“Joanna was very confident and caring with my nervous girl and was very keen to make sure Molly felt comfortable in her home. I appreciated the updates/photos to know everything was going well on their first day together!”
“Michael was a great choice for dog sitting Beans, and was very flexible with our changing plans. Beans had a great time. Would definitely book again if we’re in Whistler and recommend him to a friend.”
“Vanessa was so kind to rearrange her schedule to take Jasper at the last minute. Jasper had a great time and we received some wonderful photos while we were on the slopes!”
“Carla and family were amazing with our pup! We spent the days skiing and Carla swung by our hotel for pickups and drop-offs which took it off our plate. And oh my gosh, our dog was soooo excited to see Carla after the first day! It was so nice to know he was having as good of a time as we were AND that we didn't need to worry about him needing attention and/or cut our day short while we were out skiing. I received a lot of cute pictures. Carla was flexible with timing and having our dog in day care really made the trip relaxing. Thank you Carla!”
“Jenna was fantastic to work with. Our pup loved her and her communication was great. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable trustworthy pup sitter when in Whistler. Thank you”
About: I started pet-sitting when my beloved cat Briciola passed away. I was missing her so much but couldn’t get another cat as I was traveling all the time, so I posted an ad and had the chance to look after three adorable cats while I was studying in Bologna. When I first moved to Berlin I used to walk my host family’s dog Flora every morning and every noon. I would take her to the lake for a 20/30-minute walk. Last summer 2017 my mom and I rescued a little dog in Italy we named Gigio who’s now our sweetheart! He loves to go on the beach in the early morning to take long walks along the shore; he loves to play and he’s such a fountain of love and happiness. I’m currently working full time, so please, send me a message before booking service. I will do my best to accommodate your and your pet’s needs. I live in a fairly big apartment with my partner. We do not have a yard but a small balcony. We keep the door closed all times if pets are around. I also always make sure your pet is under my supervision .
“Amazing! Had a good feeling right away, was available on a short notice and most importantly: he was really sweet to our dog and gave him a small treat right away so he would walk with him :-) Thanks, Chad!”
About: My passion for dogs started at an early age as I grew up on a farm in the UK with seven dogs, a wonderful mix of working breeds like Labradors, collies and spaniels, plus a couple of spirited Jack Russell's who ruled the pack. Today, I share my home with Peanut, an 9lb Chihuahua who loves naps, sunshine, people and gets along well with other calm dogs. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds and sizes—from toy poodles to Newfoundlands, pointers, Staffordshire bull terriers, and countless loveable mixes. This experience allows me to adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. What I Offer I work from home full-time, so your dog will never be left alone. Here’s what you can expect: ✔ Regular walks ✔ Playtime and enrichment activities ✔ Plenty of cuddles and companionship Whether your pup needs a calm, safe space or an energetic adventure, I’ll tailor their care to suit their temperament and preferences. Just let me know what makes your dog happiest. Please note: Due to the size of my small dog, I cannot accommodate dogs in my home that have a strong prey drive. Why Choose Me I’m trustworthy, attentive, and respectful. When house or dog sitting, I treat your home and pets as if they were my own—providing comfort, security, and privacy at all times. My goal is to deliver the 5-star level of care you expect for your beloved companion. ✅ Need a hand with your dog care? Let’s connect! I work from home so can offer all day companionship to your furry friend, plus regular walks and bathroom breaks. There is room in my office for them to hang out with me, or they can choose their favorite spot in the apartment. My schedule is mainly open on week days, but I can accommodate some weekends (advanced notice helps!), so please feel free to enquire about weekends even if they aren't showing. If you have specific directions and instructions to keep your dog safe or happy, I will ensure to follow these. I always use my intuition and experience with dogs to ensure they are happy and relaxed when in my care, whether that is sitting with them, giving them space, taking them for a walk, or anything else they may need. They are all individuals and I will always respect their boundaries to ensure they feel safe and relaxed.
“Eric and Micheala, were great hosts and very punctual when we dropped him off and picked him up. Their golden was very friendly and nice for Cypress to have another dog to keep him company”
“This was my puppy's second time with Lauren and I think he had a great time. Lauren has a new puppy herself and the two puppies got along great, had some good playtime, and side-by-side walks. Lauren was super easy to communicate with and was very accommodating. Her care for dogs is clear and much appreciated.”
“Thank you so much ? Our Smart Cookie came back absolutely happy. Véronica, you are a great person who loves pets. We appreciate you taking time to walk with our Cookie and send us pictures. We will contact you again once we will be back on our Canada’s adventures.”
“We were visiting the area and had a few non-dog-friendly activities planned for the day, so we had to board our 9.5 year old pup for a few hours. Vanessa took great care of Frisko. He warmed up instantly to her when we met and looked calm and relaxed when we picked him up. She was also really flexible with schedule.”

Joanna was absolutely wonderful and we will definitely use her again. She accepted our booking request at the last minute and was very accommodating with drop off and pick up times. Joanna was great with our dog. She took him on long walks, to a new location every day. Every morning our dog ran happily into her house.
Karen was a lifesaver when we spent the weekend in Whistler! We needed someone to care for our pooch for the day so we could enjoy an event at the village and she was exactly what we needed. She was flexible with the scheduling and gave us lots of photo updates. Our dog was tired and happy when we picked her up.
Great with communication and really flexible. Joshua sent pictures and updated me on Roscoe during his stay. He also took Roscoe on a couple walks, including right when he first dropped him off! Roscoe seemed happy after his visit. Thanks Joshua! We would book with you again.
Hilary was phenomenal during our wedding trip to Whistler. She took care of Ajax during wedding events that weren’t dog friendly and made it very easy by picking him up and dropping him off for the events, even when timing changed (as things inevitably ran late etc.) She also took great care of Ajax, including taking him for walks (his favorite!) and ensuring he was happy in an unfamiliar environment. Thank you very much Hilary!
Our dog Russell had a wonderful day at Lisa’s place. She took great care of him and her kind, caring demeanour made dropping him off much easier. Lisa was easy to communicate with and made the experience simple. We will be booking with Lisa again. Thanks Lisa!
As a first time Rover customer it gave me great comfort on how responsive Lily was and put me at ease when I was in a bit of a panic about changing up the service last minute. At first meet she was able to assess and did research prior on our Airedale, Mosby. Knowing my dog I was so worried it would be too much for anyone but Lily handled him so well and was perfectly happy and tired by the end of the day. Despite the wet weather we were able to enjoy our first trip ever to Whistler and will be back!
We were visiting Whistler and needed a sitter for a day. Tracey was an excellent choice! She had a nice place with some outdoor space and activities. Her dog and our dog played together well. They took a long walk on a trail and Duncan got to play in a stream - something he loves to do. We got frequent updates and pictures which was great. Our Duncan had a great day and we can't say enough nice things about Tracey, her dog, her home and her care. Highly recommended!
Belen helped us out super last minute with our petulant Pogo. Pogo instantly took a liking to her which is not something he often does with new people. Belen was very flexible with timing and we really appreciated that she let us drop Pogo off very early on her day off to do a big ride we had planned. She was communicative, sent us updates, kind, and easy going. Would highly recommend Belen!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Whistler on Rover is $88.8 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 123 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Whistler. About 90% 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.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Whistler commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
