“Our dog took to Joan immediately and we picked up a happy fur baby. The regular updates with pics (including holiday-themed) were much appreciated. Everything was cleaned and ready to go when we arrived. Jasper will be back to enjoy time with Joan. Thank you!!”

“I’ve left Harry with her several times, and each time he gets so excited to see her. It’s clear how happy he is at her place. Today, when I went to pick him up, he didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave—he must’ve had such a great time! Thank you so much for always taking such good care of him!”

“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!!”

“Avery and Layton were so sweet and great with my dog, Sadie. I usually leave her with my family but wasn't able to this time, which made me really worried. However, all of my worries quickly disappeared due to the consistent communication and photos that were sent to me. I was out of the country without cell service, and Avery and Layton were very receptive and understanding and communicated via the app. They treated Sadie like their own with frequent walks and even some new neighborhood dog friends. I was really pleased with my experience, but most importantly, Sadie was clearly impressed. I would highly recommend Avery and Layton and hope they're available any time I leave town in the future.”

About: I have had pets for my entire life. I have experience giving oral medications as I have had geriatric dogs. Your pets deserve to have as much of their normal routine as possible while their parents are out of town. I am available for full day care on Wednesday, Thursday, some Fridays, and weekends as a supplement to my full time job. I no longer have pets of my own and would love the opportunity to love your pets as if they were mine! I will care for your pets as if they are my own. They deserve to be comfortable in their homes, maintaining their normal routines. I would love to help!

I always feel safe leaving Pico with Sarah. I may miss him but I never have to worry about him because I know he is in excellent hands. She really cares about the pets she boards. Besides I think its like him getting to go to "camp". He makes new friends and has new experiences and its good for him. He is kept stimulated and active. Never have an issue when I bring him home. He is clean and well cared for.

Abby was amazing! It was easy to communicate with her and set up a meet and greet prior the stay. We had a family emergency and she was able to watch our dog few extra days which was such a big help. Definitely would recommend Abby to anyone needing pet care!

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 😍

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Oak Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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. 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 October 2026, there are 401 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Oak Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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.
