“Kristine was our first ever Rover experience. She and her family were so loving and engaged with our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and went out of her way to make sure we knew our dog was having a great time while we were away. We intend to reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to everyone. So much care and kindness!”

“We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Kelsey was incredibly accommodating and willing to help watch out pup. She was considerate, sent updates and pictures, and was sure to check in on any needs our dog may need. Highly highly recommended!”
“WOW!! I dont even know where to begin. As a first time user of Rover, I was unsure how it would go, and Joe exceeded every expectation I had. He was kind, responsive, and made all of us feel so comfortable throughout the process. Manny looked right at home in all of the pictures we sent and I’m pretty sure he would have stayed with Joe indefinitely if we let him 😂 Thank you Joe for an amazing experience and peace of mind while we were on our trip!!!”
“4th… maybe 5th visit (but who’s counting😅) and ember has absolutely loved visiting every time! Always has fun running around and spending time with her dogs, but also laying around and enjoying family time! Always love the updates Loni provides to make sure my pup is doing amazing - already have the next visit planned and I know ember is excited already!”
“John and Shannon sent us several pics, video's and texts of Ruby enjoying walks, their dog Maggie and the backyard. We appreciated their honesty. It did not go problem free but they handled the situations properly. We are glad we tried Rover.”
“Marena was a fantastic sitter for my dog Max! She gave me frequent updates and had no issues with the provided instructions for his care. Marena took such great care of Max, I don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up :) I will definitely have her watch Max again in the future.”
“Gabby has been watching Rosa often for the last couple of years and is the best dog sitter I've ever had. I know Rosa is well taken care of and happy when she is at Gabby's house. I receive pictures often of her playing in the backyard and with her toys. She is attentive and flexible to my schedule for pick-up/drop-off. I can't recommend Gabby enough!”
“Erica was a great sitter for our little one. Easy to talk to and plan things with. Sent pictures and videos of our dog to us everyday. Our dog is a cuddler at night and she went out of her way to make sure our dog was cuddled right next to her or her husband while they slept. Would recommend!”
“Jasmine was wonderful with our corgi! She kept us updated, sent photos, and asked questions regarding her care. She even accepted a last minute booking. We would definitely rebook again with Jasmine!”

“Maria did an excellent job taking care of my dog. She was very friendly and helpful. She sent me many pictures of my dog when I was away and kept me updated about his daily activities. My Watson had an amazing time with her. Would definitely recommend her to my friends and family. ??”
“I had an emergency while traveling and my return trip was delayed. When you're handling severe weather and major delays, the last thing you want to worry about is whether your pet can be cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Galena on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 945 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Galena. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
94% of Galena sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Galena 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 Galena 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 Galena.
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 Galena 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 OH 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.
