About: I'm dedicated to providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. With years of experience, I offer reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits tailored to your furry friend's needs. Whether it's cuddle time, play sessions, or simply ensuring they're fed and watered, your pet's well-being is my priority. Rest assured, I'm committed to maintaining their routine and providing companionship and affection while you're away. My schedule can easily accommodate the needs and preferences of your pup, as I am home full time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and walks for your fur baby, as needed. We have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your dogs to play and run. When walking dogs, I use a standard leash, in addition to a hands-free waist leash, to ensure your pup stays safe.
“Julia has walked our excited beagle Bella for the last week as we’ve adjusted to being new parents and she’s been perfect- shows up on time every day, takes Bella for a 60 minute walk in the freezing cold, and provides thorough reports afterwards! Super professional and prompt, we couldn’t be happier and look forward to continuing to use her services!”
About: My fiancé and I both grew up in homes where caring for multiple dogs was the norm—he had anywhere from two to six at a time, and I was always surrounded by dogs as well. Together, we now have two of our own who are extremely well cared for, happy, and loved. With our lifelong experience and hands-on daily care, we’re very comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and needs. Any dog in our care will be treated like family and receive the same level of attention, structure, and love as our own. We both have flexible schedules, so one of us is always home. We go on daily walks in the morning and evening, and we never leave pets outside unattended. Our routines are adaptable, allowing us to accommodate the needs of any pet. We live right on a park, walks are a must for us and we accompany our pets outside on a long lead for simple day to day potty breaks.
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats over the past 6-8 years. Most have been friend’s and family’s and now I would like to extend my support to others who may need help. I would love walking your dog, letting them out for a quick run around the yard or a potty break. Feeding or checking in on your dogs and cats while you’re away or at work is also something I would love to help with. Let me know how I can help you take care of your fur baby when you can’t. I’m a teacher and have summers off to devote time during the week caring for your furry babies. I can come in the mornings and afternoons to help with walking, feeding, and letting out for exercise and potty breaks. I am a passionate animal lover who enjoys caring for both cats and dogs. I provide reliable and attentive pet care services, including feeding, walking, playtime, and general companionship. I understand that pets are family members, and I am committed to ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, regular feeding, or extra attention and affection, I offer dependable care tailored to their individual needs.
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
About: I have had multiple dogs ever since I was 10 and have never had an issue with any of them. They know they are loved and cared for! Currently I’m between jobs so I have a good and open schedule to care for your animals. I love animals and have a lot of fun playing with them and walking them! We have a fence at my house that allows my dog at home to have a wide open space for playing and exploring. He also receives many bones for good behavior throughout the day.
About: I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15. I’ve dealt with a range of task when it comes to pets, and have cared for animals big to small and young to old. I am extremely comfortable with pets and even have a dog and cat of my own! Since I have pets of my own, I frequently find myself walking my dog or spending one on one time with my cat. Pet care is a natural part of my day to day life! I love to give pets and make a pet feel cared for and safe. A calm environment is sometimes all an animal needs to feel loved!
“Max has been great with our pup! He is a good communicator and takes our pups on long walks! He truly cares and is great to work with. We love the pictures he sends during each walk.”
About: I’ve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so I’m well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life I’ve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzu’s, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion there’s no animal too big or too small that I can’t befriend! I’m a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks I’m completely free and I do own a car so I can travel a good distance to wherever your home resides! I will not be caring for pets in my own home, but when I’m caring in your home I’m more then happy to accommodate for whatever your pet needs, such as using a leash to go potty, or getting them to take pills if need be!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have been caring for them for over 8 years. For the past 2–3 years, I’ve regularly walked dogs at my college animal shelter. My experience ranges from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing a gentler touch. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with every animal I meet. I currently work a few mornings during the week, which leaves my afternoons and evenings free to care for your pets! I’m also available on weekends for dog walking, drop-ins, or boarding. Pet care easily fits into my routine because it’s something I genuinely love and look forward to. I always prioritize comfort and safety, whether that means giving space or providing plenty of play. I’m also happy to crate your dog if that’s part of your home routine or training. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority.
About: I've personally owned and fostered several dogs, cats, and fish throughout my 24 years of life, and am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling all of their unique needs. I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy! I work remotely, so I'm available pretty much anytime! Please check my calendar for availability prior to requesting services, I'll have it updated when I am unavailable. I promise to treat each pet like their own individual, making sure each one gets the proper love and care they deserve through long walks, scheduled food times, and endless pets!
About: I am an active dog caregiver who treats and loves pets like my own family. I have a high energy corgi with herding instincts that need constant release, as well as cuddle bug French bulldog who loves to be a lapdog. I am energetic and dependable, with enthusiasm for long walks, play, and structured routines. I work part time and live with my partner so I have a lot of time in my days to assist your pet care needs! As a person devoted to fitness, daily walks are my best form of movement & I look forward to helping your pets get their energy out too. All pets are cared for in a safe, calm, structured environment following owner instructions closely. As a person who owns dogs that have their specific rigid routines, I understand the pet owner’s concerns and willingness to keep their pets habits intact! I prioritize routine, supervision, and respect for the home as well as every pet’s space.
“Chris was great & attentive. He showed care for my furry friend’s limitations after surgery, and took adorable photos throughout the walk! My dog returned home noticeably happy.”
About: I've taken care of pets of all kinds since I was very young, from birds to cats and lizards to dogs, being tasked to walk, care for, feed, and just generally oversee. I am also a current Pre-veterinarian undergrad, and am confident in my taught abilities to both handle and treat animals. I love working with any and all animals, and am absolutely thrilled to be working with your furry friends! I'm a fresh animal science graduate from the University of Delaware, and have a pretty flexible schedule. Inquire with what you need, and I'll let you know if the times align! I currently have a very eccentric 3 year old, and as such have experimented a lot in the safest possible options for your pets! I am super confident I can provide a safe environment where trust can be built and your pet is safe.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have a crazy little Chihuahua mix of my own, so I’m no stranger to energetic personalities and unique quirks. As a college athlete, I’m dependable, active, and used to sticking to a routine, so you can count on me to show up and give your pet the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. Whether you need weekday visits, weekend care, or last-minute help, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced-in yard and a dog-loving household where pets are treated like family. I’ll always follow your care instructions closely to keep your pet happy, safe, and comfortable. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, you can expect reliable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my availability shifts to evenings and weekends. Over the winter I will have more times open again! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!
“If you are looking for an experienced, considerate, and dedicated dog walker/sitter, then you've found your match! Gregory has provided dog walks and overnight care for our 60lb hound mix multiple times over the last few months and we couldn't be happier with the care he provides. He is incredibly communicative, provides very detailed updates after every walk (with plenty of pictures included), and has shown the utmost dedication to understanding our dog Izzy and her specific behavioral needs. We have worked with many positive reinforcement trainers in the past to address our pups over-excitability and leash reactivity and Gregory using much of the same language as these dog trainers when discussing strategies he used on his walks with Izzy to help redirect and keep her focused and safe. Our pup is very scent driven on walks which can require a lot of patience and steady redirection, and we are so grateful for how kind and gentle Gregory is when handling Izzy. We've only had one overnight experience with Gregory so far and he took great care of our home and left the house spotless! He also ensured us that he only books one overnight stay at a time to avoid any conflicts in schedule and make sure our dog has company throughout the night and to keep her safe in the event of an emergency. All that being said, you will have no regrets choosing with work with Gregory and we feel very fortunate to have found him!”
“Kathy was amazing and helped us tremendously when we were in a jam, and needed our dog walked. Her communication was great every step of the way. We will be using her again and highly recommend her!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Barrington is $20

Lindsey has been amazing with my 2-year-old pup, Max, who just started walking with her. She goes above and beyond—sending about 10 photos and videos each visit that truly show how much time, care, and activity she gives. She even thoughtfully brought her dog, Paco, to help socialize Max, which made such a positive difference. I’ve had other walkers before, but Lindsey stands out for her attention to detail, genuine care, and the way she treats Max like her own. I highly recommend her to any dog parent.
We've used Bri multiple times and couldn’t be happier. Our pup, Nakita, looks forward to her visits. You can instantly tell she has a genuine love for animals; she treats Nakita like her own. She's incredibly reliable, always on time, and sends the best photo updates— Nakita mid-leap with pure joy, which makes my day. She's super flexible with our crazy schedule! Highly recommend her for anyone!
Laura has been a wonderful help walking Auggie at lunch! She’s super communicative and reliable, which has provided peace of mind while we’re at work! Auggie is a rambunctious teenager and Laura makes sure he is taken care of when we’re away!! Highly recommend!
Jenny has been unbelievably kind and patient with my shy rescue Jesse. He is responding quickly to her positive energy, learning to be friends and allow her to walk him. She has brought her husband Anthony and little daschund so they can walk together, a beautiful healing experience for my unsocialized, scared dog. They are gems and we are so lucky to have we found them!!
Sophia was great with my dog. He loves being out and gathering smells (he’s a hound). She took him on a long walk to his favorite smelling spots and wore him out which was great since I had to leave him home alone for an extended period that day. I highly recommend her and will use her again.
Melissa is such a caring and responsible dogwalker! She really takes the time to care for our dog, Kyrie, and you can tell because our dog immediately took to her. Melissa’s also a great communicator and has been proactive about letting me know if there’s any issues or any schedule changes. I highly recommend Melissa :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Barrington on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,112 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Barrington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Barrington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Barrington.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barrington. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
