“Jane was very good with Maverick and sent me lots of pictures so I could see how he is doing. I have already rebooked her and I know my dog will be well cared for and happy when I get home”
“This is our second time having Karen look after our dog Maya and once again she was wonderful. She is extremely reliable, always shows up when agreed to and responds to messages very quickly. Maya is so relaxed when Karen arrives and when we come home which tells us she is in very good hands. Our house is just as we left it. We also really appreciate all the photos she sends throughout the stay. Just a quick note: in our last review I accidentally referred to Karen as “Sandra”. That was entirely my mistake. Both reviews are for Karen who was fantastic with Maya.”
“Hope has a calm and kind energy about her that my nervous and high maintenance animals responded really well to! She was diligent in ensuring she understood their needs and kept us updated so we could enjoy our holiday with ease. Thank you Hope!!”
“Darcie is an incredibly kind and caring young lady. She treated our timid pup with all the gentleness we could hope for! She had our wee girl’s tail wagging in no time! They went for a forest walk and played puppy games both outside and in the house. She thoughtfully sent us an update with a picture so we would know Sophie was doing okay while we were away. It was such a pleasure to meet Darcie - I know we will be asking her to watch our pup again!”
“Christi was great with my dog, I would absolutely book with her again. This was my first time booking through Rover and the entire experience was positive from our first meeting. Christi is a great communicator, she kept me informed with daily updates and inquiries that ensured my dog's comfort and happiness.”
About: Ever since I was 5 we have had a dog or three in the house. I have learned from a young age how to care for, love, and properly discipline dogs to assure that they know they are loved and yet display the best behaviour possible! All while keeping them happy and healthy. I am a business owner and over the past year I have been able to step away from the front lines and do management. This gives me the time needed to spend with your dogs and make sure they are taken care of while you are away! As I cannot offer services at my home, I will assure that your home is taken care of as well as your dog. Your home will be treated as if it is mine and your dog aswell. There’s not much I love more in life than dogs.
“Susanne did an excellent job watching Raii! Arrived on time, took her for walks which can be difficult at times. Raii loved her . She was very friendly and easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable Very pleased with Susanne and would definitely get again”
About: I am new to Rover but not new to dog walking and dog sitting. I have owned many different breed dogs in my life. experienced with abused rescues and senior dogs I have First Aid certificate for dogs. I will take care of your dog as if it's my own, lots of love and patience. I will walk or house sit your dog one on one so they are well supervised. I am retired so my days are open for walking dogs, dog sitting in your home during the day or over night. I am available 7 days a week. your dog will be well cared for, supervised at all times, fed according to the dogs needs, food, medication, or any special needs. I do one on one walks so no concern of other dogs being in the mix.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me since I was a kid, and I’ve owned my own dogs since 2020. I’ve taken positive reinforcement puppy training courses as well as reactivity specific lessons, so I’m comfortable reading early warning signs in anxious or reactive dogs and know how to de-escalate rather than just react. I’m also experienced handling big, strong dogs confidently and safely on leash. Before having my own, I dog sat regularly for friends, so I’ve got a solid range of temperaments and routines under my belt. I work from home running my own business, which means I’m around during the day most weekdays and have flexible availability for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I can work around specific feeding or walk times rather than squeezing visits into a rigid window. While house sitting, I treat your home like a guest would; respecting your space, sticking to your pet’s normal routine, and keeping things exactly as I found them. For drop-ins and walks, I’m attentive to leash safety, comfortable handling multiple pets, and quick to notice if something seems off with appetite, energy, or behavior. I’m also comfortable with reptile care basics like enclosure checks and feeding schedules, if that’s ever relevant
“Tommy looked after our older dog Marlowe while we went away for five nights. Tommy has stayed with our dog once before. Tommy is very professional and engaged with us prior to staying over at our house. Tommy was very attentive asking relevant questions about any updates since he had last seen Marlowe. Unfortunately Marlowe was ill while we were away. Tommy was a pro and communicated in a timely manner and took care of all that was needed while we were away. We came home to a neat and tidy house and a well taken care of dog. We really appreciate Tommy's dedication and being able to go on vacation an know our dog is in great hands.”
About: I truly care about the well being of your pets, and would love to build bonds with them. I am an avid runner & hiker so if your pet needs to burn off some steam, we can get out of town and rip around! I have experience with anxious, reactive, and blind dogs. I run my own small business so my schedule is very flexible. I can make time for your pet on a weekly or daily schedule. I try my best to build a bond with your pet so they are trusting of me and see me as a friend and caretaker.
About: About Hilda & Greg: We are two active, highly responsible professionals who own our unit in Victoria, BC. We have traveled extensively, lived and worked in Asia and Australia, and we understand that a break is important, but so is the absolute peace of mind that comes with knowing your companions and home are safe while you are away. We care for young to senior pets who require stable routines. With our professional backgrounds in education, we bring an exceptional level of organization, reliability, and clear communication to every booking. Because we operate as a dedicated husband-and-wife team, your pets receive twice the attention, companionship, and supervision. We are a 'small footprint' couple who are non-smokers, tidy, and deeply respectful of your space and boundaries. We love nature, walks, cooking, and reading. We will give your pets lots of love, cuddles, and structured exercise—at their direction, of course! We send regular photo updates and look forward to welcoming your furry family members into our care. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. We don't have any pets ourselves and we operate as a dedicated husband-and-wife team. Greg is retired, with exceptional daytime flexibility and consistent companionship. Our days naturally center around being active outdoors, enjoying urban and nature walks, and maintaining a structured, reliable environment. Whether we are house sitting full-time or providing daytime check-ins, we structure our schedules around your pet's specific feeding, exercise, and medication routines to ensure they are never left alone for long periods.
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
“Shae was an amazing and calm dog sitter. Our dog had never been left with anyone before and she was able to reassure Ollie a great deal. We came home to a relaxed, happy puppy. She went above and beyond taking care of Ollie and our home. We highly recommend Shae for any sitter needs and feel completely confident in doing so.”
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!
“Frankie quickly won over our dogs, even our skittish rescue. She was so good with them that I felt totally comfortable leaving them in her care. Frankie accommodated their many needs and they were chill when we came home! We will definitely be asking her back and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Langford is $58

Ailsa was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of my dogs and made the whole experience stress free. Her communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. She was friendly, reliable, and genuinely caring, and it was clear she made sure my dogs were happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the care and attention she gave them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Ailsa again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!
Karen stayed at our home for a week and took wonderful care of Sugarbeet and Morty. Sugarbeet is our senior boy and requires medication and some extra care, so having someone we felt completely comfortable trusting with him was really important to us. Karen sent daily updates and pictures, which we loved. Sugarbeet decided to be a bit of a grumpy old man and mostly kept his distance 😂 while Morty was very cuddly and really connected with her. I especially loved hearing Karen's observations about their different personalities, it was so fun getting someone else's perspective on the boys! Both cats were happy and completely themselves when we returned, with no signs that we'd abandoned them for a week! 😂 Karen also went above and beyond with our home with everything spotless when we got back which was such a lovely way to come home from vacation. We felt completely comfortable having Karen care for both our cats and our home and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
This was our first time having Jane care for our two dogs, Judy and Bessie, and we couldn’t have been happier! She was great at communicating both before and during the stay and sent us frequent updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got home, our pups were calm, happy, and clearly well looked after, and the house was very tidy and clean. We’re so grateful for the care Jane gave both our doggos and our home. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾
Willow is exceptional. We couldn't have asked for better! This was the first time we'd left our dog Delta for more than a few days, and two weeks away is hard on everyone. Willow made it easy. She sent lots of pictures and videos every day and checked in with us regularly, so we never had to wonder how things were going. Delta was so well cared for and now absolutely loves her. Willow stayed at our home for the full two weeks and looked after it as carefully as she looked after Delta. We came back to a house that was spotless. She even brought in the mail, watered the plants, and kept up the maintenance on the hot tub. We can't say enough good things about Willow. She's reliable, communicative, and caring, and we'll happily be calling on her again.
We were looking for the right person to care for our aging dog and we found the perfect person in Annastasia! Our girl is usually a bit put off with us when we leave her behind but we came home to a perfectly relaxed pup who didn't make any demands of us. Clearly our dog was happy with the care, the walks, the treats and the treatment she received with Annastasia, who sent us pictures and updated us daily. This was our dog's first time staying with Annastasia in our home. We have already booked her again and we will leave without a worry. In addition, Annastasia was a more than perfect house guest, tidying up after a long haired dog that continually brings in various bits of garden materials. Additionally, she even washed the linens we left for her. What a find!
Rejan was a wonderful caregiver for our puppy Toby! She was very communicative, responded quickly, and sent pictures! She also came for a short visit before our booking to meet Toby and get to know our house before our trip, which we really appreciated. She brought her lovely dog Jasper for the dog sitting and Toby just loved playing and walking with Jasper. He was a tired and happy pup when we got home! Thank you so much Rejan!!
We had Alyssa come stay last minute for a trip, as our original pet care fell through. Alyssa was so lovely with our cat and bearded dragon, and had great communication throughout our time away. We felt like we could trust her right away, and came home to happy animals! She left our home clean and our yard was cared for. Thank you Alyssa!
Sara-Maude took such wonderful care of our Bichon Frise, Minnie! From the moment we met her, we knew Minnie was in great hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We haven’t left our dog with someone who isn’t family for many years and we were a bit nervous, but this disappeared after the first hour of being away. Sara-Maude took Minnie on walks, gave her lots of love and cuddles, and truly treated her as if she were her own. It was clear that Minnie was happy, comfortable, and incredibly well cared for. Her genuine love for animals really shines through. She was kind, reliable, and very easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. We are so grateful for the excellent care she provided and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. She left our house in an even cleaner state than we left it. We highly recommend Sara-Maude to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Minnie!

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Langford 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Langford walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
