âMary has been amazing walking my dog everyday while I'm at work. Unfortunately I was laid off so I won't need a dog walker, but if you can get Mary to be yours she will be amazing!â

About: Iâve pet sat for a couple years now, my most regular customer has multiple dogs, one cat, four birds, and a ton of snakes, so Iâm well equipped to watch a variety of animals! Throughout my life Iâve had multiple dogs, all different breeds, German shepherds, shih tzuâs, Boston terriers, and more, so in my opinion thereâs no animal too big or too small that I canât befriend! Iâm a college student but my schedule is pretty flexible outside of classes, though during school breaks Iâm 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 Iâm caring in your home Iâm 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 have taken care of many dogs and cats over the past 6-8 years. Most have been friendâs and familyâs 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 youâre 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 canât. Iâm 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.
âIf 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!â


âErin did an incredible job looking after our old man dog! Giving pills, taking walks, communicating, etc⌠weâre all done with care and attentiveness. Will absolute book with Erin again!â

âBrielle did a wonderful job walking Mac when we were away. I highly recommend her. She is always punctual and very professional. She sends updates and pictures about the walk. We were lucky to get her since we needed her at the last minute during the holidays.â

âMax 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.â

About: I think that animals make the world a better place. Iâm committed to giving them wonderful care and and a friendly, warm embrace every time! I am currently retired and enjoy spending my free time spoiling my animals and others. Animals are better than humans. I take my dog for multiple walks a day. I go out of my way to ensure that the pets feel safe and comfortable in my presence. Thatâs what means the most to me.

About: Iâve take care of animals since I adopted my cat in 2006. Since then, I adopted my first dog (Maltipoo) in 2008, a rabbit in 2014, a second dog (Belgian Malinois) in 2018, and a third dog (Golden Retriever Mix) in 2023. I am looking to make a little pocket money during medical school. My availability is entirely subjective to my schoolâs schedule so Iâm often only available weekends. My dogs are crate trained and leash trained so I have the most experience with that. I am more than willing to be flexible and learn your petâs routine.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs of all sizes and my ability to tailor care to each dogâs needs. Iâm patient with puppies, helping reinforce routines like potty training and leash skills, and attentive with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, medication reminders, or extra comfort. I keep dogs on their usual schedule, prioritize safety, and make sure they feel calm, secure, and loved while in my care. As a college student with a part-time job, I have a flexible schedule with days off dedicated to pet care, along with daily experience caring for my own dogs. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dogâs pace and energy level, ensuring exercise, bathroom breaks, and comfort during every visit.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
Julia has been great with our dog Bumi. We were a little nervous because he hasn't walked with anyone outside the family in a couple of years (he refused to leave the house), but he has been going out with her. And she helps him get going if he's a little hesitant in the beginning. We get pictures and an update on how we did after every walk. We highly recommend Julia!

Abby is absolutely wonderful! My large energetic dog is blind and doesnt have the best manners! My dog pulls on leash and is a wild child! Abby is so kind, has the patience of a saint, and is dependable! If your on the fence, dont be, your pets will be in great hands!

Greg was awesome with the dogs\! He was very flexible with our schedule, and the dogs absolutely loved himâespecially Zion, who usually doesnât like anyone\! đ That says a lot. Thank you, Greg, for being so patient, kind, and great with them. We really appreciate you

Matthew has been awesome with my pups! He walks them every weekday like clockwork, and I never have to worry because heâs DEPENDABLE. The highlight of my workday is getting THE BEST PICS he sendsâthey always brighten my day. Thank you for taking such great care of my babies, Matthew. We really appreciate everything you do!
Brijana was an absolute rock star with our pets. With twice-a-day visits, Brijana walked, fed, played with, and â most importantly â cared for our girls. She was attentive to their needs and keep us updated all throughout. We are so happy to have trusted both our pup and cat with Brijana. We will absolutely call on her services again - and you should too!

Lindsey has been amazing with my 2-year-old pup, Max, who just started walking with her. She goes above and beyondâsending 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. Iâve 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Barrington is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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 November 2026, there are 8,686 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 Barrington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dogâs walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Barrington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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:
- 87% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitterâs cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, youâll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
