“I had a wonderful experience with my dog sitter and would highly recommend them. They took excellent care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made sure all of my pet’s needs were met. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and responsible hands. My dog came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love animals and treat them like their own. I will definitely be using their services again in the future!”
“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!”
“Jenny and her family were fantastic with our dog, giving periodic updates and sending pictures and video. Allowing us to be at ease while on vacation. This is a very loving home. Her and her husband (and others) took great care of our dog, giving him plenty of walks and attention and love. Big thanks to entire family. I recommend others to take her services.”
“Phyllis was fantastic!!! She kept in touch with us frequently for an update on how Domino was doing, which put our minds at ease. We really appreciated the report card when we returned. It was very obvious that Domino enjoyed her! We will definitely request her again."”
“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.”
“Christine and her husband are wonderful people. I had no doubt my dog was in good hands when I dropped her off. She communicated with me throughout my dog’s stay and responded quickly. She also sent me pictures and videos daily. Her husband even helped me bring the crate and bag to my car when I picked my dog up seeing that I was by myself and would have a hard time carrying it all. Very nice people :)”
“Our dog Lucy had a great stay with Sarah and her husband. They were attentive to her needs and sent many updates and pictures during Lucy's stay. They are courteous and totally reliable. We will definitely be using them again. Highly recommended!”
“My lil’ fur babies love spending their time away with Brineydi & we love knowing they’re comfortable, safe, & having a blast while being cared for. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Stephanie was great - we did a meet and greet and then had our kiddos with her for the weekend. They came back happy and tired from all the fun. She was communicative and super friendly. Will absolutely book her again. Thanks Stephanie!”
“Aubrey took such good care of our dog. It was the first time we left her since adopting her and she seemed to be very happy at Aubrey’s place. I felt 100% comfortable leaving her there and will definitely book with Aubrey again when we need a place for our dog to stay.”
“I highly recommend Yajaira!! She was warm and welcoming and treated my dog like he was part of her family! She communicated with me often and sent pictures!! I will definitely be using her 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.”
“Renee was exceptional! She took great care of my dog Kalo. She was very communicative and provided many updates. She did a great job managing all the medications my senior dog takes. Would definitely book 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!”
“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!”
“Alison was wonderful! I feel confident that my pup was treated like family and was comfortable and loved the entire time we were away. I will absolutely be using her again.”
“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 ❤️”
“Martin and Annette are great with Layla Nicole! She fully enjoyed her stay with them. When we went to the Meet & Greet; Layla was immediately comfortable in their company and home. She went to both of them for love when we got inside; her tail a wagging! We were pleased with her response. After spending time with Martin and Annette, we felt confident that this was a good match for our family. They work well as a team and spoiled Layla as much as we do. We r sharing our experience with everyone we know who has dogs. WE WILL DEFINITELY USE MARTIN AND ANNETTE IN THE FUTURE!! They r a blessing to have in our circle of friends. Ty again Martin and Annette and may God continue to bless u.”
“I had to leave my pup for an extended stay with Hali and her family. I cannot say enough positives about the stay. Josie was in love with the kids and was pampered her entire stay. Hali handled an ER like Josie was her own pup. It means so much to know you have someone you can rely on when you have to go out of town. Highly recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
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!

If I could give Madi 100 stars, I absolutely would! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars honestly doesn’t feel like enough. Finding someone I truly trust to care for Bruno has always been extremely difficult. Bruno is not an easy dog to watch, and to put it nicely, he definitely does NOT like most people! 😂 He has his own personality, his own quirks, and he takes his time deciding who he is going to trust. Because of that, leaving him with someone for five days was a really big deal for me. Then we found Madi, and I honestly could not have asked for a better person to care for him. Madi is one of the sweetest, kindest, most patient and loving people. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand Bruno instead of expecting Bruno to adjust to her. She respected his personality, gave him the space and patience he needed, and treated him like he was her own dog. That meant more to me than I can possibly explain. She kept me updated, made me feel completely comfortable while I was away, and most importantly, I could tell that Bruno was safe, happy and genuinely cared for. As someone who worries about leaving him because I know he can be challenging, having that peace of mind was priceless. What really says everything is that Bruno liked her! If you know Bruno, you know that is probably the biggest compliment anyone could receive. 😂 He doesn't hand out his approval easily! You can tell Madi genuinely loves animals and isn't just "watching a dog." She puts her heart into caring for them. She was patient with Bruno's quirks, loving toward him, and never made me feel like he was difficult or a burden. She accepted him exactly as he is, and that is something I will always appreciate. I came home feeling like I had finally found someone I can trust with my boy, and that is such a huge relief. I would recommend Madi a million times over to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with kindness, patience, love and compassion. Madi, thank you for taking such amazing care of Bruno and for loving my grumpy, misunderstood boy just the way he is. ❤️ You have no idea how much it means to me to finally have someone I feel completely comfortable leaving him with. If Rover ever adds a 100-star option, I'm coming back to update this review
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!
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!
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!
Stephen and his family took wonderful care of our two pups while we were away on a two week vacation. I really appreciated the frequent photos and updates, which made it clear that our dogs were having a great time and felt at home. They returned from their stay happy and tired from all the time they spent playing in Stephen’s backyard. I know they will be excited to stay with Stephen and his family the next time we go away. 😊

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.
