“Cheri and her family were wonderful watching my dog Axel for us when we were gone on vacation for a week! She sent pictures every day and was lovely to communicate with! I will definitely have her watch him again! Highly recommend!”
“Katie was incredible. She showed Rue an immense amount of love, provided lots of updates, and has an excellent environment to allow Rue to relax and enjoy her time away. I couldn't recommend her more!! She's the best.”
“Laura was amazing! I was in town for a wedding and she was able to watch my pup so I could be more actively involved in the festivities. She sent so many photos and updates. I never once questioned whether my pup was safe or having fun. He received so much love and attention, and I will be sure to rebook with her the next time we are in town! Wholeheartedly recommend.”
“Thank Eunju, the 📸 and the consistency to care for my fur babies is very comforting. Eunju will greet you and help out immediately upon arrival. My dogs enjoyed their stay once again.❤️”
“We left our dog two times with Tory and her family already and we will contact them again in the future. Prompt communication, always keep you updated. They took good care of my dog. He always comes back exhausted, which is good.”
“Carolina was absolutely fantastic! Hazel loved her time there. She was happy and tired (in a great way) when we picked her up. Carolina had excellent communication and took Hazel for a nice walk in the neighborhood, her favorite thing to do. Am definitely using Carolina again!”
“Dawn took fantastic care of my baby! She came home beautifully tired out from playing with Dawn's own fur babies. Dawn provided informative daily updates that kept my mind completely at ease. I highly recommend her!”
“Joshua watched Stella for 4 nights. He took wonderful care of her. We had a great experience. He sent daily updates and gave us such peace of mind during my daughter’s wedding week. Reliable, communicative and trust worthy, I truly appreciate all his help and would highly recommend him.”
“Thank you Jungmin, my family had a truly comfortable trip with your support. You kept us updated with photos from time to time, so we were able to travel without any worries. And it seems like Seoul also enjoyed staying with your dog, Taco. Thank you again!”
“Lindsay was wonderful with Kermit! She went out of her way to make our cat feel safe, even setting up a covered box she could hide in. She sent us pictures and updates every night and was prompt at communication. She is a very sweet woman and we would absolutely book her again.”
“Deena is a great care taker and did a marvelous job with my Morgan. She asked great questions and clearly connected with her and was good about providing updates and pictures.”
“Danielle and her family were so great with my high energy, high anxiety border collie. She was super communicative in advance and was flexible with my crazy travel hours. When we got to their house to drop Callie off, she immediately took off into their huge, fenced in backyard, and I knew she’d have a great time there. Not only did Danielle and her family play with Callie, but even the neighborhood kiddos came to throw frisbees for her. I know she’d love to go back, and I’m happy to recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a fun time for their pup!”
“Never had a better,safer , experience in my life with a service! I’m so grateful that Amanda allowed me the peace of mind to travel and take care of a difficult business transaction. She even figured out a better way to use my current dog foods to my pups’ satisfaction. Her family and children only provided a better experience for my dogs. Very highly recommended!”
About: I have a long long history with dogs. I have had pitbulls all my life and I will forever hold a place for them in my heart! I love all dogs truly. I am open to cats if they are friendly 😅! I do work a 9am-4pm work shift and don’t get home usually until 4:45pm. I am open to drop ins and anything else that helps your travel time truly! I can do frequent walks as soon as I wake up, before I leave for work and any time after I am home from work. Weekends I am usually freed up with a lot of time so I don’t mind walks or anything needed for your pet☺️. I live in an apartment so frequent walks is something i’m completely okay with. I would say if you have pets that don’t work well with prolonged times not using the bathroom I wouldn’t be a great fit just do to my day to day work schedule. Weekends are completely free! I’m comfortable giving medicine on a schedule, long walks or baths or anything your pet may need so you can be worry free! I do have a son that has been around big and small dogs and i’m comfortable training or correcting if needed! Just know any dog or cat is in great hands with me☺️❤️!
“Kayla kept our dog Dior while I took my daughter to school. The ease of drop off and pickup made a somewhat stressful time of my life, so much more easier. She communicated with us the entire 4 days. Even when a snag came and I needed Dior to stay a tad bit longer, she was totally onboard and made it happen. I also want to thank her daughter for being attentive to Diors needs as well. While my daughter is away at school, I will DEFINITELY reach out to them for additional services. I would recommend you giving this lovely family a shot!!!! Again, I appreciate you all!!!”
“Brittany was absolutely wonderful with my dog. She would send pictures and updates during the course of the day. Her family and pets made him feel like he was a part of the family.”
“Roxy did a wonderful job with Bella. She and her family helped reinforce what Bella had learned at school. It was like Bella was away at a doggy resort with much love, fun and support!”
“I’m not from here so I was very nervous when it came to Rover. I am so glad I decided to use Judith and her family. The communication was phenomenal. I truly appreciated the updates, pictures, and videos. Preacher had such an amazing time and I’ll only use her family from now on on Rover”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shelby
Big beautiful yard, a great house for pets, and Noor & Lawrence communicated so well/quickly! Not much more you could ask for if you need someone to board your dog. My dog seemed comfortable right away and even though she was only boarded one night I received some fun photo updates!
We felt very comfortable leaving Mickey with Laura and her husband. They’re both very caring and you can tell they genuinely love dogs. Laura sent us photos and updates every couple of hours, which we really appreciated, and Mickey looked like he was having so much fun! Their dog Finley is also adorable. 🥰 We’d definitely be happy to leave Mickey with them again!
Kathryn did an amazing job watching my dog! She was a great communicator throughout the entire process and was very attentive to the needs of my pet. I will definitely be going with her for dog sitting in the future and would strongly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shelby on Rover is $38 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,290 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shelby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Shelby sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Shelby landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shelby 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 Shelby.
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 Shelby 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 MI 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.
