“Zeke has never been cared for better! It was clear that he received lots of loving care, pets, and attention. He looked so happy to be with them in the fun pictures they sent of him.We have found our dog sitters for life! As long as Emilee and Timothy are available, we will definitely be leaving Zeke with them. I highly recommend them!”
“Billie Jo is very sweet & accommodating! Charlie Boy loved being with her & settled right in instead of being anxious. She has a large fenced-in yard that's easy for senior dogs or those with health challenges. Would recommend without hesitation for your fur baby!”
“She was great! She communicated well and was very accommodating when I needed her to keep Eris a little longer at the last minute. I really appreciate her flexibility and would definitely recommend her!”

“This was our first time to use Caleb. He took excellent care of Koshi and was very accommodating when our schedule changed. This was a great experience for booking we will use again.”
“Andrew is a great care taker of our senior dog. This was our 2nd booking with him and he did an amazing job. Fast communication, pick ups and drop offs are convenient and easy.”
“Devin was flexible and gracious. Our kitties had their own room and were safe and cared for. I would would recommend them and personally hire them again if the need arises. Thank you!!”
“Madeline took great care of our little guy while we left town for a week. He was happy and healthy when we returned. Madeline was flexible with drop off and pick up times and we really appreciate that.”
“This family took excellent care of our pup Blu. Their own dogs are well mannered and lovable! I enjoyed getting to meet them! I felt our meet and greet process was smooth. Nicole was thorough in making sure her pets and ours were comfortable with each other prior to boarding. I loved that Blu had a beautiful fenced in yard to explore and roam. You can tell this family cares so much about animals. I can’t wait to visit them again. ❤️”
“Katie was great! She kept in touch with pictures and text updates each day. She has a big backyard for plenty of playtime and running around, which I know my dog loved. Definitely will use Katie again!”
“Karson was great, she’s communicative and clearly loves animals. She took great care of our dog and cat while we were out of town for almost two weeks, she sent us updates often and checked in with any clarifications she had about their care. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Carrie and her family recently cared for our doggie for a week at their house, and I could not be happier. They provided amazing care for her and kept us up to date with photos and videos the entire time. Our dog clearly had a wonderful time and I'm sure she would be thrilled to go back and see Carrie anytime!”
“Yu very responsive to emails Daily pics, and/or videos Harley enjoyed his stay with Yu. There is a big fenced in backyard for Halrey, and Yu's 2 dogs to play in. My dog has been in the shelter several times, and I like that Harley was able to roam freely, and not spend a lot of time locked up in a kennel. Yu's home provides that, along with the benefit of only boarding one dog at a time. Yu was very responsive to any messages I sent, and sent daily messages, pics, and/or videos. When Harley needs a place to stay in the future, Yu will be my first choice.”
“My two dogs have stayed with Viviana and Brian many times. They are the absolute best. I never have to worry about them. They send lots of pictures and updates. It is clear they care about all animals and want them to have a safe fun time! We will be back!!”
“I’m so glad that I found Lauren! She was amazing in taking care of my two fur babies. This was my first time using Rover, and I was somewhat nervous in leaving them with a stranger. That nervousness disappeared very quickly when Lauren communicated to me on a daily basis by sending pictures and/or videos as to how they were doing. They were exhausted when I brought them home so I know they had a great time. Knowing that they were being very well taken care of was such a relief. I will definitely be a return customer and highly recommend Lauren for your pet sitting needs!!”

Jennifer and her husband are wonderful! This is the longest stay with them for our Larson and he was just as happy and healthy as he can be when we picked him up. I will continue to book with them every time we have traveling plans. Could not ask for better pet sitters 😍

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Oak Ridge is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Oak Ridge can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Oak Ridge home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
