Highly-rated overnight sitters - Barling
“Bear was so happy to stay with Courtney and Colton, and spend time with their animals! Courtney and Colton were amazing. They with definitely be who we choose to watch our animals!!!”
“Sarah was incredible. She kept me up to date with my kitty and was so responsive and helpful at every moment. I never do reviews like this but Sarah absolutely wow’d me with how excellent and involved she was. I implore anyone with an animal to give her some business!”
“Brandy did an amazing job with our 7 month cavapoo! During the 3 night stay, Brandy send updates, photos and videos of Nala! And as a bonus, Nala made a new friend, her dog Aqua! We will be boarding with Brandy on future travels!”
“Michell was super accommodating and very nice. She gave us plenty of updates and pictures. She was very professional and treated our little boy Benny with great loving care. She was always quick to respond to our questions. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs. We have already booked her again.”
“Hannah was great, super helpful, patient, friendly and easy to work with! She kept us updated and our pup was very happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely use her services again. I highly recommend her!”
“Not sure where to start. I’ve been very nervous about leaving my 8 month old boxer with anyone. She’s a rescue, she’s skiddish at times, we aren’t sure of her history, whether she’s been hit, yelled at, punished, or abused in any way. We wanted her treated like we treat her; she’s one of our babies. I immediately felt at easy when we met Ally, Chole was at ease, it was so easy for us to leave her with Ally. We knew getting a puppy was going to keep us from our travel plans unless we took her with us because Chole freaks out in her crate if left alone. We now feel that if we want to travel we have found our person. Chole was entertained and got the attention she demands from you. Easy drop off and easy pickup. I’ll definitely recommend and use Ally again!”
“Arden had such a great time with Ashley and her active family. She kept me updated regularly, helped reinforce some of the things we are working on at home (he’s a 5-month-old puppy), and made sure he got plenty of exercise and time to just be a puppy. She also exposed him to new experiences, which I really appreciated at this stage. I’m definitely a protective dog mom, and I felt completely comfortable having her care for him. I will absolutely be using Ashley again in the future.”
“Sherry was wonderful with Coba! My dog has seasonal allergies, and Sherry was so attentive and caring with her. She kept me updated the whole time and I felt really comfortable knowing Coba was in great hands. Thank you so much, Sherry!”

I have outdoor cameras as well as in door to keep close eye on them.
“Very professional. Monique cared for our pup as if it were hers, cuddles, walks, play time, she did it all. Monique kept up updated often with pictures and texts that reassured Sirius was in good hands.”

I am available anytime time of day and any day of the week since I just moved down here, so I will be there for all your pets needs!

Managed care of newborn puppies as well as sick, special needs dogs. Took care feeding and administering medicine as well as caring for older dogs.

About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for all of my friends & family since I was a kid! I love dogs & cats and have 2 fur babies of my own. I am excited to provide cuddles and care for your fur babies! I work part time from home so I have plenty of availability during the week Monday through Friday & can happily provide care or walks on weekends.

Not to mention dogs warm my heart. I offer drop in visits which usually includes 2 potty breaks, food, a short walk and play time. Dog walking is another service that I provide (pretty self explanatory) I’ll swing by and give your dog the love and attention (and potty break) that you would if you were there along with the exercise they need to burn off that energy. I also offer house sitting- where I can stay with your dog the entire time frame (day/night) to give them quality care and attention. I offer boarding to smaller dogs only as my cats are sensitive to large dogs.

Cat caregivers near you - Barling
“Emily was an absolute star! She took excellent care of our cat, Simon, while we were away — feeding him, refreshing his water, playing with him, and most impressively, expertly giving him his oral medication! She also left our home so clean and well-kept! We recommend Emily to anyone and everyone!”
“Mandy went above and beyond to make sure my babies were well taken care of while I was gone for 3 weeks. I truly cannot thank her enough for all the times she stopped by when I was worried. She made me feel at peace and let me enjoy my vacation knowing my furbabies were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again and recommend her to everyone!!💕”
“Haylee was absolutely wonderful with Chestnut! She was great to work with, communicated very well, and took excellent care of him while we were away. Chestnut is a senior dog and can be a little more high maintenance, but she took his care very seriously and followed all of the instructions we left perfectly. We could tell he was very comfortable with her and well cared for. We are so happy with our experience and will definitely be using Haley again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Emily is such a great cat sitter! She not only took great care of our cat, but went above and beyond by helpings us with an impromptu visit to make sure our cat would be okay when our flight was delayed. She stands out from previous sitters, as it’s clear that she genuinely likes cats, is responsible, and detail oriented. Emily will be my go-to the next time our cat needs care!”
“Jurnee was very reliable and did an excellent job of taking care of our kitty. We really appreciated the daily updates, and pet photos that we received. We will contact Jurnee the next time we need a dependable pet sitter. Thank you so much, Jurnee!”
“Bonnie is the best cat sitter I’ve had. She genuinely cares for your pets as if they are her own and goes above and beyond for them. I cannot thank her enough for making me feel less anxious when I have to leave my fur babies behind. Do not hesitate to book her, she’s the best!”
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly can’t imagine a life without them. I currently have 5 cats of my own, and I grew up in a cat-filled household where my parents and I cared for 6, so I’m very comfortable with multi-cat environments and all the little personality quirks that come with them. I hold a special place in my heart for cats with extra needs and have experience fostering cats recovering from amputations, helping them adjust, heal, and feel safe and loved during their recovery. I’m very hands-on with care and confident in administering medications, trimming nails, grooming, and making sure every cat is happily fed and entertained. My goal is always to make cats feel the love they deserve.
“Bre made an awesome effort to come visit me and Moses the Sphynx before her first sitting dates to get acquainted with him and the house. She was on time, friendly, asked great questions, and was communicative during her check ins. I recommend her wholeheartedly and look forward to working with her again!”
“Sarah has been great! She took care of a total of four cats which belonged to me and my friend. She is very friendly with the cats, sent timely photos and videos (which was a relief), understood the needs of our pets and understands the traditional as well as modern cat appliances which was a plus. Had a truly amazing experience.”
“Hatch and I love Anna! She is responsive, responsible and flexible. She goes above and beyond to love on my boy and give him the attention he needs while I’m at work. He always has a smile on his face in the pics she sends from her visits and that’s the best I can ask for. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was young, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with basic training, giving medications, and tailoring care to each dog’s needs, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-loved. I work from home, so your dog will never be left unattended. I’m flexible with walks and play and can easily adjust to your pup’s routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, an afternoon stroll at the park, or extra playtime. I’ll make sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I have a fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime, plus two friendly dogs to provide company if your pup enjoys socializing. I’m experienced with crating if that’s what your dog prefers, and I’ll always follow your instructions to maintain consistency and peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they’re part of my family, making sure they feel loved and secure.
“Hannah was absolutely wonderful with drop in visits for my cat Jody. I came home after a weeks vacation out-of-state to a happy and healthy cat :) I moved to this town 7 months ago and left a long time pet sitter that I trusted very much. Hannah is my new cat sitter here when I go out of town. She also sent daily pic's of my Jody. Thank you again Hannah!!!!”

“Look no further, these are your people! No, seriously. Ann is great with animals and Im so thankful to have found them for my boy. I have been recovering from 19 surgeries within the past 2 and half months so I have not been very active and can't really take my pup on walks atm. My poor dog who's a GSD and full of energy was beginning to go stir crazy and desperately needed a good walk. Im in a leg cast and don't have a lot of help so I turned to ROVER for the first time. I was incredibly nervous about having a stranger walk my dog. I read through profiles and reviews and decided to reach out to Ann. They have experience with big strong dogs and My dog is a leash puller. Ann and her family responded quickly and she came over soon after to take my boy on his first ROVER walk and first walk by a stranger. She reassured me they'd be alright and really put my mind at ease. They both did great. I was so nervous she wouldnt want to walk him because of his bad habit but thankfully she took him for a nice, long, much needed walk. My pup came back tired out and much happier. I instantly knew I made a great choice with Ann. She is very understanding, kind and great with animals. Highly recommend them and will continue to book her whenever Koa boy needs a good walk.”

“Bear was so happy to stay with Courtney and Colton, and spend time with their animals! Courtney and Colton were amazing. They with definitely be who we choose to watch our animals!!!”
“Sarah was incredible. She kept me up to date with my kitty and was so responsive and helpful at every moment. I never do reviews like this but Sarah absolutely wow’d me with how excellent and involved she was. I implore anyone with an animal to give her some business!”
“Brandy did an amazing job with our 7 month cavapoo! During the 3 night stay, Brandy send updates, photos and videos of Nala! And as a bonus, Nala made a new friend, her dog Aqua! We will be boarding with Brandy on future travels!”
“Hannah was great, super helpful, patient, friendly and easy to work with! She kept us updated and our pup was very happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely use her services again. I highly recommend her!”
“Not sure where to start. I’ve been very nervous about leaving my 8 month old boxer with anyone. She’s a rescue, she’s skiddish at times, we aren’t sure of her history, whether she’s been hit, yelled at, punished, or abused in any way. We wanted her treated like we treat her; she’s one of our babies. I immediately felt at easy when we met Ally, Chole was at ease, it was so easy for us to leave her with Ally. We knew getting a puppy was going to keep us from our travel plans unless we took her with us because Chole freaks out in her crate if left alone. We now feel that if we want to travel we have found our person. Chole was entertained and got the attention she demands from you. Easy drop off and easy pickup. I’ll definitely recommend and use Ally again!”
“Arden had such a great time with Ashley and her active family. She kept me updated regularly, helped reinforce some of the things we are working on at home (he’s a 5-month-old puppy), and made sure he got plenty of exercise and time to just be a puppy. She also exposed him to new experiences, which I really appreciated at this stage. I’m definitely a protective dog mom, and I felt completely comfortable having her care for him. I will absolutely be using Ashley again in the future.”
“Sherry was wonderful with Coba! My dog has seasonal allergies, and Sherry was so attentive and caring with her. She kept me updated the whole time and I felt really comfortable knowing Coba was in great hands. Thank you so much, Sherry!”

About: I have 5 years of dog handling experience, it’s not about just walking a dog or playing with a dog it’s knowing how to go about and do it properly. My life for the last 3 years has been this. I love it, I also understand that no 2 dogs are the same and every dog needs something different, I’m equipped to offer any care your fur baby may need. I also have tons of experience bathing and clipping nails. I’m very versatile in the dog world and I’ve worked with them all. I’d love to care for your pet(s). Thank you much for considering! I currently have a job in dog care but trying to give extra time to rover. Week days are good, things change from week to week but can make time for any pets, if this goes good I want this full time until it grows bigger! I have a fenced yard so I will play with your pups and give them attention! I have 4 dogs of my own whom are all pet friendly, if your pup is not that’s completely fine. I have areas so they will never have to meet. I will always give the attention to your pup if deciding to board in home!
About: I like dogs and I'm good at caring for them. I'm responsible and nurturing. We have two dogs, Olive and Lady. I'd love to meet you and your babies. I would feed them and care for them before work and after. I would also be willing to stop by on my lunchbreak. We can work out the details together. I play with them on leashes outside or in fenced in areas. I will change water, feed, and give treats as needed. I can spend time there at the home with your pet as requested.
