About: I’ve loved animals from a very young age and have experience with all kinds of pets. I have about 15 years experience working in a very busy specialty veterinary hospital as a vet nurse for their emergency service. So you can trust your pets are getting the best care and I can spot a potential health issue/emergency if something were to arise. Along with my medical background I have a great deal of experience and interest in animal behavior and training. Having worked with my own dogs and worked directly with trainers for my own knowledge. The hospital I worked for was fear certified, I absolutely carry those gentle and patient techniques over when working with your pets. Taking the time to gain trust is super important! I recently moved back to this area, I went to school in haddon heights. Since moving back my schedule is pretty open so I can focus on taking care of your pets! I have my own car and can come to your house so your pet(s) don’t have to stress in an unfamiliar environment. Alternatively I do offer day boarding in my home which has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space to run. Whatever the circumstances, I am available by phone/text always and will happily send updates and pics as often as you’d like so you can enjoy your time away from your pets.
“Alexis was an excellent sitter for drop-in visits for my two dogs. I was scrambling to find someone last minute and Alexis was so responsive and helped immensely when I had to leave out of town. She gave us thorough updates with pictures. If I ever need to rebook, I will definitely go to her first. I would highly recommend booking with her if you're searching for someone reliable, personable, and trustworthy.”
“Greg did a great job with Jack! He stopped by before his bookings for 2 meet and greets to make sure Jack was comfortable. He went above and beyond with the walks, hangouts and training. We’re excited to book Greg again and we know Jack is too.”
“Megan did an amazing job with our cats. She came by the day before to ensure she knew how to properly care for the cats. No issues during the stay and would highly recommend!”
“Jacqueline was so great with my two dogs! I have a younger dog and an older one, and she was so great at managing the different energy levels of both! She gave frequent updates and photos, and left everything as it was before. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“It was a pleasure having Christina watch our Yorkie Evie. We appreciated her thorough communication and professionalism. We felt very comfortable having her dog-sit Evie while she is having a leg issue and required extra care. Evie looks forward to hanging with Christina again soon”

“We had a great experience with our dog sitter while we were away. He took excellent care of Julie and Romeo, made sure they were fed, let outside regularly, and kept us updated throughout the stay with pictures and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear both dogs were comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated the communication, reliability, and attention he gave them. I would definitely trust him to watch Julie and Romeo again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable pet care.”
About: I have had all kinds of pets my whole life, and began pet sitting at just 7 years old. I have many years of experience with puppies, seniors, and exotics. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and energy levels. I am also experienced in administering medication. I am a huge animal lover, and I look forward to meeting and caring for your pet! I work with children, typically during the afternoons and evenings, so I am available in the morning and early afternoon to provide pet care to your furry family member :) I have pets of my own, so I am very aware of the individual health and safety needs of each pet, whether that is “puppy proofing” the environment, providing necessary enrichment, dosing/administering medication, or maintaining a strict schedule. Keeping doors and gates secured at all times and securing collars, leashes, and harnesses correctly are my top safety priorities.
About: Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’m a pet sitter/dog walker in the Haddonfield/Barrington area. I have eight years in pet sitting for cats and dogs, as well as having my own animals. I have raised dogs as young as six months and cats as young as two months and trained my own dog, Honey. I also have experience with senior dogs, including helping them up and down stairs and administering medications. Additionally, before working at my current job, I worked as a tech at a nature center, where I cared for various fish, amphibians and reptiles. Excited to meet you and your fur baby! I currently work full-time during the week but have plenty of time at nights and on the weekends for walking, playing and caring for your dogs! I always make sure that spaces are pet-friendly and follow any and all instructions given. I think it’s very important to make sure that dogs get enough physical activity, so long walks and play time are key!

I generally feed my own cat twice a day and play with her whenever I have time.

About: I've had 3 dogs in my life and when I was old enough I trained 2 of them with basic commands. I usually help my aunt with watching her dog which includes bathroom breaks, staying over night, and hanging out with him during the day. I've also watched him after he had surgery to make sure he didn't mess with the wound. I'm a part time college student and I work during the weekend. I'm mostly free during the week after 11 on Mondays and Wednesdays and 1 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some Fridays I'm free before 1. I have a fenced yard and a pool with a small dog who loves running around and swimming(our big one passed recently), I give my dog baths, I take her for walks, play with her, feed her, clean her space. When I watch others pets I make sure to clean up if they make a mess, that they go potty before I leave and have a full bowl of food and water depending on how long they will be alone for.
“Jennifer was exceptional, providing attentive care and creating a comfortable environment for my furry friends. I highly recommend her services for anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

Brie did a terrific job taking care of our GSD over the course of a few days! Right from the meet and greet I could tell she was very comfortable with a large, playful dog. Brie was timely and clear in her communication. She was punctual for each drop-in session. Highly recommend!
Where to start? She was amazing. Went above and beyond. Even walked my baby in the rain. We appreciate everything you did and all the love you have to our Sadie and cats. You're the best. Thanks again for everything. Truly made us feel that our pets were in great hands
Jaqueline was awesome ! At short notice she was able to schedule a meet and greet the day before she came to check on our dog while we travelled she played with him took him out back to pee and poop fed him filled his water bowl and sent us a photo that showed him happy with his new friend enjoying a treat ! 😂 she was great and we will definitely be in touch with her in the future and we highly recommend her!
We hired Brynn to come into our home to feed and walk our older dog when we went away overnight. She did an excellent job and sent us texts and photos each time. Our pup was in good spirits when we returned. I would definitely have her come again and recommend her highly.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Barrington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Barrington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
