“Paige and her children were absolutely lovely and took terrific care of my timid little rescue dog Maisie. They have a great big fenced-in back yard and three friendly, adorable smallish dogs so Maisie was happy and entertained. Paige's young children are sensitive and kind, and Maisie--who is generally afraid of children--really took to them because they were patient and caring. Paige is a wonderful dog sitter--responsive, flexible and communicative. We were in town for sailboat racing and our hours changed several times and Paige was always flexible and understanding about our needs. She sent photos and sweet, reassuring updates as well which meant a lot to me. I would use Paige and her family again for Maisie in a heartbeat!”
“Anely was responsive, communicative and just really great! Anely was able to meet all our needs (we weren't sure how Charlie would do with other dogs), and Charlie had a great time.”
“I’m very grateful to Hanna & Roy.✨ Besides being such lovely people, I truly appreciate them for taking care of my puppy🐶 From the very first moment, they showed so much love and dedication. It was clear that they genuinely cared about Haru’s well-being: they gave him affection, were attentive to him at all times, and played with him a lot. It was such a relief knowing he was in such good.”
“Tara was great with my boys regarding my situation of needing last minute support. She made an accommodation to take my golden even though he is on the bigger side and he came home happy. I would trust her to take care of my boys anytime!”
“Isabel took wonderful care of Dexter this week! We so enjoyed her thoughtful and informative daily updates. She made sure he was comfortable, following his usual daily schedule and fostering positive and playful interactions with her dog Griggs. We are grateful for her proactive and in-depth communication and her timely pickups and dropoffs. She is a dog sitting gem!”
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 am a dog lover through and through. I started volunteering at shelters at age 8, and today, I regularly foster dogs through Paws New England. 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 body language. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve spent years learning and applying positive reinforcement training methods and behavior management techniques. Protecting animals and ensuring their safety and comfort is something I take seriously. 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: As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your furry friend in someone else’s care, and I treat every pet like family with patience, love, and attention tailored to their unique needs. As a Shiba Inu owner, I know that every dog (and cat!) has their own personality, quirks, and comfort level. I have experience caring for energetic puppies, independent adult dogs, and gentle senior pets who may need a little extra time and care. Koda, our dog, is the sweetest, friendliest and most calm dog I know. He would welcome any visitor with open paws and play with them during the stay. I work from home, so pets get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule makes it easy to adjust to their routine, whether that’s feeding, exercise, or just keeping them company. At my home, pets enjoy a fenced yard, plenty of playtime, and the company of my friendly dog, Koda. In our home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and comfortable.
“Veru is an excellent sitter , she is accommodating to any needs for your pet . She took good care of my boy. She follows instructions and really cares like her own. She would post pictures that were very nice and sweet. She took my boy for walks , which he enjoyed. I had my boy for two days of day care , he was excited to go over the second day. He had developed a bond , that I could see that he missed her when we said our byes for the stay. You will feel the same with your pet if you use her service that I highly recommend. Thank you Veru, you were wonderful sitter .”
“This was my first time using Rover or someone other than family to watch my dog (past or present). We started with a short daycare visit for our current rescue, Gracie. Leanne provided multiple updates, pictures and I ended the visit knowing my dog was in good hands with proper care. Leanne and her family are warm and welcoming and made Gracie part of their family during the visit. I will definately be back for future daycare or boarding needs. Thank you”
“Nicole & Ryan are absolutely amazing!! They are responsive, kind, and accommodating. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in their care and cannot recommend them enough. Will definitely be reaching out again and we know our dog is just as excited as we are to have found a good match!”
“Ashley did a fantastic job of entertaining my pup for the day while we couldn’t! She made sure he got fed properly, had plenty of time to play outside/walk with her dogs, and gave all the affection he needed. She even taught him how to do paw! We will definitely be reaching out again if we need help. Highly recommend!”

Please note bookings m-f between 11am-2pm are the most popular time slots and often secured in advance by weekly reoccurring.

“Gilbert is the best Rover host I’ve had the pleasure of using to watch Leo. I was provided videos throughout the day and Leo played hard with Gilbert’s dog Moon all day. I couldn’t be happier and I’m going back tomorrow for one more day. Gilbert was also very flexible with my schedule as I hit a snag during my business in Providence.”
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
About: I have the luxury of working from home full time! Which means i am home to tend to your fur babies needs while they are staying at our house! We do daily walks, playtime, supervision all day long! We have dogs of our own as well! If you feel more comfortable having your dogs separate from ours, we have the ability to do so! i am able to administer medications, I have experience of all breeds from puppy-senior. I have a lot of experience with reactive dogs! I understand dog body language as I’ve been going to our trainer with our dogs for quite some time! As I work from home, I have 100% access/supervision to your pets while they are staying in their home away from home with me and my family! i care for your dogs like they’re my own! I always always always put my dogs needs before myself. I would treat yours the same way! I know how difficult it can be to find someone to give you peace of mind to watch your prized possession! I am extremely cautious when it comes to our dogs, so yours would be treated no different!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 8, varying from puppies to senior dogs. I’m known to be very loving and patient with animals and having great connections with pets! I’ve worked with animals of all shapes and sizes and love them all! I have a pretty free schedule for the summer so there is plenty of time for me to spend with your pup! I babysit my 2 year old brother some days and work nights in a pizza shop over the weekend. When first meeting the dog/ animal I make sure to dedicate time to allow them to get comfortable with me and the fact that i’m in their home. I like ensuring a mutual feeling of safety and trust between the dog and I so we can have a fun and stress free time together!

Amanda was absolutely wonderful with my little guy. She cared for him from early in the morning and was so kind and flexible with my early evening pickup, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, she showed him genuine warmth, patience, and care—the kind that gives you real peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found Amanda and feel very lucky to have her as part of my support system. She’s exactly the kind of caring, trustworthy person you hope to find in your community. Highly recommend!
Paige is friendly and professional. Both times she cared for my dog she shared updates including pictures of her kids playing withs pup. She has an adequate fenced in yard incase weather gets in the way of walks. I felt completely at ease both times Paige took care of my guy. Would highly recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Barrington on Rover is $48.15 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Barrington commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 RI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 709 sitters in Barrington, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
