“Camille est ma nouvelle gardienne Rover pour toujours. Mes chats qui n'ont pas l'habitude de venir voir nos invités on été tellement à l'aise avec Camille qu'ils l'attendait à la porte pour des câlins. Les photos était exceptionnel ainsi que la communication. On avait plus de craintes être en vacances 2 semaines sachant que nos bébés était en bonnes mains. Elle va aussi être la gardienne pour notre chien à nouveau car il va être en famille avec elle. Camille est une gardienne exceptionnelle qui prend soin de ton bébé comme le sien - elle à une vrai aptitude pour les animaux.”

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: 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? 😊

About: Je me distingue par mon approche calme, attentive et fiable. J'aime prendre le temps d'observer chaque chien afin de comprendre son tempérament, son niveau d'énergie et ses habitudes pour lui offrir des soins adaptés. Je respecte toujours les consignes des propriétaires, qu'il s'agisse des horaires, des routines, de l'alimentation ou des préférences de leur compagnon. Je crois qu'une bonne communication est essentielle, c'est pourquoi j'envoie régulièrement des nouvelles et des photos pour que les propriétaires aient l'esprit tranquille. Ayant un mode de vie actif, je suis à l'aise avec les promenades, les jeux et les activités qui permettent aux chiens de dépenser leur énergie tout en restant en sécurité. Je continue également à développer mes connaissances sur le comportement canin afin d'offrir une expérience positive autant pour les chiens que pour leurs propriétaires. Je travaille de la maison, ce qui me permet d'offrir une présence régulière et de la compagnie aux chiens tout au long de la journée. Cette flexibilité est un grand avantage pour les animaux qui apprécient une présence humaine et des sorties adaptées à leur rythme. Je suis également disponible les soirs, les fins de semaine et certains jours fériés. Afin d'offrir un service de qualité, je limite volontairement le nombre de réservations que j'accepte. La sécurité et le bien-être de votre compagnon sont toujours ma priorité. Je prends le temps de me familiariser avec ses habitudes, son niveau d'énergie et vos consignes avant chaque service. Lors des promenades, je demeure attentif à l'environnement, j'évite les situations à risque et je respecte le rythme de votre chien. Si je me rends à votre domicile, je veille à respecter votre espace tout en maintenant la routine de votre animal afin qu'il se sente en confiance. Je communique régulièrement avec les propriétaires en envoyant des nouvelles et des photos pour qu'ils puissent partir l'esprit tranquille.

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.

About: Ayant eu des chiens toute ma vie dès un jeune âge, j'a une excellente compréhension du langage canin. Mon dernier chien était un anxieux\reactif aux nouveaux humain, surtout les hommes. On a passé a travers milles émotions ensemble, j'ai donc une empathie trés grande envers les pitous au besoins spéciaux. J'adore tous les animaux, peu importe leur comportements, leurs émotions. Ils méritent tous les meilleurs soin qu'on peut leurs offrir, au meilleures de nos capacités. Notez que mon chien est décédé récemment donc il n'y a aucun autre animaux à la maison durant les gardes. Depuis qu'il est parti, j'ai commencé à garder les chiens dans mon entourage et ça me fait beaucoup de bien d'être entourée d'animaux dans mon quotidien. Travailleuse autonome depuis 5 ans, j'ai donc beaucoup de temps à la maison et faire des petites promenades est vraiment apprécié dans mon mode de vie! Cela me permet de prendre l'air et rester active au quotidien. Je comprend beaucoup les enjeux de territoire avec des chiens avec des tendances plus territoriales. Donc il est important pour moi de respecter les limites de l'animal, chez lui ainsi que chez moi. Je comprend aussi qu'être séparé de son maitre peut être une source de stress et d'anxiété de séparation pour certains animaux. Donc il me fera plaisir d'être aux petits soin avec chacuns d'eux, du plus haut de mes capacités. J'aime faire des promenades, aller au parc a chien, sur le bord de l'eau, trouver des endroits ou le faire courrir, lui donner des friandises et plein de calins si il le désire.

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: 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.

“Pamela is such a sweetheart. She's done doggy daycare for me in the past, but this time she stopped by to check in on my cat while I was out of town with the dog. She took photos to let me know my request for litter cleaning was complete and that my cat was doing well. She also left a very nice note for me for when I got home. Will definitely be booking her again for both my dog and cat!”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Varennes

Frequently asked questions about Rover

There are 1,731 sitters on Rover for Pet Sitting in Varennes. About 85% 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.

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 Varennes 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 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!

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. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
