“Emily took wonderful care of Aria - I've never seen her more comfortable and relaxed at someone else's house! Received plenty of pictures and updates, was so happy to see that she felt right at home. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using Emily again.”
“Lauren and her family took Doug in as if he was their own. I recieved updates and plenty of pictures of Doug playing with their puppy Cinder, who is an absolute sweetheart. There is absolutely no doubt that I will be booking with Lauren and her family again.”
“Leo loved his stay with Emily & Nicholas! We received so many updates and pictures that made being away so much easier. They were extremely responsive and made Leo feel right at home as soon as he got there. He is a high energy dog that is overwhelming for many Rover hosts, and we are so glad to find someone we can continue to return to. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Kirsten and Nicolas took such good care of our boy! Our dog even got to play with their dogs and got along well with them. Their dogs are so calm and relaxed just what our 3 year old energetic dog needed to relax. They took care of our feeding schedule and our pup was back healthy and happy! I would definitely rebook with them.”
“I couldn't be happier with Loni! I'm so grateful I found such a loving environment with her family and pets. She's very professional and it shows that she knows what she's doing! I know my dog LOVED staying with them. Her dogs were so sweet. I can't wait for the next boarding!”
“Excellent communication and worked extremely well with our Donald! Despite his dog selectivity and general separation anxiety, they made sure he was comfortable and loved! And the pictures/video updates were consistent and frequent! We highly recommend Will and Bibiana to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
“Lauren looked after my baby while I was out of town, I was nervous because it was his first time spending the night away from me, but it’s safe to say that he had the time of his life! He was able to socialize with other dogs which was definitely a plus for me, she was also super sweet and professional. So happy to have found her ❤️”
“Another great experience with John and Shannon! Our girl was so excited when I dropped her off! She had a great time playing with her previous friends and her new friends!”

“Nicole made me feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with a meet and greet, and then later after drop-off, sending pictures immediately after we left of our Jack settling in with her dog. I felt so relieved and could enjoy our vacation! She checked in and sent pics regularly. Our highly active Jack was well exercised and crashed out when he got home! I will definitely use Nicole again!”
“Kelly and Ben were absolutely wonderful with Paloma! We got lots of pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Paloma was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. They were kind, communicative, and so easy to work with. We will definitely be booking with Kelly and Ben again! Highly recommend!”

Taylor, thank you so much for making this one less thing for me to worry about during my travel!”

“Bill & Mary were super accommodating with our schedule & arrangements from meet & greet to drop-off & pickup. We haven't left our 2 fur babies with a sitter for a couple yrs now & were nervous to leave them for 8 days in a new home. After meeting with Bill & Mary, we knew our dogs would be in the best of hands! It made for a nice family vacation to know they were well taken care of. They shared pictures/updates during the stay & upon return you could just tell our pups had nothing short of a great time. Highly recommend & will use Bill & Mary for upcoming stays!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Galena on Rover is $35.31 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 943 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.
