Thanks again for everything!!”

Also Wilson got along so well with her dog Zeus and the other dogs that stopped by. We will absolutely use Kshama again.”

You can rest assured your dog will receive the same love, attention, and proper care/treatment. I'm a teacher currently not working in the summer...so I can help out anytime you need it. Once the school year starts, my hours will change, but for now, I'm here to help! I have a big, fenced backyard. I have crates available if needed. You can trust that your dog's safety and positive environment will be my top priority.

Over 2 pet parents in Shelby have booked dog boarding
Shelby dog parents share their Rover experiences
Laura and Joe took care of our two older dogs for a week while we drove a couple of hours to have a vacation. We knew from our visit with them that Laura would be caring and attentive, but she really did go above and beyond! We received multiple updates and photos and videos daily. Even more impressive was how well Laura handled a behavioral problem that arose with one of our dogs. I had forgotten that he once had this problem with us -six years ago when we got him - and when it popped up again, Laura dealt with it so well! She even purchased something that we thought would help, after messaging with me about the issue. Laura’s care and confidence saved our vacation, when a less experienced sitter might have asked us to return and pick up our dog. The problem resolved and our dogs had a wonderful stay with Laura and Joe. We have always used a kennel in the past. It is a small one and the dogs are out playing much of the day. Last time, things did not go well there for our 13 year-old dog. We tried Rover to find someone who would provide both a safe setting and special care for our dogs. We got this with Laura, for sure!
Michelle was very attentive to my dog Luna's needs. She kept in touch with us and sent daily updates and photos. Luna enjoyed her time there. Michelle played ball with her every day. She handled her daily medications with no issues. I would definitely book again with her.
Very easy and great communication. Sent picture of my dog Dexter having fun periodically over the 1 week stay!
Katie was great. She was wonderful with Murphy and Ellie and was flexible with me picking up the dogs. Would definitely book with Katie again.
Rachel took great care of our golden retriever Sasha! She helped us out even if our request was last minute. Sasha had a good time and got a lot of attention during her stay. Rachel sent us great pictures keeping us updated on how Sasha’s day was going. We recommend Rachel to anyone who is in search of a good and attentive dog sitter.
This was the second time Lindsey watched our pets and once again, we appreciate everything she did so much. She made it a breeze for us to be out of town and treated our pets and home as her own. We will absolutely be hoping to book with her again next time we are in need of a sitter!
My 2 dogs had another great stay with Brad and his family! They got lots of play time and I received daily updates with pictures 🙂 Brad was able to care for my dog’s medication needs. He was flexible with pick up and drop off times and made communication very easy! Highly recommend for anyone looking to have their pets cared for in a family setting ❤️
