“Olivia was fantastic. She was attentive and gave good feedback about our older cat’s daily activity. She was on time and there when she said she would be. I definitely will ask for her to care for our cat again in the future. Many thanks.”
“We were in last minute need of a cat sitter and Jason was absolutely amazing. He hung out with our boys with nearly only 2 hours of a heads up, he saved our night! Definitely will use him again”
“Amanda has been great with my dog Archie. He has some anxiety and reactivity and she’s handled it all so well. She’s always responded quickly and taken lots of photos during her visits which is so nice since I work out of town.”
“Absolutely incredible sitter! Great communication, tons of pictures, and my cats obviously really liked her which is the biggest plus! I hate leaving my pets for extended periods of time but Marion put me immediately at ease after her first visit. Highly highly recommend for your pets!”
About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.
“Donna and Kim are by far the nicest people you could have in your home to take care of your fur babies. They are dependable, caring, and flexible if you need them to be. Thanks to you both, I appreciate you!”
“Betsy was able to accommodate a last minute drop in request and followed directions wonderfully! My pup can be a little shy/anxious around new people but I know he appreciated the company too! Thanks so much!”
“Abigail was wonderful and Luna was so happy to see her! This was our first time leaving town and having someone other than friends and family. She was professional and kept us informed with lots of pictures. It was comforting to know Luna loved her and she was so reliable.”
About: I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bunch of other animals, and I have always loved taking care of them. My family, neighbors, and friends have all relied on me to take care of their pets over the years, whether it's for walks, check-ins, or overnights, and I would love to do the same for your pet. I'm a college student living back at home for the summer and have plenty of time during the week for quick check-ins and walks, and I will be able to stay overnight most weekdays and over the weekends. I am very comfortable around dogs and would have no problem going on walks, crating your dog, administering most medicine, or doing any other tasks that may be required.
“Per usual Shauni and Connor were amazing. They took very good care of our kitties and I did not have to worry at all about them when we were gone. I always go back to them because they are reliable and so kind.”
“Olive was well taken care of in our absence and it was great to get pics so I could see how well she was doing 😊 We’re new to the area and finding Noreen has given us peace of mind for future trips knowing that we have someone local to rely on!”
About: Been taking care of pets for 18 years from cats to medium size dogs and I love it and make sure you do as well. I can take care of your pets full time or part time I'm really flexible and I'll work around your schedule for best outcome for you. I'll Introduce them to my home and make sure they are comfortable before we play or if they have energy ill take for a walk or use a toy Inside
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I have taken care of my own dogs as well as friends and neighbors. I have experience with labs, golden retrievers, German shepherds, Rottweilers, and pit bulls mostly but love all dogs. I currently work full time Monday-Friday (this is important to note when booking me for house sitting) and would love to help people with walking their pets/letting them out after work or on the weekends. I can’t have pets in my apartment and greatly miss interacting with dogs! I am very respectful of other people’s homes. I am clean and appreciate instructions/rules on where food, collars/leashes, treats, etc are. I will keep your furry companions company, provide long walks, and scratches of course!
About: I've never owned a dog, however I've grown up around them with friends and family members owning multiple dogs at one time. My aunt always had three or more dogs at one time which I helped to care for, ranging from giving medications to feeding to playing in the yard. I worked at a pet store for over 5 years where we were trained in nutrition as well as some behavioral signs. During my time at the pet store, I met someone who was looking for a sitter for their 10 month old alaskan malamute. I was offered the opportunity to watch her multiple times over the course of a year and a half which I took her on many hikes, beach trips, car rides, barn adventures, and spoiled her with toys and love. My boyfriend has a lab/dane/pointer who I take out for "mother-son" dates where we go for an outdoor adventure than reward with a pup cup. I've been working as an Animal Care Technician at a veterinary clinic for almost 2 years now where I care for patients before, during, and after their procedures ensuring they receive the best care and love during their stay at the clinic. I currently work full-time at a veterinary clinic in Dover NH. I have a four day work week consisting of Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at three 11 hour days and one 8 hour usually. I own a horse who I care for everyday after work most of the time or in the mornings on the days I have off (weekends and Wednesday). I always keep an eye on the pet whenever I am present by observing them and learning what is normal and abnormal for them. I watch the pets with no one else present so that I don’t have a human distraction which would hinder my ability to give the pet the best, safe experience. I limit the usage of my phone for social media or other distractions so I am present for the pets in the event of an emergency or any other incidences that may occur.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Barrington is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
Our gratitude to Amy is ongoing for her exceptional care of our kitty cat Sayde. Our previous reviews are only strengthened by Amy’s consistent and caring nature not only with Sayde but also with us! Thank you Amy, very much! We look forward to upcoming opportunities to benefit from Amy’s outstanding care.
Noreen has been a great find! We are going to have her stay with our pup Henry soon and appreciated her coming by for a meet & greet as well as drop-in visit before then to get to know him. Henry is a bit of an anxious guy and he enjoyed meeting Noreen and getting some snuggles today which really helps put us at ease for our upcoming boarding.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Barrington on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,513 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Barrington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Barrington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barrington. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
