About: I have not owned a cat in many years but always enjoy their company. Even the most unsocial cats seek out affection and attention for me. I have been involved with farming and farm sitting since I was a child. I work a couple of part time jobs in healthcare. My schedule for meeting with clients is flexible and can easily be worked around pet care commitments. I have walking trails and a fenced dog park in my neighbourhood. I have a spacious home and areas of my home can be closed off in order to assure a safe environment when I am not able to be around to observe the pets in my care directly.

“Kaitlyn took excellent care of our two cats while we were away for two weeks. She provided updates with photos for each visit, and was even able to make friends with the one who is really shy and hides from anyone other than family 😻 We could tell that she genuinely cared about their well-being and was very kind to them. Thank you Kaitlyn!”

About: * A little note and update. Unfortunately my mom passed away last year and I have moved to Langford BC for a new beginning. So to any previous clients from Burlington that I haven’t spoken to before my move - I’m unfortunately no longer living there. It was a pleasure to work with you ! Everything else below holds true. Please read my profile carefully before booking to make sure I’m a good fit for your dog. I have over 18 years experience caring for animals. I’m an intuitive energy ( Reiki Master ) healer which allows me to connect and understand your dog’s needs at a deeper level. If your dog is nervous or afraid of new people and/ or surroundings, i’m able to calm them with a little energy treatment. I also have many years of teaching and practicing first aid under my belt, as well as 11years of caring for my first dog Charlie. Over all, I have a tremendous love and understanding of animals, which I believe makes me a great choice for caring for your beloved fur babies. I know how incredibly precious they are to you, and will ensure they are loved and cared for as if they were my own. I am writing a film, doing pack walks and running my energy healing business from home - which allows me a flexible schedule to give your animals the care they need. For overnight / daycare : we live in a coach house in Langford BC - a close drive to Royal Oak Beach. It’s such a beautiful, safe neighbourhood to explore and go for walks. Sooke Hills Wilderness Park is just 3mins away. Note there is a set of stairs leading up to my living space so for those dogs that can’t do stairs I might not be a good fit. I am available to sit at your home though if it’s easier. I’m currently working from home writing my film. My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time for play and walks. Your pet is always my first priority though and I will customize my days around their schedule and care. Dogs are always leashed and well cared for when out for walks. I don’t have a yard or anywhere they can escape from. Their safety will always be my first priority.

About: Hi! I am an animal lover with a lifelong history of caring for dogs and cats. While I currently don't have pets of my own, I have grown up with animals my entire life, including regularly taking take for dogs for family, friends and co-workers. I was raised with a Husky/Malamute and frequently care for my parents' Husky/Shepherd mix and my aunt's Havanese, so I am comfortable with a range of sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I'm active, upbeat and dependable and I take pride in being patient, nurturing, and responsive to each pet's individual needs. Whether it's walks, drop-in-visits, or extra companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am always happy to answer questions and would love to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure I'm a great fit for you and your pet. *Please note, I respond to messages from here between 7am and 8pm. I currently work full time during the week, but my weekends are flexible and I don't work every third Monday, which means I have flexibility of these Mondays. I would take care of your pet in your home or mine and do what is requested of me. I would want to get to know your dogs needs in order to make them feel safe and to minimally disrupt their routine.

About: I have taken care of many friends/family dogs and cats in my recent life. I raised my own dog from puppyhood into senior years for more than 15 years. I’m comfortable with positive reinforcement and training, and offer a safe and loving home environment. There are many neighbourhood and trail walks close by and my fenced yard allows for outdoor activity and hang outs also! I’m a teacher on call and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I work from home when I’m not in at school and at this time I am between contracts. There are many fun and safe walks close by as well as a closed off-leash dog park near our house. I have a fenced yard and no pets currently living with me (except a small fish!) My two older children are animal lovers and are used to having a large dog in the house. I am happy to support crate training.

About: I have experience mostly caring for cats & dogs of all ages, including seniors. We are a family of 3, me, my husband & 14 year old daughter. In early 2021, we adopted an 8 year old rescue Pug mix with separation anxiety, who sadly passed away October 2023. We care for multiple types of dogs. Small, medium, large. Dogs with anxiety, dogs who are dog-reactive, dogs that are blind or deaf, dogs that take medication, either in pill form or insulin. I am happy to continue with any training your dog is currently learning. Our loving home serves as the perfect backdrop for your pet's stay, ensuring they feel comfortable and cherished at all times. We understand the importance of routine and strive to maintain a structured schedule to promote a sense of security and well-being. Spoiling our canine guests with love and care is a priority for us. From cuddle sessions to playtime adventures, we will ensure your dog feels like royalty during their stay with us. When you entrust your beloved companion to us, you can rest assured they'll receive the utmost attention, affection, and care they deserve. I work from home Monday to Friday. I would walk our pug throughout the work day between 20-30 minutes 3 times a day and play time in the house. My work breaks involved snuggles with our boy. Our community is very dog friendly. We have a green space at the back of our home. Our Pug has enjoyed many a day basking in the sun on our deck. We live near the E&N trail near Portage Park where we used the trails for walking our Pug and playing at the beach.

About: I’ve worked with animals since I was a kid, growing up with farm animals and pets of all sizes, breeds, behaviours and personalities. I promise patience, kindness, walks and lots of love! I'm currently working during the part time during the day, meaning my schedule is occasionally occupied during the morning but I'm available all evenings 7 days a week! I have a small studio and although I can't host at mine, I can come to you. I'm very clean, tidy and respectful of my home and yours would be no different!

About: I adopted my cat Bruma when I was 18. She’s sweet, independent, and has taught me the importance of respecting each pet’s unique personality and boundaries. Years later, I welcomed Nala, a very well-behaved husky. I personally trained her to be calm, quiet, and to give her paw and do high fives — it’s been a joyful and rewarding journey. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I currently live with both Bruma and Nala, so I understand the dynamics of multi-pet households and how to meet individual needs with love and attention. Whether your pet thrives on affection, structure, or quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I just wanted to clarify that my husband is not assisting me with pet care during any service periods. I am the only person responsible for the pets in my care, and there will be no transfer of custody, care, or control to anyone else. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine. I start and end each day spending quality time with my own pets, which includes feeding, walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I organize my schedule to make sure I can give each animal the attention they need, whether it is a morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening cuddle session. I also have the support of my husband when he is not working, which allows us to provide even more care and love to the pets we look after. Taking care of animals is not something I just fit into my day; it is part of how I live my life every day. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client's home. At home, we maintain a calm and pet-friendly environment with secure spaces where animals can relax, play, or enjoy quiet time depending on their needs. Our cat and dog are both friendly and well-behaved, and we always make sure any new pet feels welcome and safe. If I am caring for a pet in their own home, I closely follow the owner's routines and instructions to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible for the animal. I respect their space, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to build trust with each pet and provide them with loving and attentive care in a safe environment.

About: I’ve always loved dogs, but between working full-time, travelling , and raising a family, owning one felt like a big commitment. So instead, I became the go-to dog walker for my neighbours! I also spent 10 months pet sitting for a friend while they travelled throughout Europe, and after that experience, I finally got my own dog! I’ve had pets my whole life and currently share my home with two cats and one friendly dog along with my husband and son. Now that my son is 19, I have more flexibility and would love to help other families by providing reliable, caring pet care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry family member, and I’m happy to tailor my care to your pet’s routine and personality. Feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to answer any questions and see if we’re a good fit! I work full time and am available evenings and weekends to care for your pets. I have some flexibility with my job and am able to make arrangements to fit what you may want for your pets. I am happy to come to your home to walk, feed, play and/or stay with your pets. I enjoy hiking too so if your dog would prefer that, I am able to take them on some of our lovely hiking trails.

About: I am a young professional who loves the outdoors. I spend most of my time being very active outside. I enjoy hiking, running or long walks on the beach in all types of weather! I have always loved dogs and have spent many years being around them and caring for them. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters and guinea pigs, mice, frogs etc. I often volunteer to take friend's and familie's dogs for walks in my spare time or pet sit over longer periods of time. I genuinely enjoy the company and energy that dogs bring. I have a life long ambition to care for animals who have been neglected or poorly treated. Apart from being active, I also enjoy downtime/ snuggle time with older/less energetic animals. I have a gentle touch and a lot of love to share for 4 legged friends, no matter the size or temperament! I am currently taking the Summer off so my schedule is wide open for all your furry friend's needs! Please feel free to reach out regarding any availability questions/concerns. I have a large property (a dogs paradise!) but I am also happy to go on as many or as little dog walks/fetch dates as needed for whatever length is best suited for your dog. I have lots of experience with anxious animals or unsocialized pets so therefore I am confident I can keep your fur baby safe.

Paige was so great to communicate with! She was so patient with my shy pup Livia while I was away. This was Livia’s second experience with a pet sitter so there was some barking initially, but Paige did all the right things and Livia was calming down and taking treats from her in no time. We can’t wait to have Paige come visit again and gradually work our way up to a sleepover if she will have us! Thank you so much Paige for your kindness and patience! We really appreciate you!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Langford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Langford is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 763 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Langford. About 83% of Langford sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Before the first visit, give your sitter clear written instructions covering your pet’s feeding routine, medication, litter or toilet care, preferred activities, behaviour, and anything that may make them anxious. This is a good idea, even if you’ve had a Meet & Greet.

Your instructions should explain where supplies, such as food, treats, medication, leashes, litter and cleaning supplies are kept. Include your vet’s details and an emergency contact, and let your sitter know what signs could indicate that something is wrong.

For some visits, you may want to confirm how the sitter will access your home and identify any rooms or areas that are off-limits. Update these instructions whenever your pet’s routine or needs change.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Langford 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!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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.

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.
