About: I am a huge animal lover and a Dog Whisperer as some of my friends call me. I have been a dog owner as long as I remember. I already have a furry kid Bella, who is very friendly with other dogs and loves play dates with her friends. I am used to dog walking and pet sitting for my family,friends and neighbors. When we moved from US, we had to face many issues in regards to Bellas transport and stay and I know the feeling when you are unable to give your fur kid the best of best while moving or when you are on a much needed vacation. I will always keep you updated with the photos of your pet having fun. I will be right here when you need someone to take care of your pet just as part of a family! Doggy Day Care - Saturday, Sunday and Holidays Doggy Boarding - Friday Evening after 5.30 to Sunday Night 8.00 Dog Walking - Saturday and Sunday Someone would always be with your pup during his/her stay at our place. Depending on the energy of the pup and weather, we will head out for multiple walks in the park or stay inside playing. We have a fenced backyard which would be accessible for play time. In case its snowing or raining hard, we prefer to stay inside and have fun playing with toys, balls and what not? 😊

“We had a fantastic experience with Valentina! She took such great care of our pets—lots of playtime, attention, and love. It was clear they were comfortable and happy with her. She also went above and beyond around the house, keeping everything tidy and even helping out with our backyard plants. Valentina kept us updated throughout our trip with regular pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind about both the pets and the house. Highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”

“Hiba was very attentive and caring for Boozer while we were out. She was so accommodating and was understanding about some concerns we had (a very scary experience with another Rover care giver). She put us at ease, and was a pleasure to work with, we would highly recommend her services! Thank you Hiba!”

About: My pet care experience comes primarily from caring for my own dog, who I was the primary caregiver and walker for throughout her 15 years. While living in Australia, our neighbour also entrusted us with caring for his 4-year-old Golden Retriever while he was at work. This included feeding her, taking her for walks, and keeping her at our home during the day. I’ve also regularly helped friends and family care for their pets while they were away, including feeding them, letting them outside, and making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'm currently unemployed as I am new to the area and moved here for my partners work. I am available at any time of day, any day of the week. I am very active and love to be outside rain or shine, so taking pets out on walks, to the park, or to hang out in the yard is aligned with my priorities. I am adaptable to the needs of your pet. I am active and able bodied so I would not struggle assisting a pet that is not as mobile. On the flip side, I love to be outside and active so I am happy to take long walks, spend time outside with your pet, and keep them stimulated with play such as fetch.

About: Les animaux ont toujours occupé une place importante dans ma vie. J’ai grandi entourée de chats et j’ai également eu deux chiens au fil des années. Aujourd’hui, je partage mon quotidien avec Robyn, mon merveilleux compagnon de 4 ans, croisé Bouvier bernois et Berger des Shetland. Je suis une personne de nature calme, attentionnée et rassurante. J’aime prendre le temps de créer un lien avec chaque animal et de respecter son rythme et sa personnalité. Les animaux ont généralement tendance à se sentir rapidement à l’aise en ma présence, ce qui est quelque chose que j’apprécie énormément. Lors de mes visites, je veillerai à respecter les habitudes de votre compagnon : repas et eau fraîche, sorties, litière, jeux, câlins et moments de présence selon ses besoins. Je serai attentive à vos consignes et aux petits détails qui font partie de sa routine. Je sais aussi combien il est rassurant d’avoir des nouvelles lorsqu’on confie son animal à quelqu’un. Je pourrai donc vous envoyer des photos et un petit compte rendu de mes visites. Mon objectif est simple : prendre soin de votre animal avec douceur et attention afin que vous puissiez vous absenter l’esprit tranquille. 🐶🐱 J’ai un horaire qui me permet d’être flexible et d’intégrer facilement les visites à domicile et les promenades à ma routine. Je peux être disponible à différents moments de la journée, en semaine comme la fin de semaine, selon mes disponibilités et les besoins de votre animal. 🐾 La sécurité et le bien-être de votre animal sont toujours ma priorité. Je prends le temps de connaître vos consignes, ses habitudes, son tempérament et sa routine afin de m’adapter à ses besoins. Lors des visites à domicile, je respecte son environnement et son rythme tout en veillant à ses besoins : nourriture, eau fraîche, litière, jeux, câlins et présence selon sa personnalité. Pour les promenades, je m’adapte au rythme, à l’âge et au niveau d’énergie de votre chien. Je demeure attentive à son environnement et je respecte vos indications concernant la laisse, les interactions avec les autres chiens et les habitudes de promenade. Mon objectif est qu’il puisse profiter de sa sortie de façon agréable et sécuritaire.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’m now a Shiba Inu dog mom and I’ve raised since he was a puppy so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. Having him has taught me a lot about patience, routines, and how different every dog’s personality can be. I also have experience caring for cats and really enjoy getting to know each pet and what makes them feel comfortable. Whether that means going for walks, playing, keeping them company, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I try to make things feel as normal as possible while their family is away. I’m also a certified dog groomer, which has given me even more hands-on experience working with dogs of different breeds, ages, and temperaments. I currently offer house sitting and pet sitting in your home, so I can keep your pets comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. My schedule can be flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, sleep, and care schedule while you’re away. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to follow the routine and instructions their family provides. I pay close attention to doors, gates, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything else related to their safety. I also respect your home and will make sure your pet receives plenty of supervision, affection, playtime, walks, and quiet time depending on their personality and needs. I’m happy to send regular photo and video updates so you know how they’re doing.

About: J'ai travaillÊ au coeur d'un refuge animalier et d'organismes à but non lucratif ainsi qu'au besoin de l'entourage. J'Êtends maintenant mon aide ici en espÊrant faire des heureux :). Besoins particuliers, allergies, handicaps, seniors et bien plus, chacun de vos compagnons a droit au même niveau d'attention et d'amour (avec un faible pour nos seniors ;). Au plaisir de rencontrer vos toutous et matous et de vous donner un coup de patte! I worked with an animal shelter and multiple non-profit organizations as well as relatives & friends. I'm now extending my help here hoping to bring peace of mind to some in need of it :). Specific & special needs, allergies, handicaps, seniors, and many more, each and every one of your companions are as worthy of our love and care (with a small bias for the seniors ;). I am looking forward to meeting your doggies and kitties and lend you a paw! J'ai un horaire pratiquement libre à temps plein en terme de choix sur la ou les journÊes dÊsirÊes. Trouvons ensemble le moment idÊal pour vos besoins! I currently have almost full time availability in terms of selection of days. Let's try to make it happen within your needs shall we! Mes services se dÊroulent un à un avec votre ou vos animaux de compagnie. Je ne mixe pas plusieurs clients à moins d'en avoir la demande et ce seulement si les animaux se connaissent dÊjà sans problème. Pour ma sÊcuritÊ et celle de tous les animaux sous ma garde, en contact avec l'Êquipement utilisÊ entre les diffÊrents mÊnages, je requiers une vaccination à jour, autant chez les chiens que les chats. Je lave mon Êquipement rÊgulièrement mais je prÊfère largement prÊvenir que guÊrir <3. Une fiche avec les informations nÊcessaires en cas d'urgence me suit Êgalement. Le bien-être et la sÊcuritÊ de vos compagnons est et sera toujours ma prioritÊ #1. My services are always one on one with your pet(s). I do not mix clients unless specifically requested and solely if all animals previously met eachother without problems. For my own safety and the one of animals under my care coming in contact with equipment used between different homes, I require up to date vaccination for dogs and cats alike. I wash and clean my equipment regularly but I much rather be safe than sorry <3. A form with all necessary information in case of emergency follows me at all time as well. The welfare of your companion is and will always be my #1 priority.

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: I have several years of hands-on experience working with animals in both veterinary and pet care settings. I’ve worked as a client care receptionist in animal hospitals, where I regularly interacted with pets of all temperaments, assisted with handling animals, checked pets in for surgery and wellness visits, and helped administer medications when needed. I’ve also worked at PetSmart and a grooming salon, where I cared for animals daily, assisted groomers, bathed and brushed dogs, monitored pet behavior, and ensured pets were safe, comfortable, and happy. Through these roles, I’ve learned how to recognize stress signals, handle pets calmly, and provide compassionate care—especially for nervous or senior animals. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about animal well-being. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I am an assistant basketball coach and have practices for 1–2 hours on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Outside of those times, I am available throughout the day for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care. I occasionally have games on weekends, but I still maintain availability before and after games and will always communicate clearly in advance. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work around your pet’s routine! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I carefully follow all instructions provided regarding feeding, medications, walks, litter box care, and playtime. I always approach pets calmly and patiently, paying close attention to their body language and individual needs. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and affection based on what they’re comfortable with. With my experience working in animal hospitals and pet care settings, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, including shy, senior, or nervous animals, and administering medications when needed. I also respect your home by keeping things clean and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is being well cared for.

About: I truly love animals and have always had a strong connection with them. I used to have two small dogs — one of them was a Cocker Spaniel who sadly passed away a few years ago, after months of effort and care to try to save him. I still have another little boy, but he’s far from me right now and I miss him deeply. Taking care of your pet would mean a lot to me — I’ll give them the same love, affection, and gentle care I gave my own. I’ll treat your furry friend like one of my own little companions. i have available time and i’m free in weekends i hope you trust me. Cuddle them and provide their meals with care. i love pets I’ll try to become their friend, pet them to ease their loneliness, make sure they eat properly, and play with them a lot.thanks for your trust

FAQs for House Sitting - Varennes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 1,124 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Varennes. About 85% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Varennes maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Varennes walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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!

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, a background check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our .

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

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
