“Vanessa took amazing care of our Finnegan and sent us a bunch of photo updates throughout the day. We would definitely book with her again if we were visiting the Whister area ?”
“Amanda and Thomas are so fantastic with my mischievous boy, he clearly has the best time with them and is very well taken care of. Thankful to be able to go away and know he's on the safest of hands! Thanks so much again:)”
“Eric, his son Edward and Micheala were very friendly and accommodating for our dog. It was very difficult to find a Rover family during our short stay in Squamish but they came through for us. Charlie was well looked after and I was happy with their care in looking after our elderly dog. I didn’t get a chance to see their place where our dog would be staying as they live in an apartment, something they might consider in the future.”
“When I was looking to book a sitter for our girl, I couldn’t have imagined her having as amazing of an experience as she did with Stephen. She was relaxed and comfy in their home, and they made our trip so much less stressful by being so accommodating and communicative while we were away. Ika was returned to us happy and we couldn’t be more pleased with her experience. Thanks Stephen and Emma, Ika looks forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Pleasure to leave our pup - communication easy and clear. Kept us updated and our dog seemed to have a great time away. Would not hesitate to recommend or rebook.”
About: Previous owner of a reactive rescue pitbull for 10 years, I am very understanding and compassionate with dogs that can be anxious and require patience and space. In addition I have cared, boarded, and walked a variety of family and friends companions throughout the years. You can expect your pet to be spoiled with love and attention! With a varied work schedule I have the ability to be quite accommodating for the needs of others. I am highly active, and stay very local to Squamish. My house consists of a good sized fenced yard, the river is minutes away, with many trails at my access. The home has plenty of natural light, with 2600 square feet of cozy feels.
“Sona looked after our dog, Buddy, while we enjoyed a weekend at Whistler. She did an amazing job, and we couldn’t be more happy at the care and attention. She sent many pictures of Buddy playing in the snow, and having a great time. I would also like to say how impressed we were at her communication before, and during his stay. Thank you again, Sona!”
“Amanda and Drew were amazing with our dog Santo. We left santo with them for the weekend and they were very communicative and took great care of him while we were gone. We highly recommend them!!!”
“Ollie and Marie were incredible! They sent me daily updates and took great care of Rick - lots of walks, hikes, runs and snuggles. Rick seemed very happy with them and Ollie even made Rick a little bow tie 🥹💛 Thanks for being such awesome sitters. Highly recommend :)”
“Karen was exceptional with our blizzard and kept him for an extra night. She took him on hikes and walks and helped with potty training. Sent us tons of photos and made blizzard feel like he’s part of the pack! They had a great time!! We will use Karen as our go to every time we are in Whistler!”
“If you need the best care for your fur baby it’s Nadia! I wouldn’t leave Fynn with anyone else. She truly took care of Fynn as her own. I know he’s in good hands and I’m so grateful for her care. Will 100% recommend her!”
About: I have looked after dogs and cats for many years. While I don’t have a dog at home currently (my last dog, Iggy, an Australian Kelpie passed away in March at 15 years old) I would like to welcome fur babies from time to time. I work part time from home so I have plenty of time to look after doggies. It’s just my 9 year old daughter and myself and we both adore 4 legged companions. I live on a quiet cul-de-suc with plenty of greenery and snow in winter with a dog park near by (walking distance). I offer plenty of short outdoor breaks or long walks (whatever the preference is). I can provide regular updates and plenty of pictures/videos. I am happy to look after senior dogs or puppies as I have experienced with both.
“Tara and Ollie were awesome with my pup Lou. I appreciated going for an intro walk beforehand. Tara was thorough in learning about Lou and sent lots of updates along the way. It was my first time hiring a dog sitter and not once did I have a doubt that Lou was being well taken care of. Thanks Tara!”
About: I’ve loved caring for animals since I was a teenager, starting with my beloved sausage dog (even if some say they’re not “real” dogs!). Since moving to Whistler, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends whenever they traveled and couldn’t bring their pups along. For the past two years, my partner and I have had a hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal, I’ve definitely felt a bit of an “attention void” during the day—so I’d love to give your pet all the care and affection they deserve! I work from home as a sales rep for a pool construction company, and ever since COVID, all my meetings happen online, over the phone, or through email. That means I’m home most of the time, which makes it easy to give your doggie plenty of attention throughout the day! We live in a house with a spacious living room where pets can relax and feel at home when I’m pet-sitting. Our neighborhood is perfect for dogs, with dog parks and forest trails just a few minutes away—so your furry friend will get plenty of walks and outdoor time! Even while I’m working, I always keep an eye on them to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need.
“Pawel was so exceptional. We booked Juno with them very last minute and he was so flexible as we then needed to extend our stay by a few nights. Juno went on multiple hikes, we got tons of photos and Juno had the absolute best time. We’re so grateful. Would recommend x1000. Thanks Pawel!!”

Vanessa was a fantastic host for Mia! It was so clear and easy to communicate with Vanessa before and during the booking - she was so prompt and clear in replies. Plus, Vanessa sent some very cute photos of Mia as a nice bonus :-) Would absolutely love to have Mia stay with Vanessa again!
Billie had a great time with Holly. Lots of adventures, cuddles and quiet time. Exactly what she needs. I was a bit apprehensive as Billie can be anxious sometimes and this was a big change for her. But Holly knew what to do and both Billie and I were at ease for the week.
Jennie was absolutely fabulous! She took amazing care of our elderly dog , Lax. Jennie kept us updated throughout our trip, made sure he took his medication, and even gave him a bath. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We highly recommend Jennie!
it was Brodie’s first sleepover at Hillary‘s. She is just so caring and gave me lots of feedback while he was there, which is always so reassuring .(Brodie is a Yorkie, and he has a big personality.!)Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of him. I felt like Brodie was in great hands the whole time !
I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitters, Billy and couldn’t recommend him more. He truly treated my dog, Molly like she was his own. She went on lots of walks, got plenty of attention, and looked completely happy and relaxed the entire time. He sent regular photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I enjoyed skiing with family. One of my favorites was a photo of her rolling on her back, completely carefree and clearly feeling right at home. His communication was excellent from start to finish. Thank you again for taking such great care of my girl!
Tyler (and his wife) were amazing. We needed someone on super short term notice and they took our pup Scooby in within hours. They took extra care of him with his injury and gave him all his medications on time. As he’s a puppy (an exceptionally high maintenance one at that) they had a lot of patience for him and were great at helping him be the best boy. Would definitely use them again and highly reccomend to anyone in Whistler that needs animal care!
Wow, what a lucky find to come across Arvid and for our first Rover experience as well! Incredibly generous with Maple with many walks, adventures and plays. I appreciated the photos and updates- excellent communication throughout. Highly recommend, Arvid will be a Maple buddy forever!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Whistler on Rover is $106.23 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Whistler home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favourite hang-out spots in your Whistler
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
