“I cannot thank Becky enough for taking such great care of my girl! I have never left Baylee with anyone other than family so I was very nervous. Becky let me come over for a meet and greet, was very flexible with my schedule and kept me updated with pictures and videos all throughout the day. It was very apparent that Baylee felt comfortable and was happy to be at Becky’s house. Thank you SO much Becky for making this a great experience! Will definitely be using you again! ❤️”

“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!!”

About: I provide a loving, safe, and comfortable home away from home. With a family-friendly environment, a large fenced yard for supervised play, and plenty of attention and affection, every pet is treated like one of our own. I focus on personalized care, regular updates, and creating a fun, stress-free experience so you can feel confident your pet is happy while you’re away. Working from home and being a stay-at-home mom means your pet gets plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to provide a safe, consistent, and caring environment where pets feel like part of the family. Safety, trust, and love are at the heart of my care. Your dog will enjoy a secure, family-friendly home with a fenced yard, attentive supervision, and plenty of affection while you’re away. They’ll also have a friendly companion in our 10-year-old Chorkie, Oscar, who loves sharing his home and welcoming new furry friends.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 6 and have owned or fostered 4+ cats, 3+ dogs, a squirrel, a bird, and multiple fish. My experience includes petsitting, dog walking, and other care-related jobs, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of species and personalities. I’m extremely energetic and focus on actual interaction: long walks, active play, and making sure pets feel stimulated and happy rather than just supervised. This hands-on background helps me adapt quickly and give every animal genuine attention and care. My current class schedule (subject to change each semester) is: - Monday/Friday: 3–4 pm - Tuesday/Thursday: 11 am–4 pm - Wednesday: 10 am–4 pm Outside of those blocks I’m flexible and can fit pet care into mornings, evenings, weekends, and open weekday windows. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already prioritize being active outdoors and spending time with animals. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with easy access to the river walk, greenway, campus, and downtown, which are perfect for walks and outdoor time. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on a secure, calm environment, consistent routines, and active engagement so pets feel safe and happy. My long history of caring for animals (plus jobs that required responsibility and trust) means I treat every pet as if they were my own.

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. 🐾❤️

My pups had an amazing time with Lisa and were very well taken care of! She sent me pictures and videos. She was very professional and thorough. I am definitely going to ask Lisa to watch them the next time I am in need of a sitter!”

Madeline did a wonderful job in taking care of my cat! She was responsive, thoughtful and sent updates with photos. KitKat was healthy and calm upon her return home - she stayed 3 weeks with Madeline and her two kids. An extra bonus is that they loved KitKat and you could tell! Do not hesitate to book a stay with Madeline, your pet will be loved and cared for with TLC 😊💖!!!

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!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Oak Ridge

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Oak Ridge is $37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $40 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.

There are 399 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Oak Ridge. About 96% of Oak Ridge sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
