“Grace was fantastic! Oliver clearly loved spending time with her! She went above and beyond and relieved my stress of having to leave my pup at home for so long. I will definitely be booking again in the future 😄”

“Jen took great care of my cat, Callie, while I was away. The regular updates and pictures she sent me made it much easier for me to enjoy my trip without worrying about Callie’s wellbeing. Would definitely recommend booking Jen!”

About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life! From little shi tzus to giant retrievers, excitable put bulls, and even large packs of dogs! Think yours are a handful? Try raising 12 Golden's at once! I've always been naturally good with dogs and I'm more than willing to work with the more stuborn ones so don't worry if your fur baby is a little standoffish. I am currently working another job so I'd prefer overnight bookings to be at least 2 weeks in advance but if my schedule happens to be free I'm happy to take short notice bookings as well. I will be unavailable from 3pm-11pm every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday in October, I am still accepting bookings in the mornings though! I will keep your dogs happy and healthy by careful following all instructions and wearing them out so you come home to a peaceful pup!
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful with my kitties. She was patient and waited for them to warm up and had them coming to greet her just a few days in. She always sent great photos of the cats playing and kept them from feeling lonely while I was gone.”


About: Hello! I'm Renee and I have been an "animal person" since I was a child. Starting with the family pets that were usually strays that came to stay, until today, where I have a total of 5 rescue dogs with diverse sizes and personalities. More about them later! I worked at Pampered Pet Clinic in Hillsboro Oregon several years ago and assisted the vet with procedures, surgeries, vaccinations and medications. Does your pet need timed medications? I would be happy to help you with it. I have been involved with rescuing, transporting and fostering dogs through several rescues, including "Key to Happiness" rescue which rescued and healed many homeless and injured dogs and found them new forever homes. My approach to pet sitting is to make the animal as comfortable and happy as possible, depending on what that particular pet needs the most. Some need petting and cuddles and some need playing and activity or both. It is stressful when their family is away and I make sure to become their friend. I am not there to correct behaviors but to give them the love and security that they're missing with out their family. I also have had folks come in and look after my beloved pets when going out of town and I know that it feels a little odd with someone coming into your home. For that reason I treat your home with the utmost respect. I don't go into any rooms with doors closed and do not help myself to anything that you have not specified. I check and double check all door locks and gates and am familiar with alarm codes. Your keys stay on my keychain at all times until they returned to you. I'm a mature and stable homeowner in the area with stellar local references. I will be happy to meet and greet you in your home to make sure we are a good compatible fit and can't wait to meet your fur babies! I mostly work from my home doing my online selling and crafts so have full time availability for pet and house sitting in your home. Visits, walking and even overnights are available. If I am staying in your home while you are away I will periodically leave to manage my home and pets but never more than 4 hours. Because of the number of dogs in my home with varied temperaments and sizes I prefer to pet sit in your home, rather than mine. It keeps my pups more balanced and all pets are happier in their own environment.
“Jessica was great again ! This is the second time we have used her and have no hesitation to use her again.pups were taken care of and she sent updates every day recommend highly !”

“Mary is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She provided exceptional, top-tier service and was incredibly caring and responsible with our cat. It gave us total peace of mind knowing she was in such capable, loving hands. She is professional, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond. Highly, highly recommended!”


About: I have experience working with dogs and myself have owned dogs all my life. I frequently pet sit for friends and family, staying a week at a time in a few cases. I’m more than willing to stay overnight with your pets to keep them company when you’re gone! I’m willing to prepare meals for your pets if they are on a diet so long as you provide me with clear instructions and ingredients. I will care for “aggressive” dogs and provide senior pet care, including oral medication and bedtime routines. I am currently available 24/7. Morning afternoon evening and night! I will of course prioritize my own dogs, but currently I am able to go where I am needed! I will spend time socializing with your pets to ensure they don’t feel neglected while you’re gone, I adore all kinds of dogs and cats. If you have any other pets in the home I’ll gladly take care of them too, including small rodents, ferrets, reptiles, fish, and amphibians!
“Penny is fabulous! We needed a last minute sitter for our dog and we really lucked out. She took excellent care of our boys while we were away for the weekend. She was great at communicating with us throughout the weekend & we loved the thorough updates and pictures with every visit!! She is very reliable and we will definitely book with Penny again!!”

“Reeanna was amazing! They took such great care of my cat while I was away and sent me the cutest updates every day. I came home to a super happy (and very spoiled) kitty. Totally recommend and will definitely book again!”


About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life, and since I was a fairly young child I was taught to be responsible with pets as my mom was a vet tech. I work Thursday 12-5 and 5-10 on Friday/Saturday, so I can easily take dogs on walks in the afternoon during the nicest part of the day on most week days, as well as Sunday! I have my own car and will be super happy to pick up your pup to go on walks, and I have experience with house sitting prior so I am experienced with using alarm systems in homes.

About: Animals are my life, love and passion! I am a full-time, work-from-home professional pet sitter and dog walker and have owned Meows & Growls Pet Sitting Service since July 2014. I enjoy visiting customers homes to provide daily care as well as vacation care. I have had the pleasure of taking care of basic needs (food, water, potty breaks, exercise) for Dachshunds, Pugs, Poodles, Malteses, Norwegian Elkhounds, Newfoundlands, Labs and Goldens I am certified CPR/First Aid, bonded and insured. Volunteer experience has been with our local animal shelter/rescue. I have participated in training classes with puppies and adults. What sets me apart from other sitters is I am a professional not a hobby sitter as my credentials illustrate. My 25 years had been both personally and professionally since 2014.
About: I am a dog trainer at Feeders Supply Jeffersonville location. Everything I make from this site will go towards my career. I taught my own personal dog how to walk properly, sit, lay, stay, spin, to say his prayers, as well as many more when I had him! I enjoy any and every animal and breed I also have a few snakes. I request to meet the dog with the owner prior to any commitment to ensure they are comfortable with me. I took off house sitting temporarily due to past houses being unlivable. Anything else you would like to know, I am an open book, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time from home as well as dog training once a week as of now. My husband also works from home so someone is available to monitor at all times! My work schedule will be changing soon, however should have the time to do drop by visits if near by. I have two friendly and playful dogs that could be entertaining, but also know how to be patient when necessary. I also have a baby gate to separate pups, if need be. I also have two cats that joined our family that see dogs as other cats. They will end up playing with your dog by the end of their stay, guaranteed!
About: I have been fostering puppies with my mom since i was 8 years old. I have 5 dogs myself, Gunner the English Shepherd, Ember a Pitbull, Saint, Saydi, and Saige which are all German shorthaired pointers. I also have a goat that seems to thing he’s a dog and plays fetch. Rigatoni. I’m currently working part time so i will have plenty of time to play with your pups!! I can’t wait to meet some new animals! I currently live by myself so I dont have any other dogs staying with me so i can keep a dog if its needed!! I have a room that the dog can stay in if needed!
About: I have had pets since I was a child. I started pet sitting 13 years ago. I love all the fur babies I get to meet and their different personalities. I mostly sit for dogs and cats but now I even sit for chickens! I have 1 fur baby of my own - Catalina, my cat. I currently work from home. My job allows me the flexibility to work wherever I have an internet connection. I would love the opportunity to sit for your fur babies. I love to care for pets in their own home. I work remote and will be with your fur babies 24/7 unless I need to run an errand or just pop out for a bit. My number 1 priority is your fur babies. I apologize, but due to health reasons I will not be able to sit for anyone that has a smoker in their home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 563 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Galena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Galena. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
