“I was very comfortable leaving Pringles with Alyson for the week. She made us feel welcome immediately. I received pictures and updates throughout my trip which eased my mind and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I would definitely recommend Alyson to anyone and will be calling on her again when we go out of town.”
“Carola is a wonderful pet sitter & always takes great care of our Susie! Susie is very fond of Carola & Carola keeps me posted with pics & texts. We wouldn’t consider using any other sitter 😊”
“Amanda did a wonderful job! Very friendly. Took great care of our two dogs. And provided an update every day we were gone, sometimes including photos. Will definitely use her again.”
“Honestly we couldnt pick anyone better! She is so kind and understanding. Did amazing with my 2 pups! We absolutely are using Kourtney everytime we need dog care in the future. Seeing the antics they got into with her was so fun! Cannot recommend her enough.”
“I am so glad I contacted Melissa to take care of my babies. I needed someone to take care of my two pups for a couple of days and Melissa responded right away to my message. I had an emergency and I had to find a dog sitter at the last minute. One problem I had was that I have a pup that doesn’t get along with any other dog except his sibling. She made it possible to work around my trouble dog and have him stay with her. I was afraid I wasn’t going to find someone to take care of them. Even though I didn’t get to meet her in person I had trust in her to take care of my babies. She sent me pictures and videos of my pups :)! Plus, Melissa had a pug of her own which made it pretty amaze for my pug to play with another pug!!!”
“We are so happy we found Fran! Fran was wonderful with our pup Lupine. She took her walking, on play dates, and let her snuggle with her. Staying with Fran was like a puppy vacation for our girl. I highly recommend Fran!”
“She was GREAT!!! This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with anyone other than family and was nervous, but she was awesome about keeping us updated and letting us know how she was doing. Will definitely recommend Molly and will book with her again”
About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes! I grew up surrounded by dogs and spent much of my childhood helping my grandmother on her farm, caring for horses, goats, llamas, and plenty of other animals along the way. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have two very loved cats of my own! I’m currently in graduate school for speech-language pathology, and my husband, Tim, and I would love to help care for your furry family members! We offer pet sitting in your home, drop-in visits, and boarding in ours. While my schedule varies with classes and clinical placements on some weekdays, Tim works from home and can help provide plenty of company, attention, and care for pets staying with us. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their individual personality and routine. I’ll also gladly send pictures and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends! I’m currently a graduate student studying speech-language pathology, so my daytimes are usually booked Tuesday through Thursday but am otherwise available! Fortunately as well, my husband, Tim, works from home, which gives us plenty of flexibility when caring for pets staying with us! Between the two of us, we’re able to provide lots of companionship, attention, and opportunities for walks, playtime, and relaxation throughout the day. I’m also available for drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting around my school schedule, including evenings and weekends when available. I’m happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure your pet’s needs and routine fit comfortably into our schedule. Our goal is to make every pet feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away! My husband and I live in a cozy three-bedroom home surrounded by beautiful woods and plenty of space to explore! Our home offers a peaceful, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of love and attention. We have two cats of our own, so we ask that pets staying with us be comfortable around cats. Although our property isn’t fenced, we have lots of lovely wooded areas nearby for supervised, leashed walks and outdoor adventures! Safety is always a priority, and pets will never be allowed to roam freely outdoors. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and do my best to maintain their familiar routines so they feel comfortable and secure. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone else, and I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 16 years. I have two beautiful girls with lots of energy and personality, we roof walks! And doggy parks I currently own a business and have the flexibility with my schedule to watch or walk your pup during the weekend. I like to walk and keep the pup exercising throughout the day. I unfortunately do not have a fenced yard, but I can walk your pup many times around the yard and be sure they get the well deserved attention.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Shady Valley is $61 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $61 and $61 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 of November 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shady Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
99% of sitters in Shady Valley can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shady Valley home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Shady Valley.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Shady Valley sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
