About: Nous avons toujours été les personnes de notre famille et de notre cercle d’amis qu’on appelle lorsqu’il faut faire garder un animal. Ayant grandi entourés de chiens et de chats, nous avons développé une grande aisance et un réel plaisir à nous en occuper. N’ayant pas d’animaux présentement, nous adorons pouvoir en prendre soin via cette application. Nous sommes un couple d’ingénieurs travaillant tous les deux à temps plein de la maison. Cela nous permet d’être très présents et disponibles pour vos compagnons tout au long de la journée. Nous faisons régulièrement des promenades le matin, le midi et en soirée. Nous aimons tous les animaux — chiens, chats, petits, grands, timides ou enjoués — chacun reçoit toute notre attention et notre affection. Nous avons une grande cour entourée de haies de cèdre, offrant un environnement sécuritaire. Nous sommes également à l’aise d’utiliser des cages au besoin, selon vos habitudes. Comme nous n’avons pas d’animaux à la maison, le vôtre sera au centre de notre attention. We’ve always been the people our family and friends rely on when they need someone to care for their pets. Having both grown up with dogs and cats, we’re very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Since we don’t currently have pets of our own, we love being able to care for them through this app. We are a couple of engineers working full-time from home, which allows us to be very present and attentive throughout the day. We typically go for walks in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. We truly enjoy the company of all animals — dogs, cats, small, large, shy, or playful — each one gets our full attention and care. We have a large yard surrounded by cedar hedges, providing a safe outdoor space. We’re also comfortable using crates if needed, depending on your pet’s routine. Since we don’t have pets of our own, yours will receive our full focus and attention. Nous travaillons de la maison à temps plein, assurant une présence constante. L’un de nous étant travailleur autonome avec un horaire très flexible, nous pouvons facilement nous adapter aux besoins spécifiques de votre animal tout au long de la journée. We both work from home full-time, ensuring constant presence. One of us is self-employed with a highly flexible schedule, allowing us to easily adapt to your pet’s specific needs throughout the day. Nous envoyons régulièrement des photos et des nouvelles pour vous garder rassuré pendant votre absence. We provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

About: Ce qui me distingue, c’est l’attention que j’accorde au bien-être de chaque animal. Je suis diplômée en soins animaliers et j’ai passé trois semaines en stage dans le domaine vétérinaire. Je peux donc réagir rapidement en cas de comportement différent ou énergie inhabituelle. Mon objectif est que vous partiez l’esprit tranquille, en sachant que votre animal est en sécurité et sera traité avec la même attention, le même respect et la même bienveillance que s’il était le mien. J’organise mon horaire de façon à offrir mes services le plus souvent possible durant la semaine. Que ce soit pour des promenades de qualité, des visites à domicile ou des périodes de jeux. Lors des visites à domicile, je veille à ce que votre animal conserve ses habitudes afin de réduire son stress. Je m’occupe de lui donner de la nourriture, de l’eau fraîche, faire des promenades, des jeux, des moments de détente etc. Si nécessaire, je peux également administrer des médicaments selon vos instructions et effectuer des soins de base que j’ai appris lors de mon AEP en soins animaliers (coupe de griffes, nettoyage des yeux et des oreilles, brossage etc) Je prends aussi le temps d’observer son comportement et son état général afin de détecter tout changement inhabituel. Après chaque visite, je vous envoie des nouvelles. :)

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and caring for them has always been one of my biggest passions. I previously worked at the SPCA because I strongly believe in animal welfare and rescue over supporting pet stores. Over the years I’ve cared for rats, rabbits, bunnies, geckos, hamsters, birds, squirrels, pigs, cats, and dogs. Every species has different physical and mental needs, and I take the time to learn what allows each animal to truly thrive—not just survive. I’ve never believed in keeping animals in the small cages sold in most pet stores. Instead, I build large, custom enclosures designed specifically for each individual animal’s needs, giving them plenty of room to explore, play, and live comfortably. Daily care is something I take very seriously. Every animal receives individual attention, enrichment, playtime, fresh food and water, and their living space is spot-cleaned and maintained every single day to ensure they stay healthy, happy, and stress-free. Whether I’m caring for my own animals or someone else’s, I treat every pet as if they were my own family. My goal is always to provide a safe, enriching, and loving environment where every animal receives the care, patience, and respect they deserve. Pet sitting fits well into my schedule because I have a flexible routine and can plan my days around the pets in my care. I make it a priority to stick to each pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and medication schedule, and I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight visits depending on the owner’s needs. I only take on a manageable number of pets at a time so that every animal receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. I always follow each pet’s normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean living space, plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection based on their personality. I pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, keep your home clean and secure, and will happily send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: J'ai grandi entouré d'animaux et surtout de chiens, ils sont ma plus grande passion, d'ailleurs nous en avons 5 toutous à la maison, passionnée des poilus autant pour leur alimentation, soin, éducation, ayant plusieurs cours et formations à mon actif! Autant la conformité, obéissance, agilité ou sport ratier, je suis très active avec ceux-ci. Leur language ne m'est pas inconnu. Une balade, une collade, rien ne me dérange si c'est pour leur bonheur. Corps sain dans un esprit sain comme on dit :) Je travaille à temps plein de la maison, je peux facilement me déplacer le matin, midi et soir, passer la soirée! Le but premier est le bien être de l'animal. Pour la garde à la maison, je suis à la maison presque 24h/7j (à part pour quelques commissions, rv, et cours avec les toutous), nous avons une cours clôturée et facilement l'espace pour l'intégration du pensionnaire sans qu'il ne vive un traumatisme à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur ! Cependant, votre chien doit être socialiser avec toutes les grandeurs, pour les chiots notre maison est un endroit idéal pour la socialisation sans risque. Les chiens ont des coussins dans toutes les pièces, peuvent aussi avoir accès au divan (si non restreint par le propriétaire), sans stress pour nos meubles et plancher, c'est une maison vivante incluant les animaux.

About: Hi there! I am a Shiba Inu survivor looking to spend more time outdoors around joyful dogs. My dog is one and a half, super playful and he loves meeting new people & dogs. I am happy to offer a helping hand in making people’s everyday lives a little easier and stress free. Knowing your pets are in safe hands is so important and I look forward to being able to provide that peace of mind for you.

I have a big securely fenced yard where we can all play together with or without my dog. It is also a great space for your pup to get some fresh air and practice enrichment exercises such as sniffing. I have a crate if necessary to ensure everyones safety.

About: I've been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up, there was always a pet in my home, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life since childhood. Over the years, I've gained experience with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I've learned that every animal has unique needs and deserves patient, loving care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and companionship, and I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I'll take the time to follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication (if needed), and any special preferences or restrictions.

About: Ayant des animaux depuis toute jeune, je comprends très bien la complexité de les faire garder ou bien d'avoir quelqu'un pour s'occuper d'eux (surtout avec la vie, le travail, les enfants etc !). Je considère avoir de très bonnes bases en comportement canin, obéissance, soins de base pour chats, chiens, oiseaux, poissons. J'ai également eu des animaux avec certaines complexités médicales alors sachez que je suis à l'aise avec vos poilus avec besoins particuliers. Mon entourage sait à quel point j'aime mes animaux et ceux de mes proches. J'ai aidé plusieurs personnes près de moi avec leurs animaux et j'ai donc décidé d'offrir ce service via Rover puisque moi-même j'ai eu besoin de ce service et j'ai adoré le fonctionnement. J'ai la chance d'avoir un emploi en mode hybride donc flexibilité, stabilité et présence (surtout pour nos amis anxieux!) c'est ce que j'offre pour la garde. Pour les visites ponctuelles, je peux organiser mon horaire afin de venir faire des visites à votre domicile selon la distance. Ici nous avons une grande cours clôturée donc les chiens peuvent également courir et s'amuser en liberté. Nous avons une superbe piste cyclable à proximité ainsi que des parcs à chiens si c'est ce dont votre animal a besoin. Pour vos chats, le chien et les chats ici sont à l'aise avec des amis et dans le cas où votre animal est plutôt réservé il y a définitivement moyen de lui donner son espace. Pour les visites ponctuelles ou les garde à votre domicile, vos règles sont les miennes ! Votre chien a besoin de se faire chanter une chanson en faisant 2 tours sur moi-même pour qu'il mange ? Je suis partante. Votre chat a besoin de son mantra quotidien pour être heureux? Je suis partante. Aucun paramètre autour du bien-être d'un animal n'est farfelu pour moi 🐕 N'hésitez pas à m'écrire pour avoir plus d'infos. Il me fera plaisir de discuter avec vous!

About: J’ai eu deux chiens pendants 14 ans. J’ai toujours adoré les chiens. comme je sais mon emploi du temps à l’avance , je sais que les jours que j’offre de disponible je serais présent complètement pour m’occuper des animaux.

About: Les chiens ont toujours occupé une place importante dans ma vie. J'aime apprendre leur personnalité, observer leur langage corporel et créer un lien de confiance avec eux. Il y a quelques années, j'ai été bénévole à la SPCA, où je promenais les chiens et les photographiais afin de créer leur profil d'adoption. Plus récemment, j'ai gardé pendant une semaine la chienne de ma cousine, une Staffordshire Terrier de 9 ans. Cette expérience m'a permis de développer une belle complicité avec elle tout en respectant sa routine : promenades quotidiennes, repas selon sa diète, périodes de jeu, repos et beaucoup d'attention. Je crois qu'un chien s'épanouit lorsqu'il se sent en confiance et que sa routine est respectée. Je prends donc le temps de m'adapter au tempérament de chaque chien afin qu'il se sente en sécurité et bien accompagné pendant votre absence. Mon horaire flexible me permet d'offrir des promenades et des visites à domicile tout au long de la semaine. J'aime marcher, être à l'extérieur et passer du temps avec les chiens. Veiller à leur bien-être tout en respectant leur routine est une activité qui s'intègre naturellement à mon quotidien. Je n'offre pas de garde à mon domicile, mais je me déplace avec plaisir chez vous pour les promenades et les visites à domicile. Je privilégie le respect de la routine de votre chien afin qu'il conserve ses repères et se sente en confiance pendant votre absence. Selon ses besoins, je veille à ses repas, ses promenades, ses sorties pour ses besoins, ses moments de jeu, son hydratation et son bien-être. Je peux également administrer des médicaments par voie orale en suivant les instructions du propriétaire. Mon objectif est qu'il se sente en sécurité et reçoive toute l'attention qu'il mérite jusqu'à votre retour.

About: What sets me apart is the calm, attentive environment I provide. I grew up in a home that regularly rescued and fostered dogs, so caring for different personalities, energy levels, and behavioral needs has always been part of my life. We always had at least two dogs in the house at a time, and I’ve continued that into adulthood with my own rescues - Rose, who I’ve had since she was 1 (now 14), and Baby, who has been with me for 6 years. I’m often told I have a calm, easy energy that dogs naturally trust. I’m especially patient and understanding with anxious dogs and behavioral sensitivities, while still creating a relaxed and stable environment. I work from home, so dogs are never left unsupervised and always have consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. My home is cozy, calm, and dog-focused, with a large fenced backyard for fetch, sunbathing, and safe outdoor time. I treat every dog like they’re my own and prioritize making them feel secure, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and already structure my days around caring for animals. My own dogs are a huge part of my everyday life, so walks, outdoor time, feeding schedules, play, cuddles, and supervision are already built into my routine. I’m home often throughout the day, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, cozy environment where animals can relax, feel safe, and settle into a comfortable rhythm. Weekly, I prioritize keeping a clean and pet-friendly home and making sure animals get both mental stimulation and downtime depending on their personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or more anxious and reserved, I’m attentive to helping them feel comfortable and cared for while they’re with me. Safety is always my top priority when caring for dogs in my home. I have two friendly rescue dogs who are calm, social, and well accustomed to sharing space with other animals. I always prioritize slow, respectful introductions and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort level, personality, and boundaries. I provide a calm, structured environment where dogs are supervised closely and never left unattended outdoors. My home is ground level and has a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, fetch, bathroom breaks, and relaxing in the sun, and all yard time is monitored. Inside the home, I use tools like baby gates when needed to create separate spaces for rest, decompression, feeding, or quieter introductions. Because I work from home, I’m present throughout the day to supervise interactions, maintain routines, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is always to create a cozy, low-stress environment where dogs can settle in comfortably and feel at home.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Varennes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 1,822 sitters on Rover for Dog Walking in Varennes. About 82% of Varennes 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Varennes. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Varennes.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find walkers in Varennes with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Every walker 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 Varennes 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!

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
