“Kona had her second stay with Wendy and Bill last week. I feel comfortable having her stay with them. I enjoy the updates and pictures they send. Wendy is great about responding to any questions via the Rover messaging app. It is great to have found someone we feel comfortable leaving Kona with.”
“Absolutely amazing, my dog has stayed with and friends anx family before and usually for at least a few days she wont eat, she wont come out from under a bed, she was out and eating before the first day was up. I was absolutely stunned and so was my family. Will 100% use again for my next trip!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”
“Carla is the best!! She watched our Bichon over a long weekend and gave him great care. He’s a VERY picky eater and being a Senior pooch, can be a little difficult at times. Carla sent us videos and pictures all weekend and it was relief to see him enjoying himself.”
“Jessica was very responsive and took care of my dog well. My dog was happy and played a lot when he was boarded at Jessica’s. Thank you Jessica for accommodating our last minute request.”
“Definitely coming back if I ever need a sitter again! There were so great with our furbaby and communicating and sending pictures, she had so much fun I think she was a little sad to leave. 10/10”
“Jean is caring and very attentive to my dog. She gave multiple updates throughout his time there and paid attention to his behavior and asked questions. Very highly recommended”
“Vicki was amazing! Marty went to her house for the day while we had my son’s first birthday party. She updated us with pictures throughout the day and fed him his dinner. Marty had a blast there and was able to play safely with other dogs. When it was time for pick up, she had everything packed up ready to go for us. She was extremely flexible and had great communication! The best rover experience we have had, will definitely be returning!”
“Treated the dig like gild Sent lots of pics and videos. The dog had so much fun i didnt think he would want to come home. They truly love the dogs they carr for.”
“She was very inviting and spoiled the girls accordingly. The girls were nice and tired after a full day of play. Absolutely wonderful to work with. We were a little late getting there from when we promised; but she was understanding. I would highly recommend this sitter & if we were ever in the neighborhood again, we would definitely use her!”
“Always the pleasure to have my sweet pup. Watched by Ewa i and her husband John. They do an amazing job and truly seem to love the animals in their care. She always sends me lots of photos too”
“Dave and Mary were amazing to our pups. They were very flexible when our flight was delayed and one of the pups needed extra medicine during our absence. Their communication and pics were very reassuring and almost daily. Couldn't have left my dogs with anyone better. Awesome experience. Will use again for sure!”

“My two dogs are “at home” when they’re at Dickson’s. He’s got a great setup in his house and yard making the dogs feel comfy and allowing them to have a great time. The care and love he shows to them gives us peace of mind. They’re never stressed out when we pick them up. Thanks for everything Dickson!”
“Stephanie was great! Very easy to communicate with (and flexible with our flight schedules for Drop off and pick up times) and we felt like Leo was being taken care of so well. Definitely eased our minds having Leo stay with her while we were gone. We also got so many cute pictures of him during his stay! We would definitely have her watch Leo again!”
“Allis made my outdoor-loving Beagle feel right at home! Every video and picture she sent showed my little girl having the time of her life. She is definitely my go-to sitter forALL of my work trips!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Barrington Hills
Maya was a great sitter for our corgi while we went out of town! She provided daily updates, let us know any changes or silly behavior, and was very patient with our pup. She was even able to apply some medicinal spray to his paws daily for his allergies which isn’t easy to do because he doesn’t always cooperate. When we picked him up after his stay, he ran back to say goodbye to her before leaving to go home! We would definitely leave him with her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,938 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Barrington Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Barrington Hills can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Barrington Hills home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Barrington Hills.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Barrington Hills sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 IL 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
