to better suit their needs. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends when on vacation or simply stopping by the house to feed, give fresh water and have a little playtime. I'm excited to spend time with your dog! I’m currently work from home so will be able to care for you babes with my full attention! I love to make sure each animals feels safe and loved in my care through play and tons of snuggles. When staying with me, I have 3 acres of land for your animals to explore as well as a fenced in yard for those who would prefer it. I also am the happy over of multiple cats, chickens and one awesome pig. They are all extremely friendly.
“Angie did a wonderful job with our cats! Great with communication and making sure our cats were loved and taken care of. Will definitely book again whenever we go on our next trip!”
“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!”
“Darcy was awesome with my pups, Blue and Kobe, during her drop in! She did everything as asked and put my mind at ease knowing my pups were well taken care of. Not to mention, she took amazing pictures of them during her drop in, I was impressed! I will definitely be using her again!”
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!
“Emily was an awesome sitter for our elderly special needs standard poodle. And we arrived home after a week away to a spotless house and bedding that had been washed due to our dog’s accident. I recommend her highly!”
“Michael was personal and professional! He made sure to ask questions about our normal routine, our dog’s preferences, and made an effort to do a meet and greet before we officially booked. He is great with dogs and our 5 month old puppy Goose loved him so much. He took such great care of Goose and sent us pictures afterwards. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“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 :)”
“We had a wonderful experience with America as our cat sitter! She was polite, professional, and always arrived on time for each feeding. One of the things we appreciated most was the detailed daily updates she sent, along with photos of our kitties. Those thoughtful check-ins truly put this fur parent’s heart at ease while we were away. It was so comforting to know our cats were well cared for and receiving such attentive care. We look forward to using America’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Kourtney was amazing with our two dogs. We had been looking for someone to take care of both our dogs for quite sometime and we were glad to have found Kourtney. She did a great job looking out for our dogs while we were out of town. Her communication in every visit was spot on. I would definitely recommend her and we will be rebooking her for our next trip.”
“Julie and Jay have been our go to dog sitters for a few years now. They are reliable and detailed. They spend time in the yard with the dogs, love on them and take great pictures.”
“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!”
“Chelsey was amazing in watching our cats while we were out of town. Sent amazing pictures and even cleaned up a few mess spots for us so we didn’t have to worry about it when we got home. She was a breeze to work with and we absolutely look forward to utilizing her sitting services again in the future!”
“Candice was an excellent cat sitter for our cat, Lulu! She went above and beyond - from giving Lulu her medicine and treats to even getting her a new toy (which is loves), we really appreciate all Candice did. Lulu is often shy around new people but opened right up to Candice. If we go out of town again we will 100% be booking with Candice again!”
“Prompt, responsable, and most importantly, kitty approved! My shy girls hung around for a peek and even let Megan grab a pic. We would highly recommend Megan and will definitely ask her to pet sit for us again.”

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.
