About: I’ve done dog walking and pet sitting on and off for around two years back home in Australia and have always loved being around dogs. I’m happy to help with walks, drop-in visits or stay at your home while you’re away. I love getting outside for a good walk or adventure, but I’m just as happy hanging out at home and giving your dog plenty of attention and cuddles. I’ll always make sure they’re happy, comfortable and well looked after! I currently work part-time and my schedule is pretty flexible, so I have plenty of time for walks, visits and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and can be pretty flexible depending on what you need! I know it can be a little nerve-racking leaving your pet with someone new, so I’ll always follow whatever routine and instructions you leave for me. Whether that’s feeding, walks, medication or just how they like to settle in at home, I’ll make sure they’re comfortable and get lots of attention while you’re away. I’m also more than happy to send photos and updates!
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved having them as part of the family. I had Forrest, a Bullmastiff cross, who was a big personality and definitely taught me a lot about patience, consistency and understanding a dog’s individual needs. I also have Marley, a little Bichon Shih Tzu, who couldn’t be more different! Having cared for dogs of such different sizes and personalities, I know that every dog has their own routine, quirks and ways of showing what they need. I’m happy to get out for walks, play, give plenty of cuddles and, most importantly, make sure your dog feels safe, happy and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time, 2–5 days a week, but I’ll be finishing work completely on October 13th. Until then, I’m happy to work around my schedule to make things work for you and your pets. From mid-October onwards, I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur babies lots of love, attention and care. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I’ll make sure your pets feel happy, safe and comfortable while you’re away, keeping to their normal routines and giving them lots of care and attention. I’ll also treat your home as I would my own and keep you updated while you’re away
“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”
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: This would be a walk with my dog, too, a very calm and respectful 6 year old Shih Tzu. I trained him using the training standards and public-access expectations outlined by BC’s Guide and Service Dog Certification program. I am happy to share what I have learned! I live year round in Whistler. I work during the day so I am waking with my dog every weekday afternoon between 3:30-5:30. I have more flexibility with my schedule on weekends. Join us! I would transport your dog safely in my vehicle, secured with a seat belt. Yours would be in the back seat and mine would be in the front.
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.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I absolutely love spending time with them! I’ve also worked part-time with a dog walking and pet-sitting business, giving me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m a very active and energetic person who loves being outdoors, so I’m always happy to take dogs on long walks, hikes, and adventures where they can get the exercise and stimulation they need. Whether your dog is full of energy and needs to burn it off, or prefers a slower-paced stroll with plenty of sniffing, I’m happy to match their pace. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs and take the time to understand their personality, routine, and what makes them comfortable and happy. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I would give my own. Most importantly, I genuinely love dogs and will make sure your furry friend gets plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and care while they’re with me! 🐾 Holds Dogsafe First Aid 101 Certification. Because I work part-time as a server, my schedule is highly flexible, leaving me with plenty of open time during the day to dedicate to your pet. I absolutely love being outdoors, so your furry companion will get to enjoy frequent, long walks and lots of active playtime My unit is pet proof, with zero toxic plants.

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.
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: I’m an outdoorsy dog lover who grew up with my own pup for 10 years and truly miss having a furry friend around. I’d give your dog plenty of walks, adventures, cuddles, and playful energy, making sure they feel happy, loved, and completely at home while you’re away. I have three days a week and all of my evenings off to take dogs out for walks and play. I work in a pet friendly office that allows me to take dogs out for a quick walk and potty break every 1-2 hours. I love taking care of dogs and am just looking for some furry company! I have looked after both small and giant dogs. I have a garden, live near Meadow Park and the valley trail for quick and easy walks! Naturally I love taking the dogs for long walks in the community too.
“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 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: 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 :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Whistler
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Whistler on Rover is $36.63 per walk (as of September 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 234 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Whistler. About 86% 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 walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
