“Susanne cared for Sammy for seven days on short notice, and was fantastic. Susanne was super responsive, right on time for the meet and greet, and so kind and attentive with Sammy’s extra medical needs. Sammy clearly adored her, and coming home to a spotless, tidy place was such a gift after a long day of traveling. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Susanne, for taking such good care of Sammy.”

About: Have had dogs and cats all my life, helped others with their pet care. A relative is a professional dog trainer and I have learned from her about disciplining dogs in a loving way. I am semi-retired and am not working at the moment so I have a lot of flexibility with my time. I am physically active and like to go for walks. My home is available for pets and besides myself the only people here are gentle with all pets. I am also available to go to client’s homes.

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.

“Ashley was amazing. She communicates very well, is punctual and reliable, and seemed to genuinely enjoy the time she spent with our fur babies. We came home to four very relaxed, happy cats who were obviously very well cared for. She had no concerns about the special instructions we had for them. And she shared the perfect amount of information/photos with us and checked in quickly when there was something a bit off with one of the cats. Our condo was very clean when we got back. We absolutely recommend Ashley for cat sitting, she is a gem!”

About: I truly believe our pets aren’t “just pets” - they’re family. I know how vulnerable it can feel to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and that’s exactly why I decided to offer pet care services. My goal is simple: to care for your pets with the same patience, attention, love, and respect I expect for my own. I’m a proud pet parent myself. I have a Shiba Inu whom I personally trained, so I have firsthand experience with an intelligent, independent, strong-willed breed that requires patience, consistency, and an understanding of individual boundaries and personality. I also have a senior cat who requires extra attention and special care, which has given me a deep appreciation for the needs of older pets. I understand that every animal is different - some need lots of exercise and stimulation, while others need a slower pace, extra patience, reassurance, or simply someone who understands their routine. When you’re at work, away for the day, or enjoying a well-deserved vacation, you should be able to relax knowing your furry babies are safe, comfortable, loved, and properly cared for. I want you to enjoy your time away without constantly wondering, “Are they okay?” 🏡 Flexible & Dependable - Including House Sitting I am a reputable, knowledgeable real estate agent and property manager, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate different routines and, whenever my schedule permits, last-minute bookings as well. My professional background also means I understand the responsibility and trust involved when someone gives me access to their home. I will always treat your home, privacy, belongings, and pets with care and respect. While I’m caring for your furry family members, my partner looks after our own pets. This gives me the flexibility to offer house sitting and overnight pet care without having to rush home to mine. ❤️ Why I Do This Caring for others is simply a big part of who I am. I genuinely love animals, and pet sitting gives me the opportunity to combine two things that bring me happiness: helping people and caring for animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, cuddles, a consistent routine, patient senior care, or simply a loving person nearby while you're gone, I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and secure. 📍I’m based in Langford and have a vehicle, so I’m happy to travel throughout the region, including North Saanich, Sooke, Mill Bay, and surrounding communities. Your pets deserve someone who understands that, to you, they aren't just animals waiting at home. They’re your babies. They’re family. And while they’re in my care, I’ll treat them that way. 🐾❤️ As a real estate agent and property manager, I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate mornings, evenings, weekends, and last-minute bookings. My partner cares for our pets while I’m away, allowing me to offer overnight and house sitting as well. I’m based in Langford and can travel from North Saanich to Sooke and Mill Bay. I care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can feel safe and relaxed in familiar surroundings. I’ll follow their usual routine, feeding schedule, walks, medications, and any special instructions you have. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

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.

About: I have been looking after dogs (and many other animals including cats and horses) for 15+ years as favours to friends and family, so I have a massive love for all furry creatures! I have grown up with dogs and can detect body language changes, and know how to defuse situations if they do escalate. I have worked with dogs who are other-dog reactive, and know how to cater our walks to suit their needs without additional stress. Whether you are looking to have you pup join Atlas and I at our enclosed acreage, or would like me to simply drop in to visit and break up your pup's day with a play in the yard, I'm happy to do it all. Currently on a very open schedule due to the nature of casual work, and am looking to continue building up my experience here on Rover! :) I am a casually employed person, so have multiple weeks of time off in which I can dedicate to pet-sitting! Whether you're looking for just a few days, or something more extended, I can accommodate both needs. I have a fully enclosed rural acreage with automatic button-controlled gates, and reinforced wiring along the bottom two panels of fencing. We live on a quiet street with a few school children that commute in the morning/afternoon, but otherwise, not very busy. A lovely, safe, interesting space for them to explore and enjoy.

About: ​I grew up with a rescue dog and multiple cats, and I've been around animals my whole life. I currently live with and co-trained a high energy German Shepherd/Malinois cross, so I'm very comfortable with daily exercise routines and handled her recovery after major knee surgery. I've taken on the sole care of a senior cat whose owner had to unexpectedlyleave the province for a year, I frequently sit for my relatives' cats, and have stepped in to care for a neighbour's Chihuahua when they had a medical emergency. ​I like to meet animals where they are at. cuddling the ones who want attention and giving space to the ones who need it, while figuring out their individual personalities. I work 9-5 in town, have a car, so am open to drop ins around those hours and overnight stays. I also live in a house with a fenced backyard with my good friend who is home during the day and happy to help sitting if you are looking for more full-time boarding. Depending on the service, I keep things pretty adaptable. If they are staying at my place, I make sure they get plenty of time to decompress, utilize the fenced yard, and stick to a comfortable routine. If I'm staying at your house, I respect your space and your pet's normal habits. Because I pay close attention to animal body language, I'm quick to notice subtle signs if they are feeling stressed, anxious, or unwell, and I'll adjust accordingly.

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!

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Langford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Langford on Rover is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $83 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 588 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Langford. About 84% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, 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 .

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
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.
