“Kelsey and Conor cared for our 10 yo lab and could not have been more kind & loving in their care. They provide a clean environment with their own friendly dogs with a perfect outdoor space for a dog. They provided daily updates in which our dog looked so happy & well cared for. Highly recommend and will use Kelsey & Conor again!”
“John and Michelle did a great job watching our little pups. They were responsive and friendly, and they walked our dogs frequently. Would definitely use again!”
“I can’t stress enough how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your fur baby with someone when you’re on vacation. That being said Jenny and her family took such good care of my puppy Teddy. When I saw the pics each day I could see the love she gives to her fur clients. I had a nice vacation knowing he was living his best life with Jenny. I highly recommend if you need a like home environment Jenny will not let you down. I definitely will only use Jenny in the future. Thanks Jenny Teddy will miss you💙”
“Zoey had another great vacation with David and Phyllis! We are very grateful for the love and great care they gave her, and they will be our first choice for the future. To be honest, I think Zoey is a little sad to be home and misses them!!”
“Aivy was amazing! I can’t say enough positive things. She took the best care of Herbie to the point I didn’t think he was going to want to come home. She sent tons of pictures and loved on him like he was her own.”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with our lab, Daisy. She updated us daily with pictures and kept us in the loop every day. It’s so great knowing your pup is being taken care of in such a loving home!”
“Yajaira and her family was so good to my fur baby! She kept me updated with text, pictures, and accommodated my fur baby in every way to make him feel at home. Thank you for giving M’baku a home away from home during the holidays.”
“Brineydi took perfect care of our dog! She was very thorough in our initial meet and greet to make sure she knew everything needed to take care of him over the extended weekend. She was very responsive through the stay and sent us tons of pictures and updates. Our dog was very happy to stay with her. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be asking her to take care of our dog again in the future!”
“Aubrey did another amazing job with my baby Rylee. I went on a trip to Europe and knew that my Rylee would be in safe loving hands with Aubrey. She sent me daily updates of how my girl was doing which made me feel good hearing about her day while I was away. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Stephanie took great care of our senior dog for 3 days and 2 nights while we were away. In addition to feeding and walking her, Stephanie also gave her medication and wiped her skin per our vets orders. Our girl was very comfortable for her stay! Thank you, Stephanie!”
“Hilary and her family were so great! They were easy going, communicative, and very nice. I really appreciated all of the photos. I hope to have our dog stay with them again. She seems tired and happy after her overnight stay.”
“Melissa is amazing!! She was able to fit us in on short notice, and right from the meet and greet, Rusty was immediately comfortable with her. She has such a nice yard for dogs to play and relax too! Rusty also seemed really happy and well cared for at pickup. I would definitely book with her again!!”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”
“Took great care of our dog. Was available on last minute notice and was very quick to respond. Communication was easy and often. She even sent a photo and an update during Molly’s stay. Pick up and drop off were seamless. Will 100% be using again.”
“Christina and her family are the best. The communication throughout the whole weekend that they watched our Auggie Was great He had so much fun that when we went to pick him up he didn't want to come home he wanted to stay and keep playing. I would recommend Christina to anyone that wants the best care for their pups.”
“If I could give her 10 stars I would. I am very hesitant of who I leave my dog with. Roxann made me feel comfortable and eased my anxiety. My dog is on antibiotics and she had so problem at all giving her her meds and making sure she was happy. She would update me multiple times a day and send pictures. My dog is house broken but idk why she had an accident in the house and I as an owner was so embarrassed but Roxann did not make me feel bad about it at all. I would recommend her to anyone. I have used this app twice before and never left a review and never felt like my dog was being treated just the way I treat her, but she was! I am definitely going to use her again! Thanks Roxann!”
“Excellent communication from start to finish! I had the best experience from the initial meet and greet through the entire stay. Luna was in the best hands, and I loved receiving regular updates and pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was so well cared for. I highly recommend Cindy ❤️”
“Kristina was incredible! It was my first time booking a boarding session with Rover and she was so easy to work with sent me plenty of detailed updates about her fun weekend with Watson. She helped to make everything go smoothly! Thank you!!”
“Holy cow, Annette and Martin, I never came back to the site to review Ozzie's stay last month! It was great!! He was so very happy and we are so grateful for the care and love you showed him. I never worried about him for a minute of our very long vacation, and appreciated every photo and video you shared with us. Again, so sorry for this delay. Please know that we so value your wonderful treatment of our little guy.”

Megan and David and the whole gang really took such good care of Tunes today! All of my interactions with Megan and family have been extremely positive - I really appreciate the responsiveness and the offer for a meet and greet last week! Thank you guys so much for hosting her and special shout out to Bonnie for being such a calm and kind big golden retriever sis :)
I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Alfie, with Jami & Brian this summer! Alfie has some separation anxiety and behavioral quirks, so finding the right sitter can sometimes be challenging, but Jami & Brian were incredibly understanding, accommodating, and welcoming. They provided excellent communication throughout the entire process. It’s clear that they’re experienced, attentive to specific needs, and genuinely care about the dogs they look after. They provided Alfie with a safe and comfortable environment and kept me updated with photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, Alfie was clearly well cared for, felt safe and relaxed, and had a great time! I would absolutely recommend Jami & Brian to other pet owners and hope to book with them again in the future. Thank you both for taking such great care of Alfie!

We booked boarding with Melissa last minute, and She was able to accommodate us. Boarded our corgi for 2 nights and Melissa was very patient with our anxious pup, She sent us updates and photos which makes us comfortable. Thank you so much Melissa! Very recommended if you want to have a reliable sitter for your pups! :)
Kevin is wonderful caretaker for our beloved two pups. We knew from our meet and greet that he is a great fit for our dogs. He understands dogs well and hence, being dubbed as the "dogfather" is well-put! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the pictures of our dogs and has remained in contact for updates with us. We would love to have him puppy sit our furry babies!
Our dogs had an amazing time at Danielle’s place! She sent frequent updates so I felt totally confident they were in great hands. Both pups felt so comfortable with her — a testament to her patience and kindness as a home away from home!!! I would absolutely LOVE to book with her again!!
Aivy was absolutely wonderful. We were so grateful to have found her when we needed care on short notice, and she graciously allowed us to extend a day when we needed it. She was kind, attentive, communicated well, and sent great pictures. Ollie came home happy and healthy. We would love to have Ollie stay with her again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Barrington on Rover is $68.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,113 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barrington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Barrington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Barrington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 NJ 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.
