“Lauren did a fantastic job with my Chester! I looked forward to her updates everyday, as she left little notes about the kitty's demeanor. From the looks of, Lauren formed a nice bond with my Chester. I was completely at ease knowing that my cat was in the best of hands under her attentive care. Thank you again!”

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!

“Julie was AMAZING with my dog!! I booked her for drop in visits with my 2 year old lab mix and she was incredible with him. She was super communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet through the actual visits. And she took lots of adorable pictures of my pup!! Julie was attentive with the details I left about him and made sure to give him lots of love throughout her visits. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who is looking for a sitter!!”

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 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 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: About this sitter: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician currently working at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. I am the Veterinary Nursing Supervisor in the Diagnostic Imaging Dept. I do a max of 2 visits per day. I have been pet sitting since I was 17, so I have over 20 years of experience now.

My experience administering medication I am a Licensed Veterinary Medical Technician and am very comfortable giving any medications.

About: I have a Goldendoodle of my own, so I understand people like their babies to be taken care of a certain way and I will strive to do what’s asked of me. I do work full time 9-5, but tell me what you need and I’ll see what I can do to make you feel as comfortable as possible when leaving your pet in my care. My own dog, Luna - very sweet and submissive, is aware of her perimeters at home but I do have a lot of space to walk your babies, leashed or unleashed, depending on the dog. I have cameras in my home so I can see her at all times. We do go to the dog park to play/run two or three times a week. I’ll treat your babies just as I do my own.

About: I am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more. I also volunteered a lot of my time caring for, and walking dogs at the animal shelter. Nothing brings me greater joy than watching my friends’ fur babies when they are out of town (which they frequently ask me to do!). I am a HUGE animal lover. I have excellent communication skills, so you will never have to wonder how your baby is doing - I’ll be sending you daily updates while they are in my care. :) I treat every pet like family! I let them roam freely (depending on your preference!), and make sure they go potty and get exercise. I love cuddling and making sure they feel special!

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Oak Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Oak Ridge on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,158 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oak Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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 .

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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oak Ridge. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

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.
