“Thank you Judy for an outstanding experience for our beloved dog and for all of us. Your love and caring for Tesla was so wonderful. You communicated twice a day with pictures and updates and they were detailed and reassuring. We really looked forward to our mini chats. Your responsiveness was also great. We knew we could reach you at any time, not that we needed to 😊. You also provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved being in your home. He was a truly contented pup while he was with you. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you, for providing a home away from home for our dog. Thanks also for grooming him and keeping him in a tip top condition. We cannot say enough about the wonderful service and care you provided. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing he was in the best care we could have arranged for him. Thanks again and any dog is lucky to have a home with you while their owners need to be away. We certainly were. I cannot recommend you enough. You are truly the best!!!! 🐕💕🙏🥰”
“Hannah is probably one of the best dog sitters I’ve met. Piper would rather stay with her than come home! Without a doubt will be using Hannah as much as possible. She sends daily updates and her timely replies and flexibility is unmatched.”
“This is the second time I've used June and Wade. We had to add an additional day and thank goodness they were available! Another wonderful stay. Several pictures were sent. He really makes himself at home with them. Will definitely use them again!”
“Patricia took amazing care of Zoey. She was great with sending us video and photo updates which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Patricia and look forward to having her watch Zoey again.”
“Danielle and her family were absolutely incredible with my dog, Pretzel! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was going to be fully embraced as part of their family. She provided timely updates, photos, and messages that truly put my mind at ease — and honestly made me miss my boy even more in the sweetest way. Pretzel was active, engaged, and showered with cuddles — exactly the kind of love and attention he receives at home. It genuinely felt like while I was on vacation, he was on one too! The level of care Danielle and her family provided was exceptional. When I brought Pretzel home, I could even tell he felt the “void” of leaving them — which speaks volumes about how loved and comfortable he was in their care. I am beyond grateful and already looking forward to my next trip knowing Pretzel will be in such amazing hands. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶✨”
“Penny looked after Ginger as a trial night before we go on a longer trip this summer. I could tell Ginger had a blast and Penny is very caring with the dogs. I’m not concerned with leaving my pup with Penny when I have to be gone this summer. Thank you Penny and Ginger and I will see you again soon!”
“My puppy, Corey, stayed at Jackie's home for 6 days while I was on vacation. She sent a bunch of pictures, several each day. Corey did not have to be leashed during his stay much at all, because Jackie has a beautiful fenced in backyard. I feel incredibly grateful to have found her on Rover. I could tell from the pictures that Corey was having so much fun and was in very capable hands. I was able to totally enjoy my vacation. Thank you so much, Jackie!”
“We had a great experience with Meghan! Freddy was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout the stay, and we really appreciated the updates and photos. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands and would happily book again.”
“Chris was magic to work with. Super communicative, easy-going and ultimately a dog lover. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who is looking for extended dog boarding. (We used Chris for over a week while moving down to Florida). Thanks again for having our Pyradoodle!”
“Alicia was the best! I knew from our meet and greet that she was going to be great with Tig and of course she was. I had no worries while we were out of town as she sent updates and photos of our Tig often. I can tell he is going to miss his new hangout and all their love & cuddles. I will absolutely book again if I need to in the future.”
“Michael took great care of Kiki again! This was the third time we have left Kiki with Michael in the last few months and every time he has done an excellent job keeping and caring for her. We always receive lots of photos of Kiki from him, which is great for our peace of mind. We will definitely be boarding Kiki with Michael again.”
“Niratcha has been great. Very informative, sent me pictures and videos daily, I truly felt so comfortable leaving Kahu with this family. Highly recommend, and will definitely be back next time ?”
“Dorothy is amazing and we couldn’t recommend her enough. She took the time to get to know my pup and her needs, and sent many updates while we were away. We are happy to have found someone we trust so much!”
“Once again, Jessica and her family are the perfect hosts for my Bear. This is the third time he has stayed with him and I can tell he is getting the very best care I could possibly ask for. She’s great about sending pictures and letting me know how things are going. I can’t say enough about Jessica!”
“Wonderful, fun place for my sweet little dog to spend his vacation. Ewa and her husband truly love dogs. They send lots of photos and videos. Their dogs are so mellow about having even small dogs around. Mochi is well taken care of there. He loves going and I love being confident he is happy there.”
“Michelle was great and went completely out of her way to pick up meds for our dog and administer while we were out on vacation. Always nice knowing your pets are with someone who truly cares for their well-being.”
“David and Mary were great! They sent me pictures of how my dog Pluto was doing when I dropped him off on an extended stay of 9 days. I could tell that he was loved and had a very comfortable stay with David and Mary. Would definitely book with them again.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Barrington on Rover is $69.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,132 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barrington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Barrington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Barrington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Barrington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Barrington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Barrington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
