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 have experience caring for dogs and cats through personal and family pets, including walking, feeding, bathing, litter care, and making sure they are safe, happy and comfortable daily! I work full-time during weekdays, but i am available for pet care in the evenings, Wednesday after 1:30, and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I prioritize and trust by following each pet’s routine, maintaining a calm and clean environment, using proper leash and door safety, and ensuring pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

About: Hello! My name is Cynthia! I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ranging from small breeds like Yorkies to large breeds such as German Shepard and Mastiffs and several in between like Spaniels and Golden Retrievers. I am comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. Additionally, I have experience in caring for cats and am comfortable with feeding, litter box maintenance, and playtime with feline friends. I am detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care instructions and administering medication, as I know every pet requires a unique approach and care. While your pet is in my care, I will send photos and messages daily so you can have peace of mind while you are away! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine! I work weekdays from 8:00am to 5:30pm, so I can provide morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention before and after work. If your home does not have a dog door, I'm happy to stop by during my lunch break for a midday potty break and walk to help keep your dog's routine as normal as possible. Additionally, I'm comfortable administering oral medications and other routine medications as instructed, and I'm happy to follow any special care needs your pet may have. If you're only looking for a dog walker, I'm available for evening walks on weekdays, making it a great option for those who work third shift or have late work hours. On weekends, I have the flexibility to provide walks throughout the day to fit your pet's schedule and your needs. For house sitting, I stay overnight in my clients' homes so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow animals, I am unable to host pets in my own home. Whether I'm caring for dogs or cats, I'll make sure they receive personalized care, lots of affection, and daily updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care while you're away. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or simply giving them companionship, I'll make sure they receive the individualized attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your pet's routine and your home. I'll ensure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep your home tidy, and provide regular daily updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring, reliable hands.
“Rebecca was an absolute life saver and amazing watching our dog while we were gone for a week! She jumped in last moment when our original sitter cancelled and had our little one in great hands. She is very communicative, a quick responder, and we really appreciated the full updates and numerous pictures with each check in. Would hire her again in a heartbeat!”

“Very Happy! While our Ruby is a anxiety ridden mess Bailey did an excellent job building trust with Ruby! She kept us updated and we are very happy with the service Ruby received!”

“Veronica is very communicative, invested, and excited. I had the best experience with her. She sent great updates and pictures everyday that made me feel like my pets were well cared for. 10/10 would book her again, she’s been so great!”

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 look forward to meeting and loving your fur babies! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently have a cat and dog of my own. I’m also a special needs parent, so patience, compassion, and attentiveness are second nature to me. Pet sitting helps me support my daughter’s therapies and additional needs, which makes this work especially meaningful to me. It takes a village, and I can’t wait to be a part of yours 🐾🩶 I’m able to come walk your pets or check in on them before work then play with them after work (5:30p-9p) throughout the week. And Saturday and Sundays I’m fully available/flexible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision, patience, playtime, and cuddles. I always follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any routines that help your pet feel secure and at home. I understand every animal has different needs and personalities, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family 🐾

About: Growing up I've always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I’ve got experience of 10 months at an open play facility specifically for dogs. I also have experience in senior care and more temperamental dogs who need a little more time to trust. I have a Pembroke welsh corgi who is 3 and is completely spoiled and knows it. My goal here is to make sure your dog is happy and stress free while you’re away!🐾 I currently work part time. I have every weekend off. And 1 day thru out the week off. I usually get off right before the sunset so perfect timing for night walks when it’s not so hot on the pups. (Please note I can only edit my availability out so far due to my schedule at my part time job. I update my availability as soon as I get my schedule.) 😊I would be more then happy to meet ur pup! As I do drop in visits, I will always make sure your dog has clean water and exercise. I can feed any kind of food/medication as I do understand every dog has a different diet.

About: I have over five years of hands-on pet care experience, caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Since I was young, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Along with personal pet sitting, I also worked at a professional dog boarding facility in Athens, TN, where I gained valuable experience caring for multiple animals at once. This included everything from administering food and medications to ensuring safe group play, monitoring behavior, and keeping the environment clean and stress-free. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, senior pets who need a gentler touch, and animals with special needs or medical routines. Cats hold a special place in my care as well. I understand their unique personalities and provide the patience and respect they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or extended care, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to each pet’s wellbeing. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in loving and capable hands. I currently work from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate quality time to caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, weekdays, and most evenings. My schedule allows me to provide consistent walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, an afternoon walk, or overnight care, I’m able to work with your routine and make sure your fur baby always feels loved and cared for. My home is calm and set up to make animals feel safe and comfortable. Since I currently don’t have other pets, your fur baby will get my full attention without the stress of competing for space or care. I’m experienced with crating, feeding routines, and following special instructions. Whether caring for dogs or cats, I make sure to provide a clean and secure environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I treat every animal like family and prioritize safety, trust, and lots of love in everything I do
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little and learned the importance of care needed especially with certain breeds. I personally have a Great Pyrenees mix now and he is my whole world. I grew up with Belgian Malinois, Labs, Cane Corsos, and Brindles. I have trained these dogs before and know how to read body language. I have been a dog sitter for even little fur-babies, such as yorkies and chihuahuas🩷 i love to go on long walks and play games with pups. I’m an ER Nurse and work three days a week, overall my pup gets all the attention he needs with the help of my spouse that takes care of him as well. We do long walks every morning and get tons of play time and socializing at public dog parks in the area. I will treat any animal as if it’s my own!! I take extra care of any fur-baby that I can, they are in my opinion our best friends and need to be treated as such. I will take all the time needed to do walks, play fetch, or do some fun training! If the pup is friendly and wants a friend I can even bring my own fur-baby so it’s a play date!

“Stephanie is amazing to work with and I would love to have her look after Asuna again in the future. She is super communicative and clearly knows and loves animals. I loved the daily updates and great photos!”

“Cassandra was an absolute professional & pleasant to work with. This was the first time we have gone out of town for 4+ days and, upon returning, my dog wasn't upset at me! 5/5 would work with Cassandra again.”

About: I love all dogs and genuinely care about their happiness, comfort, and well-being. I am available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and sizes. In addition to caring for my family’s and friends’ pets, I previously worked for a professional pet care company that was fully insured and highly rated by clients. In that role, I was trusted with clients’ home keys, cared for pets in their homes, and maintained the high standards expected of a professional pet sitter. This experience taught me the importance of reliability, communication, and treating every pet and home with respect. I love going on walks, playing in the yard, and giving plenty of cuddles and attention. I have a toy Cavapoo puppy of my own, so I am also comfortable caring for puppies and understand that they often require extra patience, supervision, and specialized care. I also have two large dog “nephews and nieces” that I regularly spend time with, so I am comfortable handling and genuinely enjoy dogs of all sizes, from tiny puppies to large breeds. While dogs are my specialty, I also have experience with cats and previously lived with one, making me comfortable caring for feline friends as well. When caring for your pet in your home, I am extremely respectful of your space. I make every effort to leave your home exactly as I found it by keeping things clean and tidy, turning off lights, locking doors, and following any household instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that both your pet and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved furry family member! I am currently in a doctorate program, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the entire week. Because my schedule varies, I am often available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and other pet care needs at different times of the day. I am a naturally spontaneous and adaptable person, so working with changing schedules is something I genuinely enjoy. I do my best to accommodate each client’s needs and will work with you to ensure your pet receives reliable, attentive care whenever it is needed. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. I take that responsibility seriously and always strive to provide a safe, reliable, and respectful experience. While caring for your pet, I will treat your home with the same care and consideration that I would my own. I make an effort to maintain a clean environment, clean up after myself and your pet, secure doors and windows, and follow any household instructions you provide. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that looks just as you left it, or exactly as you would expect it to be.
About: I have nearly 12 years of professional experience working with dogs as a groomer and trainer, along with a background in veterinary care and animal handling. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, large breeds, and pets who may need a little extra patience. My experience goes beyond basic pet sitting, I understand canine behavior, body language, safe handling, grooming needs, and the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I also have experience with cats, horses, and farm animals. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, going for a walk, or caring for your pets while you’re away, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I work professionally with animals throughout the week and plan my Rover bookings around my existing schedule so every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. My availability varies by day, but I only accept bookings I know I can reliably accommodate and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine before booking. I believe pets are most comfortable when their normal routine is respected. In your home, I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, crates, playtime, and household routines. My professional animal-care background has taught me to pay close attention to body language, behavior, and changes that may indicate stress or discomfort. I use calm, patient handling and never force interactions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being always come first.
About: I am an experienced caregiver with an upbeat, patient, and kind attitude. I love all types of pets and have absolutely no problem with any breed, species, or size. I am trustworthy and willing to supply you with references that reflect my excellent work ethic. I do not shy away from cleaning up after your pet and I have no problem administering medicine if need be. I am happy to accommodate you and your pet to the best of my ability. I am an avid animal lover with many years of experience caring for animals. I have no issue making my schedule work to accommodate an animal friend. For as long as I can remember there has been at least one dog living in my house. I love them and have a wonderful relationship with mine and my wife's pets.

Dog 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!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Oak Ridge choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Oak Ridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
