“Kelsey and Conor were so amazing!!! They are so attentive and responsive and were able to cater to Walter’s dietary and medication needs. Walter seemed like he had a blast playing with their dogs and all their toys, he was so happy and tired when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend them!”
“5 stars all the way. This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and we couldn’t not be happier with the service and care we received. Our little Gunner has terrible anxiety and does not like to be alone ever since his sister passed away last year. Aivy took such good care of our Gunner. She was patient and kind and made sure she communicated with us on how Gunner was doing. We can’t thank her enough and look forward to using her again. Thank you for your patience with our old man.”
“Roxann and her family were so kind and loving to our dogs. They had a blast at their house! We were updated with lots of photos and videos daily. They played with lots of toys, went for walks, and had snuggle time. It was a huge relief to not have to worry about our fur babies while we were away. Thank you so much!!”
“Did a great job to make my dogs feel comfortable and at home. One is kinda skiddish but he warmed up immediately. Would recommend to others and book again for sure.”
“Megan was extraordinary! She took care of my labradoodle while I was in New Jersey visiting my daughter. We had difficulty with the timing of our visit, but Megan was very accommodating and flexible. She was very welcoming and loving toward Loki, and we so appreciated the homey atmosphere that she and her whole family provided. She's such an ideal boarder that I only wish she lived in NC where we live!”
“Sol comes highly recommended by us! This was our first time using a sitter and Sol made us feel so at ease leaving our fur baby. She stayed in touch throughout the day, made sure she was comfortable with a set up ready for our arrival - food, litter, treats, etc. Sol was very flexible and understanding as we were moving and had to adjust our schedule some.”
“Chazz is amazing! My 2 dogs are not the easiest to deal but he was able to calm them down 5 mins after meeting them. I appreciate him sending me updates without us asking for it. Shoyu and Maki just got back from their vacation with him and seemed to have the best time. They are now having the best nap too lol This was our first time using this platform and I also based my booking from the previous reviews about him. You can tell that he is in the industry for a while now and is very experienced with different kinds/breeds of dogs. We will be asking him to take care of our babies when we go for future trips. Thanks again, Chazz!”
“Stephanie was absolutely amazing with Brody! We had a trip planned to Florida and ended up having to extend due to a snow, and she was so accommodating and flexible with the extra time we needed. It gave us such peace of mind during a stressful change of plans. She consistently provided updates and the sweetest photos and videos, which meant so much to us. Being able to see how happy and comfortable Brody was made it so much easier to be away. When we picked him up, he was as happy as if he had just spent the day at the dog park with all his friends, smiling, tail wagging, and clearly so well cared for. That says everything. 🐶 We’re so grateful for how attentive and loving she was with him. I would absolutely trust Stephanie with Brody again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“I have no complaints. I needed someone last minute and Zyiana and her fiancée came through. They were responsive, updated me with pictures and made sure Paris was comfortable in their home. This was her first time away so thank you for making her experience special.”
“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.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Hali as a dog sitter. The communication was great from the beginning and was easy and reassuring. She took great care of Ruby and even watched her as a 5 month old puppy. She sent pictures and videos of Ruby enjoying her time outside in her fenced in yard. She responded quickly to my check ins and made me feel comfortable leaving her. Ruby was happy and calm when we picked her up and I would highly recommend Hali as your dog sitter. I will be using her again when I need a dog sitter.”
“Eric was the BEST! I went international for 10 days and never had to worry. Joey came back happy and I knew he was loved. Thank you, Eric! Consider yourself added to my Rover rolodex. :)”
“Tim was great! Friendly demeanor and lives in a wonderful location with quick access to the SRT; our pup was very happy. He came home clean, loved, and well taken care of. We will absolutely reach out to Tim in the future!”
“Madeline did a great job of taking care of my baby. She greeted him warmly in a spotless house. Madeline kept me up to date with pictures and when I picked him up, he was happy and clearly well taken care of. In addition she was flexible on timing. I recommend Madeline to anyone who is looking for good quality care.”
“Hendry was a terrific host for my two girls. I’ve had my girls for 10 years and this is the first time I left them with someone other than immediate family. Hendry sent me photos and updates, plus he did not mind my nervous texts checking up on them. My girls looked like they were happy in the photos and when I picked them up they were calm and not stressed out. I would highly recommend Hendry and I’m taking my own advice and have booked him already for another weekend trip.”
“Since this was a new location and person for Louie, I was a little apprehensive. After meeting Adrienne and her daughter, I knew he would be fine. They loved him and he even played with one of their dogs. I won't hesitate to use her again!”
“Lincy was a great Rover! Cannoli has a lot of energy and she got lots of exercise and playtime with long walks and trips to the dog parks! Got plenty of updates too. 10/10!”
“Virginia was an amazing Rover for our 2 dogs, Cleo and Louis! They seemed incredibly comfortable and loved in their few days with her. Virginia sent us photos and made sure to keep us updated on how they were doing.”
“Felix was great with my dog nova. They made sure she was comfortable with the other animals in the house and stayed in communication throughout my trip. I have so many great photos from their walks and hanging out in the house. Felix is my first choice when I comes to Philly rovers”

Kelsey and Conor were so amazing!!! They are so attentive and responsive and were able to cater to Walter’s dietary and medication needs. Walter seemed like he had a blast playing with their dogs and all their toys, he was so happy and tired when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend them!
I am very happy that my husband and I decided to leave our baby Thor with Danielle. We could tell by the numerous pictures she sent us, that Thor was well taken care of, and Really enjoyed being there. Especially since he found a new best bud in Danielle's dog. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who's looking to board their dog.
I could tell from the photos and when I picked Mara up that she’d had a great time with Erin. Furthermore, Erin and Joe took note of various behavioral questions I had and gave helpful tips and feedback afterwards. I feel like I can rest assured that Mara is in great care when she is there.
I couldn't be happier with the care Yajaira provided for my dog, Baxter. He stayed with her for two weeks while we were away, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Communication was excellent, and she was always responsive and helpful. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It's such a relief to know you can travel without worrying about your pet. I highly recommend Yajaira and would gladly trust her with Baxter again.
Madi took incredible care of our best girl Lilo while my husband and I were getting married in Mexico!! it was so reassuring that we received pictures everyday of her having a ball with Madi. she has a giant, fully enclosed yard for your pup to run around in which was also a huge plus! we will certainly be booking with Madi again for our next trip!! highly recommend 💙
Ritch watched our boxer mix while we were out of the country for a week. Ritch really knows what he's doing while pet sitting. His professionalism and communication allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet. He knew how to make our dog comfortable and safe. We'd definitely bok again!
Very satisfied with Melissa! She was very responsive and patient with my dog. She has a really nice big yard, which I loved! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request and even kept my dog an extra day due to a change in my schedule. I’m very grateful for her flexibility and the care she provided. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Barrington is $68 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $59 and $73 per night. 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. 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 3,155 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barrington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
94% 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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
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.
