“Amanda is great! She is helping us with Blanche’s reactivity to other dogs and squirrels on walks. We have already seen improvement with Blanche when we walk her. Amanda is calm and kind with Blanche, we could not be happier! Thank you Amanda!”

About: I provide steady, attentive care for animals of all sizes—helping them stay comfortable and relaxed in their own routine while you’re away. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I bring a steady, attentive presence that helps them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. My experience includes everyday care for companion animals as well as hands-on work with horses, including equine bodywork, which has strengthened my ability to stay calm, observant, and responsive with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I follow routines closely—feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter care, and all the small details that matter—and I adapt my approach based on each animal’s personality and needs. Whether your pet is social and energetic or shy and routine-driven, I meet them where they are. You can expect clear communication and consistent updates while you’re away, so you always know your pets are safe and well cared for. I am currently looking to fill in some gaps in my schedule and should be able to accommodate most pet owners and their pet care needs. I follow care instructions closely and treat both your pet and your home with respect and care. Safety, routine, and clear communication are always my priority. If anything comes up or you have questions, I’m easy to reach and will keep you updated while you’re away.
About: I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I had two labs growing up and another lab in my early twenties who I still grieve for today. I currently have no dogs of my own so I pour all my love into my friend’s dogs. The dog I had my twenties had behavioral issues and required patience and understanding in a short amount of time he went from being withdrawn and antisocial to a complete love bug! I’m unemployed but I take care of my disabled mom. Because of this I have a very flexible schedule. I have always loved dogs and miss having one of my own. I’m always excited to spend time with my friend’s dogs. I don’t plan on boarding any dogs at my own home. With how my mom’s health is now it wouldn’t be a good idea to do so.
About: As a dedicated pet sitter with years of hands-on experience, I offer a unique combination of reliability, compassion, and personalized care. I've been the proud owner of a Shih Tzu Bichon since 2018 and have cared for two cats since 2015, so I understand the unique needs of both dogs and cats. Whether it’s managing special diet or maintaining a familiar routine to ensure your pets feel safe and loved, I treat each pet as if they were my own. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and genuine love for animals. I take the time to understand each pet's personality and preferences, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away. Your pets' well-being is my priority, and I strive to provide the highest level of care, whether it's cuddling during quiet moments, engaging in playtime, or taking them for walks. With me, your pets are in trusted, loving hands. I have mostly online classes this semester and I only have to be in person for about an hour on Tuesday and Thursday at 10:30, so the rest of my days can consist of all type of pet loving Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for your pets. In your home, I respect your pet's territory and routines, and I follow any specific instructions you provide to ensure they remain comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure to lock all doors and windows, monitor your pet closely during walks or playtime, and take extra care when administering medications or handling special needs. Communication is key, and I’ll send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy in my care. Above all, I build trust with both pets and owners, ensuring peace of mind while you're away.
“Christine was great! I met her ahead of time and instantly liked her. My dog did too. Everything ran smoothly and I loved getting the photos she sent. I’ll surely use her again.”
About: I have watched dogs for friends and family since I was 12. I have cared for all sizes of dogs and own two dogs myself, one of which is a senior so I am familiar with special needs and instructions. I have been trusted to drop in, feed, let out, and walk dogs and have been trusted to stay overnight with them. I am familiar with special feeding instructions or any quirks that come with every individual dog :) While I am on summer break from school, this is the only job I have so I am frequently available to drop by. I am usually free any day of the week from mid morning until late at night. As long as I am aware ahead of time I will most likely make it fit into my schedule! I will not be offering to care for pets in my own home because one of my dogs has some trust issues with other animals.
“We brought Jessica to our house to meet our German Shepherd Dog Loki to see if she she would be up for the task of walking, watching and taking care of him at times. She was very attentive to his needs and we can see that she is very caring and loving towards dogs. Loki felt that as well and was very comfortable around her. We will be using her in the future anytime we need an extra hand taking care of Loki.”
About: I have been around pets my whole life and know how to read their body language. I am respectful if they need space and let them warm up to me. My family had large dogs and cats growing up that I helped care for and train. I helped care for 3 litters of puppies and I trained the puppies we kept. I also had a cat who was spoiled with love and lots of playtime. I work at a school and don't work during the summer, so I am very flexible. During the school year my availability will be afternoons/evenings on weekdays. I love cats and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I will love your pet like my own! I truly enjoy taking care of cats and dogs and giving them lots of play and affection. I always respect their space if they are afraid, but I am skilled at earning their trust and helping them warm up to me.
“Kati was awesome, I highly recommend her...we have two dogs and they have never had a "sitter" stop by to take them on walks. The dogs loved her and she was always on time and flexible when I needed extra walks. Thanks Kati!!!!”
About: I have been around dogs since I was 5, as my best friend had dogs growing up. I worked at a doggie daycare, so I am comfortable walking and taking care of dogs. I am free in the mornings and early afternoon. I am an actress who has rehearsal at nights. I also have my own pets to take care of, so I won’t be out all day. I will respect the clients home and ensure to keep it clean/not move things around on them. I know how I would like to be treated with my home, and I will do the same for them.
About: As a dog owner, playing with your dog every day might not be easy. But, there is another way to make them happy. I and my 4 years old dog, Grady welcome your furry friend and play with them while you are not around. I’m mostly open during the daytime. I only offer a daycare not a boarding at this time. I take a walk with your dog to get to know each other. I have a fenced yard and 4 years old dog (WPG). He welcomes furry friends and spending time with yours. Our kids love to see and play with yours also.
“Had the opportunity to have Jaime watch my dog overnight after using Jaime as a walker. I can tell you we couldn't be more pleased after having Ernie spend 3 nights at Jaime's house.”

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 your Barrington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
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 traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Barrington.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barrington. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
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.
