Dog sitting and overnight boarding in Whistler, without the kennel.

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 and Fear Free certified sitter comes to your home, hotel or accommodation anywhere in Whistler and looks after your dog in the place it already knows, with feeding, medication, walks, playtime and a photo update every visit.

Yes, though not in a kennel. Our sleepovers are overnight dog boarding in Whistler done at your address: a certified sitter stays the night, your dog sleeps in its own bed, eats its own food and keeps its normal medication schedule, and there is one adventure walk a day included. $110 a night plus tax, check-in 4 PM and check-out 9 AM. Read the full comparison in in-home sitting versus boarding.

Not in the kennel sense. We do not have a facility, so there is no room full of dogs waiting out the day. What most Whistler families book instead is a small-pack off-leash walk, which gets your dog onto the trail with up to five others and a certified walker. If you need a full day covered, a walk plus a daytime visit usually does it, and it generally works out cheaper than a daycare day rate.

Effectively, yes. On an overnight sleepover your sitter is in your home from 4 PM through to 9 AM, so the house is occupied, lights go on and off as normal, and mail or deliveries can be brought in. We are dog people rather than a house-sitting agency, so the dog is the job and the house being looked after is the side effect, but for most Whistler owners heading away that is the part that matters.

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.

A dog sleepover is overnight care in your own home. Your Whistler dog sitter stays the night and keeps your dog's normal routine, from morning and evening walks to 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.

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.

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.

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.

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, either on-site or back at your accommodation, so your dog is happy and supervised while you are 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.

We do, but peak-season and holiday dog sitting is limited and books up fast, especially Christmas and 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.
