About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16. I’ve owned a black lab growing up, and a German Shepard that my parents got. I currently own a Black Cat named Lucky for the last 6 Years. Hes sweet. I take care of my girlfriend’s dog all the time who is a 5 year old Morkie. I also have always been a huge help with friends and family in dog care taking, dogs and cats are one of my true passions! My schedule varies, but I always try my best to be open. Most weekends I am free. Some weekdays as well. It all depends. I am a co parent. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I follow the owner’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications or special instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

About: About Me 🐾❤️ As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your beloved pets. You can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring every step of the way. I’ll treat your fur babies like my own, following their routines, respecting your instructions, and giving them plenty of love, patience, and personalized care while you’re away. I grew up surrounded by all kinds of animals, including farm animals, dogs, cats, and parrots. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy! Today, my home is filled with my two dogs—a 7-year-old Plott Hound and a 4-year-old Golden Retriever—as well as my African Grey parrot. We recently lost our sweet orange kitty, Jack, and he will always hold a special place in our hearts. ❤️🐱 I absolutely love being outdoors, so if your pup enjoys adventures, I’d be happy to take them for a walk or hike and give them fun, enriching time outside. I’m also comfortable caring for pets in snow, rain, or heat, so the weather won’t stop me from providing reliable care! ☀️🌧️❄️ Most importantly, I’ll take the time to get to know your pets, understand their personalities and routines, and keep you updated so you can feel confident and worry-free while you’re away. Your pets’ safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I would be honored to care for them. 🐶🐱🐴🦜💕 My Availability 🐾 To start, while I build my clientele, I’m available early mornings, after 4 PM on weekdays, weekends, and holidays! ❤️ I’m excited to meet some amazing new pets and their families and hopefully become someone you can count on whenever you need a little extra help caring for your fur babies. 🐶🐱🐾 Your pets’ safety and comfort are my top priorities. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own environment, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. In my home, I have two dogs and an African Grey parrot, so I understand how important it is to keep a safe, calm, and clean environment for all animals. I would always take the time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I will treat your home with the same respect I would expect in my own. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your pets’ routines as consistent as possible, and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident and comfortable knowing your pets are being cared for by someone who genuinely loves animals. 🐶🐱🐴🦜💕
“Owen came to walk our big Shepsky while we were out of town. My dog loved him! Owen was reliable, friendly, and clearly really good with dogs. We will definitely use him again in the future! Thank you from Timber and us!”

About: Pet sitter with 10 years experience. 5 years veterinary experience as well as training and grooming experience. I've never had a job that didn't involve animals and I would never change that. My passion for animal care is unmatched and I truly love what I do. I'm able to provide an array of different services including but not limited to day long hikes as well as beach trips. Whether your furry friend needs a quick 30-minute walk or an all-day adventure, I've got you covered! Mine and my fiancé's life revolves around our own 2 dogs and they are spoiled rotten. They're the reason I get up in the morning, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. From 6 am wake-up calls for puppy cuddles to 10 pm bedtime stories (yes, you read that right - my dogs love a good bedtime story!), our fur babies are the center of our universe. Some fun facts about me are I played competitive travel softball for 13 years - I'm talking national championships, folks! And in my free time, when not hiking with my own dogs or yours, I love to get creative with pottery. It's my go-to stress-reliever, and I hope to open my own studio one day. But enough about me - let's talk about your furry friend! What are their favorite toys, treats, and activities!! Tell me everything, and let's get this paw-some adventure started! I’m currently working full time as a pet sitter!! So if you need someone reliable and consistent please feel free to reach out! I’m here for you :) I’m currently working with no yard so we have changed the “normal” we plan 1 adventure a day for boarding dogs weather that be a long hike.. a trip to the beach or in indoor activity in a pet friendly store you’re pup will be well occupied. Boarding pups will also get multiple 15-30 min walks a day and have full access to my home. I have 2 pups who are 2 different activity levels so someone will always have a friend. The toy basket is bottomless and the couch is fair game :) when your pup stays with me they will always be the number 1 priority.

About: I have owned animals all my life and have plenty of enrichment activities- snuffle matts, snuffle balls, puzzle toys, regular toys, and a big yard to play in! I love animals and this is currently a full time job for me being a pet sitter and owner. I make my dog my life and we go for walks and adventures daily. I make a schedule for my own dog, which includes puzzle toys for breakfast, an afternoon walk or adventure, snuffle mats and balls for later, and plenty of cuddles throughout the day!
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 — 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 pet’s needs and routine. In my home: I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, прогулки (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 client’s home: I respect your home and your pet’s привычную среду (routine). I keep their schedule consistent — feeding, walks, playtime, and rest — 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 animal’s behavior and mood to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times.

About: I have extensive experience with small and large dogs, including raising & training two male German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois. I can walk for long distances and can handle highly energetic, large, or anxious dogs. I can transport dogs in my car easily - if they have a favorite place, feel free to let me know! I am able to host dogs at my apartment & I have all the necessities. High energy dogs can be exercised (on-leash) at various parks nearby. I am a freelance writer, which allows my schedule to be as flexible as I need it to be. I am available pretty much 24/7. I live in an urban area, but I have access to parks and several walking trails. I try to keep a good balance between rest and stimulating activities.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I have just completed my first year of Veterinary Technician school and have done 3 different internships in the field. I am very well versed with simple care, medications, and most importantly love for the animals! My schedule fluctuates very frequently as I have a part time job and im also completeing an internship, however I can easily work my schedule around whatever the animals need! I have a fenced yard with a very friendly pup at home. I can also let your pet in and out of crates, give treats and/or medications, take them on walks, and anything else they may need.
About: Hi, I’m Ally! Animals have always been at the heart of my life—my cat is my best friend, but I truly love and care for every creature I meet. I’ve been caring for pets since childhood, from cats and dogs to small animals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. My passion for animals led me to pursue formal training in their care. I began taking animal care classes in high school, earned my Associate’s degree in Animal Sciences from Jackson State Community College, and went on to graduate from The University of Tennessee at Martin with a Bachelor’s in Veterinary Technology. I have hands-on experience from two years of volunteering at the Jackson Animal Care Center and have been working in veterinary clinics since 2022. I’m currently a certified veterinary technician at LoveWell Veterinary Services, where I work with a wide variety of animals every day. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve been a trusted caregiver for friends’ and family’s pets for years. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health, and providing loving companionship to pets with all kinds of needs. At home, I share my life with a friendly cat and a yorkie who both enjoy meeting new animal friends. I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to have more time for your pets! I am off every other Monday and only work half days on Tuesday and Thursday so even if it says I’m unavailable shoot me a message! As your pet sitter, I will care for your pets as if they were my own—providing them with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’ll follow their routine closely, make sure they’re fed and exercised on schedule, and keep them happy with playtime and affection.
About: Hi, I’m Leah! Animals have been the center of my world for as long as I can remember, and I bring that same lifelong love and care into every visit, walk, or cuddle session. Whether it’s a long walk, playful games, feeding, or medication, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved—just like they do with you. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family, so I make communication and dependability my top priorities. You’ll always know how your pet is doing, and you can relax knowing they’re in capable, compassionate hands. Pet care isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time passion. I’ve dedicated my schedule entirely to caring for animals, which means your pets get my full attention, flexibility, and consistency every time. Experience: I've been immersed in the world of pet care since I was young, starting at the tender age of 5 when my cat Spooky had a litter of kittens. Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of caring for pets at every stage, fostering a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors.
About: When I’m not boarding, walking, or doing doggy daycare I’m hanging out with my kiddos. Occasionally I also foster puppies at 8 weeks old and start the potty training process and prepare them to go to their furever home. Does your dogs like to sleep on the couch? Perfect! I do too! Do they prefer to sleep in bed with you at night? Not a problem, come on in! Does your dog need daily walks? You got it! I live on a quiet road off the beaten path. I tend to treat all animals with the respect and love I give my children and I teach my children the same morals. Pets aren’t just pets in my eyes, each dog has needs they need to have met and it’s my job to make that happen when they are in my care. During my high school years I spent my time after school volunteering at the local veterinary clinic assisting the vet techs preform their daily tasks. Growing up I worked on a dairy farm. I know how to administer medications, potty train, bathe, and trim nails. I’m a stay at home mom during the week so I am always home to give my furbabies all the love and attention they want. When I’m home and need to leave your pups will tag along with me through my daily routine and hangout with me. Or if they’d prefer to relax at home and have free range they can! I try to keep a potty and feeding schedule the same as when they are with you. I live in a lake house so if your pups love to swim then this is the place to be! I also have a decent size yard (unfenced) for playing. My two dogs will keep your furbaby company in a doggy sense. My children will also play with your babies so they will definitely have a lot of attention. Inside my house is baby proof so it is also dog proof. Do you want to FaceTime your dog while they are with me? Not a problem, call whenever. I will send pictures and updates throughout the day for you so you know they are okay. Your pets truly are treated like family in my care.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. A few of our dogs even had puppies. One litter started to be born on my bed. When I was in my early 20's I used to pet sit for my co-workers for extra cash. I currently have 4 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I will take care and love your pets as if they were my own because that is how I would like my pets to be taken care of when I am away. I currently work days but I will be delighted to stop in to check on and or walk your pets in the afternoons and evenings. Whatever your request is I am sure I can handle it. If you need cat boxes to be scooped. Or dog poop to be cleaned up while you are away, I will do it no problem. I have no problem giving your pet cuddles while you are away!
About: I love all animals and have been a dog lover since birth! I have cared for dogs & cats for 5 years now and received an Associates Degree for Animal Care & Management in 2022. I have fed, bathed, supervised, administered medication, etc. to all ages and sizes of dogs and cats at my workplace. I have 4-5 days available weekly to care for your fur babies! I am willing to do walks, drop ins and occasional boarding at your home. I am unable to host pets in my own home with my own pup but would be happy to do so at yours. I am trustworthy, reliable, responsible and have a special place in my heart for all animals!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Barrington is $21 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $36 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Barrington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Barrington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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 walker.
