“Stephanie was great! She stayed at our home for 10 days to take care of our cat, Loki, and did such a great job. Her communication was fantastic — I loved getting photo updates and hearing how things were going while we were away. She’s so sweet, and it was clear that Loki felt comfortable and enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy home, and I couldn’t ask for better care. Highly recommend her and would definitely book again!”
About: I have been house/pet sitting for my family for a number of years. This includes going on walks, feeding in the morning and night, bedtime routines, etc. I have started using Rover recently, and have had numerous gigs dropping in a couple times a day, going on walks, or even staying at the house through the duration of the trip. I do work a full time job so you can expect me to be gone about 8 hours during the day, but that doesn’t prevent me from providing care before and after work. I am currently able to provide dog walking or drop in visit services before and after I go to and get off from work! I am super excited to be able to do this I am pretty good at following instructions, so whatever your pet may need I can usually accommodate! Taking walks on their favorite path, playing with them in a fenced yard, crating them back up before I leave, cleaning up any messes, feeding them routinely, etc. Of course I will communicate regularly if you want me to as well, and will definitely ask questions if needed.
“Lauren was great in taking care of my baby! I got updates from every visit, which eased my mind. My cat was so happy to have her check on him. Can’t wait to rebook with her soon!”
About: I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I treat every pet like they're my own. I'm patient, reliable, and attentive to each pet's unique needs and routine. I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention so pet parents can feel confident while they're away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. I have a part time and only work 2-3days a week so I have an open schedule to do a lot of caring for your pet. I have a fenced yard and a dog at home that is playful with everyone.I will also follow each pet's regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by their owner.
About: I’ve had a love for animals my entire life, and dogs have always held a very special place in my heart. I’ve grown up caring for dogs and have always been the friend and family member who loves to spoil every fur baby with extra attention, cuddles, and affection. I’ve also had experience caring for other people’s pets, including dogs and bunnies, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with a member of your family. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make it a priority to provide them with patience, comfort, companionship, and plenty of love. I take pride in going above and beyond to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while their family is away. I’ve always received positive feedback from the families I’ve helped, and I would love the opportunity to give your fur baby the same love and attention I would want for my own. 🐾❤️ I’m a lab assistant working until medical school late 2027. I work in the mornings from 6 AM to 11 AM and then I’m home the rest of the day. I live in a renovated basement space giving your fur baby their own comfortable and peaceful space during their stay. I also have a cat who is very friendly with dogs and is comfortable around other cats. I’m also happy to accommodate pets with allergies, anxiety, or other special needs. If your pet or anyone in your family has allergies, I can keep the animals completely separated during their stay and take extra precautions to maintain a clean, comfortable environment. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾❤️
About: I specialize in watching kitty’s and small dogs only! I have 3 kitties of my own, 8 years old, 6 years old, and 4 years old! They make my world go round! I have experience with kitties of all personalities and medical needs for 15 years and grew up with a precious chocolate lab! Although I work professionally in the medical field with humans, my heart is attached to our furry friends! I currently am on maternity leave, so I am able to make drop in visits daily if you wish all 7 days a week! I’d be happy to stay as long as you wish and play with your fur baby to ensure they feel some extra love while you are away! I will happily send daily updates, lots of pictures, clean litter boxes, replenish food/water, and love on/play with your fur baby each visit! I will take care of your fur baby as I do my own! I hold a very high standard for my own kitties, and will do the same with yours!
About: I’ve owned 2 dogs, now help with my dad’s dog, have watched several seasons of dog training shows and just genuinely like animals. We have chickens, a cat and my dad’s (once upon a time service) dog with us as well. I’m currently caretaking for my father with the help of caregivers and do not have major obligations during the day and have my youngest still at home with me so I’ll have plenty of time to dog walk or just check in on them while you are away. We currently have my dad’s service dog and I had two dogs growing up whom I loved dearly. I have also had cats and my daughter currently has one whom I care for since my daughter is young. I feel each individual person cares for their pets in the way that is best for them. I will be sure to care for your animal in the way you believe is best!
About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals. I currently have three dogs at home and two of them are seniors one is a little dog and one is a Rottweiler they they are on medication so I am extremely familiar with senior dog care. I currently care for one cat at home who is 2 and have three more back in Chicago two are kittens and one is 16 so also lots of experience with cats old and young. I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.
About: I have 10+ years of professional animal handling experience as well as Dog training. I am Fear Free certified and I specialize in animals who experience anxiety, aggression and reactivity. I love all breeds and understand their different characteristics. I worked in a anima shelter for many years and with that experience I have learned to build trust with animals who are unsure of new surroundings or people. I have a huge heart and will treat your pet like my own. I am currently working full time as a pet sitter and dog walker. I need to know at least 5 day in advance, If you are needing 24 hr care we can discuss that. I can pet sit over night and on weekends or as needed. I do drop ins as well and I like to know 3 days in advance for drop in visits. I like to set up meet and greets before pet sitting so that we can get to know one another and I can learn abut any medical or safety concerns you may have. I will always leash walk if you do not have proper fence and I like to be out side with them while they are out in a fenced in area. I have worked in a animal hospital and have basic medical knowledge for cats and dogs. I am CPR CERTIFIED and comfortable administering insulin. I am currently working full time as a pet sitter and my main priority is to give you peace of mind and to keep your pets routine as normal as possible. I don’t mind letting your furkids sleep with me so that they can feel safe with me, I also post updates regularly with pictures or videos. I also carry pet insurance.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Ridge
Adara was wonderful with our pets! We have three cats and a senior dog and she was so careful with and attentive to all of them! We scheduled a meet and greet prior to our trip and that helped all the pets feel more comfortable. Our dog is a pretty finicky eater and she gave him extra time and attention during his meals to make sure he was getting enough to eat each day. She administered medication to him each day as well. Her communication was fabulous. Updates and photos on each of the pets each day were very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Adara - she was so responsible and did a fabulous job caring for our pets!
Ashley was so sweet to my cat Cali over the Thanksgiving holiday! She had plenty of tips on toys/tools for cats and made sure to use them while I was out of town on her. She emphasised cleaning the litter box everyday even if I weren’t asking that of her, and sent plenty of pictures/videos while I was gone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Oak Ridge is $12 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $17 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.

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 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.
