“Christina is a rare and talented gem who gives incredibly thorough and tender care to our furbabies. The peace of mind she provides when we’re away is unparalleled, especially as our one kitty is newly diabetic. He’s also a very shy guy and she quickly mastered issuing his oral pill. All 3 kitties and our exuberant doggo pretty much immediately took to Christina. She’s truly an animal whisperer and an extremely reliable support for us. We are beyond grateful for Christina and highly recommend her!”
“Nicoletta is truly amazing and trusting when it came to watching my pup for a week long! My pup is very young and could be a bit hard to handle as he is very big but there was no problem whatsoever and he was very happy with nicoletta as a caretaker! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter as Nicoletta is great and loving with dogs. I received updates and reviews of how the visits went and I could not be happier with how great everything went. I cannot thank her enough for being there and so kind to my Jay!”
“Breanna was such a life saver for my last minute request. She was responsive, kind and very loving to my aunts pets. She asked so many questions to assure me that she did everything correctly. I appreciate how many pictures and updates were sent. Trustworthy and so kind”
“The best! The boys loved Julianna and warmed up to her right away! She is super experienced with all different dogs from all walks of life! Felt so comfortable with her watching over the boys! Would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.”
“Kasper is wonderful to our two dogs, and is so attentive and loves them like we do! We’ve had Kasper house sit twice, and one upcoming as well as a drop in! Wonderful all around!”
“Shannon was very good. She asked whatever questions necessary to take good care of my pups. She was great, taking my request the same day I needed her. Quick responses and definitely reliable!!”
“Pamela did a great job caring for my 2 cats! She sent us detailed updates and photos each visit. She cares for the cats like they were her own and was very patient and kind with them. We will definitely be booking her again next time that we travel. Thanks again!”
“Sophia is so great! I will continue to check with her first whenever we go out of town. She takes such great care of the animals and the house and her communication is top tier.”
“Megan was amazing, my cats are shy but she managed to get them both to come out for her at her first visit, sent pics and updates each visit which is so great for your piece of mind when you are away and knowing your pets are ok! Very professional and caring, highly recommend! Just booked another stay with Megan!”
“Amanda was amazing with our dogs, Milo and Lady. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. You can tell she truly cares about animals and treats them like her own. Both dogs can be a bit of a handful, but Amanda handled everything with patience and ease. When we got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. She’s reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pets, but Amanda exceeded every expectation. We’d absolutely have her watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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+++”
“My cat is always excited when Gabby comes to visit! He’s a social kitty and loves playtime and cuddles. Gabby is professional, friendly, communicated well, and always cares for my kitty well. I know Clancy is in good hands with her!”
“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!”
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.

“Joyce was absolutely incredible. I needed a last-minute sitter who would be able to administer both oral and ophthalmic medications to my cat, Charlie. She didn’t even hesitate and said she’d be able to do it. She came twice a day and kept me updated with both pictures and texts to let me know Charlie’s improvements while I was away. I knew he was in great, loving hands. I wish I had found her sooner! I will be reaching out to her again when I need a sitter. She’s the best!”

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 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 2,430 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
