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: Growing up I had a Japanese Akita and more recently have cared for a German Shepherd so am comfortable caring for larger dogs. We are looking to get our first dog next year so I'm also fine with puppys and the opportunity to learn. As you can see from all my pics, I love a good cuddle and will make your pup feel comfortable and safe with you gone. I work the office mon-fri so I can do pet visits and walks pre/post work during the week. I'm happy to care for pets for longer periods of time as my weekend is centred around walking and cafes, so they can join! If the dog likes to sleep in a crate I have the space for this in my living room (or if they like the bed that's fine by me!). We are a non-smoking, no pets household so your pet will be the sole focus.

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. 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: 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 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 have pet sit for friends plenty of times over the years and had two family dogs growing up. I love spending my day with dogs and can assure you I give the best walks! I am currently working Thursday - Monday day/night shifts so I have evenings and mornings available on select days, whilst Tuesday through Wednesday I am available day and night to be with your pup When I am taking care for your pet they will be my number one priority for the duration of the time. I'll take lots of photos and send you updates to keep your mind at ease.
About: I’ve been around dogs for my whole life and love getting to know them. I have experience training a very timid and aggressive rescue dog. Pet car fits easily into my daily routine since I’m currently in between jobs and have a very flexible schedule. I love spending time outdoors so taking your dogs for walks would be a great addition to my day! I currently, unfortunately, don’t have a dog. But, I’m excited to fill the empty void with your doggo! I’m happy to follow your instructions to provide your preferred care for your dog.
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whistler
Olly was a wonderful sitter for our little fur friend and was willing to stay a bit longer so my partner and I could enjoy a nice birthday dinner while visiting Whistler. Olly came prepared with treats to win our little buddy and gave us updates on Loic's behavior. Thanks again Olly and if he's available to help while you're visiting Whistler I would highly recommend!

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

- House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
- Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.
Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.
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!

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
