“Camryn responded immediately and came out to meet my doggies beforehand. The dogs like her! She came out with her little one, but the dogs weren't quite sure about the baby carrier with the fan on it :). They were really curious though. Camryn took good care of my fur-babies, fed them and made sure they went potty before she left. I will contact her again.”

About: Hi my name is Kaley. I am an artist and novice gardener. I provide pet sitting services in your own home, dog walks and check-ins. As well as outdoor exercise, lots of loving attention, feeding, and administering oral medication. I will also pick up and drop off pets. I have years of experience caring for dogs and cats through house sitting and ownership. I have fur babies of my own and I love animals of all sizes and ages. I look forward to hearing from you about your pets needs and meeting all your precious fur babies! I currently have a lot of flexibility in my schedule, so can accommodate most needs and I will have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have a fenced yard and two very friendly dogs, but I prefer to watch and play with your pets in your home where they are most comfortable!

About: I have owned and taken care of pets my whole life. Within the past five years did I start actively pet sitting. Services I have experience in include staying overnight (can be long term after discussion), drop-ins, feeding, and consistent walking. I also have helped pets with taking medications. I am currently working full time, so pet care would best work Friday to Sunday evening. If the location is close, I will be able to do weekday overnight stays. I would like to see the owner’s home first to ensure I can get in / get out and take care of the pet properly! This includes taking note of fenced yards, any space the pet is not allowed in, and being aware of pet habits (chewing on items, scratching, not potty trained). This ensures I know what to do beforehand and can give the best pet care.

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, all shapes and sizes. I currently own a Husky, his name is Rollo, and a Chihuahua named Yoda. Both of them are age 6 and have been solely in my care since. I understand that every dog has their own personality, especially breeds like huskies. I’m comfortable handling their energy, attitude, and unique needs while making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I'm currently working part-time but am also in between jobs so my schedule could change. However, because my job schedule can be slightly unpredictable, I will still try my best to help out. The only guaranteed day I cannot do is Monday. I live in a safe quiet environment that offers lots of nearby maintained county trails for dogs to walk in, including enclosed dog parks. My two dogs get along with others extremely well to provide company if wanted.

About: Ever since I was a child, I’ve had a deep love for animals of all kinds! I’ve grown up with dogs, birds, and a family cat at one point. Over the years, I’ve watched family, friends, peers furr babies. As a proud United States Army Veteran, integrity is incredibly important to me, and I bring that same dedication and care to everything I do. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a leisurely walk, or some well-deserved cuddles, I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry loved one and give them all the love and attention they deserve. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home frequently and only need WiFi. This flexibility allows me to provide your pet with plenty of attention, care, and time throughout the day! I currently provide pet care by visiting your homes, ensuring your pets are comfortable and well cared for in their own comfortable environment, as well as providing their regular routine.

About: I’ve been involved in pet care the entirety of my adulthood. From big sled dogs to frenchies and more, I’ve played along with more than I can say. Experienced specifically with large breed dogs and small to medium reactive dogs. I work almost full time at a local doggy daycare. If your pet is a client there I’m happy to be flexible about drop off and pick up from there. I have varying flexibility throughout the week. Friday is the day I’m least available. I offer primarily drop in visits and walks. Well mannered dogs may walk with myself and my friendly, female dog. Others may get a little more one on one time if uncomfortable with other dogs.

About: I care with love, patience, and presence. I’m experienced with both playful pups and senior pets, and I treat every animal like family. Reliable, calm, and faith-rooted. Your pet is safe with me. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my week when I’m not waitressing, serving in student ministry, or at church. I have a flexible schedule and love spending my free time caring for animals with presence, love, and joy. 🐾 I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines closely, giving lots of love and attention, and keeping their space clean and secure. I respect your home like it’s my own and send regular updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. 🐾

About: Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic dogs who love adventure to cats who prefer a quiet companion, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. My goal is simple: give your pets the attention, care, and peace of mind they deserve while you’re gone. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend bookings. Because pet care is one of my primary focuses, I’m able to provide reliable communication, consistent care, and accommodate many last-minute requests when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or extended care, I strive to be available when you need me most. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, and I always strive to create a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at ease. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and personality, and I’ll keep you updated throughout my time with them so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities.

About: I've had experience with pets ranging from rats, to fish, to snakes, cats, and dogs. I am no stranger to dogs/animals in general. I'll do everything in my power to ensure the safety and happiness of your beloved family member. I can handle big pets and small pets. Aggressive, anxious, timid, reactive, and generally difficult pets are my specialty. I can keep up with high energy/athletic pets, and care for disabled pets. I can pass meds, teach a few commands, and give you updates on how your pets are doing. Animals tend to love me as much as I love them, thank you for trusting me with you family. I'm available pretty much every day and during select holidays. I have a very flexible schedule due to the nature of my work at this time. I do drop ins, house sitting, and walks. I'll check on your pets, make sure they haven't gotten into anything, play with them, feed them, take them out, clean up after them, and provide updates on their care.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Galesburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 566 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Galesburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Galesburg. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
