Dog Sitting Barrington

About: I've always enjoyed being around animals. Our pets make up a large part of our lives, and I'm happy to care for your loved ones while you are unable to. I have a flexible schedule and I’m able to support with last-minute requests at all hours of the day. With my flexibility, I can ensure that your pet receives the best care. I keep several things in mind including the owner’s requests/preferences, the temperament of the dog, as well as ensuring that the dog remains comfortable at all times.

About: What sets me apart is that I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with a family dog, which gave me years of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and providing lots of love and attention. In addition to caring for my family dog, I have experience pet sitting for both dogs and cats. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine, respecting their unique personality, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. While I’m not a professional trainer, I’m patient, dependable, and committed to providing attentive care, regular updates, and plenty of affection so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. During the school year, I’m a teacher, so I’m available on weekdays after 5:00 p.m. and throughout the weekends. During the summer, I have significantly more flexibility and availability, allowing me to dedicate even more time to pet care. No matter the season, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and making sure every pet receives the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. I always communicate with owners and follow each pet’s routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if applicable), and any other special care their pet may need. In my home, pets have a comfortable environment with a spacious living room for playtime and a separate room where they can relax or have quiet time if needed. My apartment also has convenient dog relief areas, and there are several nearby parks where dogs can enjoy safe walks, exercise, and fresh air. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and every owner feel at ease.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, & have experienced tons of different personalities. I try to get to know a dog to help them in a positive way with the separation anxiety that comes with being apart from their family. I currently do ceramic art so I spend my free time at the studio. I usually make things at home so it’s easy to care for a pup while i get some work done! I also love having dogs around, and meeting new pups is always fun :) I have a fenced in yard, & a park nearby for easy walking without crossing traffic. My pup Moon loves other dogs, he’s 2, & acclimates well to other dogs once getting over the initial excitement. He’s easy to separate as well if needed! We go to Slater park or Lincoln Woods for a good outdoor walkie if we need an activity. I also make him bones stuffed with frozen pumpkin & peanut butter to keep him occupied when we’re not playing. He’s fully vaccinated as well~

“Ashley has been so great to our cats and we will continue to book with her as long as we are in this area. There is no reason to book anyone else!”

“It was the first time we called on Stuart to walk Clare, not just once, but twice in a day, and we’re glad we did. Stuart was conscientious from the start, offering to stop by the day before we needed him to meet us and Clare. We highly recommend him!”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs since I was a kid. Mainly molosser breeds. I’m a very active person so high energy dogs are more than welcome. I can assist with teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, lay, leave it, and recall commands. Things you can expect under my care: walks, runs, and training if needed and requested. If given permission, dog parks and occasional trips to the beach depending on the weather and time under my care. I work full time Monday through Friday 5am-3:30pm so I recommend booking for the weekend for long stays. Shorter stays can be made during weekends between 3:30pm-6:30pm (length of care Monday-Friday may be negotiated) Care will be primarily conducted out in town as I do not have a yard. If home pets will be crated with scheduled potty times.

About: I've had several pets since I was young, but many of which I had to let go due to frequent moving and lack of accommodation. My forever friend however was a chihuahua belonging to my aunt/uncle that I loved dearly but unfortunately passed from old age. I have experience in basic command and obedience training. My main skillset is my patience, I believe that's a key trait for anyone looking to care for pets as they do require a lot of supervision and mistakes are inevitable until they can fully develop self-control and obedience through careful and loving training and attention. Currently, studying to obtain a skillset in programing, I have additional time on hand when outside of studies which I can use for additional income. Studies are at my pace, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care and still fulfill my obligations. I'll ask some intake questions about any special care or concerns owners might have and follow up with additional questions about the pets regular habits. I can provide most forms of care, like a safe environment, regular feedings, medicine administration, basic training, bathroom breaks, and just general company. I have a yard, though it is partially open, but nearby is a fenced park that I can visit for those comfortable with their dog socializing with other canines.

About: I live in a comfortable and engaging home, where I have been caring for my little balls of energy for more than 10 years and counting. I know how important it is to be able to take care of your loved ones, especially when you may be physically unable to. I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for most dogs to spend some outdoor time in and I also live near park areas if they need a little extra room. I have a growing assortment of toys to also help fulfill any entertainment needs your pet may desire beyond personal attention. I am extremely attentive and observant, so it is very important to me that pets are always comfortable and that they are maintaining healthy behaviors when they are within my care. I understand how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your pets with someone other than yourself, so I want to assure you - I absolutely adore animals, and would love the opportunity to not only take care of yours one day, but to also build a relationship that is dependable and trustworthy. I recently made the decision to return to school closer to home, so I'll have plenty of time to look after your pets while working/studying from home. I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs that are small and extremely friendly. I make sure they get exercise everyday and maintain a stable diet. I try to inspire good behavior by rewarding it and also try to fulfill their attentiveness needs (such as playing with them occasionally or ensuring they are clean by performing fur checks)

“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”

About: What sets me apart from other dog and cat sitters is my personalized approach and deep love for animals. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and safe. With a strong background in pet care and a genuine passion for animals, I provide reliable, attentive service that keeps both pets and owners at ease. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in expert hands while you’re away. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine. I prioritize offering flexible care, especially on weekends and holidays when many other sitters are unavailable. I understand that pets need attention and consistency, even during off hours. By providing services during these times, I ensure your pet receives reliable care when you need it most. Whether it’s a holiday getaway or a weekend trip, you can trust that your pet will be in safe, loving hands without interruption. In my home, I provide a safe, spacious environment with a fenced yard where pets can run, play, and explore freely. Your pet will enjoy plenty of exercise, fun, and one on one attention in a secure setting. Whether it's playtime outdoors or cozy relaxation indoors, I ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.

“Isabel is so sweet! She helped me last minute and also accommodated a virtual meet and greet for me. I had a repair man in my apartment while I was away and she voluntarily stayed to keep an eye on things and give my cat more loving. Thank you Isabel!!”

About: Since I was young, I’ve had a passion for taking care of pets and animals. In my own home, we had 3 cats and 2 dogs, including a Black Labrador and a French Bulldog/Pitbull mix. I’ve also looked after my friends’ and neighbors’ pets, including a senior dog who needed medicine administered and special care. This also includes cats, dogs, birds, and bearded dragons. I truly adore all animals (except mosquitos! lol) and consider it a privilege to care for them. I value honesty, reliability, and quality treatment for both people and animals alike. This is why five star service is guaranteed when you book with me 😊 I currently work in an office Monday through Friday 8 am to 5 pm. I usually keep my nights and weekends free for any bookings. I will care for your pet inside your home by of course being respectful of your space, making sure any unsafe foods or items are out of reach, all gates or fences are closed to ensure they don’t escape, their food/medicine is on time and prepared *EXACTLY* as instructed. I can also promise snuggles, play time, and plenty of attention!

“Hannah was easy to work with and took good care of our 2 cats.”

About: My name is Breanne! I own a hound/ GSD, two cats, and I am fostering a lab! I used Rover in a pinch one day so I know how important this job is and how much of a lifesaver it can be! I would love the opportunity to help someone else in a pinch and make a dog happy at the same time. I am very active, I run trails, walk, hike, I can take your dog to the park, hiking, whatever you need. I have experience with various harness tools, etc.. as my dog is a working dog and we are constantly training. I love spending time with pets in all settings and I’m happy to help in any way I can! I also volunteer at a rescue in my spare time and coordinate spay and neuter services. I currently telework three days a week and have the flexibility to increase this when necessary. I work Monday - Friday 8-3:30pm and can work from anywhere. I believe in maintaining a pets routine to the best of my ability. Having your best friend away can be stressful enough, I do my best to ease your pet’s discomfort as much as possible.

About: I go by Leo!I have had huskies my whole life. I got my first one when I was three and took care of her until she passed at about 17 years old. When she was 10 we trew a second husky puppy in the mix. I did a lot of training work with the Puppy and a lot of senior care for my old girl all at the same time. I ended up training the younger girl to be a working girl and regularly train with her. Im currently working part time and looking to get into veterinary medicine so I will have lots of time to stop in and hang out with your pet. I can travel to your home to let you pet out for a batroom break or give them a snack. I am able to take larger dogs on long walks as I ave always had larger dogs and am very comfortable with them. I also would have no problem taking your high energy friend on a nice long bike ride, something i've always done with my girls. last but certainly not least I would love to take your furry friend no matter how big or small on some fun adventures!🐾

“Sophie was fantastic! We were in a bind and she was so wonderful helping us out for the weekend. My pups loved her and were so content when we got home. Thank you so much!”

About: My name is Sarah and I'm 33 years old. I took a little stint from Rover to focus on my professional career but I'm back and so excited to start petsitting again! Animals have been a huge part of my life ever since I was young. I worked at a vet throughout high school and even started my own dog sitting company in Charleston, SC upon graduation from Virginia Tech - safe to say, I've always been obsessed with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds and ages, including puppies, kittens, elderly dogs and cats, dogs those with disabilities, cats that require medication, etc. You name it, I've probably had to handle it in all my years of pet care. I love taking dogs on adventures - the beach, hiking trails, etc. I will treat your fur babies like my own and give them the exercise and TLC they deserve while you are away! I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is pretty open (including weekends). I'm available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and doggy day care (this includes walks, feeding, TLC, medication administration, etc.). I also offer overnight care, whether that be in your home or mine (whatever you and your pet prefer). This is a service I'm currently offering to private clients but am starting to extend to Rover. In my client's homes, I always let them take the lead with their comfortability and with their pet's normal routine. I want to make sure your pet hardly notices you are gone and that they are 100% comfortable and happy with someone in their environment. Whether that means crating them, walking them at specific times, having designated playtime. Again, I let the client take the lead on instructing me in those cases. When I bring a pet into my home, it's important that they get along with cats, as I have two who are very friendly and don't interact too much with my/client's dogs. Currently my Husky is staying with my mom in Virginia, so he will not be in the apartment. I want my space to feel as "homey" to them as possible, so whatever is needed to make that happen, I accommodate.

About: Since childhood, I’ve had a deep love for animals and have always treated every pet as if they were my own. I believe all pets deserve the same love and care they so generously give to us. However, I am very understanding that each pet is unique in their own personality. As a proud dog mom to two very special but different pups—one being a rescue from the meat trade in South Korea—I’ve gained valuable experience in recognizing stressors and triggers in dogs that may be more reactive. I approach each pet with patience, understanding, and proactive care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and at peace. Just because an animal has had a difficult past doesn’t mean that sets the trajectory of their future. I am a small business owner which means I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they ultimately deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I can adjust to your needs to ensure your furry friends are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I prioritize consistency and routine so pets feel comfortable and cared for in every visit! Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust. I create a warm, stress-free environment where pets feel secure, loved, and at ease. I follow each pet’s routine, respect their space, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles to keep them happy and safe. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who can provide companionship and extra playtime for pets in my home. For pets who prefer to be alone, I have plenty of space to ensure their comfort and relaxation.

About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Grew up taking care of dogs and cats. Currently, I am the proud mom of 2 cats - they are angels on earth! I live in Pawtucket and work in Providence so can easily travel. Willing to go on long walks or stay in and relax. I also have a car and willing to take your pet to their favorite spots. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I work 9-5 so can check in on your pets in the morning or after work! Can’t wait to meet your pet! I currently work 9-5 Monday thru Friday. I am happy to check in on your cats early mornings or evenings. I am also available most Saturdays and Sundays. I make sure to respect your time, space and most importantly your pets. I follow routines and structures put in place. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important our pets (children) are and you need someone trustworthy to look after them!

“Megan is patient and was understanding of Gidget’s needs directly. I am very thankful! She is also prompt and professional, which I appreciate very much. I would recommend her without reservation.”
