“Nicole is a natural with animals. Bailey warmed up to her right away. She tended to Bailey's every need (there were quite a few!) When I got home , I was greeted by a happy dog and a house just as I Ieft it. I would highly recommend Nicole. She is a keeper!”
“Sienna did a fantastic job caring for our husky dog. She also did a terrific job watering all our yard plants and she washed the bedding & towels before she left! Highly recommend!”
“Colin and his girlfriend were very attentive and sent us great photos of our fur babies. They were understanding of our dog’s special condition. We feel confident with using them again.”
“Lez did a wonderful job cat and house sitting while we were out of town for the week. There was easy communication via text while we were away. Our senior cat enjoyed her company and care. We returned to a well kept home and we wouldn’t hesitate to use Lez’s services again.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my dog sitter! She was incredibly responsive from the start, always quick to reply and keep me updated while I was away. What stood out most was her flexibility—she easily adjusted to my dog’s routine and any last-minute changes without hesitation. Above all, her kindness and genuine care for my pup truly gave me peace of mind. It’s clear she treats every dog like her own, and I feel lucky to have found her. Highly recommend!”
“Sabrina is a joy to work with to watch our lil dude Nico. Her communication is fantastic and she always went the extra mile to ensure he was well-cared for. We had complete ease of mind being away and knowing that he received lots of love, cuddles and care.”
“Christina is awesome! She took great care of our babies and house while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She sent lots of pictures and left the house incredibly clean when we got back!”
“Amazing as always!! I couldn’t recommend Carrington enough for any service you might need. She stayed at our house while we went out of town for a week and kept in constant communication with us the entire time, not to mention the amazing photos she takes!! Our house was so clean when we got home and it was such a relief to know we could trust our pups were in good hands while we were away!”
“Virginia was fantastic. We had a meet and greet before we left and she was wonderful with our dog. We got daily updates with photos and video while we were away and it was obvious she really cared. She absolutely put our minds at ease while we were away.”
“This was our first time using Rover, and finding Bryce truly made a difference. Our three dogs have very distinct personalities, and it was impressive to see each one warm up to him. Typically, our dogs bark at new people, but Bryce’s calm and confident demeanor kept them relaxed and non-reactive. He made them feel safe and cared for, which means a lot to us. We also appreciated the daily pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind, and he left our home just as we had left it. Without a doubt, we will continue to rely on Bryce for our pet care needs.”
“A week before our trip our family member cancelled watching our 3 dogs and home. We panicked! I remembered seeing Jennifer’s dog sitting ad on Facebook. I downloaded Rover on my phone and set up my account. I looked all through Rover till I found her. She immediately contacted me back and we set up a meet and greet to see how she was around the dogs. She was great, very sweet and caring with our pups! We hired her through Rover which was a very easy process. She sent updates with pictures throughout the weekend. They even all ate their dinners for her which is a challenge for my Yorkie and Havanese. I greatly appreciated the updates and pictures throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Jenifer for the love and care of your pets while you’re away. She’s trustworthy, dependable, and awesome communication.”
“Madison was a great pet sitter! She kept me updated throughout the stay and sent pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were doing well. I really appreciated the communication and care she provided. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Omg thank u soooo much Deanna. My dogs were in such good moods when I came home- soft and happy! Thank you for taking care of everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 one of my boys needs extra behavioral attention on walks. Deanna was fantastic. I highly recommend. She’s a gem!!!!”
“Ben took excellent care of my spicy kitten who wanted nothing to do with him. He is a soft spoken gentleman who eventually got her to trust him enough to play with him, even though there were soft hisses of protest when he tried to pet her, she didn’t run away. So if she was truly upset she would have been gone. I’ll have him back for sure to keep an eye on her and her separation anxiety at bay.”
“Sam watched our dog while we were gone and did an incredible job. Great with communication and we had peace of mind that our puppy was in good hands. When we got home everything was perfect. Thank you, Sam!”
“This was our first time using Rover and obviously our first experience with Fallon. She came for the meet and greet in a timely manner and was eager to listen to instructions and friendly. We were only gone for a day but she took great care of our two large dogs during that time. She was flexible with her time and accommodating. We would definitely use her again! Thanks!”
“Carla was amazing with watching our dog and house for multiple nights. She sent updates/photos and made us feel comfortable while being alone from our fur baby. We will be booking again!”
“Jenna cared for our Ruby in our home when we vacationed— Ruby has never been without my husband or I and is anxious around other people. Jenna was amazing! She sent photos and videos of them cuddling, which made me feel so much more comfortable that we left Ruby in the perfect hands! She has also been able to give my husband and I some tips about Ruby’s behaviors that were spot on! If you need someone with a gentle loving touch who can get through to even the most fickle dog, hire this lovely woman. She also took great care of our home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ophir
Jeannette was absolutely fantastic! She sat for our two dogs and watched over our house, bird feeders, chickens, and farm at the same time! She provided lots of updates and wonderful photos every day, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our vacation! Highly recommend and will absolutely use again!!! PS One of our dogs, Timothy, is a rescue from a sheriff raid situation - he is still wary and skittish around strangers, but after just a few days, Timmy allowed Jennette to cuddle and brush him, telling me she is a true dog whisperer!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ophir on Rover is $69.55 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,175 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ophir. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Ophir 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 Ophir 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 Ophir 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ophir. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
