“Laken is absolutely wonderful. Biscuit had the best time with her and her family she took amazing care of my lil guy while I was out of town. Any pup who spends time with Laken is incredibly lucky!!”

“Pam did an AMAZING job with our dog, Green Bean! We have never booked a dog sitter before (besides friends and family) and were nervous about how our chihuahua would do, especially considering he has some issues with reactivity and anxiety. Pam (and her husband) put us completely at ease and loved our little guy like he was their own! He obviously adored them. Pam sent plenty of good updates and photos and made drop off and pick up super easy. We can't thank her enough!”

“They took care of my Doberman so well. Atla was super happy there and seemed to really enjoy them 😊 I really appreciate the love care and attention they gave to her.”


“Kirsten was excellent! She is conscientious and caring. She gave frequent DETAILED updates and photos. We felt very comfortable that our dog was being well- cared for while away for a long weekend trip. Highly recommend!”

“Jingle needs special accommodations and Scott took really good care of her. I received photos every day and also updates on Jingle’s condition. Jingle also has plenty of exercise every day! She had a good time there 🥰”

“Michelle and Justin were great with communicating with us while we were gone! I got daily pictures and updates knowing my dogs were good and having a fun time. They were also super accommodating with everything. I would book with them again in the future.”

“Rachel was awesome with my dog Griffey! She was great to work with. Very accommodating, responded quickly, and even sent some pics of Griff when out-and-about! I can tell he enjoyed his time in her care. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your furry friend, book Rachel! 💯 ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”

About: My family has two dogs. I have experience with puppies to seniors, large breed and small. I have also had and loved a cat. I am comfortable with medication administration. I will leave your home as clean as I find it and will love on your pets like they are my own. I am a homebody and love animals, so my Rover gigs are perfect for me. I will plan around your pet’s needs. Currently, I am doing Rover and I work part-time. I will spend the evenings and overnights in with your pet(s). I prefer written instructions on how you like your pet and home cared for and will follow your instructions. I’m glad to send you photos of your happy pet while away. I like to lounge on the couch with pets, will gladly take dogs for a walk, or play in the yard.
“Connie and her family are wonderful. We got daily updates and I love knowing that while we are away our dogs our safe and getting spoiled. My one dog had many medications to take this time and she was great about the extra work involved with him this trip.”
“Justin was amazing to work with, expressing great communication and care for my pup. I cannot recommend him and his son enough, they were the best option and I will definitely return!”

“Yasmin and her husband were by far THE best rovers we have ever had for Kota!!!! We got tons of updates, and he was so happy and loved there. He got lots of walks, plenty of playtime, and so many snuggles. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!!!”

“Coco had a great time!! Allison is great at sending updates (pictures and videos) enjoying her time, which made it easier for us to be away from Coco for so many days. Thank you Allison!”

Hasber is friendly, good with animals, and regular communication for duration of pet stay. The environment was friendly and spacious for Exercise. I got photos of my pet and updates on my pet's day. I felt comfortable leaving my pet, and he was happy when I came to pick him up.”


About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have had the joy of owning and caring for pets throughout my life. I understand that pets aren’t just animals — they’re family. The unconditional love, companionship, and happiness they bring into our lives are truly special, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of creating a safe, caring, and welcoming environment. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and take pride in providing them with the attention, patience, and affection they deserve. My household also has a background in veterinary nursing, bringing valuable familiarity with animal health, behavior, and overall well-being into our home. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether you’re away for the day, a weekend, or an extended trip, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are being cared for with the same love and attention I would give my own. I enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, whether they love going for walks, playing outside, cuddling on the couch, or simply relaxing and enjoying some company. I want every pet to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your pet’s regular feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions or preferences you may have. I believe consistency and familiarity help pets feel secure, especially when they’re away from their families. Communication is also important to me. I’m always happy to provide pictures, updates, and check-ins throughout your pet’s stay so you can feel confident they’re happy and doing well. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the responsibility of caring for someone else’s pet seriously and strive to provide a loving, dependable, and positive experience for both pets and their owners. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and giving them a safe, loving home away from home! We will have a lot of time to interact with your pet and provide whatever their interest are to try and keep their routine as normal as possible. I am flexible and understanding of the owners request. However they would like me to do things, I will honor and respect that request. The pets safety is most important.

About: We adopted both dogs from South LA shelter in California. We’ve had Cali for 10 years and Teddy for less than a year. My husband house trained both of them. We have experience taking care of dogs through all stages of life, such as puppy, adult, and senior. I am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home. We have a big backyard that’s fenced, so we are able to accommodate to your dog’s potty schedule. We let our dogs out to potty at least 4 times a day and they eat twice a day. Our dogs sleep in our bedroom and yours would too :)
“Carissa and her husband are always fantastic with Louie but this time they went above and beyond! I went into labor much earlier than expected and we had to find someone to take our pup VERY quickly, and they were immediately on it and super helpful. So grateful for them!”

“Emily was great! This was our first time using a sitter instead of a boarding facility. She was quick to respond to messages and sent pictures. Our girl came home rested and happy instead of stressed out and exhausted from no sleep. Thank you!”

“Will definitely be bringing my pup back to Lindsay! She was responsive, gave updates, and very friendly. I felt reassured and secure while he was in Lindsay’s care😊highly recommend!”

“Christian and his partner have been very pleasant with each booking as well as understanding and accommodating! They provide updates and take quality time to play and walk Daisy who is very energetic. Definitely recommend!”

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Galena is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 per night. 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.
There are 940 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Galena. About 91% of Galena sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
