About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.
âBecky did an excellent job of making Rocky feel comfortable even though he is a new rescue of mine. She stayed in touch the entire time I was gone and sent lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her and hope to have Rocky there again soon!â

âFantastic pet sitter! I have a very stubborn and specific elderly dog and after talking with her once, I felt completely confident that he would be well taken care of. I received multiple updates throughout my dogâs stay, and she was even gracious enough to allow me to pick him up after midnight. Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dogâs stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!â

âShawnia was the best pet sitter ever. Seven really enjoyed herself and she made me feel at ease during my whole trip by sending me pictures and updates. Iâll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much.â

About: A calm, loving home with a fenced yardâand 30 years of real dog experience to back it up. Hi! Iâm a lifelong dog lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. Two years ago, I lost my beloved shepherd. While that was incredibly hard, it inspired me to open my home and heart to other dogs. Since then, Iâve been caring for dogs for family and friends, as well as volunteering with foster dogsâhelping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they wait for their forever homes. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore, and I donât have any pets of my own right now. That means your dog gets my full attention in a calm, low-stress environmentâperfect for dogs who prefer their own space or need a little extra comfort. I treat every dog like theyâre my own and tailor care to their unique personalityâwhether thatâs active playtime, relaxing companionship, or a steady routine. You can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home filled with attention, affection, and plenty of tail wags. Iâd love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work full time, but I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home often and adjust my day around the needs of the dogs in my care. Iâm able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Your dog wonât be left alone for long periods and will be part of a calm, structured, and caring environment. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home where dogs feel relaxed and happy. They get potty breaks, playtime, and fenced-yard fun, and if Iâm at work, crating is never more than 4 hours, with breaks on lunch or as needed. With no other pets at home, your dog gets plenty of one-on-one attention and care like family.
âOur dogs were so happy and content while we were on spring break, and the kids loved looking at the photo and videos Deb sent throughout the week. We are a little worried they will be bored when they come back home after being at the Cavi play date all week. We will definitely be a repeat customer!! Such great communication, care, and genuine love for Mimi and Jessie while we were on spring break! Thank you!â

âMadison is amazing, my dog is very anxious. I had a lot of requests and Madison was very accommodating and went above and beyond. She sent updates every day and a video. Hercules was happy and well looked after. I will definitely use her again.â

âRosie had a wonderful time visiting and playing with her new found friends! Thank you Savannah for taking such great care of our puppy Rosie! Highly recommend and personable!â

âGreat 1st experience for my Teddy and I. Iâm so pleased with the care my boy received! This was our first time actually hiring a dog sitter and it was flawless, such a wonderful experience with Catherine. From beginning to end, she made everything so easy and comforting for my dog and I!â

âIâve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!â


âNatasha was very accommodating to our travel delays. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Natasha is our #1 dog sitter. If you're wondering which Rover to book, you'll be so happy if you choose Natasha.â

About: For the past ten years Iâve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
âAlexia and her family is amazing and quite attentive to every detail. She took our great pry last minute and was amazing! Communication was great and informative of every day activities, even exposing our girl to new activities. Highly recommend, absolutely will be reaching out when needing a sitter!â

âThis was the second time Sarah had watched our dog and we are still so happy with the care that Sarah provides. She was also very accommodating with a slight change in drop off/pick up time. We know he is well loved and enjoys playing with her dogs as well. So grateful to have found Sarah!â

âNick was great! He was very responsive via the rover app and sent us pictures of our precious senior boy daily. Nick was able to provide our 14yr old dog extra attention because of his old age which made us very comfortable and relaxed while we were away. 10/10 would recommend as a great, reliable dog sitter.â

âTaya was wonderful!! My pup stayed with her while I was out of town and she sent me tons of updates and pictures/videos. I have a timid pup and she was totally understanding about it. Will definitely book again :)â

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Galesburg on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 220 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Galesburg. About 89% of Galesburg sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether youâre 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 petâs personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs care.
Many sitters in MI 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, youâre 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, Roverâs reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
