“This was our first time using Jessica, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met her, we felt comfortable and knew our dogs were in good hands. She was incredibly communicative throughout our trip and never made me feel like I was being a worry wart. She understood that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful and was always kind, responsive, and reassuring. Jessica took excellent care of our dogs, especially our French Bulldog, who requires extra attention in the Utah heat. She clearly took her responsibilities seriously, made sure they had plenty of potty and outdoor breaks, cleaned up after them, and paid close attention to their needs. She also took great care of our home, brought in our packages, and left everything just as we had hoped. We truly lucked out finding Jessica. We would absolutely book with her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy Rover sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats for over 8 years and currently have cats of my own, including a Maine Coon and a Siberian. I have experience caring for cats after surgery, administering oral and eye medications, grooming, and trimming nails. I’m comfortable caring for shy, senior, energetic, and independent cats, and I provide attentive care including feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, playtime, and lots of love. As a cat owner myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your cat in someone else’s care. I know how important it is to find someone you trust who will treat your pet like family. I take the time to learn each cat’s unique personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. After every visit, I’ll send photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is happy, healthy, and receiving the best care possible. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the day and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits. Because I have a flexible work schedule, I can often adjust visit times to fit your cat’s routine and provide consistent care while you’re away. I understand that cats are happiest when they can stay in their own environment and maintain their normal routine. During each visit, I’ll make sure your cat has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’ll treat your home with respect, follow any care instructions carefully, and send photo updates after each visit so you can feel confident your cat is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Makayla dog sat at our house for a week and did a great job. We felt at ease knowing that our pup was being taken care of. She sent photo updates. She was responsive and communicative and very polite. Will hire again!”

“Mark made me feel relaxed and it ease as soon as he came into our house and quickly made the dogs feel that way as well! A very gentle disposition and quiet demeanor helped our dogs be at ease. Thank you so much for helping us, Mark!”

“Sadie is so happy and relaxed. You took perfect care of her. She is as relaxed as I’ve ever seen her.🐶🐾♥️ The home was amazing you vacuumed everywhere and did the laundry and cleaned up. It’s definitely much cleaner than I left it. Also shoveled the snow from all driveways and walkways. I think you really went above and beyond expectation clearing off all the snow. ❄️ Thanks!”


About: Hi there! I’m excited to offer dependable dog and house sitting services and give your pets a calm, loving presence while you’re away. I work remotely Monday-Thursday, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to give your pets plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and consistent care. I understand how important routine is for your fur babies, and I’m committed to keeping their schedule as normal and stress-free as possible. I’m also an experienced housesitter through TrustedHousesitters, where I’ve cared for both pets and homes with great responsibility and attention to detail. I take pride in not just caring for animals, but also respecting and maintaining your home as if it were my own by keeping things tidy, secure, and well cared for, including plants and general upkeep. I’m single and new to Utah, with no local friends or family nearby, which means I genuinely enjoy the quiet companionship of animals and have the flexibility to fully focus on your pets while I’m staying in your home. I’m reliable, respectful, and communicative, and I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your beloved pets. My goal is always to make your time away worry free, knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and well loved. :) Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work remotely Monday through Thursday, so I am home throughout the day. I’m able to build my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets get consistent attention and companionship. I enjoy having furry friends as part of my day and can easily adjust my routine to meet their needs. I care for pets by keeping their routine consistent and giving them steady attention throughout the day since I work remotely from home Monday-Thursday. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular walks or playtime, and feel comfortable and cared for based on their individual needs and personality. In a client’s home, I also respect and maintain the space by following instructions closely, keeping things clean and secure, and looking after plants or other household needs. My goal is to make pets feel safe and relaxed while giving owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“This was the fourth or fifth time Sarah watched our animals for us and, once again, we returned to happy well cared for animals. Plus we really appreciate the frequent photos she sends of them. We will definitely use her again.”


About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 25 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!
“Kyla is truly the best! She has been watching my dog since she was 3 and I never have to worry about how she’s doing when I’m gone. Kyla really goes out of her way to make her feel comfortable and happy while i am gone. 10/10 high recommend!”

About: I have over 20 years of experience pet sitting and boarding for families who want to be able to go out of town with no worries about their pet while they are away. I run a non profit dog rescue and am also very experienced in identifying medical problems or special needs with any dog that I am caring for. I will give your pets one on one attention and love while you are away and make them part of my family. I am willing to take in special needs or difficult dogs. I have references from previous clients I have pet sat for. Dogs are my life and your dog will be safe under my care. I will send updates during your time away with pictures and information. They will snuggle on the couches with me and sleep with me if they choose to. I do require that your dog can be crated if I need to leave for an amount of time. This is for their safety. Safety is my #1 concern for your pet. Come visit me with your precious furkids to see first hand my knowledge, love and experience. I want you to be able to leave and not have to worry. References are available upon request.

“Caroline was amazing with my 3 dogs! I have a beagle, husky, and a pit/husky mix and I’m always a little nervous with leaving them with someone but Caroline went above and beyond to manage their craziness and give them love!! My dogs loved her and Caroline’s dog Lady! I really appreciate receiving frequent updates about them when I’m away and she was great with sending me pictures regularly and keeping me in the loop. She even took them out to the parks a bunch of times. They looked like they were having a blast! And knowing that means so much while you’re away from your pet! She also treated my house very well while we were away and kept it nice and clean. Definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a house sitter or pet sitter!”


About: I grew up in a family that always had dogs and cats (and fish and ferrets and more!). I became the 'dog whisperer' of the household, older siblings asking me to get the dogs to do what they wished. Now I'm the go-to for family, friends, and in-laws for pet-sitting. Dogs are the most common but I've loved helping friends out with caring for their cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even birds - I really do appreciate all critters! I believe it's important for sitters and carers to be able to read the animals they're caring for and respond appropriately - it's easy for most folks to communicate with big boisterous dogs but I'm also ready to mirror appeasement gestures and minimize myself for the shy guys. My goal is to reduce any amount of stress your pet may encounter while you're away. Summer is here and classes don't start until fall so my schedule is completely open and flexible. That means I can also help out on Sundays! My first step is making sure your pet is comfortable with me. Most dogs are heavily food motivated and just want to do a good job, so some easy commands and some kibble can build rapport quickly. Others prefer pets or a specific toy - anything to build a positive association with my presence. I'll let cats choose how they would like to interact - calmly and politely as to not spook them. A comfortable animal then allows me to safely make sure they are fed and watered. I happily get to socialize and play with your willing pets while respecting the boundaries of those pets who can be shy or anxious. If you know your pet will never be comfortable with me, lets discuss that pets specific behaviors and build a plan to make sure their needs are being met safely.

About: I’m a responsible college student who genuinely loves animals and enjoys spending time caring for them. While I’ve only taken care of a few dogs so far, I’m very attentive, patient, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m great at following instructions, keeping routines consistent, and paying attention to details like feeding schedules, walks, and playtime. I’m also very respectful of people’s homes and can help with small tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants. I will always communicate clearly and send updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands! I’m a BYU student with classes from 10 AM–1 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, and a 12–1 PM class Monday through Thursday. Outside of these times, I can provide dedicated cat care, including feeding, playtime, litter box cleaning, and companionship. I can visit multiple times a day or stay for longer periods depending on your cat’s needs. I’m flexible and committed to maintaining your cat’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I care for cats by creating a calm, secure, and clean environment. I follow all instructions for feeding, litter box maintenance, and playtime. I always respect each cat’s personality and boundaries, ensuring they feel safe and loved. Your home and your cat’s wellbeing are my top priorities.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was born. When I was around 13 is when I first started babysitting animals for neighbors. I love animals more than anything and find so much joy in being with them. They have such genuine souls. I do have another job so I tend to work around that and this! My other job is 5 days a week but different shifts every week! I’m always happy to work around you and your pups/kitties needs! I will happily play with your animals and take them on walks, feed them, and take them out to go to the bathroom. I will sleep with them if needed and help with whatever their needs are. I do always tend to bring my boyfriend along with me. He is a big animal lover and I also do it for my safety as well! We love animals and have 5 of our own!

About: What sets me apart is my combination of over 5 years of pet care experience and my volunteer work at an animal sanctuary.

“I could not possibly say enough about how wonderful Emily was with my precious Penny Lane! Emily was kind, always in contact with updates, and so considerate of my home!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ophir
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,425 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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
