About: I am a caring and responsible animal lover with many years of hands-on experience. For over 7 years, I regularly helped my neighbor take care of her dogs â including daily walks, feeding, companionship, and sometimes looking after multiple dogs at once. I have also had pets my entire life, including cats, a dog, and small animals like hamsters. This has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, patience, and the importance of routine and safety. I am currently available full-time and can provide constant care and attention. I offer flexible scheduling, including half-day stays, daytime care, and in-home boarding in a safe and calm environment I provide calm, attentive, and personalized care based on each petâs needs and routine. In my home: I follow the ownerâs instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, ĐżŃОгŃНки (walks), and any special needs. Pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and gentle supervision throughout the day. I make sure they are never left alone for long periods. In my clientâs home: I respect your home and your petâs ĐżŃивŃŃĐ˝ŃŃ ŃŃĐľĐ´Ń (routine). I keep their schedule consistent â feeding, walks, playtime, and rest â so they feel secure and less stressed while you are away. I am reliable, clean, and attentive to details. I always pay close attention to each animalâs behavior and mood to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, all different breeds with all different needs. My current dog lives with seizures and continuously needs attention, meds, and different foods, so I understand that all dogs need special care, and lots of love! My schedule varies, but I am actively looking to make extra money over the summer, so I will do my best to make bookings work! If visiting your home to care for your pup, I can take them on a walk, play with them, feed them, clean up any accidents if necessary, or give them meds if needed! I want to care for them just the same as you would.

âPatrick is meticulous. He went above and beyond and loved taking care of my cat Snickers! Her coat was so clean too as he brushed her. He gave her her insulin shots and left my place clean as a whistle! He certainly loves pet sitting! I highly recommend him.â
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I bring a lifetime of hands on experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with cats, have cared for a diabetic dog who required daily medication and consistent monitoring, and currently share my home with an energetic 80 lb dog. These experiences have taught me that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or requires extra attention, Iâll provide patient, dependable care tailored to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while youâre away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and give you peace of mind knowing theyâre in caring, capable hands. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As the owner of an 80 lb dog, Iâm already committed to daily walks, playtime, feeding, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to reliably care for clientsâ pets, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection while respecting any special instructions or medical needs. I also make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them patience, attention, and companionship. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and their owners can feel at ease while theyâre apart.
About: Hello! My name is Tim and I am here on Rover to expand a startup dog care service. I have always loved dogs, and life guided me into a career in dog care and training. I started working at its a dogs world in York, ME at their daycare eight years ago and fell in love with dogs even more! Our customers started inquiring about dog sitting and my dog sitting career was born. I have been dog sitting for the entirety of the time I have been with IDW. I then learned how to be a PR+ trainer and have been teaching classes and private lessons for the past 6 years. I own a Pyr X named Misty who has been fearful for most of her life, but we have made a lot of progress over the years. If you own a fearful dog and don't have anyone who you can trust, I am your guy! In the future I plan on focusing on rehabilitating fearful dogs. If you are interested in my services, please contact me via the app. I have plenty of references if you require some.
âNicole was terrific! She did a great job getting our older & very shy cat to take her medicine and overall took wonderful care of our two cats while we were away. It was great to know that they were in such good hands and we would definitely ask Nicole to sit for us again.â

âHaley was awesome! Very quick to reply and an excellent communicator. She accomodated my last-minute pup sitting request with an upbeat, helpful attitude. Would highly recommend and will definately be booking her again soon :)â

About: I offer animal communication readings for you and your pet. You simply ask your pet questions and I relay their answers! I have been a psychic for 13 years. I work for myself so I can create my own schedule. I do my animal communication calls over zoom and am pretty flexible in terms of days/times. I can do readings for any type of animal. Clients freaking love getting readings to feel closer to their pets! I care for pets by making sure they are seen and understood. Have you ever had a sitter that could actually talk to your pet? It's a game changer!

About: I have always been such a dog lover and have gained experience taking care of others dogs as well as my own dog in the past 5 years. I am a very active person so I love to take my dog and others outside for walks, hikes and adventures. My dog is a rescue which has provided me with experience in what it takes to make a dog feel comfortable, loved and well taken care of in their home environment. I work in healthcare however in a very flexible position that allows me to make my own schedule. That way I can work around the needs of the dog. It is so important to me to give each pet the care that they deserve and to make them as comfortable and cared for as possible in their home.
About: Hello. I have been in the pet service business for 20+yrs. Walking, Sitting, Injections, Yard Clean Up, etc. I have experience with some farm animals as I have a small farm client. Six Horses, One Cow and several Chickens. I have working experience when it comes to separation anxiety with pups and with special needs. I currently have weekly, bi-weekly and as needed sitting times available. I do have my personal clients scheduled 5 days a week times vary. I am willing to work around clients needs as my clients are flexible. Currently I am only taking clients in their home. My fur baby is older and has recently become a bit grumpy. I am always willing to take your babies on pup outings upon request.

About: Growing up, my family always had at least one dog in the household (boxers, a lab/pitbull mix, aussies, and even a chihuahua). Going to school in Boston, my roommates and I dog walked one dog daily and dog sat for a total of 4 others. Moving up to the seacoast area, I have begun volunteering (walking, fostering, and assisting with events) for a local shelter in my free time. This has included puppies as young as 2 months to larger mature dogs for anywhere from a sleepover to as long as 2 weeks. I work full time Monday through Friday but have some flexibility with my hours. Outside of work I stay very active but I am eager to work some dog time into my schedule. I cannot have dogs at my residence due to rental requirements but am happy to take dogs on walks/adventures and dog sit wether that be for a few hours or days at the dogâs/clientâs home.
About: I am a trusted dog/cat sitter for a little over 8 years for friends and family. I also have my own pup named Bella who is 10 years old. I thrive to expand my knowledge, meet more furry friends and take on more responsibility as a dog/cat sitter. I work at a financial institution (9-5), which allow me to have mornings and afternoons free. I get up early, to get the day started, let animals out or go for walks, and fresh food or water. I don't have a lot of space in my own apartment to have many animals. I do frequent many trails that I take Bella to! I have large dog park and long walking trail not far from me. Totally up to preference, it is important for your animal to be as comfortable as possible.

âJen did an excellent job caring for our cats while we were on vacation! We have two cats, and one has special medical needs as she is diagnosed with diabetes and requires insulin shots twice a day. Jen was very patient with her, as she has some bathroom issues also due to her diabetes and doesnât always make it all the way into the litter box. Our other cat is a Maine Coon who requires some extra enrichment and attention. Jen took the time to play with him each time she visited. Jen checked in with us often, sent us pictures and provided us with detailed daily reports about each of our cats. We highly recommend Jen!â

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Barrington is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $61 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,465 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Barrington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your petâs usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Barrington 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 are not on the Department of Justiceâs 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.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
While Rover doesnât offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Barrington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days youâd like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
