“Thanks for your afternoon with Max. Karen was a big help covering an afternoon walk and outing for our active pup. She was helpful with working out a schedule and getting a quick home visit in to introduce herself. We loved all the text and photo updates and will absolutely recommend and use her services again. Thanks so much. Max had a great time”
“I highly recommend this lovely lady. She is professional, kind, and punctual. I knew Vanessa was a good fit because my dog loved her instantly. We are so happy to have found Vanessa!”
“Ashley was great! She quickly accommodated a meet and greet, and took Jaxon out for two adventures with regular updates along the way including pics. I would definitely book Ashley again!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver who’s always loved being around pets of all kinds. I grew up with cats, dogs, and rabbits, and started pet sitting at 15, so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have a Horse Specialist degree and have spent years working and living on farms and ranches, so I’m comfortable with everything from household pets to larger animals and different temperaments. I’ve also assisted vets with all kinds of treatments—from surgeries to smaller care like bandaging and injections—so I’m confident handling pets who need a bit of extra care. I truly treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 😊 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to adjust to your schedule and your pet’s needs. I have lots of time to play, care for, and give attention to your pet so they feel happy and comfortable. I’m based in Whistler and have my own car, making me reliable and able to travel easily. I’ll care for your pet either in your home or mine during the day, making sure they get lots of attention, play, and downtime. I’m a very active person and love being outside as much as possible, so walks and fresh air are always part of the routine. I live just a short walk from Alta Lake and have the Valley Trail right outside my door, which makes it easy to give pets plenty of fun, safe outdoor time.
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.
About: I had my own dog and trained her as a puppy when I grew up. I have done several house sits with dogs and always had a positive experience. I love going for dog walks, keeping dogs company, and I make sure to provide them with their usual routine. I currently work from home and study so my routine is flexible. I am very active and like going for walks and hikes. I can ensure that dogs have enough company during the day I have a dog friendly one bedroom apartment with a deck and easy access to outdoor space. I can also do dog sits at client's homes
“Michael was the perfect solution when I was in a bit of a jam with my dog Sydney. Upon meeting Michael I had no issues leaving my dog with him. He communicated well and was on time for pick up and drop off. I highly recommend Michael!”
About: My name is Jennie and my husband, James, and I would love to spend some time with your pup! :) We are full time dog sitters and love having a little companion by our sides. I have a hybrid work schedule where I split my time between the office and home (James works full time from home). Since I work from home most of the time your pup will rarely be without a companion, and we available for potty breaks and a walk during the day. I am comfortable taking on long term stays with your pup and home. James and I live in a 1 bedroom suite in Alpine close to Meadow Park. Dogs are free to cuddle up and hang with us on the couch or in bed to watch TV at night. We spend lots of time outside and love to go on walks and play at the park. We’re available to continue which ever daily practices they enjoy and I’ll make sure they have lots of fun while staying with us! And most importantly, we will keep them safe and take after them as if they were ours. July 1st we are moving into a 1 bedroom apartment in Alpine :)
About: I have over 9 years experience living with and taking care of family and friends dogs. I have cared for many dog breeds from large Mountain dogs to small Cavachon pups. I love to walk pups around the valley trail and forest trails that are close to my home, there’s also a number of dog parks nearby where the dogs can play off-leash. I work from home remotely, part-time and have a flexible schedule so I find it easy to fit in pet care. I am available weekdays and weekends. I live in an a-frame house, close to Creekside. My home has enough space for pups to play and relax. I am a 10 minute walk away from the dog park and forest trails.
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve fostered shelter pups and looked after lots of Rover dogs, and love getting to know each personality, giving them all my love and attention. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I mainly work from home Mon-Friday, and love having a furry friend to keep me company. I can always do morning, lunch and evening walks. Happy to also work from anywhere if your dog prefers company in their own space. I do not have a fenced yard, but I will make sure your dog gets plenty of opportunities to go outside. I am about 30 seconds from the dog park in alpine :) I love dogs as if they are my own, and will make sure they are loved and taken care of.
“Jade was awesome with Loki! She obviously loves dogs, and made Loki feel totally comfortable with her. She instilled me with confidence that she could handle my energetic girl, and they clearly had a great, long walk together. I will definitely ask her to walk Loki again!”
About: Hi! I'm an experienced sitter. I use many apps and always have an amazing time and great feedback from the owners. Im love all animals, and I have a special way with them. I'm sure your furry companions would be well cared for with me When I care for your pet, normally it's a full time gig. I don't normally leave them alone unless it's to go to the bathroom haha. I'm flexible. I can care for your pets in the commodity of there home or in mine. I'm flexible in time, as well as place.
About: I have mainly taken care of cats including boarding, feeds, playtime and pats and am wanting to also branch out to look and care for dogs. I am currently working fulltime in the village, however have a flexible working roster which means I am avaliable different times of the day and can adapt accordingly. Am adaptable to whatever the pets needs are. Provide love and care with lots of pats and attention as if it were my own fur baby.
“Sophie was awesome…! We brought 2 dogs up to Whistler - both above 80 lbs (doodle mix and Great Dane). She took them out together and they had a ball. What I appreciated most was that Sophie communicated consistently, was flexible when we asked for a longer day (hrs with both dogs), and they explored and adventures…! Our pets are family, and when we go away we want them to have fun, as well. Sophie asked great ?s in advance (not too many, tho) and was delightful. We would recommend Sophie!! ❤️”
About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 11 years since he was a puppy. Through the years I’ve cared for him I’ve learned so much about dogs. Since being in Whistler i miss him so much and our daily walks and playtime, this is why I’ve joined rover. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Pet care fits very well into my routine because I currently work part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility. I have many days available, especially mornings and weekends, so I can dedicate time to walks, visits, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific routines the pet is used to. I enjoy giving pets attention, companionship, and making sure they get enough exercise and care. I also keep the home clean and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I currently do not have a fenced yard, but I make sure dogs get regular walks and outdoor time safely on a leash.
About: Having already worked in doggy daycare and kennels in both the UK and Australia I have vast experience of working with all different breeds, big and small. Currently settled in Whistler for the winter, available for every service other than boarding. Different length walks available, as well as drop in visits as required. When housesitting, the dog will get atleast 2 walks a day and fed at their regular intervals. I will only walk off lead if the client feels comfortable with me doing so and I have built that trust with your pup.
About: Everybody wonders why I don’t have a dog. In my free time I walk dogs. They bring me so much joy. And they get me out and about. For the majority of my life I have had a dog. At this point in my life it’s not ideal as I use to and hopefully will travel again for work. I was a canine massage practitioner so your pet will get lots of good pets! I am very active and love discovering all the trails the Sea to Sky has to offer. I have lived in Whistler for 20 years and I am very familiar with the area. If would like to know more please let me know. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member(s). I work for myself so I have a very flexible schedule. I like morning adventures in the woods and maybe one in the afternoon as week! Depends on what the dogs needs! I like to meet the owner and the pets a few times to make sure the pets have time to adjust and the owners feel comfortable with me in their home taking care of their pets.
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Whistler is $25

Jade was awesome with Loki! She obviously loves dogs, and made Loki feel totally comfortable with her. She instilled me with confidence that she could handle my energetic girl, and they clearly had a great, long walk together. I will definitely ask her to walk Loki again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Whistler on Rover is $36.63 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 240 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Whistler. About 79% of Whistler 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 Whistler. 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Whistler.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Whistler 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.
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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 Whistler 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!
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.
