“Christina did a great job checking in on our two cats! Prior to our booking, she took the time to go over all their needs. She went above and beyond during each visit too, like leaving a few treats out for our shy cat to find after she left.”
“Haley is amazing!!! She takes such good care of our pets and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable pet-sitter! We have used her multiple times and will continue to do so!”
“Shannon did an amazing an amazing job with my two kittens and was great with updates and making sure I knew what was going on while I was gone. Will definitely be rebooking her!”
“Katie is absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my kitties and kept me updated with lots of photos—not only of them but also of other areas of my home that she thoughtfully looked after. I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Katie again for future trips. Thank you so much, Katie!”
“Another exceptional experience with Megan, Megan is the best pet sitter, she is reliable, professional and cares for our cats like they were own. We enjoy our time away so much more knowing Megan is caring for our cats because we don't have to worry about their well being while in her care. Cannot recommend Megan enough!”
About: I believe what sets me apart from other pet sitters is my respect and innate love for all animals. My Mom asked me when I was 3 years old what I would like to be when I grow up and I said, "I want help children and animals.” I have not changed much since then! I am now a pediatric nurse who devotes her time to her cats, a cat colony in Howell and farm animals as well. I have been around animals my whole life, and I could not imagine life without them. I care for animals throughout the day, everyday. I use my time wisely and ensure every animal is cared for in every way no matter what. I care for my pets in my home by providing a clean, safe, loving, and stimulating environment for them. My cats are provided with fresh drinking water (spring water) throughout the day, nutritious food (wet & dry), litter boxes cleaned twice daily and clean glass doors/windows to bird/squirrel watch. My cats also sunbathe on the back patio and enjoy their cat nip as well.
“We loved having Breanna taking care of our cats while we were away She did an excellent job of keeping us updated everyday with reports and pictures of Sam and Freddy. We will definitely call her again. She did a super job....Thank you.”
“Curt was easy to work with. I have a big dog that I trusted Curt with and a sometimes difficult reactive dog. It is hard to find someone who is patient with my difficult dog so it was nice to be able to get away for the night and know my dogs were safe!!!”
“Rodney took great care of our dogs while we were away on only a few hours notice after our original sitter had to cancel. He took the time to call us beforehand to ask about how to care for our dogs and kept us updated throughout our trip. We’ll definitely be giving him a call next time we are away!”
“Thank you Karen for taking such great care of our kitties Ping and Ollie! Your punctuality, updates and pictures were very much appreciated. Your persistence in trying to get pics of my “skitty kitties” was awesome and certainly paid off 😊 If you’re looking for a friendly, highly reliable person who truly cares about your pets, and keeps you posted, look no further, Karen is your girl!!! Will definitely rebook when I need a sitter again. 🥰 A+++”
About: Hello, my name is Judy and I'm a dog lover! I have been taking care of dogs for 10 plus years. I'm a very patient and caring person. My husband and I live in a 2 bedroom house in Ocean Gate NJ. We both love taking the dogs out for long walks and to the beach. We love taking the dogs to the park too. We can go on as many walks as need be. We will treat your dogs as if they were our own. We can also administer medications if need be. If there are special requests for anything, we will accommodate. Let us watch your pups and you will be happy you chose us! PS- belly rubs and kisses are free of charge!
“Pamela had watched my dog during our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and when we went away for the weekend. She’s been very good with Charlie, especially considering he has arthritis and needs medicine and help moving sometimes. It’s a relief knowing there’s someone we can count on to take care of our dog well.”
“Barbara was wonderful. She visited Pangur (aka Mama) even before we left for our vacation. She always communicated with us to ease our mind while we were away. I would highly recommend and use Barbara again. And our Mama loved her too!”
About: I had a dog for 5 years and now have time to care for others' dogs so you can live your life knowing your dog is well cared for and in a happy home! I work from home so I have time to give your pup all of the attention he/she needs. I do this with doggy day care and boarding. I have plenty of room for a dog to wander in my house. I have a dog run in my backyard and I am getting a fence in June. My street is safe for walks (sidewalks) and there is a dog park nearby to let your pup run and play fetch! Of course, as long as you are comfortable with that.
“Lisa was very accommodating when I had surgery and was unsure of the time I would need her until the day before. She was very communicative and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of a wide variety of pets (dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents) my entire life, and currently have two pugs named Cookie and Waffles. I have also worked in a doggy daycare. I am comfortable providing all kinds of care including walking, grooming, watching, feeding, giving medication, and more. I currently am working per diem as a nurse aid, I just finished school and will hopefully be starting my first nursing job in a couple-few months. For now I have the summer open while I am studying and applying to jobs. That being said, my schedule is very flexible and I would be happy to include caring for your pet into it! I currently cannot care for additional pets in my home as I live with others. However, I am open to caring for pets in a clients home. I would like as informative and detailed a description of how clients would like their pets cared for, and plan to follow those instructions completely. I have experience with a variety of pets from dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, and birds, ranging from young to old. I have the most experience with dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for a few months, so I am familiar with the personalities and care of different breeds. My dogs (Cookie and Waffles) have both had health issues in the past, so I have experience with giving oral medication. I also have basic grooming experience, mostly bathing, ear/face care, and nails (if pet allows, my girls unfortunately need a whole team to get their nails done).

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Ridge
Christina has cared for our furbabies many times now and we’re so grateful for her support! She treats our 3 kitties and our doggo as if they were her own, knowing each of their personalities and quirks (including tricks to get our one male kitty to take his meds). Christina’s animal intuition and pet care skills are amazing. The peace of mind she gives us and the tender care she gives to our furry crew is top notch. We appreciate you endlessly, Christina!
Megan is wonderful with are cats, she follows all our care instructions carefully, is respectful of our home and most importantly cares for our cats as if they are her own. She goes above and beyond every visit to ensure our cats are happy while we are away and sends thoughtful updates and pictures each visit giving us peace of mind while we are away that our cats are happy and well cared for. Cannot recommend Megan enough!
Another great job by Katey! She is extremely reliable, very attentive and super kind to my 19-year old cat, Clarabelle. Katey always sends me photos at check-in and check-out, so I can see how my cat is doing while I’m away. She also keeps me updated on Clara ‘s overall condition and whether she’s eaten, etc. I really appreciate the great support from Katey!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Oak Ridge on Rover is $15.54 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of August 2026, there are 992 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Oak Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
