“Sarah was great with our dogs! We have one dog who is scared of new people and needs a couple introductions to get comfortable and she took it in stride and did great with her. We will definitely book with her again.”

About: Hey there! I'm your go-to pet sitter with a decade of experience working with all kinds of furry friends. From dogs to cats, I've got you covered. Need medication administration? No problem! With my expertise, your pets are in safe hands. When I'm not caring for your adorable companions, you can find me enjoying the company of my own two dogs and three cats. And guess what? I've got a fantastic fenced-in yard perfect for playtime! Let's give your pets the love and care they deserve. I’m currently a student at the University of Tennessee so I am available most afternoons and very early mornings. I also am home every evening for the entire night so overnight boarding is available. I am also completely free on weekends so if you want to have a date night, a shopping run, or just need someone to watch your babies while you take a well deserved nap, I got you! At home pets will be taken care of by preference or directions from the pet owner. I have multiple rooms in the house so if there are some older pals or some friends that are just a little more introverted, they will be made to feel as comfortable as possible with some one on one time to avoid over stimulation. I can take them on walks or let them play in the yard alone with my supervision. For those fluffy balls of energy that need more stimulation, my dogs and cats LOVE to play and run to their hearts content! My dogs are very social and have their whole lives experience playing and meeting new animals! Whether it’s playtime and long walks or cuddles and naps I am able to cater to your pets needs so that you can sit back and relax worry free!

“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 am an experienced pet owner! I grew up with dogs, ferrets, snakes, lizards, fish, frogs, parakeets, and much more.

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 provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision, patience, playtime, and cuddles.

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs, now help with my dad’s dog, have watched several seasons of dog training shows and just genuinely like animals. We have chickens, a cat and my dad’s (once upon a time service) dog with us as well. I’m currently caretaking for my father with the help of caregivers and do not have major obligations during the day and have my youngest still at home with me so I’ll have plenty of time to dog walk or just check in on them while you are away. We currently have my dad’s service dog and I had two dogs growing up whom I loved dearly. I have also had cats and my daughter currently has one whom I care for since my daughter is young. I feel each individual person cares for their pets in the way that is best for them. I will be sure to care for your animal in the way you believe is best!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Ridge
First time using Rover, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Adara did an amazing job with both our old girl and our puppy, which is no small feat! She was wonderful with both of them, and we felt so comfortable knowing they were in good hands. She helped us survive the puppy trenches! 10/10 would recommend. We’ll absolutely be using her for as long as she’ll have us (and our two girls)!
Ashley was so sweet to my cat Cali over the Thanksgiving holiday! She had plenty of tips on toys/tools for cats and made sure to use them while I was out of town on her. She emphasised cleaning the litter box everyday even if I weren’t asking that of her, and sent plenty of pictures/videos while I was gone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oak Ridge is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $28 per visit. 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 1,179 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oak Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
