“Sophie is amazing! She cared for our senior dog and younger pup, each with different needs, with such thoughtfulness. She took them on separate walks, made sure our senior received his supplements, and kept us updated with wonderful photos. We returned to happy, well-cared-for pups and a spotless home. We highly recommend her services!”
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. Feeding schedules will be followed, as well as exercise habits from the owner. If visiting the pet home, I will first conduct a meet and greet. Pet spaces will be kept clean and boundaries will be respected.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs of all sizes, especially larger breeds, and caring for them was simply part of everyday life. It was a bit of a mutual arrangement: the kids looked after the dogs, and the dogs looked after the kids. As a result, I’ve spent years walking and caring for both familiar and unfamiliar dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. Due to this, over the years, caring for dogs also naturally became part of my childcare experience. I’ve cared for puppies learning the basics, including accidents, puppy pads, crates, and gates, as well as senior dogs requiring extra patience and attention, including medication, mobility support, and managing bowel issues. I’ve had experience across a wide range of ages, temperaments, and care needs. I’ve have also had the honour to have had several dogs of my own over the years. They’ve taught me a great deal about joy, loyalty, and life and I'm forever grateful for their tennis ball pearls of wisdom. I have a genuine love for dogs and take their care seriously—I want every dog I look after to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their person is away. I am currently a student studying asynchronously online, due to this I can stop at a moments notice to assist with bathroom breaks, medication or simple love and affection. I provide care exclusively in the pet’s home, where I focus on maintaining their usual routine and making them feel safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and take notes on any specifics regarding feeding, walks, medications, house rules, and any particular needs or behaviours. I’m attentive to practical safety details such as securing doors, gates, and outdoor areas. I always ensure that I keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and making sure pets are supervised appropriately. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own. Most importantly, I believe trust goes both ways. I want owners to feel confident that their pet is in capable, attentive hands, and I’m always happy to communicate updates or ask questions if anything unexpected comes up.

“Megan was absolutely wonderful with my beagle! I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her - she’s incredibly reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with. My dog was calm and happy the whole time, and it honestly felt like they became best friends right away. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was, and it made the whole experience stress-free for me. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Megan again in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Deborah was absolutely perfect for our Elle. So sweet and patient with all of our pups anxious personality. Lots of updates and pictures throughout the day that put us at ease. This was the first time we have ever left Elle with a person that she had never met before and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you again Deborah for taking such great care of our Elle.”
“Tracy-Kim took good care of our younger and elderly dog while we were away. This included the administration of our older dog’s medication and some special senior care. We felt at ease knowing the pups were in good hands. Tracy-Kim left our home neat and tidy too. Thank you!”

About: Hello ! My name is Jeanne, and I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pet's well-being ! I speak French and English. I've always been around animals (dogs, cats, rodents, farm animals, etc.). I studied for several years in France and earned my Veterinary Assistant diploma, so I've had the opportunity to acquire extensive knowledge about their health, behavior, emergency management, and care. I also hold the ACACED (Certificate of Knowledge for Domestic Pets). I also completed several months of internship at a veterinary clinic in Quebec. Animals are my passion. I love pampering them, listening to them, meeting their needs, and taking care of them every day! I'm also very responsible and independent. With me, they're in good hands ! Unfortunately, I don't have space to accommodate them at my home. I offer services such as dog walking (of varying durations), basic grooming (you'll need to provide your own supplies). I make house calls and will stay as long as your pet needs to feel comfortable. I can also administer medication. I also offer house sitting. I'm a careful and very clean person, and I can take care of small daily tasks like collecting mail, watering plants, etc... The security of your home is very important to me! My availability depends on my work schedule, and I'll do my best to be flexible. Travel expenses are already included in the price. If, despite this detailed description, you are still not convinced by my profile, I can share my 5-star pet sitter profile from another platform (Pawshake) with you; there, you will find 11 detailed reviews regarding the quality of my services. Don't hesitate to contact me. Have a great day! I have a lot of free time night and day during the week, to take care of your animals, give them love and practical my passion. I dedicate all my energy to providing them with what they need. Furthermore, animals feel less stressed in their own environment, which makes it easier for me to approach them.
About: I've had pets around my house for my entire life, cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs. Ever since I moved to Whistler, I haven't been able to find a place that allows pets, so I am on here to help spread my joy and love for animals, and give them back the love they all deserve. I am very responsible, live minutes from the dog park, and get along great with animals. I have been a local for 6 years so I have a good understanding of the neighborhoods in Whistler, and I also understand all the pet restrictions and policies in town. I am very understanding when it comes to cats and dogs, they all have varying personalities and each need a special kind of attention. I would love to fill my time looking after your furry little friend! Use this code to save $20 on your first booking with me TYG08196, https://www.rover.com/sit/tyg08196 I have a very flexible schedule as I work from home, and have plenty of areas near my house to take pets out for long or shorter walks. I have a backyard, and a very large park right beside my house. Plenty of space to keep your pet active and take it out for long walks.
About: Hi, I’m a 27 year old Whistler local with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. I grew up with a dog and cat and have spent the past few years pet sitting for friends, so I’m very used to stepping into different routines and quickly getting a feel for each pet’s personality. I spend a lot of time outside, so I’m always happy to take dogs on long walks and actually tire them out. That said, I’m just as comfortable with slower-paced pets who want a calm, low-key presence and a bit of company. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and pay attention to the small things that make a difference. I’ll keep you updated with photos and make sure your pet is well looked after while you’re away. Available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting — mornings, evenings, and weekends all work. I work mostly evenings, but my schedule is very flexible so its quite easy for me to move shifts around when needed! I also have fairly short shifts and myself or my partner are always around. I have a private place shared with my partner and a yard for them to play. My house is very clean & minimal so not much for your pet to get into!
About: I’m really passionate about every different animal in this world, leave your baby with me and I ensure it will have the best time of their live I’m in a full time job but also I have a pretty flexible schedule . I can have 3 full free days and few free mornings at the same week Animals are the best company you could ask for so since I dont have my baby I would love to spoil your baby with whatever they need
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.
“Coline was such a great sitter for my cats Tuna & Mayo and looked after them, and our house, like it was her own. She was great with communication and sent pictures to let us know everything was going great. They loved her!! Would 100% recommend Coline for your pets needs and will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you son much!”

“We loved working with Hayley and I would highly recommend her!! Our dogs had the best time with her, she kept updating us on how the day went by sending pictures and videos and she was awesome on communications too :) Will definitely book again with her!! :)”

About: Hi! I'm Tess, an active, animal-loving sitter who works from home during the week, available summer through early fall. I've cared for dogs my whole life (mostly large breeds), fostered both dogs and cats locally and abroad, and even helped housebreak puppies. I live in a townhouse, and my home office sits right behind the garage with direct access to a backyard, so between walks and runs, dogs hang out with me while I work, with constant access to the yard. Whether your pup needs a relaxed walk around the golf course, a run to burn off energy, or a big adventure up the Chief, I'll match their pace. If your dog likes to socialize, I'll make sure to bring them along on walks or runs with friends and their friendly pets. During down time, I'm all about cuddles, playtime, and making sure your pet feels safe and happy. I work from home part-time in the summer and early fall, so I can easily fit in morning, midday, and evening walks or visits. My schedule is flexible, which means I can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that’s early hikes or lunchtime potty breaks. Pets are always supervised, doors and gates are secure, and outdoor time is safe and leashed. I make sure they have a cozy space to rest, fresh water, and plenty of attention.
About: I have grown up surrounded by furry companions (dogs,cats,farm animals) and love every minute of it. Life without a dog or animal for me is an unknown. I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, active dogs and all kinds of dog breeds from small to large and find the joy in each of them. Whether your dog has a quirk or a perk, it’s not too much for me. I will love and care for them as my own and my home has no boundaries for them because I want them to feel as comfortable as they would at their own home. Whether they need training reinforced, walks, runs, forest immersions, swims or just downtime, we’ll take good care of them. My miniature longhaired daschund is my home companion. He is gentle, playful and sweet with any and all other dogs. He knows when to avoid senior dogs and to engage with puppies. I appreciate and love this intuitive nature most about him. With us your dog will be in loving hands. I work from home and have a flexible work schedule which makes play time, company and walks easy. I also have a little fenced yard that is accessible to them during the day for some needed supervised outdoor play time. A nature trail is right in front of my home and forest walks are an easy 5min drive to access. I am available and hands on during the day. Your pup will be in good care and company daily. I have a ground level home with fenced yard to play in and one miniature longhaired daschund to keep your baby company whether to play or just to relax with. My home will be home to your pet and I will treat them as my own. For house sittings, Fynn (my dog) and I will be respectful and take utmost care to look after your belongings and pup. You can relax and rest assured that your home and pup are in capable, loving and caring hands.
About: I have a wide range of animal experience from the last few years! I have looked after neighbourhood dogs since I was a teenager and owned 3 dogs with my family! Looking after my family dogs was a large responsibility for myself, along with helping with the puppy training! I also have spent over 10 years spending time and working at horse stables where there would be dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses of course! I aim for pets to be as happy as possible while they’re with me. Whether that means multiple walks a day, or cozying up together and watching a movie. I’m happy to make them happy. I’m currently taking a year off after I finished my undergrad to travel and snowboard, so I have lots of free time when I’m home! I am more than happy to shift my schedule around the pets I’m looking after. No matter where I am staying, my focus is on your pet! While I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m happy to make as many leashed bathroom breaks and outdoor plays as necessary, on top of any walks we take!

Tilly and Jake did a great job. 5 stars!! The initial meet and greet, dog sitting for night in our home and communication was all very easy, professional, and comfortable. We have 2 young, 60 pound dogs, they can be a handful. One of my dogs can be very anxious, he seemed fine with them. They stayed in our home, I think they left our place cleaner than when we left. You can tell they truly love dogs and know what they are doing. I would for sure ask them to dog sit for us again. Thanks!!

Damian cared for our two Vizslas (Molly and Hazel) at our house for a week while we were on a holiday. He communicated well, followed directions and the dogs loved him! It takes Molly quite a while to trust and to be comfortable around someone new. It wasn’t long at all until she was snuggling and playing with Damian. We would book Damian again without hesitation.

Megan was absolutely wonderful with my beagle! I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her - she’s incredibly reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with. My dog was calm and happy the whole time, and it honestly felt like they became best friends right away. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was, and it made the whole experience stress-free for me. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Megan again in the future. Highly recommend!

Michael took excellent care of our furry baby, even on very short notice. He was reliable, kind, and truly responsible throughout the stay. On one of the days, his car broke down, but he still made it work and showed up as promised. That level of dedication really meant a lot to us. We felt confident and at ease knowing our dog was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Whistler 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Whistler 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 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!
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, a background 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.
Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.
If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.
For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
