“This is like my dogs home away from home. And she has watched our boy last minute too just for the day to help us in emergencies. She’s a life saver! Our dog gets excited as soon as we turn onto her street cause it’s like a doggie best friend sleepover for him. Highly highly recommend. And I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our wild boy❤️”
“I honestly couldn’t be happier. Kayla was always quick with replying, sent at least one photo every day(sometimes a video) of my trip, without prompting first. My dog had the best time at her place. 5 stars for sure. Will return whenever I go out of town.”
“Stephanie was the perfect Rover for our senior dog. She has a very calming environment and is very flexible on accomidations for your pet. We were very pleased with her care and so was our dog Nickoli. He was happy and healthy when we picket him up and Stephanie will give you any updates you feel comfortable with during your pets stay including pictures. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and can highly recommend her.”
“This was the first time Billie Jo watched our dog. It was just over one night, but Billie Jo was very kind and accommodating. She was great with our large dog, adjusting her care to match his needs and routines. I appreciated her flexibility and caring demeanor very much, as well as the regular photos and updates she sent. I would recommend Billie Jo and will use her again next time we need a sitter!”

Her calm and loving demeanor with my dogs and my family gave us a sense of comfort before we even left her doorstep. Joan had nothing but kind words and sweet insight for us. My pups had a lovey stay. Highly recommend. Thank you Joan!”
“Karen made such a great home away from home for our 2 collies that they did not want to leave when we picked them up! It was the first time leaving them in years and we are so happy to have found Karen because we knew they were getting the best 1 on 1 care and attention! She sent us updates and pictures while we were away and they got to go on a lot of walks which made us so happy to hear! 1 of our collies has lots of health issues but this was not a problem for Karen while we were on vacation. Thank you again!!”

“Mary and her husband Bob were so very wonderful for my little guy! My dog is an anxious little guy but was sleeping on Bob’s lap when I got there to pick him up. Seeing Graham “comfortable” enough to take a nap, made my Mama heart so happy. Mary sent numerous pictures and updates throughout the stay. Such a wonderful feeling to know your pup is well loved and taken care of of if you have to leave them.”

Jennifer took amazing care of Copper while we were out of town for a week. She sent multiple updates everyday that included pictures or videos and was very responsive to all communication. I could tell that Jennifer did her best to make sure Copper was comfortable while he was away from home. We will gladly book with Jennifer again in the future.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Oak Ridge on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Oak Ridge sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Oak Ridge landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oak Ridge home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Oak Ridge.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Oak Ridge sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
