“She took amazing care of Jack and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was attentive, gentle, and clearly loves animals. Jack felt comfortable and well cared for, and I had total peace of mind while he was with her. Communication was great, with updates and quick responses, which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and professional caregiver for their pet. I will definitely book with her again.”
About: 🐶 NO RESIDENT ANIMALS: Your pup gets to be the dog of the house during their stay. 🐾 ONE FAMILY AT A TIME: No unfamiliar boarding dogs competing for attention. 💻 WORK-FROM-HOME CARE: Your dog has plenty of company and attention throughout the day. 🌳 FULLY FENCED YARD: Easy, frequent outdoor time in addition to walks. 🏡 FREE ROAMING: Your dog lives alongside us, not kenneled or isolated. ❤️ FAMILY ENVIRONMENT: Walks, playtime, couch cuddles, and everyday family life. 🐕 THEIR ROUTINE, OUR PRIORITY: We follow their normal feeding, walking, sleeping, and activity schedule as closely as possible. 📸 PLENTY OF UPDATES: Photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and comfortable. ✨ PERSONALIZED CARE: Their stay is tailored to their personality, energy level, and preferences. We're a dog-loving family of four with years of experience owning and caring for dogs. Both my husband and I grew up with family dogs, and we had our own beloved dog, Buddha, for many years before he passed away in 2021. He is one of the dogs you see pictured in our uploaded photos (the others are rover dogs we’ve hosted). We still miss having a dog around and would love the opportunity to welcome your pup into our home and give them all the love and attention we'd give our own. ❤️🐾 We currently have no pets and only accept one dog at a time, which means your dog gets to be the center of attention while they're here! Our two school-aged kids absolutely love dogs and are excited to be involved with age-appropriate things like supervised play, filling water bowls, and joining us for walks. Mom and Dad are always the primary caregivers and responsible for all aspects of your dog's care and safety. Having been dog owners ourselves, we understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and little quirks. We're happy to follow your dog's normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, favorite toys, sleeping arrangements, and whatever helps them feel comfortable and at home. We also know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care. You can expect plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and getting lots of affection. Because we have children, we only accept dogs who are friendly and comfortable around kids, reliably house-trained, and have no history of aggression. Whenever possible, we'd also love to do a quick meet-and-greet or video intro before your dog's first stay to make sure we're a great fit for one another. We want you to enjoy your time away without worrying, and for your dog to feel like they're part of our family while they're here. ❤️🐶 I work from home every day, so having a pup here fits naturally into our daily routine and means they'll have plenty of company, attention, and love throughout the day. I can easily accommodate potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and walks around my work schedule, and they'll have someone nearby for most of the day. When the kids get home from school/camp, there are two more very enthusiastic dog lovers ready to give them even more attention! We're happy to follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, potty, and sleep schedule as closely as possible so their stay feels comfortable and familiar. We currently have no pets of our own and only accept one dog at a time, so your pup gets lots of individual attention and won't need to adjust to unfamiliar resident animals. We know how reassuring it is to actually see that your dog is happy and doing well while you’re away. During each stay, we’ll send you plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your dog is settling in and enjoying their time with us. We’ll also keep you updated on the important parts of their day, including meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime and medications when applicable. We want you to be able to relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable, and receiving the same loving care you’d want for them at home.
“Kanade and her husband were such amazing sitters for my 2.5 year old Pom mix, Marsha. They treated her like she was one of their own and were so communicative with me. I'll definitely asking Kanade to watch her again soon. Thank you again!”
“Samantha was incredible in every way. From our first conversation it was obvious she was super passionate about dogs and understood dog behavior really well. Our pup thrived at Samantha’s and we will be a forever client. Thanks!!”
“Took great care of Bunker, despite him getting super spooked by some thunderstorms! Kept me updated with pictures throughout the whole stay. Bunker loved playing with the whole family. Thanks again!”
About: A lifetime of dog care from puppies to seniors. Our last pup crossed the rainbow bridge a few months ago at 17, she left behind a fenced in yard, a pet friendly home and 2 loving caretakers. Both my Wife and I are retired. We're home most of the time except for errands or vacations. Plenty of time to give your pup the attention it's deserved. We have a completely fenced in back yard on a quite street in Maple Shade. Dogs are free to roam in and out through the magic mesh. Clean guest dogs are permitted on the furniture and beds. Routine medication can be administered (no needles).
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 we’ve always been a dog family. Even now at the age I am we still have dogs we walk them, take them outside every couple hours and feed them twice a day I have a passion for animals. Pet care is already part of my daily routine. I make time every day to feed pets, provide fresh water, take them on walks, play with them, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. Throughout the week, I keep a consistent schedule and can easily adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s extra walks, medication, or sticking to their normal feeding schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also keeping their environment clean and safe. I provide updates with photos and messages so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for during their time away.
“tamikia was so amazing. this was my first time using rover and i was nervous about leaving my pup for 2 weeks but tamikia’s incredible response time and constant photo updates put me completely at ease. when i picked my dog up, she was so comfortable at tamikia’s house that she wasn’t even that excited to see me lol. i will 1000% be using tamikia for any future care. this is your sign to stop browsing on rover and book tamikia!!!”
“Artesha took excellent care of our two dogs. Provided pictures and updates while we were away. We were perfectly at ease with her watching our dogs. Definitely recommend!”
“Rob was a wonderful choice for my yorkie Frankie! He was very responsive and sent plenty of pictures to update me on how my dog was doing. I can tell Frankie felt comfortable in his care! Thanks for everything Rob :)”
“Marti was so very happy to see Julie and Peter when we brought her to her return visit! She has obviously had another wonderful vacation in Center City. Julie and Peter are amazingly dog savvy and easy to work with. I'm sure we will be back for more!”
“Christopher is the best!! I always feel so comfortable leaving my dog Tofu with him. She gets so excited to see him. I know she loves her time with him!”
“Jasmine was wonderful and Sprinkles was a fantastic playmate for my dog. Jasmine made sure my dog’s water and food intake was good since she can sometimes be shy in a new place. My dog got plenty of exercise and loved playing with Sprinkles. Highly recommend!”
“My Bella a 8 pound Yorkie stayed with Nantikan for a few days, and she sent me text messages and pictures. I would recommend her for your dogs 🐕 stay. She was very nice and very caring. She has a huge fenced in yard, and dogs of her own.”
“Donte is awesome! I've never left Theo with anyone before, this is the first time Theo and I have been separated for more than 24 hrs. This time it was from Saturday to Tuesday. I was supposed to pick up Theo on Monday but I ended up catching tge flue and Donte was more than happy to watch Theo and extra day. On picking Theo up I could tell how happy he was with the care Donte provided. Thanks again Donte, you did an awesome job!”
“Tania has watched our two dogs twice now at her home, and she always does a great job. They’re relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable with her. We feel completely at ease leaving them with her and will definitely be booking again.”
About: Having spent significant time working in animal rescue, I am comfortable handling animals at every life stage. I know how to adapt my approach for energetic puppies needing extra structure and play, as well as senior pets requiring gentle routine, mobility assistance, or specialized attention. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my main focus. I currently work from home and have plenty of time to care for pets. When boarding, if I need to leave it would only be for a couple hours to run errands so your pets won’t be alone. I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs! I also have multiple floors separated by doors and dog gates for pets who prefer more alone time rather than hanging with other dogs. I can make any accommodations needed for your pets specific needs so they enjoy their time here.
“Liliana took great care of our senior beagle! Liliana is responsive, sent photos and took Merlin to play in the park on his vacation. Always appreciate your time and support”
“Markell provided top notch service and care from beginning to end, and I can’t recommend her enough for anyone in need of comprehensive pet care. She was timely, easy to communicate with and passed updates daily via text/pictures. Throughout my pups entire stay, I was at ease knowing that he was receiving the highest quality of care, from a high quality human being. 10/10 would recommend - will be using her services again.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Barrington is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington
Kelsey and Conor were so amazing!!! They are so attentive and responsive and were able to cater to Walter’s dietary and medication needs. Walter seemed like he had a blast playing with their dogs and all their toys, he was so happy and tired when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend them!
I am very happy that my husband and I decided to leave our baby Thor with Danielle. We could tell by the numerous pictures she sent us, that Thor was well taken care of, and Really enjoyed being there. Especially since he found a new best bud in Danielle's dog. I would recommend Danielle to anyone who's looking to board their dog.
I could tell from the photos and when I picked Mara up that she’d had a great time with Erin. Furthermore, Erin and Joe took note of various behavioral questions I had and gave helpful tips and feedback afterwards. I feel like I can rest assured that Mara is in great care when she is there.
I couldn't be happier with the care Yajaira provided for my dog, Baxter. He stayed with her for two weeks while we were away, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Communication was excellent, and she was always responsive and helpful. When we picked Baxter up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. It's such a relief to know you can travel without worrying about your pet. I highly recommend Yajaira and would gladly trust her with Baxter again.
Madi took incredible care of our best girl Lilo while my husband and I were getting married in Mexico!! it was so reassuring that we received pictures everyday of her having a ball with Madi. she has a giant, fully enclosed yard for your pup to run around in which was also a huge plus! we will certainly be booking with Madi again for our next trip!! highly recommend 💙
Ritch watched our boxer mix while we were out of the country for a week. Ritch really knows what he's doing while pet sitting. His professionalism and communication allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our pet. He knew how to make our dog comfortable and safe. We'd definitely bok again!
Very satisfied with Melissa! She was very responsive and patient with my dog. She has a really nice big yard, which I loved! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request and even kept my dog an extra day due to a change in my schedule. I’m very grateful for her flexibility and the care she provided. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her services again!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Barrington is $68 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $59 and $73 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s 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.
There are 3,215 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Barrington. About 90% of Barrington sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
