“Our pup wasn't feeling the best and Hope came in and was able to take her out and check on her, she gave lots of updates and communicated so well! I hope to have her come and take my puppy out again in the future!”
“Was awesome with my Dog, especially with the last-minute request and never having met her before. I so appreciate everything you’ve done and would call you back in a heartbeat.”
About: I currently work part-time, which gives me great availability! I'm free full-time 3 days a week and available every evening for the rest of the week. I like to take my time with every animal to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. I offer in-home visits and house sitting at your location, as I have cats of my own and prefer not to host other pets in my home. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility! I am available all day 3 days a week, as well as every evening on the remaining days. This allows me to dedicate plenty of quality time and focused care to your pet. I take a patient, gentle, and unhurried approach with every animal. Because I have cats at home, I exclusively provide care directly at your place. This keeps your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while ensuring a calm, safe, and stress-free routine.
About: I’ve cared for my sister’s dog for years, handling walks, feeding, and playtime. I’m great with friendly dogs and comfortable with puppies and seniors, always patient and attentive. Pet care fits well into my routine. I’m available most weekends and evenings, and I can also help some weekdays depending on the schedule. I’m flexible and reliable. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for. I follow routines, give attention, and always prioritize their comfort.
“Dominique helped me out at last minutes notice when a prior booking fell through, and did more than enough to make my dog comfortable and me not stressed out. Great communication, quick responses, and plenty of photos of the dog as well as a very kind gift for him as well. Highly recommend! Thank you again Dominique. -Gus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Conor is a great young man. Our dog Rip loves him and enjoys their time together. Conor is very accommodating with our schedule changes, and does what he can to help us with our doggy needs. I highly recommend Conor and rover”
About: Lover of all animals. Throughout my life, I’ve owned and helped care for dogs, cats, fish, birds, rodents, and even reptiles! I grew up with dogs, have dog sat for family and friends throughout my teens, and have provided casual care for friends’ dogs in my adult life. Though I haven’t had the space for a dog of my own yet, I hope to adopt someday. In the meantime, I figured pet sitting would be the next best thing! As for cats, I have cared for my own the past 9 years. I love cats just as much as dogs while understanding the behavioural differences between the two. I live in the West Shore, but commute downtown a couple of times a week for work, allowing me flexibility for drop ins and walks whether you’re in the West Shore yourself or downtown. On the weekends, my availability is very flexible and I am typically able to provide even full time care on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. I have a calm and patient demeanor and always take the time to help make pets feel more comfortable. I understand how stressful it can be for pets to be separated from their people and want to provide as inclusive and stress-free of an environment possible for them while providing the utmost attentive care for their needs.
About: My journey with dogs started early. I have loved and cared for my very own dog since I was 10 years old. This lifelong experience taught me how to read dog body language. I truly understand their routines, signals, and emotional needs. As I grew older, I naturally began pet sitting for my friends. I have successfully managed everything from high-energy outdoor walks to quiet, cozy evenings at home. I know exactly how to adapt to each unique pet's personality. I am currently working part-time and I am available Wednesday and thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, as well as on Saturdays from 11:00 PM to 6:00 PM When caring for pets at my home, I provide a safe, fully supervised, and loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. For services at your home, I strictly follow your pet's regular routine, ensure your property is completely secure, and send regular photo updates so you can have total peace of mind.
About: 🐾 Specialized, Force-Free Care for Your Reactive or Anxious Dog Hi, I’m Laura! I am a dedicated dog walker specializing in caring for reactive, anxious, and sensitive dogs. I currently care for two private clients and am excited to bring my patient, structured approach to Rover. I understand that leash reactivity, dog reactivity, barrier frustration, or anxiety around triggers isn’t “bad behavior”—it’s communication. My goal is to provide a walk that isn't just physical exercise, but a safe, positive experience tailored to your dog's specific thresholds. Why Choose Me? • Safety & Science-Based Training: I am certified in dog first aid and specialize exclusively in force-free techniques. My approach centers on gradual counterconditioning and proven management tools, like cheerful U-turns, to create safe distance from triggers. • Proactive Management: I choose quieter routes, manage distance from triggers, use calm body language, and seamlessly maintain any protocols you already have in place (front-clip harnesses, specific cues, high-value treats). • Under-Threshold Focus: During walks, I calmly redirect your pup by practicing "stop," "sit," and "look at me," rewarding focus with high-value treats so they learn that checking in is always the best choice. What a Typical Walk Looks Like: • Tailored Pace & Route: Custom-mapped based on your dog’s energy, comfort level, and specific triggers. • Enrichment First: A heavy focus on mental stimulation (sniffing and exploring) rather than just rushing for mileage. • Peace of Mind: A photo and a short, detailed update after every single visit so you know exactly how it went. • Consistent Handling: Predictable routines so your dog always knows what to expect. Getting Started Whether your dog is mildly leash-reactive or needs structured, experienced management, I am committed to making their walk a positive experience rather than a stressful one. • Step 1: Free Meet & Greet – We will discuss your dog's history, specific triggers, and the exact management cues they know (like "Look at Me" or "Leave It"). • Step 2: Paid Trial Walk – A low-pressure trial to ensure the arrangement is a perfect, comfortable fit for everyone. I look forward to meeting your pup and earning a place as a trusted part of their routine! I have a flexible schedule with the exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays 11 AM–12 PM (private client walk). I'm happy to accommodate most other times. I provide care exclusively in the client’s home or on walks in or near the neighborhood. During walks I use a secure harness or collar, keep dogs on leash at all times, and stay attentive to their body language. I practice force-free techniques (U-turns, gradual counterconditioning, and focus cues like “stop,” “sit,” and “look at me”) to help reactive dogs stay calm and under threshold. Safety and clear communication with owners are always my top priorities.
“We’ve hired Ramesh several times to walk out our big dog Bernie. Ramesh is very trustworthy, always quick to respond and 100% reliable. We highly recommend Ramesh and Lauren.”
About: I have spent most of my childhood into early 20s rescuing dogs and either rehoming or keeping them for their full life span. I can care for your dog like they are my own! I love getting outside any chance I can get and typically work my regular job in the evenings so this provides a great morning routine for dogs whos owners typically work early mornings and through the day. I care for pets by using positive reinforcement when learning new skills and providing lots of attention and time outside so they do not develop bad behaviours in the home or in public.
“Christen was great with our recently adopted 6 year old husky mix! Great communication and I felt confident he would be in good hands even though we're still getting to know him ourselves. Would highly recommend.”
“So glad we met Sally! She’s very kind and punctual. Quick to respond back and even sent a picture of our puppy having fun! Made all of us feel better knowing he was having fun while we were at work. Tucker can’t wait to play with her again.”
About: My entire life has been about animals since the moment I opened my eyes. Growing up, my dream was to be a vet to help take care of them. That was nurtured by always having multiple pets around that I was responsible for caring for including rabbits, turtles, lizards, dogs, cats, and ferrets and more. As a kid I was the neighborhood’s dog walker. My family Lab had a few litters that we also cared for so I have had many sleepless nights with the pups and have even learned how to start training them! Before sitting full time I worked with wildlife and have experience with handling a wide range of species professionally as well. I just recently said goodbye to my little 17 year old blind/deaf mini poodle who was by my side for his entire life and required lots of attention and medication so I am very well versed with our senior babies as well. Our pets are way more than just animals- they are an integral part of the family and deserve to be treated as such. I currently work 8-4pm Monday-Friday so I’d be a good match for someone whose pets can stay home alone during the work day. Afterwards I am all yours! I can be available whenever and wherever! My goal is to mimic what their day to day schedule is. Having their parents leave home can be stressful enough so I hope to create a safe loving space where they can feel comfortable to be themselves. This can look like so many different things depending on your pet so I’m looking to tailor that experience to you! Any accommodations are welcomed! This is about keeping them happy <3
“Tory has been an absolute life saver for my partner and I who are at work for 10+ hours… she is responsive, reliable, and our stubborn dog loves her and lets her walk him to his fav spots ! I can’t recommend Tory enough 😊”
“Paige was so lovely and professional. Communication was easy and clear, the girls had such a great time with her and we will definitely be asking for walks in the future!”
“Melanie was a great help! She arrived early and Pepper was thrilled to meet her and go for a long walk in my neighbiurhood. She appears to have a natural gift for animals and Pepper seemed to bond with her immediately. Pepper is all tuckered out and already napping. Thanks again for fitting us in last minute. Will definitely contact you for future services when I am in a bind. I appreciate you.”

Vanessa was a awesome from the very beginning, she accommodated my last-minute request and even made time for a meet-and-greet at the park. She is incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel confident that our Nina was going to be well taken care of. Vanessa was professional throughout the entire process. She was always on time, followed all instructions carefully, and kept us updated along the way. Her responses were always fast, clear, and helpful. I would 100% recommend her! ⭐️🐾
I have been using Alyssa for months now and I cannot recommend her enough. She has been absolutely fantastic with my pup. She’s reliable, caring and very attentive. Her communication is excellent and she provides lots of photos and updates. She’s been very flexible and accommodation on scheduling. I know my dog lights up when she arrives. Her genuine love for animals is very obvious. One evening I was unable to answer my phone at work to let her into my building and after waiting for a while she left but came back at a later time to make sure he still got out. She definitely goes above and beyond. You’d be hard to find better!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Langford is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $53 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 797 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Langford. About 84% 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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Langford. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Langford after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find walkers in Langford with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker 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.
walkers 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 walker.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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!
