“Margo was great with Ava. I got home last night, and Ava seemed happy. She wasn’t mad at me 😁. I should have have thought of Rover a long time ago. I would like to meet up with Margo so I can retrieve my key and thank her in person. I may have to have her again, according to my future plan. If Margo could get in touch with me, for a meetup, that would be great! Thank you! Diane Clancy”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I am available for all your walking and dog-sitting needs. Whether it’s house sitting, walking/feeding the dog, letting him/her out to play, I look forward to caring for your pup! I’m a 3rd grade teacher with availability after school hours as well as weekends and holiday breaks! I am free to drop by on the weekdays or provide more in depth help on weekends and other days off. Trust is huge when it comes to your pet and I am flexible to support all needs with your dog while you are away/busy. You can trust that your dog is in good hands with me! I am good at following directions and will be able to keep up with normal routines and procedures that your dog is used to so that you are comfortable as well as them.
“Megan (and her assistant/son, Noah) were just awesome! With a cat who is diabetic and requires twice-daily insulin shots at fairly evenly spaced intervals, I have found it extremely difficult to find someone local who is both willing and able to take on the job. Throw in a couple other indoor cats AND a couple semi-feral community cats in the backyard, and it becomes even harder to find a responsible person willing to take the assignment. Even though she doesn't exactly live next door (more like 25 minutes away), Megan adjusted her schedule to accommodate our family through the fourth of July and even tended to our garden during a ridiculous heatwave. I was thrilled to find Megan on relatively short notice and am crossing my fingers that she will once again be available to care for our brood the next time we're out of town!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Brielle was wonderful with our pup Hudson! She was friendly, reliable and made sure Hudson was well cared for with daily drop in service three times per day for a long weekend. Brielle arrived on time for the drop in times shared and left great feedback / notes so we knew he was in good hands. Brielle even watered my porch plants and they looked better than before I left. Thank you!”

About: I have spent all of my life around animals, and have absolutely loved spending time with them since I was young. As a kid I volunteered at my local shelter, playing with the residents and doing what I could to help take care of them and keep them happy. I personally grew up with both cats and dogs. I was the family member responsible for training and teaching our dogs new commands. I would be more than happy to go on long walks or spend time playing with and keeping your pets company. I am currently a school teacher on break, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur baby! I am currently openly available, until the school year begins in September. Until then, I am generally available during the week from 8 am to 10 pm. I am more than happy to feed, walk, play with, and love your animals in your home. I have experience with administering insulin to cats as well.
“Kathy is amazing! My husband and I work nightshift and she came to walk and play with him while we were at work and made us feel at ease 😊 she sent me cute pics and kept me updated during the visit which was awesome. We will definitely ask for her help in the future! :)”

About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs for 5+ years. I also have a small dog myself who is thirteen. I have worked with many sizes and breeds of dogs over time and am excited to help! I am currently working part time and taking some college courses. I have a lot of free time to hang out with your little dogs! I have a small dog myself and I know how important safety and care. I will treat your dogs as if they were my own!
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!
About: Hey there! I’m Dana, I’m a night owl, film and reality tv lover, I enjoy hiking, going to the beach, listening to music, cooking & spending time with friends and family. I’m a lifelong animal lover (of all animals, even the tiniest bug!) and have been professionally pet sitting for over 10 years. I have experience with all kinds of animals, but am a big softie for large breed dogs. I have two German shepherds and a beagle, but don’t worry- I live with family, so they will be cared for while I’m with your pet! I strongly believe in leaving things better than you found them, which means that your home and pets will receive lots of TLC while I’m with them. I provide around the clock care to keep your pet company throughout the day. Whether you just need a quick drop in and walk or an extended stay, I will be there to give your pet all of the potty breaks, attention, playtime and companionship they need. In your home I will follow your regular rules and routines you have in place for your pets. I find that sticking to your pet’s normal routine keeps them calm and happy when their family members are away.
“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”

About: I’ve had dogs of all sizes throughout my life, and pet sat for many friends! Friends know I am reliable, and will always prioritize your animals I’m currently working full time, and looking to make some money on the side doing what I love! My schedule is flexible, meaning I can work around you and your pets needs to make sure they are getting the best care. I have 3 dogs of my own, and have plenty of experience with feeding, playing, and crating dogs. Because all our dogs have been rescues, I also have experience with puppies, untrained dogs, and dogs who aren't perfect on leash.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and compassion, and caring for animals has always been something I enjoy. I have also cared for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family, making sure they were safe, happy, and well cared for. These experiences have strengthened my dependability and reinforced my passion for providing compassionate, reliable care. I work part-time during the day, and my schedule varies from week to week. I have open availability on Fridays and weekends and can often accommodate pet care requests during the week. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure every pet receives attentive, reliable, and loving care. I know pets are happiest when they can stay in their own home, so I do my best to keep their routine consistent. I'll follow your care instructions carefully, including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I'll also make sure your home stays clean, secure, and just as you left it. You'll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
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
I have never had a stranger take care of my dogs, so I was apprehensive about how my dogs would be with Julia. Well, I can honestly say that Julia was wonderful!! My dogs love her! She was very communicative, and sent me multiple pictures daily. I will definitely use Julia in the future.
Our first time with a pet sitter was amazing. Brijana was patient with our two Shih Tzus. She sent the time getting to know them, making them feel comfortable and observing them. We walked together and they warmed up so easily. The peace of mind was priceless. Thank you Brijana, we look forward to our next visits.

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.
I can’t recommend Lindsey highly enough! She is reliable, incredibly kind, and truly goes above and beyond for my Ruby girl. Every walk is handled with care, and it shows—our dog is happier, calmer, and absolutely adores her and her sidekick Paco!! Communication is always clear and prompt, and the photos and updates after each walk give me total peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like family, this is the person to call!

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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
