“Karen was wonderful; very responsive, good communicator and came prepared with a long leash if needed. Overall a great experience. We will use her again! Txs, Deb”
“Ashley did a wonderful job looking after our cat while we were away visiting family. It was such a relief knowing he was in such kind and capable hands, especially given his health issues. She not only made sure all his needs were met but also gave him much love and attention, visiting twice a day and hanging out with him on the couch. It was clear when we arrived back that he had been truly well cared for, including his medication needs. We're so grateful for Ashley's dedication and love of animals, including Raven! We will definitely be calling on her again.”
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’ve loved caring for animals since I was a teenager, starting with my beloved sausage dog (even if some say they’re not “real” dogs!). Since moving to Whistler, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends whenever they traveled and couldn’t bring their pups along. For the past two years, my partner and I have had a hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal, I’ve definitely felt a bit of an “attention void” during the day—so I’d love to give your pet all the care and affection they deserve! I work from home as a sales rep for a pool construction company, and ever since COVID, all my meetings happen online, over the phone, or through email. That means I’m home most of the time, which makes it easy to give your doggie plenty of attention throughout the day! We live in a house with a spacious living room where pets can relax and feel at home when I’m pet-sitting. Our neighborhood is perfect for dogs, with dog parks and forest trails just a few minutes away—so your furry friend will get plenty of walks and outdoor time! Even while I’m working, I always keep an eye on them to make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need.
“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!”
“Marni is fantastic with our little guy. Teddy is always calm and content after and so happy after his time with her. Each time we’re in Whistler Marni is our first point of contact!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and truly understand how important they are as family. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, and look after their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I am currently working mostly evening shifts so will be free to look after your dogs whilst you’re at work! I normally don’t start until the late afternoon/evenings, so I am free to hang out with your pups for even the whole day if needed! I provide safe, reliable care for pets in their own home and on walks. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding, routines, and any special needs. I make sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment and gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care.

About: My love for pets is what sparked me to enter the wonderful world of pet sitting. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids". I grew up with a household of furry friends! This is currently my second job as I’m wanting to spend my time giving love to those who need it most. I’m available Mon-Sun 11am - 10pm My services are primarily going to be available for outside my own property within the adventurous outdoors and/or alongside the home comforts of the dogs own home.
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'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: My girlfriend and I are lifelong animal lovers and have grown up with pets of all kinds! We love having pets around the house, but since we can’t commit to owning one full-time right now, pet sitting is the perfect way for us to enjoy their company and care for them like our own. I’m a self-employed barber who works four days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pet. My girlfriend also works from home, so your pet will always have consistent company and attention during the day. :) We live in a cozy one-bedroom apartment right on Alpha Lake with easy access to trails and an off-leash dog park close by! Our home is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and we both have cars, so we’re always prepared for vet visits, pick-ups, or any emergencies that might come up!
About: Hiya, I’m aged 28 and live in Whistler. I have lived around animals my whole life and have previously fostered dogs in BC. I am very accommodating with the pet/pets you need looking after, let me know and I’d be happy to help. I live in Tamarisk and am able to travel up to a 10 minute radius. I work full time from home, Monday to Friday. I am available to drop in for dog walks or allow to pet sit at mine. I have an unfenced deck but many trails around to take your dog for a walk. We do not have any other pets in the house
About: I've grown up surrounded by animals my whole life — dogs, cats, birds — so caring for pets is second nature to me. When I was living in Australia, I got to look after some amazing dogs and made such lovely connections with their owners along the way. I've always been a huge animal lover. I even rescued a street dog from Thailand and brought her home to the UK. She needed a lot of training, love, and patience — but she's now happy, settled, and absolutely thriving. That experience taught me so much about understanding a dog's needs, building trust, and providing the kind of care that truly makes a difference. I'm now a permanent resident of Canada and settled in Whistler long-term, so you can count on me being here for your dog whenever you need. My work schedule for October is Wednesday-Sunday. I am flexible with drop ins, over nights stays and walks. I can be super flexible with my lunch breaks for mid-day walks, early morning walks or evening walks! With planning, I am able to stay at my partners home with pets! The great thing about this set up is between us, we have Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday off so your pet is unlikely to spend much time alone! I also start 9:30, and my partner finishes 3:30 so we can be really flexible with meeting animals needs. I am also able to stay at the pets home, pop in for dog walks, toilet breaks and lots of cuddles!
About: Hi my names Kierra, I’m an avid animal lover. Ive raised and trained three dogs of my own. I am looking to give your pet love, affection, training and the ability to be energetic. I am experienced with: training dogs, young or old, Caring for dogs with disabilities, Senior dog care, Assuring a dog can be independent, Reactive dogs I am a waitress this giving me the ability to spend a wide range of time playing, training and caring for your pets. Depending on the week I am usually working early morning shifts and get off around noonish this letting me be available during the afternoon and night:) Giving services in your own home will keep your pet calm and more comfortable being with a new person as they are in their own environment. I am very energetic, love going on walks and giving enrichment activities to stimulate your pet
“Debora was amazing with my dog! She accommodated me last minute and was a life saver. My dog was as happy as a clam when I picked him up and tired out too. She had taken him for a 2 hour hike! Next time I am in Whistler I will absolutely be using her again. 5 stars to this gem!”
About: I’ve either had or taken care of dogs most of my life. I have one of my own that I raised from a puppy, but as I am away from home, I would love to take care of yours! I love all dogs big and small and would treat your pet like my own. I am available most evenings and 3 days per week as I have another job. I’m not a super early riser, but would be happy to walk your dogs after 9:30am. My house is not available for your pets unfortunately, but I will happily head to you for pet care. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup!
About: I've trained and taken care of our family dog since she was 3 months old. I also walk, and help to look after friend's dogs when needed. Whether it's them staying overnight or either to take them out for walks during the day. I also currently volunteer at WAG Shelter (Whistler Animals Galore). I can be flexible if a dog needs to be taken for a walk in the morning or during the day if needed if given enough notice. I can be available for onboarding for 1-2nights as long as I'm given notice. I don't have a fenced yard, but there is a lot of walking trails near our house, and parks. We are allowed pets in our house and have room for a crate if needed. Please just chat to me to let me know the size of the crate to make sure it'll fit! Our landlords only come up on the weekends in Winter so we have the house mostly to ourselves. Our neighbourhood is very dog friendly!
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.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Whistler is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whistler
I was traveling on vacation and had Chloe watch Ava for me during my stay at Whistler Village. I was concerned about Ava because she is an extremely shy dog, we’re in a new place, and we recently lost her companion dog buddy. I was very surprised to see Ava take to Chloe almost immediately. Ava in the past has sometimes sulked in her kennel or curled up in the corner and is not interactive. Chloe managed to take Ava out on walks several times and even sent some photos of them cuddling on the couch. I can’t say enough good things about Chloe. She was flexible and very attentive to our special needs. Absolutely five gold stars.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Whistler on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 228 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Whistler. About 77% 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.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Whistler stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover based on what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
- 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!
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 pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
