Dog Sitting in Whistler — Your Trusted In-Home Dog Sitter
In-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and cozy overnight sleepovers from a certified Whistler dog sitter — so your dog stays home, on their routine, while you're away.
In-home dog sitting, built around your dog's routine.
When you're on the mountain, out of town, or away for the night, your dog does best in the place they know best — home. Doggy Tales offers trusted dog sitting in Whistler that keeps your dog in their own space, on their own schedule, cared for by a certified sitter who treats them like family. No kennels, no crowded facility, no strange environment — just familiar comfort and one-on-one attention.
As your local Whistler dog sitter, we offer two core services: in-home pet sitting visits during the day for feeding, walks, playtime and potty breaks, and overnight dog sleepovers where your sitter stays the night and keeps your dog's whole routine intact. Every visit and every stay comes with photo updates, so you can relax knowing exactly how your pup is doing.
Every pet sitter on the Doggy Tales team is DogSafe Canine First Aid & Fear Free certified, fully insured, and experienced with feeding schedules, medication, anxious dogs, seniors, and multi-dog homes. We serve all of Whistler — Village, Creekside, Alpine Meadows, Emerald, Nordic, Cheakamus and beyond — plus Pemberton. Already need daytime exercise too?

Heli-tours, gondola days, dinners and shoots where dogs can't come along — a sitter keeps your pup exercised and settled until you're back.
Peak-Season & Holiday Dog Sitting
Whistler's busiest weeks are exactly when dog sitters fill up. We hold a limited number of private sits and overnight sleepovers over each peak period — reserved first for regular clients — so plan ahead and lock in your dates early.
Peak periods that book up fast
- Christmas & New Year (mid-December to early January)
- Spring break & Family Day long weekend
- Summer long weekends & Canada Day
- Crankworx, Ironman & GranFondo weekends
- Thanksgiving and any major Whistler event
How to secure a peak-season spot
Because our sitting team is small by design, private holiday sitting is limited and goes to booked dates first. To hold your spot:
- Send your dates as early as you can — weeks out for holidays
- Existing clients get first priority on peak dates
- A booking fee confirms and holds your overnight stay
Whistler Dog Sitting FAQs
Do you offer dog sitting in Whistler?
Yes — in-home dog sitting is one of our core services across Whistler, BC. We offer daytime pet sitting visits and overnight dog sleepovers. A DogSafe & Fear Free certified dog sitter comes to your home, hotel, or accommodation anywhere in Whistler and cares for your dog in the environment they already know — with feeding, medication, walks, playtime, and a daily photo update.
How much does a dog sitter cost in Whistler?
In-home pet sitting visits start at $30 per hour with a one-hour minimum. Overnight dog sleepovers are $110 per night plus applicable tax and include one adventure walk per day, feeding, medication, potty breaks, and a daily photo update. A non-refundable booking fee (10% of the total stay, minimum $50) secures your dates.
What is a Doggy Tales dog sleepover?
A dog sleepover is overnight care in your own home. Your Whistler dog sitter stays the night and keeps your dog's normal routine — morning and evening walks, feeding, medication if needed, regular potty breaks, and calm companionship — so your dog stays comfortable in familiar surroundings instead of a kennel. Standard check-in is 4 PM and check-out is 9 AM, and every stay includes one adventure walk per day plus a daily photo update.
Is a pet sitter better than boarding my dog?
For many dogs, yes. An in-home pet sitter in Whistler keeps your dog in their own space, on their own schedule, without the stress of a busy boarding facility. It's ideal for anxious dogs, seniors, puppies, dogs on medication, and multi-dog households. Your dog sleeps in their own bed, eats their own food, and gets one-on-one attention from a certified sitter.
Are your Whistler dog sitters certified and insured?
Every Doggy Tales sitter is DogSafe Canine First Aid certified and Fear Free certified for low-stress handling, and the company carries full commercial liability insurance. Before every stay we review your dog's feeding, medication, sleep routine, behaviour notes, vet details, and emergency contacts so nothing is left to guesswork. Meet the team.
How do I book a dog sitter in Whistler?
Start with the booking form or take our 60-second quiz. New clients complete a short intake form and a free meet & greet so we can meet your dog and confirm feeding, medication, home access, and routine. All sitting and sleepover bookings are managed through PetPocketbook, where you'll also sign the client waiver and keep your dog's profile up to date.
Do you offer dog sitting for weddings and events?
Yes. We provide dog sitting for weddings, elopements, corporate retreats, parties and photo shoots in Whistler and Pemberton. A certified sitter cares for your dog during the event — on-site or back at your accommodation — so your dog is happy and supervised while you're present for the day. If you'd like your dog actually in the ceremony and photos, our Wedding Day Dog Concierge handles the whole day end to end.
Can you dog sit over the holidays and peak season?
We do, but peak-season and holiday dog sitting is limited and books up fast — especially Christmas & New Year, spring break, summer long weekends, and event weekends like Crankworx and Ironman. Because our sitting team is small by design, we hold a limited number of private sits and overnight sleepovers per peak period and give existing clients first priority. Send your dates as early as possible — weeks ahead for major holidays — and a booking fee secures your spot.
