“Extremely pleased with these 2 ladies. Took very good care of our dogs. We got daily updates and pictures. Both dogs loved them. Especially my blind dog, who usually barely tolerates other people besides me and my husband. That showed us they went above and beyond. Would absolutely recommend them.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for pets since I was young. As I have previously worked in veterinary medicine I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a pet owner myself, I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your pets are in good hands. I will treat your pets like my own, follow their routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away. I’m currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your pets like family. I’ll make sure your pups get lots of love, attention, playtime, and potty breaks while you’re away! I provide a clean, welcoming environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I always prioritize each pet’s individual needs and routine, and I’ll make sure they’re supervised and cared for like they’re part of my own family. I also follow the owner’s instructions to help keep their pets happy and safe!
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was nine. In the past three years I’ve recently become a cat mom and now have 12 cats on my own with my fiancé. We live on a farm and we’ve been using the 11 acres we have to offer homes to pets that need new environments or random cats we found and neutered in the local stray colony. Through this process I’ve learned a lot about veterinary animal care, from getting care for small cuts and abrasions to CPR to recovering from surgery and so much more. I have cared for cows and horses, though it has been a few years so I would need a refresher course. I love animals and I love caring for them and would love to care for yours as well. I’m currently working from home as a freelancer. My schedule and time are very flexible as I can work from pretty much anywhere with the Wi-Fi signal. I do occasionally have work calls throughout the day, but nothing that usually disrupts any feeding schedule. I have a lot of experience of caring for pets in other people’s homes/ as I’m house sitting at the same time. As I have a home filled with animals, it seems to an environment that might be overwhelming to some pets. I have a lot of experience with animals that need medical attention as I have taken care of many strays. I can handle pretty much any age level from kitten to senior cat, from puppy to senior dog, etc. When I housesit, I usually clean the entire place, including the bathroom and kitchen areas unless otherwise requested. Of course, cleaning any litter boxes needed as well as general tidying, such as vacuuming or sweeping.
“Andrea did an amazing job watching our pups for five nights! I would highly recommend her to anyway in need of a dog sitter! She gave us updates and sent us pictures! 10/10 for sure!!! Thank you so much, Andrea!”
“Ariana was AMAZING! Our sitter canceled on us with less than a months notice. We were very nervous but she was super kind and communicative! Our dogs lived her and we will definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds! I’m very reliable for feeding, walking, and maintaining a safe play environment for your pup! We will be able to go on walks up and down the neighborhood or to local dog parks! I currently only work 2 days at the beginning of the week and am typically home the rest of the time! Your fur baby will be allowed to hang out in my house alone or in their kennel, if preferred! When I am not home, my partner is and has years of pet experience as well! I have 4 super friendly pups that love playing with other dogs in our fenced-in backyard! They are all currently caught up on all vaccinations.
About: Hi! My name is Zoey, I am 19 and a current sophomore at Austin Peay State University studying g Veterinary Technology. I worked at a doggy daycare in Knoxville for just about 2 years! I am able to read body language, groom and care for dogs, and also bond with any dog regardless of temperaments! I care for a high energy dog of my own so my daily routine includes making sure my dog has plenty of exercise each day, while also making sure she has the right amount of rest. I always make sure to bond with a dog and make sure their comfort comes before mine! I never want a dog to feel scared or uncomfortable around me or my other animals.
“Casey was AMAZING! I was so nervous leaving my 9 month old puppy with her for an entire weekend but she was so reassuring and sent updates and pictures along the way. My pup even looked around the house for her when we got back because they had such a great time together! Will definitely book her again!!”
“Patrick was amazing. Super communicative and kind. Sent pictures and videos of the pups. Gentle energy that made the pup calm right off the bat. I look forward to having him take care of my baby again.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Oakridge is $31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $31 per night.

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 Oakridge 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 Oakridge 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.
Tip: 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 Oakridge 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
