House Sitting Ophir

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾”

“Mark was fantastic with our fur baby Sven! It was so nice to not have to worry about Sven while on vacation because Mark treated him like he was his own! Sven is very needy and loves cuddles and Mark fully embraced our big floof! I would highly recommend him if you were looking for a sitter! He also kept the house tidy and did some light cleaning upon our return! We will definitely be booking him again in the future!”

About: Cared for neighborhood pets from an early age and manage my own pets today. Patient, adaptable care tailored to your pet's routine, energy level, and personality. Honest, dependable service keeping your pets happy and your home secure while you're away. Because I work part-time, I have exceptional flexibility in my daily schedule for dog walking, cat drop ins, and house sitting. As an active, outdoorsy person, I love taking dogs on long, energetic walks, or multiple walks throughout the day, to make sure they get all the exercise and stimulation they need to come home happy and tired. For overnight stays or house sitting, my open schedule allows me to give your pets and home my consistent, full attention. I am fully transparent and communicative, ensuring both your furry family members and your home feel safe, secure, and cared for from start to finish.

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 20 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!

“This was our first time using Rover, and we decided to take a chance because in the past we’ve always relied on family to watch our dogs while we were on vacation. We have one pup with high anxiety who doesn’t do well in kennels, and neither of our dogs are great with other dogs, so we were definitely nervous. Sarah completely put our minds at ease. She cared for them and treated them like they were her own. We received updates, knew they were in great hands, and could actually enjoy our vacation without worrying. I honestly think they may have enjoyed their time with Sarah more than they do with us! We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience and would absolutely book with her again.”

About: Spending time with your pet is my pleasure, and I would care for them as if they were my own. As far back as I can remember I have been a go-to petsitter for friends, family, and coworkers and am known for being flexible, low maintenance, responsible, and having a blast with pups. I will follow any special instructions to the letter and will give your pet a full measure of attention and playtime. I can also send pictures daily if requested. I am easy to communicate with, and I'm easy to reach by phone, WhatsApp, or your preferred messaging service. I love the outdoors, so if your pup wants to enjoy trails and time at the beach or in the mountains, I'm your girl. I am also happy to have a cuddly kitty or lapdog sit with me in the sun as I work on my laptop. I run my own online business and work from home, so I can provide around-the-clock care for your pet. My schedule is highly flexible, so I can provide regular walks throughout the day and attend to any special needs as they come up. We'll discuss your pet's special needs and unique behaviors ahead of time and meet to acquaint ourselves. Knowing how your pet will react to dogs, cats, wildlife, people, children, noises or other unexpected stimuli is important to know ahead of time. I can care for any special dietary needs or medications, or any other unique needs your pet has. Send me a message and let's chat about your pet!

“Shanika has house sat for us a few times now and watched our two dogs. She had been our best dog sitter we’ve found through Rover. Highly recommend her. It’s been so hard finding a reliable dog sitter since we moved to UT and she has been nothing short of amazing.”

About: I am a responsible and loyal pet caretaker! I LOVE all animals and have owned or pet sat dogs, cats, and rodents. I walked my neighbors dog growing up and have cared for many animals since. I'm passionate about animal care because not only do they need it, but I also need time with pets! Animals need social and emotional connection, and that is what I give to pets. I am a college student taking the summer off to work, and am looking for opportunities to care for animals! I have a part time job in which I make my own hours, so I'm usually available to care for pets when needed. I am a student and cannot have pets in my own residence, however I am very respectful of others homes and make it a priority to leave spaces better than I found them.

About: Hello! My name is Claire and I have had dogs all my life. I am a waitress and bartender who would love to spend my free time with your fur babies! I have my own chihuahua mix and live in a household with 2 other dogs as well. I also have experience with farm animals including horses, goats, chickens, cows, and semi-feral cats. Love outdoor treks including hiking and camping, and even have some experience with special needs animals. I live in Sandy but am willing and able to travel to make sure the needs of your pet are met. Expert cuddler and treat giver, love to help with training, and am not squeamish about messes. I’d love to meet your fur babies 💜 I work in the hospitality industry, which gives me flexibility during weekday mornings and afternoons, as well as additional availability throughout the week. Wednesdays are especially flexible for me, and I'm happy to coordinate drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays around my work schedule. As a lifelong animal lover with a house full of pets, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life! I'm accustomed to feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving each pet the individual attention they need. For overnight stays, I'm always upfront about my work commitments so we can make sure your pet's routine and care requirements are a great fit. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! When caring for pets in their own homes, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, including large breeds, multi-pet households, and senior animals. One of my own senior dogs has severe arthritis and cannot walk independently, so I'm familiar with providing gentle mobility assistance, helping with meals, and accommodating pets who need extra patience and care. I always follow each owner's instructions carefully, respect their home, and pay close attention to their pet's behavior and comfort. I'm also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for!

“Nerma watched my 2 small dogs for 5 days. She is a sweetheart and my dogs were well taken care of. She sent me daily updates and I didn’t worry at all while I was on vacation. Would highly recommend!”

“Nicole was a wonderful help while we were away, very attentive, extremely kind and professional, with excellent communication. I would 10/10 recommend this individual to take care of your fluffy children.”

About: We're a happy, clean, educated, highly experienced husband & wife housesitting team who love caring for animals and homes together. We've had steady stream of our own pets constantly for our entire lives up until last November, 2024 when we re-entered the world of full-time housesitting. Prior to that, we'd been full-time pet sitters for several years as well as occasional sitters, boarders, and pet fosterers. My husband graduated in zoology and so has that additional expertise. After graduating with his zoology degree, he continued on to medical school where he earned his Optometry degree & license. He left his solo practice in 2021 & now is employed as a full-time Optometrist who works long hours everyday. I am the primary housesitter who remains throughout the day and night with my husband joining me to help housesit during the nights. We have a great deal of experience with dogs and cats predominantly, but also have experience with other pets such as birds, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, snakes, chickens, fish, turtles, cows, pigs, horses, turkeys, etc. Animals and pets have always been a big part of our lives. Although not formally degreed, I studied animal accupressure, grooming, massage, nutrition, health, exercise, psychology, and training for decades. I'm constantly learning and love the time I spend with each and every pet. We have a great deal of experience in taking care of homes and properties as well. We're very accessible, easy-going, young-at-heart, responsible, dependable, yet also playful and patient. We're very clean and like to keep things tidy, fresh, healthy, and clean. We cherish our time in your homes with your pets and do all we can to be considerate, respectful, enjoyable guests in your home. We strive for repeat sits and so try to be good guests that you'll want to invite back time and time again to care for your home and pets while you're away. We can offer a variety of additional services related to the care of your pets and home if desired. We look forward to getting to meet you! We have returned to doing housesitting full time and have done it full time since last November, 2024. Although we like the "one-and-done" petsits, we especially strive for repeat sits. We prefer longer sits, but will consider shorter ones to fill in any availability gaps we have in our schedule. We only do housesits in the owner's home for overnight sits that are 2 nights and longer. We prefer longer sits. We do our best to be good guests so you'll invite us back again and again.

“Michelle was great with my anxious dog Eddie. She sent lots of photos and kept me informed on everything going on. House was clean when we returned and we will definitely use her again.”

“I have incredible anxiety leaving my cat and dog with anyone and Cheylynn immediately put me at ease during our meet and greet. She was very attentive to their individual needs and demands and met each one of them. My pets were cared for and loved on as if I wasn’t even gone. My dog got plenty of walks and play and my cat received lots of cuddles. Cheylynn cleaned up and left without a trace. I would definitely have her back and would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care!”
