About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 4. I have taken care of anything from senior yorkies to training service puppies. I am comfortable with any size, age, or gender, or breed. Just truly an animal lover at the core! I am currently a full-time worker at Abbott. I am gone 8AM-4PM M-F but am more than open any other time during the week and all weekend! I live in multi-floored apartment with green area for all kinds of dogs. I have more than enough room for roaming and crating. Dogs are allowed on my furniture but can be prevented from doing so if needed.
“Jenna did a great job with our cats! She provided great care for our cats while we were on vacation! I would highly recommend her for pet sitting services!”
“10/10 Will recommend Anikka to anyone who needs pet sitting! She takes special care and consideration for your pet and will make sure she treats them as her own. She will go above and beyond, making sure they are well taken care of but that their behavioral needs are also met. My cat is very social and Anikka made sure to spend a lot of quality time with her. The pictures were great too! You can tell Anikka also has an animal care and behavior background, as she really understands your pet’s needs while you are gone. She’s great and everyone should hire her!”
“Highly recommend Autumn! She truly cares deeply about animals. I had peace of mind knowing my cat was in such great hands— she even brought him a Christmas treat and toy which he loved!”
“Kayla is kind, responsive, and easy to work with. She provides helpful updates and asks good questions, which makes being away easier. We have booked with her several times without hesitation.”

I have money that I can buy food if I need to if they have a specific diet and I can provide anything you need to keep your pet safe and healthy and happy.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years—both my own and others’—and I truly treat each animal like family. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and TLC. Whether it’s following a specific feeding schedule, administering medication, or giving your fur baby all the snuggles and attention they deserve, I’ve got it covered. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have a consistent weekly schedule that allows me to be flexible with pet drop-ins, walks, and in-home sitting. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and early evening visits during the week, and have extended availability on weekends. When caring for pets in their own home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I take time to get to know each pet’s routine, preferences, and personality so I can follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, potty breaks, walks, or just cozy cuddle time. I respect your home as if it were my own—keeping things clean, secure, and leaving everything just as I found it. I’m mindful about doors, gates, and any instructions you provide to keep your pet safe. I also communicate regularly with updates and photos so you feel fully informed and confident while you’re away. Trust is everything, and I work hard to earn it from both you and your pets.

If your pet needs to sleep with me, I would not mind one bit!
“Sarah was so patient and caring. We couldn’t be happier with her communication and pictures. We would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone and would absolutely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 18 years and truly love spending time with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, a puppy, or a senior, I’ll provide dependable care, lots of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work full-time in the Genetics Lab at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. My schedule allows me to provide pet care after work on weekdays and with flexible availability on weekends. I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect and make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
“Jayde was amazing! Our girl Luna absolutely fell in love with her and had the best time. She kept us updated, took great care of Luna, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

Kayla did an amazing job dropping in to take care of my 2 cats while I was away on vacation. One cat had specific diet needs and med administrations twice a day, and she handled it like a champ! She even vacuumed my floors before I came home, which was an added bonus. Would definitely book her again and highly recommend!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Danielle took such wonderful care of Hazel and Earl, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. We loved the daily updates, thoughtful notes, and cute photos that really showed how happy and comfortable our cats were. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Galena is $15 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $17 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
