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.
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.

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: 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 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.
“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.”
“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 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 Wednesday-Saturday, mainly day shifts so I will have evenings and mornings available, whilst Sunday through Tuesday 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.
“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!”
About: Hi! Our names' are Melissa and David and we've lived in Whistler for over two years now. For the first 20 months of living here we lived with and helped take care of our room mates two lovely dogs. Helping to train, feed and generally look after them, with full responsibility when they were away on trips or nights out. Before moving to Canada we've also looked after friends and family's dogs regularly, from just a daily walk to a full weeks holiday. Normally during the working week Melissa is finished by 4pm so free to visit or walk your dog after this time. David is free in the mornings as he starts work later in the day. If you dog is OK to be left for a couple of hours we can give your dog maximum attention! Otherwise Melissa's office is pet friendly and would be welcome to spend the whole day with me, if happy in that environment. We have a pet friendly apartment but are also happy to help with walks or visit your home to help out. Our apartment doesn't have a garden and is up stairs but we live in Creekside very close to the dog park and other great walks!
About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. From feeding, walking and training my doggies, to family and friends relying on me to look after their pets whilst they are away! My schedule at the moment mostly consists of evening work when I am not skiing on the mountain! I am very flexible with timings around my evening work, and can make myself available for dog caring whenever is best suited to your needs I am a huge dog lover, looking to not only look after your furry friend but provide a-lot of love and affection! With 20+ years of animal care experience, 15 of which were with my own pups, I know how to care for dogs inside and outside of their home, interacting with other people and pets, and generally being aware of the care and understanding for each individual dog as every dog is different!
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: Everybody wonders why I don’t have a dog. In my free time I walk dogs. They bring me so much joy. And they get me out and about. For the majority of my life I have had a dog. At this point in my life it’s not ideal as I use to and hopefully will travel again for work. I was a canine massage practitioner so your pet will get lots of good pets! I am very active and love discovering all the trails the Sea to Sky has to offer. I have lived in Whistler for 20 years and I am very familiar with the area. If would like to know more please let me know. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member(s). I work for myself so I have a very flexible schedule. I like morning adventures in the woods and maybe one in the afternoon as week! Depends on what the dogs needs! I like to meet the owner and the pets a few times to make sure the pets have time to adjust and the owners feel comfortable with me in their home taking care of their pets.
“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 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: 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’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.
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 August 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 216 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Whistler. About 79% 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.
