“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.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm working part time im available Mondays and Thursdays from 11am to 5pm I can check up on your pets and if needed I can walk them You can definitely trust me with your animals I'll treat them like they are my own animals are like humans they need just as much love and care anyone else needs
About: I’ve worked with shelters taken care of up to a total 23 cats at a single time! Up to 15 dogs at a time As well! The love of my life are cats and dogs, so I know I would treat everyone’s animals as if they were my own! I have no limits in my schedule at the moment, so I can be available any day anytime to help take care of your furbabies! I always treat animals with the same dignity and respect that humans deserve. Fenced in yards are great for letting them let lose, but walks are also great for both parties to have a different view and experience. Feeding/Play time are both essential bonding time, as they build my trust, so I always make time to play and roll around with them at their level.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a genuine love for animals. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand firsthand that pets are more than just animals — they’re family. Growing up with dogs has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attention, and, of course, plenty of love and belly rubs! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some companionship, or simply someone they can feel comfortable with while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own dog. My goal is to make every walk a happy, safe, and enjoyable experience for your four-legged family member. 🐶❤️ I currently work full time and have weekends and evenings available. So drop ins for those who work longs shifts I can easily handle. Looking forward to meeting new clients I have a nice size dog park at my apartment complex. But serving at the clients residence would be better so the dog feels safer and more comfortable

I have cared for a variety of cats over the years, including staying overnight to provide care, administering medication, and following special dietary needs. I have personally cared for three cats over the past 10 years, giving me years of experience understanding their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable providing attentive, loving care and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Most of my experience is with family and friend's animals but since having a baby I am looking to fill my day with caring for other's animals even walking dogs during the day.

Whether a pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply enjoys their own space, I provide patient, loving care while making sure they feel safe and comfortable.
“Matt was an excellent dog walker. I received pictures from his walk and my dog sat at the door waiting for him. When Matt got here the dog wiggled all over so excited to see him. I would highly recommend him, very personable, very professional and very kind to my dog.”
“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!”

“Amazing! Came to meet my dogs before appointment to ensure they weren’t afraid when she came. They LOVED her and so happy my pups enjoy Amanda and will be booking again definitely!”
“Vee helped me in a last minute need for a walker. Not only did she take care of Kai but stayed a bit longer and made sure she got a good walk in! Will be using regularly in the future.”
“My pups love Kayla! She is a very punctual young lady who pays attention to detail. I have 2 English Bulldogs who have very specific needs and she followed my notes to the T. You can tell she loves and truly cares about animals from her interaction with them. My pups can't wait until they get to spend 5 days with her when we go on vacation! Thank you again Kayla !”
“Jen is a member of our fam now. Since we moved to the Jersey shore I have not let anyone else watch the fur babies. She’s so sweet and loving. She treats them so well and sends the best updates and pics. If she couldn’t watch them if we had to go somewhere, we honestly wouldn’t go.”
About: been two years since we lost our elderly labs, and I really miss having a dog. I do have a cat at the present, began to do some travel since they passed, which is why we have not gotten another dog, but I do love and miss them, and would gratefully take care of yours. i’m completely retired at this point, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets when I am not traveling, which is not that often so all forms of pet care can be considered. I will come to your home or your pet can come to mine. I have a big yard with grass and a big park right up the street for walks and playtime.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, including my family’s 11-year-old pup who is the absolute joy of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages—from energetic Black Lab puppies to senior Yorkies, including administering daily medications to older dogs. As a speech therapist, I pay close attention to nonverbal communication, which helps me quickly read your dog's body language, mood, and needs. I’m punctual, reliable, and dedicated to giving your pup the same loving care I give my own. I'm available for evening walks and visits after my workday as a full time speech therapist. Whether you have late dinner plans, work late, or just need someone to handle the evening feeding and bedtime routine, I’m here to give your dog extra attention when your schedule gets busy! When caring for pets at a client's house, safety, routine, and security are my top priorities. I strictly follow your dog's established routine—from feeding and medication schedules to playtime and potty breaks—to keep them comfortable in their familiar environment. Before letting your dog out into a yard, I always check that gates are securely latched and fences are clear. On neighborhood walks, I double-check collar and harness fits and always err on the side of caution—keeping a respectful distance from other dogs.

Matt was an excellent dog walker. I received pictures from his walk and my dog sat at the door waiting for him. When Matt got here the dog wiggled all over so excited to see him. I would highly recommend him, very personable, very professional and very kind to my dog.
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 of Pet Sitting in Oak Ridge is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $28 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,331 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
