About: Hello, Nadine here. Looking forward to helping you and your pets needs. I am comfortable with all size dogs and look forward to meeting you soon. I am a dog mom, a full-time banker, and in my free time I enjoy long walks and everything and anything to do in nature. I am a proud owner of a miniature schnauzer, who is 15 years old. I am open to long walks, short walks. I understand work, life balance, and the stress of not getting home to our fur babies.
About: I've been taking care of animals since we got our pups Buffy and Willow when I was 10 years old. They were a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix, so cute! Since then I have owed 3 Guinea pigs (Cairo, Jupiter and Poppy) and a cat (Meshka). I'm thankful that I have a low-maintenance pet like Meshka because I work full time at my 9-5. I do have cameras in my house so I can keep an eye on Meshka thought-out the day. I remember when I got him as a 2 month old I would always go home during my lunch breaks to check up on him for the first 6 months that I had him. When I leave for work I make sure not to leave anything hazardous out. I usually keep the bathroom and kitchen doors closed so Meshka doesn't get into those rooms while I'm away

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have volunteered at shelters since I was young. I regularly foster dogs through Paws New England, so I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and backgrounds, including those adjusting to new environments. I also have hands-on experience with anxiety and fear-based reactivity through my own dog, which has taught me patience, structure, and how to effectively read canine body language. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve spent years learning and applying positive reinforcement training methods and behavior management techniques. I’ve been vegan for decades and protecting animals and ensuring their safety and comfort is something I take seriously in every aspect of my life. I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, compassion, and respect as my own. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I can accommodate different energy levels, whether your pup prefers relaxing and napping much of the day at home or getting out more frequently for exercise or enrichment. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s great for walks, with nearby trails and beach access for enrichment (if appropriate for your dog). I’m very mindful of each dog’s needs and temperament, especially those who may be anxious or adjusting. In my home, dogs are kept separate from my senior dog to ensure a calm, low-stress environment for everyone. I take introductions, boundaries, and routines seriously and always prioritize a safe, structured, and positive experience.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs since I could crawl on all fours! I’ve raised multiple kitty litters. I’m totally comfortable with dogs and cats, large and small, old and young. I let out my personal dogs multiple times a day. I feed them breakfast and dinner. Work on some tricks with a reward! And I’m constantly surrounded and comfortable with my family and friends animals. There’s never been a time where I haven’t had a cat and a dog. Throughout the day I take out my 2 dogs in to my fenced in back yard. I have a senior pup so I’m experienced with giving medications too.
“I was worried about leaving my cat for two weeks, especially because he needs more attention than the average cat. Caroline took such good care of him and spent time with him on each of her visits. I’m sure he appreciated the extra attention. :) It was such a relief to have her looking out for him and the house. I really can’t thank her enough and I plan to hire her for future visits. Highly recommend!”

About: My love for dogs has led me to a rewarding part time career. In addition to boarding dogs occasionally through Rover, I also work for a company dog walking and pet sitting. My whole family loves dogs and are always excited to meet new fur friends! I am a stay at home mom and I homeschool my kids. In my spare time, I have been fostering puppies which has been very rewarding. Any dog in my care becomes part of the family. I have a large fenced in yard and an 11 yr old goldendoodle who loves every person and animal. This is a family home so I can only take in dogs that are friendly to children. We are very close to the dog park and enjoy many walks around the neighborhood.
“Just got back today after Trey was looking after my cat for 3 days. Everything worked out swimmingly! I received daily check-in reports, the kitty seemed to accept him, and the more, ahem, sanitary chores were seen to. No doubt I'll use Trey's services again when I'm out of town.”

“Veru was amazing! She accommodated a last-minute time change for us and made sure the girls got to enjoy the nice weather. We really appreciated the flexibility and care. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have always enjoyed caring for animals. I have had dogs and cats alike since youth. Patience and being aware of their needs are my sting points. I am semi-retired and have a very flexible schedule to help accommodate most. I am flexible for same day bookings and also short notice changes. I help to create a relaxed and peaceful surrounding by allotting plenty of time to spend with your pet. If they feel I’m rushing thru the motions , all sense of trust is gone.
“Alexandria is wonderful. I totally recommend her. She accepted my request last minute and was patient with me as a new user to Rover. Our dog Hattie took to her right away. I immediately felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Our dog can be stubborn and difficult in some situations but Alexandria handled her with confidence and lots of kindness and love!”

About: I have been a loving dog walker and pet sitter for 10+ years. Bathing, feeding, as well as administering medication. I will tend to all breeds! I have full availability to visit with your furbabies. Whether it is a potty break, feeding, a long walk, or a daily/overnight stay, I will fit you into my schedule and happily be there! I have a strong passion for animals. I am extremely dedicated to making sure your pet is well cared for. When I visit with your pup they will get plenty of exercise or whichever service my client is looking for. A daily/overnight stay, feeding, bathing, oral medication administration, long walk, or a potty break. I will always have your pets best interest in mind.
“Lindsey was amazing with my senior dog. She did two drop-ins in one day and was always on time and communicated before arriving and after she left. She sent pictures of my dog and did a great job! Would definitely hire her again!!”

About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and extensive experience in pet care, I am confident that I can provide exceptional services to you and your furry companions. Since I was 10 years old, I have been entrusted by neighbors, friends, and family to care for their beloved pets. Whether it's walking, feeding, or bathing, I have always been dedicated to ensuring the well-being and happiness of the dogs under my care. What sets me apart as a sitter is my genuine love for animals and my ability to form strong connections with them. Dogs have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I believe this love and passion translate into a positive and enjoyable experience for the dogs I care for. In addition to my pet care services, I have extensive experience providing overnight care for dogs while their families or friends are on vacation. I understand the importance of maintaining a sense of routine and comfort for the dogs during their owner's absence. Whether it's spending the night at their house or having them stay at my place, I ensure that they receive the same level of care, attention, and love they would normally receive from their owners. I strive to create a nurturing and safe environment where they can feel at ease, reducing any potential anxiety or stress. What I truly value in my role as a pet sitter is the opportunity to build a strong bond with both the pets and their owners. Clear and open communication is a top priority for me, as I believe it is crucial to understand your expectations and any specific instructions for your dog's care. By maintaining this level of communication, I aim to provide the best possible care and give you peace of mind while you're away. I pride myself on being trustworthy, reliable, and responsible. You can count on me to be punctual and professional in every aspect of my service. I understand the importance of your dog's safety and will always prioritize their well-being. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I am excited about the opportunity to meet you and your furry friend and provide them with the utmost care, love, and attention they deserve. I am currently on summer vacation from URI, and right now I have plenty of free time to give your pet the time it deserves. I am available any time during this summer for boarding, walking, or any dog-care service needed. I have a fenced yards, one dog, and two cats at my house. My dog is a black lab, Astro, who is in his elder years but still active and always friendly. My cats normally stay in the basement, and if your dog doesn’t get along with cats I can keep them apart. When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where they feel comfortable and loved. I ensure that my home is pet-friendly, with a designated space for them to relax, play, and sleep. I provide a consistent routine, maintaining their feeding schedule, exercise regimen, and any specific instructions or preferences shared by their owners. Regular exercise and playtime are incorporated into their daily routine to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. I also make sure to provide plenty of affection, cuddles, and attention, as I understand the importance of emotional well-being for pets in a new environment. Safety is paramount, and I take precautions to secure any potential hazards and create a secure space where they can thrive. When caring for pets in their own homes, my goal is to maintain a sense of familiarity and routine. I follow their established schedule as closely as possible, providing consistent mealtimes, walks, and play sessions. I ensure their environment is clean, comfortable, and secure. I am attentive to their needs, whether it's administering medications, adhering to dietary restrictions, or providing extra care for senior pets. Regular communication with the owners is maintained, providing updates on their pets' well-being, pictures, and any notable observations. By caring for pets in their own familiar surroundings, I aim to minimize stress and create a sense of ease and comfort for both the pets and their owners. Whether in my home or the client's home, my approach to pet care is centered around providing a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable experience for the pets. I am committed to going above and beyond to ensure their happiness, health, and overall well-being.

Barrington dog parents share their Rover experiences
Audrey was wonderful with our dog! She helped us with drop-in visits and an overnight stay. Audrey was communicative, flexible, and our dog clearly felt very comfortable with her based on the meet and greet and photos we received while away. We will definitely reach out to Audrey again in the future!

Haley was absolutely incredible. I’ve used Rover many times, and this was by far the best experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we connected, she was professional, kind, and attentive. She asked thoughtful questions about my dog’s routines and quirks, and it was clear she genuinely cared about getting everything right. Throughout the stay, she sent consistent updates with pictures and little notes that showed she was paying real attention. My dog looked happy, relaxed, and totally at ease with her, which says everything. When I got home, my place was spotless, my dog was calm and content, and it was like I’d never left. Haley went above and beyond in every way. she treated my dog like her own, kept everything perfectly organized, and made the whole process effortless. If you’re lucky enough to get her as your sitter, don’t think twice. She’s exceptional.

Amber was great! She suggested a meet n’ greet (why isn’t there a Rover term like Fur-st Impression or Wag n’ Sniff?!) right off the bat, which showed me that she is a professional. She was well organized and right on time for all drop ins. I loved the updates, so much so that I was disappointed when a family friend took over her care and the updates stopped! Amber is definitely a professional. She clarified a question she had about feedings and was a very positive person in general. Would definitely rebook.
