“Alexandria did an excellent job with my dog, Pluto! She was very attentive and made me feel very comfortable keeping him! I absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter!”
“Gabi was awesome with my pup while I was out of town! She made sure to send pictures and an update daily. She had extra supplies on hand for his arrival. I will definitely be reaching out again for future travels!”
“Kristine took care of our puppy overnight and was a wonderful host. It was our first time using Rover, and she helped us feel comfortable throughout the entire process. We had an opportunity to have a virtual meet/greet which helped answer many of our questions. During the stay she kept us updated with pictures and provided assurance on how well things were going. 100% recommend. Thank you!”
“Halina and Theodor took such good care of our dog while we were away for a couple weeks. Our dog was very happy and comfortable being there. I would highly recommend choosing them to watch your pet. We will definitely reach out to them again the next time our dog needs a sitter.”
“Ellen was fabulous! She kept me updated with photos and messages each day, and I came home to a very happy dog. He sometimes seems a bit stressed out after I’ve been away, but not with Ellen. He was obviously in very good hands with her. I’m grateful for her care and attention. I highly recommend!”
“Karl is AMAZING! He watched our girls over our wedding weekend and it was so nice not to have to worry about them one bit. He sent pictures and updates through the weekend and somehow got our pullers to walk nicely on a leash. They came back tired from a weekend full of fun! Karl went above and beyond to support us and take care of our girlies and we will definitely be using his services again!”
“Allison is wonderful! She was very communicative before and during Oz’s stay and was serious about understanding his routines and habits. We felt great knowing he was getting her full attention for walks, snuggles, and care! Highly recommend!!”
“Jasmine was amazing with my dog Kobe! She kept me up to date sending pics and informing me of his stay which made me felt relieved he was in great care. I totally plan on boarding my pup with her and her family again on future trips!”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”
“Amy was able to sit for my dog Ivy for four days on very short notice. She was very accommodating and really want the extra mile to work with me on schedule. She has a lovely home with a nice fenced backyard for your pup. Her fur baby Roxy is such a sweetheart and immediately was friendly with my 100 pound dog. Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”
“Lizmarie was great! Carly stayed with her for about a week when we were on vacation. She sent us updates and photos during her stay and made sure Carly smelled good when we picked her up. Will definitely book her again the next time we are going out of town.”
“My cocker spaniel was very well cared for by Zach. They have a great fenced in backyard which she enjoyed and lots of toys. I was very happy with the daily pictures and videos. Would definitely book with them again!”
About: Hello!! **Update** I am currently accepting walks for only 6-7am and 8-10pm timeframes. I have several repeat clients that take up the other hours but will update this if things change. Drop ins are same timeframes except for Sundays and Tuesdays I can take on anytime all day. If you are going on vacation please reach out anyways about Drop Ins as if my schedule allows I CAN accommodate for the most part with a month in advance*** :) My name is Christine and thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile :) I used Rover for 4-5 years but I moved and then was working 2 jobs at the time so I took a break and am back now! I currently live in a condo and do not have a yard right now but I’m feet away from a really great park here in Powell. I grew up taking care of many types of animals but more specifically dogs. I have 3 dogs of my own, all different breeds and personalities, which really challenged me to be able to learn and grow with taking care of dogs. I am working on opening my own location for a Doggie Day care business but until then I would like to gain even more experience and slowly earn loyal doggie clients. Mainly available for walks 7 days a week. Mostly open for drop ins 5-7 days a week ! I have a flexible schedule for last min bookings My 3 pets are EXTREMELY LOVED and spoiled! They have their own closets, foods, toys and even a room dedicated to my cats and dogs in case they just need that alone time away from the humans ! They receive the upmost care for grooming and vet clinic as well! My wallet is never happy when it comes to my pets because I just find so many ways to love them and spoil them!
“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”
“We were probably more anxious than the dogs to leave them with a stranger! This was our first time needing boarding after adopting Tiko 4yrs ago, and Bella 10yrs ago. We usually have at least one family member who stays behind for the fur babies. Bill was quick to respond, and allowed us a meet and greet before booking the stay. Their property us beautiful, with a huge fenced back yard, surrounded by cows and horses. They provided photo updates during our stay, and our pups seemed to genuinely enjoy their vacation from home. They were well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book again, if ever boarding is needed!”
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of Sofie. She even got Sofie to go on a walk, which she usually will do only with me! Elizabeth sent frequent photos as this was Sofie's first time staying with her and her boys. The whole family was very loving and caring towards Sofie.”
“This was our first time leaving Poppy with Molly. We felt very comfortable leaving Poppy with her. She was kind and understanding of all of Poppy’s needs. Molly responded quickly whenever we had a question. She will be our go to whenever we need care for Poppy again.”
“Alyssa was great! She helped take care of our puppy Nova while we were on a weekend vacation. It allowed us to relax and not have to worry about our baby. Also, her 2 fur babies got along well with Nova and we even were able to do a pre meet before the vacation. Plus they have a nice yard in the back. Alyssa sent updates and photos throughout our trip. She’s very friendly and easy to talk to. Would recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 964 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
