About: I have been caring for other families animals since I was 10! I have always had a passion for all animals. We have had dogs in the home and outside since I was 5! I am also a huge advocate of rescues and experienced with all breeds! I work from home and I have a pretty flexible schedule. This allows for me to pet sit animals as on the side as a hobby and for extra income. I will handle your animals as if they were my own! Whatever your typical routine is, I will strive to do as well. To the best of my ability!
About: I have been blessed to grow up with cats and dogs my whole life. I love taking care of animals. I have a dog and 3 cats of my own. Animals bring joy and it’s important to find care that you can trust and will do what you ask because they are your animals. I’m happy to care for your pets the way you request. I believe animals are a part of the family and deserve to be treated with that kind of love, care, and respect. I’m currently working part time as a nurse while I care for my son and my own fur babies. I look forward to meeting more animals and sharing the love. I have a privacy fenced in back yard where our dog stays. I have 2 outdoor cats (used to my dog who come and go as they please) and 1 indoor cat. If you choose to board your dog with mine we would have a meet and greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for your fur baby and mine
“Cheyanne took such great care of our dog Ace while we were on vacation! I can tell that he had so much fun and enjoyed his stay. Without a doubt, we will continue to use her services in the future!?”
“Erica quickly bonded with my dog and provided excellent care. Erica is very caring and conscientious. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and knowledgeable person to care for their pet. Her rates are very reasonable, and she provides exceptional service. My dog absolutely loved playing ball with Erica. She was very accommodating to my requested dates over the holidays. I can tell my dog was extremely well loved and taken care of while in Erica’s care. Thanks so much for loving and caring for my best friend while we were away 😊❤️”
“Deborah was absolutely wonderful all the way around! I felt so comfortable leaving my big fur baby with her. She sent pictures and updates, and treated him like her own. I’m grateful he was able to play in a wide variety of settings, sleep comfortably, and even come home ready for a nap! This was my first time leaving him with someone, and I will absolutely come to Deborah first for the second time around. I feel comfortable using Rover as a whole starting out with such a positive experience. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kayla was amazing and very easy to work with! My doggies had a room for themselves and a nice fenced in yard to play! Came back home very happy! Thanks Kayla for working with us!”
“Kelsey took great care of Murphy & I especially appreciated her flexibility to keep him an extra night when my flight landed in Raleigh instead of Roanoke. I enthusiastically recommend her.”
About: I have over four years of hands on experience working in a veterinary hospital, where I’ve cared for animals of all types, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals with special medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, and providing gentle, attentive care—especially for geriatric and special-needs pets who require extra patience and understanding. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I work full time but I am able to leave for lunch and take care of your precious pets! If they need 24/7 care they can come with me to work and get to go outside as many times as they need. I have a front yard that is fenced and I am in walking distance to the dog park if that is something that your dog loves. At clients home I will stick to your pets normal routine.
About: I am a puppy mom of two loveable border collie crosses and one German Shepherd! We have a large front yard for the dogs to run as well as a farm to explore. My husband and I have had dogs all our life, but we got our first together in 2016 and added the second addition September 2017. Our third pup was added in 2025. On the weekends we take hiking trips and would love to have your pup join us on our adventures. I have my own business and work from home, so they would have as many breaks as needed. Your pup would be in great hands with us. I work from home, with my own business, so I have a lot of flexibility in caring for your pet! Outside time and rest breaks are able to fit right into my schedule. In our primary residence we have 3 dogs, all of which are crate trained. For my office space though I am able to have it dog free should your pet need that.

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently share my home with my husband and three friendly dogs and two cats who love to socialize with new friends (as long as they are calm and polite around cats). Living on 5 beautiful acres, we have plenty of space for dogs to explore, play, and enjoy fresh air. There’s also a fenced area for safe outdoor time and a quiet room inside for pets who prefer their own space or need downtime away from others. I treat every pet as part of the family - providing personalized care, a comfortable environment, and lots of love and attention. Whether it’s an overnight stay or doggy daycare, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and right at home. I work from my home office, so I’m here throughout the day to give pets plenty of attention and supervision. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust to each pet’s normal routine - whether that means morning walks, midday playtime, or cozy afternoon naps. Dogs enjoy frequent outdoor time or inside play depending on the weather and their comfort level. While I do occasionally step away for short appointments, pets are never left alone for more than two hours at a time, and always in a safe, comfortable space. Your pets will get lots of love, care, and companionship - not just supervision, but genuine quality time. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Cleanliness and safety are part of my daily routine: food and water are refreshed regularly, litter and waste are promptly managed, and all playtime is supervised. Your pets will enjoy a spacious, peaceful environment, balanced socialization, multi-pet expertise, personalized attention, flexible accommodations, and all-day care. I keep a close eye on each guests’ comfort, routine, and personality, ensuring they get the right mix of activity, affection, and rest. With me, your met will enjoy country-style play, cozy indoor time, and loving attention.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Galax on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 29 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Galax. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Galax home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Galax.
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 Galax 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 VA 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.
