“We had a wonderful experience with Katie and cannot recommend her enough! She was extremely responsive, organized, and friendly. We got daily pics and updates and she took wonderful care of Moose. We will definitely use her again!”
“Ansley took excellent care of our two boys during the longest time we’ve ever spent away from them! We were very anxious to leave them for so long but she provided updates and her and her husband gave them lots of love and cuddles while we were away. Thank you for the peace of mind, Ansley!”
“Kiana was truly amazing. I had a sudden family emergency that required me to go out of state. She went so far above and beyond during that time, while having no obligation to do so. From the beginning of the cats stay with Kiana, she had been so incredibly flexible, she agreed to watch them with only two days notice, and due to the situation evolving and becoming unpredictable, she was more than happy to allow me to extend their stay. She was the direct cause of so much stress relief due to knowing the cats were safe, and well taken care of. 5/5 human. As for her actual care of the kitties she again went well above and beyond anything anyone might think is going the extra mile. The cats were given the space needed to become comfortable and very quickly, and happily adapted to the new routine. I received frequent pictures and videos, she was very communicative, and because of her vigilance we were able to create a plan of action for one of the kitties who started throwing up more frequently than normal. She even went out and bought higher quality food for the cats, and implemented a structured feeing strategy so we could better assess the puking, which I doubt was an easy task since they both free fed before they were boarded. She kept me up to date at all times and provided regular, detailed updates. 5/5 for animal care as well. She is the best sitter/boarder I have ever had any experience with, by exponents, it’s not even close. Her service was head, and shoulders above anyone I’ve personally used before and far better than anything I’ve heard about other boarders. Choosing Kiana to care for your pets should be an insanely easy decision for anyone who wants their animals taken care of at the highest level of care, and wants someone that is just a straight up good human as well.”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“Nicole is such a lovely person and we’re so glad to have found her! She took good care of our weirdo husky and he came home tired, which is no small feat! We can’t recommend her enough and will definitely reach out to Nicole again when we need doggy coverage in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of a family dog Chihuahua for the past 8 years. I enjoy taking her on walks and giving her all the attention she deserves! I currently am on a job rotation in Maine. I am unable to take the step to caring for a dog full time, but I’d love to fill the void with weekly care! I care for a dog like I’d care for a family member. It’s important for me to create a comfortable environment for the dog to hang around in
About: I have had my dog for over 9 years. She is very good with others. I have a fenced in backyard, and a doggy door of the screened porch. When we are home during the day in good temperatures, the door to the house will be open giving dogs the freedom of where they want to relax or play. I am currently a stay at home Mom to my wonderful twins therefore I have a pretty flexible schedule I can work around, especially if it avoids the kids naps. I have a fenced in backyard that is connected to the house via a screened in porch so there are many options of where to hang out. At night everyone is inside.
“Suzanne did such a great job keeping us informed on Mabel-daily pictures and updates! She even had a doggy birthday cake for her. I highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs”
About: Hi and thanks for considering me to take care of your dog (s)! I may not have years of experience in owning a dog, (just got our 1st puppy last year!) but I am a huge lover of animals and have years of experience in taking care of them. I'm the girl who stocks up on treats for when my coworkers bring their dogs to work! I'm the girl who cant walk past a dog on a trail without wanting to stop and pet the dogs. I am loving, caring, and will spoil your fur baby with lots of playtime, love, and a fun run or walks! Let's talk about you and your dog's needs! I do work full time from 9-5pm Monday through Friday, with most weekends off, But I can check in on your babies before or after work, if it's just drop ins, or schedule walks. We do live in a nice quiet and low traffic safe neighborhood with plenty of trails around to walk your dog, and I will always abide and follow any special instructions you may have with the utmost care and respect, so that he or she, and YOU, will be happy.
About: I've taken care of many pets including my own dogs and cats through the years. I can bathe your doggie if you'd like and take him/her for walks. I'm a stay at home mom so your pet will get lots of attention each day. I'll take special care of your furry friends! I'm a stay at home mom of three small children. We currently have two cats of our own so your pet will just fall into our routine each day. I live on a quiet side road without a fenced in yard. I'll take your doggie outside on a leash for potty breaks and walks. Your pet will be well loved.
“Kimberlie was fantastic! We left our pup with her for 4 days at the last minute and she was nothing short of amazing in her updates, structure, playtime and overall care she gave to Bernie. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for someone to take care of their dog with as much love as they do...Bernie almost did not want to come back with us :) We will definitely be booking with Kimberlie again in the future, thank you!”
“Rebecca made us feel welcome right from our first meet and greet. It was my first long term stay away without my dog and I was very nervous. Rebecca's warmth eased my anxiety. I highly recommend!”
“Sheila was fantastic! We traveled from out of state for our son's wedding. We contacted Sheila after reading her bio. She was communicative, friendly, and professional. Our meet and greet went well from the beginning and our ability to leave our dog without reserve was such a gift that allowed us to truly enjoy our family time away from home. Sheila is truly a special person.”
“Rebecca was personable and gave updates during our pup’s stay. Rebecca engaged our pup with socialization and training reinforcement. Our pup seemed to have enjoyed her stay and came back safe and sound.”
“Joshua watched our two German Shepherds for a week while we went on vacation. It was the first time someone other than family watched our pets and we were very anxious about it. After our meet and greet at Joshua’s home we were immediately put at ease. While away Joshua sent us almost daily updates with photos so we could see how our dogs were doing. They were having the best time and enjoying a vacation of their own. One of our dogs required daily medications which was not a problem. We can’t thank Joshua enough for taking such great care of our pets and allowing us the ability to enjoy our vacation without worry. We highly recommend Joshua and will definitely have him watch our pets again in the future!”
“Jaclyn and Eric were great. They run a well-oiled operation and our dog was very happy there. Plenty of play time and relaxing as well. Great communication and we would definitely board our dog there again. Thank you.”
“Gary provides truly great services. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet. He is great with our dogs and they are truly a handful. Gary also communicates well at all times. He keeps us informed and responds to questions timely. He sent pictures of the dogs all during the stay. Our dogs had a great time with Gary. Again I highly recommend his services.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
Noreen was fantastic as always! Faye has stayed with Noreen multiple times now, and she always comes back an incredibly happy and (thankfully) tired pup. We are always very relieved when we can have Noreen watch Faye because of how well she cares for Faye during her stay.
Noreen and her family were absolutely wonderful with my dog, Merry. She’s an anxious girly, and boarding can be a big hurdle for her — but Noreen met her exactly where she was. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Merry was treated with patience, kindness, and so much genuine care. Noreen’s family made her feel right at home and treated her like a member of their own family, not just a guest. It meant the world to me to have that peace of mind. When I picked Merry up, she was tired (in the best way!) and fell asleep as soon as she got home — a sure sign of a fun, full, happy visit. I’m so grateful for the thoughtful, attentive care Merry received. We will definitely be booking 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.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Barrington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barrington. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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 NH 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
