“Kelsey and Conor took great care of Rosie! Kelsey was so nice to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. Her dogs were so friendly and greeted Rosie so kindly right away! I would definitely book with Kelsey and Conor again. They made me feel like my dog was one of their own!”
“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.”
“Bri has been wonderful with our pup, both for a daytime stay and a week long stay. She has a great setup and separates small and bigger dogs so everyone gets time outside and gets along. Our dog always comes home happy and tired from her adventures!”
“I loved using Haley as my pet sitter and will continue to do so ! It was my first time using Rover and she made the experience perfect as can be, she sent pictures all throughout the day of my three cats, very communicative, and was absolutely the sweetest. I am very pleased with her pet services !”
“Lottie always loves her time with Hilary and Sam and their pups. She gets lots of play time and is happy and tired when she comes back to us!!! They are also flexible with drop off and pick up, which we appreciate!”
“Bri did such a marvelous job! Our puppy (literally, a 6 month puppy) is a high energy breed and needs a lot of supervision. She provided excellent care, updates (and pictures!) on how he did. Also, Piggy Smalls is awesome! Such a well-trained doggo and patient with my ADHD puppy.”
“Amazing. Warm, loving, seasoned pet owner/carer. She and her family welcomed in our pup, kept us posted with updates and pics, and was more than flexible when pickup needed adjusting due to cancelled flights and weather. 10/10, no notes.”
“We continue to trust her with our dog every time we go on away, and she never disappoint! Our dog is always happy, well cared for, and treated like family. The updates and photos give us great peace of mind while we’re away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter!”
“Bryce was fantastic! Teddy loved being there and will still try to go into the house any time we walk past, which I take as a great sign! Will 100% be booking again when needed.”
“Our Winston was very happy with his stay! Monica sent us pictures throughout the week and he was so happy. He loves being with Monica’s friendly dogs and had a blast playing all week.”
“Nicole and Alexis were great! They were very flexible and kept me updated throughout Apollo’s stay. It seemed like he really enjoyed his time with them. I would definitely book with them again!”
“David was great. Lots of pictures sent everyday. When asked him to change and do something else he was willing to do whatever I asked. I will be using David again on my next trip.”
“Tim was very responsive and took great care of Yuna. He was open to a last minute meet & greet and provided lots of photos of our pup throughout the day. We really appreciate his attention to her and would book with him again!”
“Marissa and Kevin are truly a needle in a haystack here on Rover. They are extremely attentive, caring, and understanding of our pups unique behaviors and needs. They have a wonderful home and outdoor space. They took our pup on many adventures and made sure he was very well loved throughout his stay—the pictures we received were AMAZING. We are so relieved to have found Marissa and Kevin and have already planned many more boarding sessions with them.”
“We appreciate Ginger (and Phil) so much! Our Rico and Margo are characters for sure, each with their own little quirks and needs, but Ginger is so amazing with them! She’s so caring and communicative, always making sure they’re happy and comfortable!”
“We had a great experience with Ritch. Drop off and pickup were seamless, and our 100lb boy was well taken care of for a 10 day trip. We would definitely use Ritch again in the future and would recommend him for sure.”
“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. :)”

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.
Stephen and his lovely family truly treated Zora like she was one of their own! I loved all the photos and was thrilled to see her getting out some zoomies in their backyard. It really was a special little vacation for her. Communication was prompt and clear leading up to and during her stay, and Stephen was very accommodating when I needing to make some changes to the reservation. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again…and I know Zora will be thrilled to come back!
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 💙
2nd time using Rover. 1st time with Nicole and Eric. We have a longer trip coming up and wanted to do a quick overnight before, to make sure everyone jived. Nicole is very responsive and made me feel at ease. Ringos a chihuahua and felt real comfortable since they have chihuahuas. Flexible with pickups and drop offs.
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!
Danielle was amazing! You can tell she absolutely loves animals. We could tell just from meeting her that Cannon and Chup were in good hands when we boarded them. We requested to board last minute and she was great about it. Danielle sent plenty of updates as well.
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!
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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Barrington is $68 per night as of October 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 October 2026, there are 3,147 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 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, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
