“Kayla is extremely talented and careful with cats amd did a great job caring for Fred! She is very reliable and that made me feel very comfortable to do my traveling.”
“Josh did a wonderful job taking care of Mali. Mali took to Josh right away when he came for his meet visit which really put our mind at ease. He went above and beyond taking care of her. This was our first time using a rover but I will not hesitate to use Josh again. Mali was happy and well taken care of when we got home from our trip.”
“This is our second time working with Samantha, she works well with our furry family member and he enjoys her visits. We will continue to have Samantha whenever she is available to watch him.”

“Great sitter for our cat Harley. Felt like she knew Harley after just the meet and greet. Regan took special care to make Harley feel comfortable with her and brought his food to him when he was feeling anxious about her arrival on the first day. Will be rebooking Regan if we need another sitter.”
“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”

About: I've been caring for cats for as long as I can remember and have experience with cats of all ages, from newborn kittens to seniors. I currently have three cats of my own, including one who recently had a litter of kittens, giving me hands-on experience caring for both mom and babies. I also have experience with large dogs, as I have two of my own. Over the years, I've cared for pets belonging to neighbors, family, and friends, including feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to providing reliable, compassionate care that helps both pets and their owners feel at ease. With my flexible schedule and summers free, I have plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or quality playtime, I can accommodate a variety of schedules and give your pet the attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to know your furry family member is in good hands, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care while you're away. I care for cats and dogs with compassion and building trust. Having 2 large dogs and 3 cats of my own, I love furry friends!
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, care, and attention. I’m dependable, responsible, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them plenty of attention. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, meals, potty breaks, and companionship they need rather than rushing through visits. I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to follow each pet’s established routine and providing consistent care throughout the day. I also make communication a priority, so pet parents can expect updates and photos while they’re away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and close attention to their individual needs. Before each booking, I make sure I understand the pet’s routine, feeding instructions, walking preferences, medications if applicable, and any behaviors or special instructions I should be aware of. Safety is my priority, so I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and make sure everything is left clean and secure. I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable, so I provide regular updates and photos and communicate promptly if anything seems unusual. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and loved while their family is away

Taco, my cat definitely appreciated the timely meals 😆, churu treats ☺️ and play time. Definitely will continue with her for future bookings.”
“Madison was wonderful during her first day stopping in to check on my puppy!! She gave great updates and photos and was great with her! Definitely will be continuing to use her.”
“Kayla has been terrific with our Rocky. He just loves her! She recently stayed at our home for a week and while caring for our pup, she was respectful of our home and belongings. She also communicates well and is prompt with responses. We love the pictures she sent each day so we knew Rocky was being well-cared for and having a good time.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Galena
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 for Cat Sitting in Galena on Rover is $14.99 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,284 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:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
