“Susan and her husband were just wonderful with our senior dog. She required a special diet with supplements and lots of TLC, which they followed through with just great. They have a lovely enclosed yard and a sweet pup of their own to provide company. Will definitely be making use of their services again.”
“Erena is an absolute angel! The love and care she gave my cat was extremely comforting. We needed to go out of town for two months and had no one to watch Charlie. She took him into her home. Let him sleep on her bed and administered his pills twice a day. She frequently sent text and pictures and communicated and he needs that would arise. I almost don’t want to tell people how wonderful she is, but she deserves the recognition. We are extremely grateful to Erena and her husband for including Charlie into her family. Would absolutely book again if needed.”
“Dave and Mary were amazing to our pups. They were very flexible when our flight was delayed and one of the pups needed extra medicine during our absence. Their communication and pics were very reassuring and almost daily. Couldn't have left my dogs with anyone better. Awesome experience. Will use again for sure!”
“Kelly took great care of our dog! She checked in and sent pictures and videos. She took him to run around and play fetch, go on walks, and treated him like one of her own pets. We so appreciated the peace of mind having him stay with her while we were out of town.”
“Cecilia was excellent! She stayed in contact regarding important matters only, while away on business. She was professional and I received picture updates regarding my pup. He really enjoyed his stay. I WILL CERTAINLY BE WORKING WITH CECILIA AGAIN FOR FUTURE TRIPS :-).”
“We had another fantastic experience with Marissa. This was her second time watching our 11 years old dachshund, and we couldn't be happier. Since he's a senior dog, it means the world to us knowing he's in such gentle, attentive, and caring hands. He was so happy, relaxed, and well-cared for the entire time. We will definitely be booking Marissa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
“Sarah was excellent! She sent us photos and updates of our dog Gus while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was understanding and able to care for our senior dog with special needs. Would highly recommend!”
“They took such great care of Abu! I really appreciated all the updates and pictures—they kept me in the loop the whole time. It was clear Abu was having the best time and felt really comfortable and welcomed.”
“Jen took great care of my dogs for 5 days. She sent me updates and pictures every day. One of the dogs had an upset stomach and Jen kept me up to date on how she was doing. She cared for them like her own dog!! I will be booking with her again. I highly recommend!!”
“Luciana took care of our 11 year old Beagle overnight and took extra special care of him. He enjoyed some yummy treats and a morning walk and plenty of yard time. We will definitely rebook again! Thank you!”
“"We are so happy we found Sana to watch Yogi while we were away for six days over spring break! It is always a bit nerve-wracking leaving a pet for nearly a week, but we were able to relax knowing he was in such great hands. Sana was professional, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. We received regular updates, which we really appreciated. Yogi came home happy, healthy, and well-rested. We would recommend Sana to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and we will definitely be reaching out again for future trips!”
“Bob boarded my two dogs for 5 nights and they had a great time! He sent me photos and videos each day which made me feel so comfortable that they were having fun on their vacation just like we were. Highly recommend!”
“Eileen was AMAZING with our dog Charlie! She sent lots of photos and commentary on how he was doing during his 5 day stay with him. She took him on private walks, gave him lots of play time in her yard and played games with him to keep him busy (and even let him sleep on her bed!). She was also very responsive throughout his stay, accommodating to us in our drop off/pick up times and very knowledgable about dogs in general. We will definitely have Charlie board with Eileen again in the future! She's a true animal lover!”
About: I've taken care of dogs pretty much non-stop since 2003. I take the welfare of any animal very seriously and promise to be attentive to all your pet's needs. My #1 goal is your peace of mind while away from your fur kids or any other animal family members. I'm retired and working part-time. A job that involves caring for animals is by far my preferred option, and making sure I'm available to devote my full attention to pet care is very important to me. If I were lucky enough for you to entrust your pet(s) to my care, he, she, or they would be my #1 priority. I pay close attention to the welfare of any pets entrusted to my care, including my own, of course. They're always the center of attention, and I am always focused on being responsive to their needs.
“Our one-year-old mini-goldendoodle spent almost 5 days with Lyn. We are very happy with our experience! Lyn sent us photos and updates regularly. Our pup looked great in all of the photos having fun with Lyn and family. Lyn also does dog grooming and when we picked up our pup, he looked very handsome! Nice extra benefit! We will definitely be boarding our pup again with Lyn next month!”
“Arielle was wonderful with Charlie! She kept me updated, took great care of him, and made sure he felt comfortable. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. Highly recommend!”
“Lulu enjoyed her stay with Kira. Kira took Lulu on regular walks; played frisbee with her; and bought her a fun new toy. We could tell that Lulu was enjoying herself in the photos Kira sent. We are very glad that we found Kira and highly recommend her.”
“We had a great experience boarding our dog with Jackie! She was very thorough and respectful of all of our dog's needs and preferences. We received updates and pictures a few times a day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was having a wonderful time—especially having Jackie's dogs as playmates. She was very capable and attentive, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dog in her care. Marty is looking forward to staying at Jackie's again!”

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 4,118 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Barrington. About 91% of Barrington 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
