“Alyssa was amazing with my cats! She kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I knew my cats were in good hands and was able to fully enjoy my weekend. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!”
“We had a great experience with Hope! She sent lots of updates and our cat looked very happy and calm. She had great communication and followed the care instructions perfectly. Would happily book again :)”
“Mocha had a really good day with Lyndsey! I would recommend her for house sitting: communication was great, she took really good care of mocha and he looked like he liked her a lot. I will definitely book again!”
“Miranda is a nice dog sitter. She was nice from our first communication. She texted me and sent some pictures of my dogs! I was so happy to see how my dogs were doing. I will recommend Miranda to any dog parents! Thank you, Miranda,”
“Paige is responsive, reliable and excellent with Bella. We felt very safe and secure leaving our home and our puppy with Paige, all our expectations were met, and we will definitely use her in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn is a wonderful cat sitter. She was on time, communicative, kind, clean, and spent tons of time taking care of my cat. Besides being all that, she’s clearly an amazing animal person. She did an amazing job and was perfect from start to finish, going above and beyond what I asked. Thank you so much Kaitlyn.”
“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!”
“Madison took such wonderful care of Churro today! 🐾 She kept me updated with photos, spent lots of time playing with him, and I could instantly tell how much he adores her. It made me feel so at ease — I was actually able to enjoy my day without a single worry. Thank you so much, Madison — we really appreciate you! 💛”
“We had an amazing experience leaving our senior beagle Elliott in Maia's care. It was our first time having a sitter, and Maia not only put us at ease about the whole process but went above and beyond our expectations. Elliott instantly gravitated to her, you can always tell when someone truly loves animals. He was so happy to stick with his routine and Maia took great care to understand his quirky personality. She was professional, sent regular updates, and was quick to reply (even before our booking). We'd gladly entrust Elliott to her care in future and recommend to others.”
“When I arrived home Norah & Strummer were calm, relaxed and happy. Christi was everything they needed while I was away. She communicated regularly with pics and comments. I would definitely hire Christi again to care for my fur babies.”
“Catharine took great care of Maggie and Mabel. The pets loved her. Catharine kept us updated with photos regularly and responded quickly. Our house was left spotless, she was friendly and was respectful. We would definitely book her again. She’s the best!”
“Jason was awesome with our cat and dog. They took to him right away. We came home to a happy, well-regulated dog (she gets thrown off balance pretty easily so this was a sign to me that Jay took good, consistent care with her). The house was also spotless. We’ll definitely be calling Jay again!”
“Alex and Sara were incredible. Missy loved them and had a great time while we were on holidays. Look forward to having Alex and Sara look after Missy on our next adventure.”
“Tammy provided excellent care for both my home and my pets. She made sure my dog got daily walks and little adventures, and I really appreciated all the photo updates while I was away. My dog is a senior, and Tammy was incredibly thoughtful—she even brought a dog stroller so Bella could ride comfortably whenever she got tired. Tammy truly went above and beyond. She left my home clean and tidy, even organizing a few things around the house. I was welcomed home with freshly baked banana bread on the counter and a handwritten note, which was such a lovely touch. We would be absolutely happy to have Tammy back again and highly recommend her!”
About: Animals have been apart of my life since I was a kid. I've cared for and raised animals of all kinds, from puppies to farm animals and small pets. My own dog, Rufus, has brought such light to my life, that I understand the important of comfortability when taking care of animals. Rufus has suffered from seizers since he was young. Through those experiences, I became comfortable with medication routines, food and digestion support, and providing calm energy and loving care during his episodes. Over the years I've experienced caring from many different types of animals, including cats, fish, hamsters, sugar gliders, farm dogs and other small pets. I think each animal has their own unique personality and I love getting to know them, which helps me understand the care they need. It is my upmost importance to make them feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of love, attention, and exercise throughout the day. I enjoy being active and going on hikes and walks so caring for animals, especially dogs, naturally fits into my daily routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I strive to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while owners are away. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent care and help them feel at ease. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos to owners so you can assure your furry family member is in goods hands.
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.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Langford is $55

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!
This was our first time having Hope stay with our large senior boy and we couldn’t have asked for better care for him. Hope is very loving, attentive and thoughtful. She kept us up to date on how Hunter was doing while we were away and she had no problem dealing with his meds, mobility and incontinence issues. We highly recommend! Thank you Hope!!
Reed housesat for us for 4 days with our dog Fischer and cat Vinny on late notice when our usual sitter had to cancel for a family emergency. Reed was awesome. We went for a hike on our meet and greet and he was comfortable exploring with our 3-yr old energetic GSP FIscher. He sent us lots of pictures and left our home very neat and tidy. Would recommend Reed and hope to use his services again!
I’m so happy we booked Jane to stay at our house with our 5 cats while we were away on vacation. She sent tons of pictures, was very easy to communicate with, learned the cats feeding routine quickly, left the house in great condition. I would happily book her again!
Trina has watched our pups a number of times and I have nothing but great things to say. She was able to ease my (very stressed) mind about leaving our very senior dog for a week and took great care of both dogs and all of their special needs. We got lots of photo updates and were able to actually relax on vacation knowing they were being loved. Highly recommend and will absolutely book with her again. Thanks Trina!

FAQs for House Sitting - Langford
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Langford on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 613 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Langford. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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, identity 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
