“Meagan was wonderful! She took great care of our cats and was even able to pet our outside cat. He usually very skittish but did great with Meagan. Meagan was very communicative and kept us in the loop the entire time we were gone. She was respectful of our home and took care of it nicely, as well. We look forward to having Meagan sit for us again. We highly recommend Meagan!”
“Zoe was great with our three dogs! One of our pups has special needs and another needs medication, and she handled everything really well. She kept us updated with pictures and communicated throughout the stay, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. The dogs were happy, well cared for, and the house looked great when we got home. We’d definitely book with Zoe again!”
“Dominic was amazing. He was kind, respectful and responded promptly. One of my dogs has high anxiety and tends to hide from sitters, with him it is not an issue. He made sure they were played with, felt comfortable, and that they got more than enough attention. It was obvious that the dogs were happy and after we got home they promptly fell asleep after the excitement of our return wore out. Both of the dogs are very hyper and usually take a long walk before bed.”
About: I am passionate about animals and have years of experience walking and caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I ensure every walk is safe, active, and tailored to your dog's energy level. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages for complete peace of mind. Pet care is my daily schedule hahaha I have open availability for dog walking and house visits during mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I dedicate quality time to make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, and proper feeding on time. I treat your home and your pets with respect and care. I make sure your pets stay safe in their familiar environment by sticking to their usual routine, securing all entrances, and avoiding risky situations on walks. You can expect clear communication and regular photo updates during every visit.
About: Growing up, animals were always a big part of my life. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, chinchillas, rabbits, turtles, frogs, ducks, and chicks. Being around so many different animals taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and understanding of each animal’s unique personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, providing meals and fresh water, giving them attention and affection, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow their specific care instructions. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands while you’re away! I do work full time so this is definitely more of a part time job for me :) but I will work best with you as my schedule allows! Im over the top when it comes to love and caring for animals so I will make sure to meet the necessary standards on making you feel comfortable and safe leaving your animals in my care.
“My Bandit loves Aiden! He is great with dogs and so dependable. After staying with my dog for 10 days, he left the house in perfect condition. I will use him often and highly recommend him.”
“Tara watches my dog Yarra and my two cats when I was out of town for Christmas and she did a wonderful job caring for my pets. She was kind, attentive, and a great communicator sending lots of messages and pictures. Thank you, Tara!”
About: Hi my name is Blair! I have grown up with dogs all around me, and I love it! Dogs are such sweet, kind animals that I love to care for. When I care for your dog they will be in the best hands possible, I will do everything you ask of me and more. I’d be comfortable staying at your home or welcoming your pet into my home, I’m very dependable, trustworthy and energetic. I really hope to hear from you soon, and that we are a good match for eachother! Thank you ! I am currently working full time, I have a flexible schedule and can even work from home some days. Therefore I would be available during the week and on the weekend so care for your dog. I have a fenced in yard and a big walking trail new my house. My dog loves to go on walks, play outside and lay with there humans!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs from my previous work at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning, and providing plenty of attention and supervision. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs, and I always treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I have a dog of my own, so pet care is naturally part of my everyday routine. From morning walks and feeding to playtime, training, and evening wind-downs, I’m always hands-on and attentive. Caring for my dog has taught me consistency, patience, and the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and engaged—skills I bring to every animal I look after. I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent, making sure they’re fed, walked, and comfortable, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely and keep the environment safe, clean, and familiar so each pet feels relaxed and well cared for.
“Adriana did a fantastic job caring for my dogs. This was a challenging assignment because my dogs are very high energy and it rained quite a bit while she was sitting. I came home to a spotless home and clean happy dogs. Towels to dry the dogs were washed and folded as were the bed sheets. I couldn't be happier with the service she provided. I will certainly use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Larisa was EXCEPTIONAL! She stayed at my home with my dogs (3 of them). She played outside with them everyday and was in constant contact with me. My dogs are very spoiled and usually take days to warm up to someone. They were her best friends within hours of me leaving. She really went above and beyond. They were sad to see her leave and waited at the door to see if she would come back. I will definitely be using Larisa again. My only issue is my dogs love her too much 😂 especially my border collie who got more playtime in the 5 days I was gone than see normally does in a month! Very attentive and loving pet sitter.”
“OMG, Bethany is amazing. First, she read the instructions and asked really good questions. Throughout her stay, she kept me up to date, spoiled my dog with double walks, and even gave Buddy a bath. Buddy was calm and content when I got home. I wish I could go another trip so Bethany could dog sit again.”
“Amazing service!!! She tended to my fur babies with so much love.. Vintage didn’t want to leave her arms, he typically isn’t the affectionate one. I received daily updates and was able to enjoy my getaway with no worries.”
“This is my second time using Sherry. As soon as she got to my house all of my babies were so excited and happy to see her. They absolutely love her!! She obviously treats them very well and sounds like she spoils them. I highly recommend her”
“Jazmin was great! She was a huge help in taking care of our dogs for us as we were away from home. It was very reassuring to know that someone was watching our pups as they had not yet settled into our new home. I would highly recommend her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Ridge North
I was very anxious about leaving 4 cats at home with a sitter. One requires daily meds & two require staying separated & switch rooms every couple of days. We also have a very active needy Devon Rex. Caitlin was outstanding & calmed my fears instantly. She is very capable & the cats all loved her. She sent several updates with pictures. She is the best!
Bettina is the best dog sitter we have ever had! She sent pictures and videos at every visit. She is incredibly kind and our dogs loved her so much. She played with them, cuddled with them, and really spent time with them. I can not recommend her enough. She is wonderful!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for Bentley! Stacy stayed in our home with him while we were away, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and trustworthy hands. She took such great care of Bentley and were incredibly respectful of our home. She kept us updated, gave Bentley lots of love and attention, and made sure he stayed comfortable and happy throughout our time away. Coming home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a home exactly as we left it meant so much to us. We are so grateful and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy. We will definitely be booking with Stacy again!
Malachi was wonderful! He house sitting our two dogs for a week and everything went so well! He sent us pictures and kept us updated. We highly recommend Malachi, our crazy dogs absolutely love him. He is a great dog sitter, very respectful and responsible.
Victoria is always our first call when we have to be away. We trust her 100% with our kitty and our house. Our cat is the one who tells us that she's a great sitter--Victoria is the only sitter we've ever had where our cat doesn't act "mad" at us after we return home! (If you have a cat, you know what I mean.) I am going to keep listening to my cat and calling Victoria! She also has fantastic communication and is very professional--all our interactions with her are a pleasure.
Clara took great care of our three dogs, including one with special needs. She stayed in communication with us, sent updates, and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Our dogs were happy and well cared for, and our home was in perfect shape when we returned. We would absolutely book her again!
Nicole and her husband came to visit the dogs beforehand and are very nice people! Took a little too long to reply for us at some times but kept us updated as things arose. We had some damage, from the dogs that was communicated to us, on the baseboards that were a little excessive so we were a little upset about that. The house was very clean when we did come back though!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Oak Ridge North walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Oak Ridge North maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 North 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!

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 .
