Highly-rated overnight sitters - Galena
“Emily sent lots of pictures to let us know how Simba’s stay was going. He tends to be anxious when we are away. But he seemed to be quite relaxed and happy at Emily’s place.”
“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”
“Angela was great. This was our first time using this app and she was amazing. Very communicative, sent pictures and updates and even gave Frosty a bath. I would recommend and definitely return to Angela again. Frosty loved it!!”
“What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much from all three of us. It’s such a relief to know that our girl was taken so great care of. It means so much”
“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!”
“12/10! She and her husband took in my zoo last minute, was super communicative and sensitive to any needs the had. My Newfie and English bully absolutely adores her golden and was even able to have a little birthday treat for her golden while there🤩 She is my go to now, 100%. Thanks for everything!”
“I would highly recommend LL Cool Dog! From the initial inquiry to the time we picked up our beagle, Sammy, Leslie and her family were stellar. Leslie takes her job seriously and is very professional. She asks the right questions and quickly eases your mind that your "baby" will be in good hands in your absence. The family dog, Shiloh, is a sweet dog with a great disposition. Our 8 year old got along splendidly with her as well. Awesome family, awesome yard, awesome care!”
“John, Shannon and their family took such good care of my pup while I was in vacation. They sent pictures and videos all throughout which was so nice. Crew was in such good hands. I could just tell how much fun he had while he was there. This family made it so much easier on me to leave my dog for a week and im so thankful to them and the love they showed my baby Crew.”
“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.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Our regular dog sitter pulled out at the last minute due to necessary travel, and we felt a little anxious about leaving Emmie with people we'd didn't know. As it turned out, we couldn't have been happier! Rita and Brian were the perfect pet parents for Emmie. Their house is spotless, they have a nice back garden, set up for dogs to feel right at home. We were gone for 16 days--a long time--but every day we received many photos of Emmie along with a summary of the day's activities. She got tons of attention and cuddles with daily walks and playtime. We will definitely be booking again!”
“4th… maybe 5th visit (but who’s counting😅) and ember has absolutely loved visiting every time! Always has fun running around and spending time with her dogs, but also laying around and enjoying family time! Always love the updates Loni provides to make sure my pup is doing amazing - already have the next visit planned and I know ember is excited already!”
“She and her daughter took great care of our pup. He loved them and seems to have had a great time on vacation from his parents. They took him on lots of walks, played with his favorite toys and gave him lots of love. Thank you so much for being a wonderful sitter to Prince.”
“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!”
“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”
“Looked like Raider had a great time with Kayleigh. Received pictures every day. Kaleigh is very accommodating and communication was great. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Joe is amazing! He was very good at checking in, sending pictures and updates with my guy. It seems that Joe’s house is the spot to be for the little fur babies; Zeus came home, greeted the kids and I and went right to sleep from exhaustion. You could tell he had been doing a lot of playing and running around while he was there. He had a lot of fun and I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit with Joe and his buddies.”

“Kayla is extremely talented and careful with cats amd did a great job caring for Fred! She is very reliable and that made me feel very comfortable to do my traveling.”
About: I've taken care of my cats since I was 10. When I typically pet sit my dogs, I will always watch my cats too. My roommate also has a cat who I adore and take care of when she's in class/home for the weekend.

She did a great job caring for my two cats, and I look forward to working with her again! She’s obviously an animal lover, and has lots of experience with animals.”
“Our dog Hank had a great drop in visit with Josh! He won’t stop asking when he’ll see his new friend again. Josh was great! His communication is stellar and he spent some good quality time with our boy.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for about 5 years for friends and family. I walk, feed, and administer medication. I also love to play with your pups! We will play a lot of fetch, go to the dog park, make crafts, and get lots of belly rubs. I have also had to handle seizures on several occasions. I currently work full time in downtown Delaware from 8:00-4:30, give or take the commute to and from your home. However, my weekends typically consist of hanging out and giving pups lots of play time. I love getting out for a walk or the dog park when it’s nice. If it’s not nice outside, I love to cuddle with your pup and a movie. When at other homes, I keep the same level of respect I would expect from someone staying in my home. I respect privacy of homeowners and I always leave the house clean. I also provide lots of photos and videos of your pets playing, lounging, and walking.
About: I grew up with a cat, so I’ve been around feline care from a young age, and I’ve continued spending time with friends’ cats over the years. Through that, I’ve gotten comfortable with different personalities, from affectionate cats who love attention to more independent or shy ones who need space. I understand the importance of respecting a cat’s boundaries and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I’m attentive to feeding routines, playtime, and keeping litter boxes clean and fresh. I also pay close attention to behavior so I can make sure your cat is comfortable and doing well while you’re away. I take the time to let cats warm up to me naturally and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for in their own home.
About: I have grown up around cats for my whole life, currently having three sweet babies at home. I’ve worked at a pet store for multiple years, and have a passion for pet care. If you ever have questions about nutrition I’m the one to call!
About: I have a cat of my own whom I adore, so I understand the special care and attention cats need. I’m experienced in feeding, playing with and providing a calm, loving environment to keep your feline friends comfortable and happy while you’re away.
About: Growing up with rescues and shelter dogs, ranging from 20-100lbs, I’ve always had a love for dogs. No matter what experience or pasts they have come from, I was always quick to form a bond with each pet my family and I have. Whether you are looking for someone to care for a senior dog needing a bit more patience and attention to medical needs, or an active and alert, playtime companion…you’ve found it with me! I have cared for family pets needing a special diet, set schedule and daily walks—to friends, coworkers and outside referrals for overnight stays or check in’s, and my favorite- walks! I believe that exercise is the best medicine and not to worry if your dog has certain triggers or lacks some leash manners. I can tailor walks to what your dog needs and enjoys. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I currently work in the office on a hybrid schedule 3x per week, so I have some flexibility during the week with times I can check in, and evenings are easy to schedule. My weekends are almost always available! In my home, I have a Pit/husky mix. However over the 8 years of being my own dog parent, I have hosted German shepards, Belgian malinois, hounds, and other pitbull mixes. I know how to administer medications and apply topical ointments if needed. I also understand if your pet(s) need certain accommodations or requests like avoiding other dogs on walks, and certain things he or she likes or doesn’t like.
About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reliable companion while you're away, I strive to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. I work from home so I can prioritize your pets needs around the clock. My schedule can work seamlessly with puppies or small dogs that need frequent bathroom breaks. At home, I care for my own dog like family. I have a Frenchie who I absolutely adore, and her daily routine includes regular walks, playtime, and visits to the park so she can stay active and social. She’s very friendly, gentle, and loves being around other dogs, so she’s a great example of the calm, positive environment I aim to provide for any pets in my care

About: I love animals! What else is there to say? All sizes, shapes, temperaments......I used to work at the Humane Society, have fostered dogs and cats and had many animals growing up - fish, hamsters, rabbits, cats and dogs... I have some training in animal intuition and energy healing and I love giving Love...I live alone and am looking at getting a dog in the future but I travel a lot. Also I live in an apt and I can take most any pets except ones who bark at all as I have neighbors on both sides and dogs I. A new environment tend to bark at the strange new things often, so if they bark at all, unfortunately I cannot take them. Looking forward to meeting your baby! My apt is pretty small (400sq ft on the first floor) but any animal guest is welcome to stay wherever they want to hang out - couch or comfy carpeted upstairs floor and since I’m 6’ ft tall - Great Danes welcome!

I can also crate them when at home or away, whatever is needed and they are used to.
“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”

About: Hi! You can call me Rose (: I’m that person who lights up whenever a dog walks into a room. More than likely, I will pet or talk to your dog before I start a conversation with you...I’ve always had dogs in my household growing up. I’ve volunteered at an animal rescue for 4 years which sparked my love for dogs. I have also fostered a few dogs during COVID. No matter the breed, size, age, color, I will spoil and love your dog to my fullest potential. I’m always trying to find new ways to entertain dogs wether it’s by walking, playing with a garden hose, zoomies in the backyard, whatever I can do to make sure your dog is having the time of their life while you’re away. I work from home so I am home all day during the week! I do run errands during the week but am only gone for an hour or so at a time. While I work from home, I will mainly be in my office space but will always be checking in on your doggo. I hope they would be comfortable enough to join me in my office while I work! I have a fully fenced in backyard and live in a quiet neighborhood for peaceful walks. If your dog requires or is more comfortable in a crate, I can comfortably fit one in my home as well.

About: I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, and both small and large farm animals my entire life, and I’ve been fortunate to work in the veterinary field as a veterinary technician/assistant for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I’ve gained extensive experience, including skills like inserting IVs, setting up fluid pumps, and administering subcutaneous, oral, and intramuscular medications in both hospital and home settings. I’ve assisted in numerous routine and emergency surgeries and procedures, providing care for animals with a wide variety of ailments. Some of the conditions include caring for diabetics, seizures, kidney disease, liver disease, URis, UTis, hyperthyroidism, ocular issues, skin issues/allergies, foreign body surgeries, fractures, ACL surgeries, obstructions, and poisonings. I love walking and caring for animals weather that mean playing with them or spoon feeding them back to health. Additionally I have also had the privilege of caring for a wide range of animals, from large and small farm animals to dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes—from energetic puppies to loving senior dogs. I've also cared for both senior cats and playful kittens, gaining valuable experience with each stage of life Please let me know what you need, and I will do everything I can to ensure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away.

About: Hi there! I’m Awia, and I’ve had around 25 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs and cats, and I currently have a sweet Pekingese named Peking along with two cats, Lolli and Ashley. They’re all friendly, gentle, and used to having new furry friends around. I’ve also volunteered walking dogs at various animal shelters over the years—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I also have six wonderful children who absolutely adore animals. They’re gentle, respectful, and regularly nominated for Kindness Awards at their school. Your pet will receive extra love, attention, and cuddle sessions from them—helping your furry family member feel right at home. I’m currently working on my nonprofit organization, and during my downtime I’ve chosen to walk dogs and care for animals. It’s such a fun and rewarding way to spend the day—you get to hang out with adorable pups, enjoy some exercise, and soak up the sunshine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pets. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m fortunate to live within a beautiful nature preserve and park system. This means your pup can enjoy walks along scenic, well-maintained paths with plenty of fresh air and minimal street traffic. If boarding, I’ll make sure your dog gets regular, safe walks and plenty of attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. All of my personal pets—Peking, Lolli, and Ashley—are up to date on vaccinations, and are on flea and heartworm prevention medication. For the safety and comfort of all animals, I kindly ask that visiting pets are also clean and flea-free. If a pet arrives needing a bath, I’m happy to provide one, and a pet bath fee will be added to your booking. This ensures a fresh, healthy, and pleasant environment for everyone.

“Marlyn was great, per usual! Had gotten some surprise buckeye football tickets and needed a spur of the moment dog sitter for the day. Only one person came to mind in this panic and that was Marlyn. She has watched our sweet Stella before and did such a great job. So much so she didn’t want to come home haha. Marlyn sent pictures and kept us posted the entirety of the day which always puts us at ease. 11/10 ✊🏽”
About: I've had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.
About: Had dogs in my life since I could remember! Love playing and caring for dogs of all ages and sizes! Have been dog walking/sitting for the past 5 years I am currently in college so time is limited but afternoons are mostly free. I am willing to be super flexible and can normally make time for anything! I can walk up to 3 dogs at time. I am able to maintain a safe and clean environment for dogs while house sitting/ dog sitting.
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. We used to have a golden retriever and I had a lot of responsibility for him. We now have several cats who are all very needy. I always make sure they are taken care of. Additionally, I love taking care of my brothers dogs, which are the dogs in the pictures above. I am currently working part time, so my schedule can change from week to week. If I am working I can take breaks and provide potty breaks. I will use all available resources to make sure your pet is as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am very good at understanding what they want/need by their actions.
About: I’ve been a proud dog and cat mom for more than 40 years. I spent three decades in the corporate world — often working long hours or traveling for business. Leaving my fur kids behind was always the hardest part, especially when it came to finding someone I could truly trust to love and care for them the way I would. That experience inspired me to offer pet care built on trust, compassion, and genuine love for animals. Knowing that you can head out for the day (or that much-needed vacation) with total peace of mind — that’s what makes this work so rewarding. I grew up in southwestern Ohio, where I began pet sitting in my neighborhood at the age of 13. My lifelong love of animals has led me to volunteer with local humane societies and rescue groups, and I've also been a foster mom. Our most recent "foster fail" is Pippa, a sassy one-year-old ginger kitty. Our fur family also includes two tabby cats, Bo and Cledus, who we adopted as kittens four years ago), and two rowdy pups who are also rescues, Wally (age 12) and Milo (age 2), bothShih Tzu mixes. I'm retired from my corporate marketing career and work a part-time job a few days a week. That leaves plenty of time for drop-in visits or to take your fur baby on a walk. I'm in the neighborhood, which means I'm nearby when you need unexpected help. I'm happy to provide loving care when you can't be there. I have a senior dog who has some medical issues that require extra attention. I also have a young pup who demands lots of attention, including daily walks. I'm experienced in the full spectrum of dog care. My dogs are leash-trained and crate trained. I also have 3 cats, ranging from 1 to 4 years and have experience brushing, feeding, hairball treating, litter box cleaning and playing.
About: I have had big dogs at home my whole life! I am going to medical school in the fall and would love to make some extra money taking care of your furry friends! I have a bachelors degree, have experience raising puppies, and taking care of senior dogs! I have dog sat many times for friends and family. I am free most days after May 1st! I am available anytime of day for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting. I don’t have any limits on the time you’d like me to stay with your pet! I have a car and can easily drive within the Columbus area. I am very active and can lift/ carry/ walk dogs of any size! I am willing to walk or play as much as necessary meet your dog’s enrichment needs!

About: My 14yo Dachshund-mix has been in my family since her puppy years, and in her old age I wanted to maximize her health-span/quality of life.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young. I help all of my friends in the military when they go out of town and I know how much of a pain it can be to find someone trustworthy!

“Emily sent lots of pictures to let us know how Simba’s stay was going. He tends to be anxious when we are away. But he seemed to be quite relaxed and happy at Emily’s place.”
“What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much from all three of us. It’s such a relief to know that our girl was taken so great care of. It means so much”
“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!”
“12/10! She and her husband took in my zoo last minute, was super communicative and sensitive to any needs the had. My Newfie and English bully absolutely adores her golden and was even able to have a little birthday treat for her golden while there🤩 She is my go to now, 100%. Thanks for everything!”
“I would highly recommend LL Cool Dog! From the initial inquiry to the time we picked up our beagle, Sammy, Leslie and her family were stellar. Leslie takes her job seriously and is very professional. She asks the right questions and quickly eases your mind that your "baby" will be in good hands in your absence. The family dog, Shiloh, is a sweet dog with a great disposition. Our 8 year old got along splendidly with her as well. Awesome family, awesome yard, awesome care!”
“John, Shannon and their family took such good care of my pup while I was in vacation. They sent pictures and videos all throughout which was so nice. Crew was in such good hands. I could just tell how much fun he had while he was there. This family made it so much easier on me to leave my dog for a week and im so thankful to them and the love they showed my baby Crew.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“4th… maybe 5th visit (but who’s counting😅) and ember has absolutely loved visiting every time! Always has fun running around and spending time with her dogs, but also laying around and enjoying family time! Always love the updates Loni provides to make sure my pup is doing amazing - already have the next visit planned and I know ember is excited already!”
“She and her daughter took great care of our pup. He loved them and seems to have had a great time on vacation from his parents. They took him on lots of walks, played with his favorite toys and gave him lots of love. Thank you so much for being a wonderful sitter to Prince.”
“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!”
“Kelsey and her family took care of my dog for 3 weeks and I don’t think I could have found a more loving and perfect family to care for my dog. I got daily photo updates and after seeing the way they treated my dog like a part of the family I had ZERO worries. Best dog sitter in the Omaha area!”
“Looked like Raider had a great time with Kayleigh. Received pictures every day. Kaleigh is very accommodating and communication was great. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“Joe is amazing! He was very good at checking in, sending pictures and updates with my guy. It seems that Joe’s house is the spot to be for the little fur babies; Zeus came home, greeted the kids and I and went right to sleep from exhaustion. You could tell he had been doing a lot of playing and running around while he was there. He had a lot of fun and I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit with Joe and his buddies.”
“Mary was wonderful! She sent at least one update a day, usually more, and my high energy doodle had such a great time with her and her husband and their own dogs. He got lots and lots of exercise with regular walks and zoomies in their giant backyard. We’d love to use Mary again!”
“Kristine and her family were absolutely amazing watching our pup for the week! She sent great and frequent updates and pictures, and it was apparent that our dog was getting the best care. It was one thing we didn’t have to worry about at all while on vacay, as we knew our dog was in great hands! We 100% would highly recommend and use again!!”
“We have booked an overnight stay with Karl last year so we knew we wanted him to watch our bulldog while we went on vacation for about a week and a half. Lou can be a bit of a handful but Karl is knowledgeable, kind and patient so we had a worry free week+ knowing Lou was in great hands! Karl's comminution and picture updates eased my June knowing he was getting attention and not just locked up all day! We had a couple flight changes but Karl worked with us which was a huge weight lifted. If I could give more stars I would 😀”
“AMAZING dog sitter!!! Marlyn did an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE job with my dog who is high anxiety, high maintenance, gets stressed very easily, and has a very difficult time with humans. I was so grateful that despite my dog having a difficult temperament, she handled him expertly and I was able to have a worry free trip! She’s was extremely considerate and thorough with her care for him. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for my dog and will definitely be using her for all future sittings. She’s truly an expert dog sitter, book her asap, she’s the best!!!”
“Angela is very kind and my cat honestly didn’t seem to care that I came to get her, she was ready to just live with Angela! I’ll rebook on the next trip for sure.”
“Katelyn and Nicholas were both welcoming and a great host for our 11 month old golden retriever. We were provided frequent updates/pictures which was comforting because this was our first trip without our dog. We will return if we ever need their services again!”
“Ellen was an awesome sitter for Dublin! Lots of pics, videos and updates. She watched another dog while Dublin was staying with her and was very good about coordinating a meet and greet beforehand. Definitely recommend Ellen! 😊”
