“My 6 year old pitty mix stayed 7 days with Laura and Joe while I was away on vacation. I couldn’t have been more happy with the great loving care they provided for my dog. Laura sent frequent photos and updates daily to let me know my girl was enjoying her stay. Huge fenced yard to run and play ball. And lots of cuddles on the couch. I love that Laura only sits one pet family at a time. I highly recommend Laura and her husband Joe and will definitely contact her again when in need for a sitter for my girl.”
“Katie was the best!! She took such a good care of my energetic pup, you could see Maya was very happy at Katie’s. Katie kept me informed and sent me pictures and videos throughout Maya’s stay. I was kept at ease and I knew Maya was in good hands. I’d recommend Katie to everyone who needs excellent dog sitter services. You rock Katie!!! Thank you for everything and we will see you in near future :) Liz”
“This was the first time we ever left our dog with someone outside the family and Mary was like a God send! She is so nice and sweet and she really enjoys dogs. She took such great care of Phoebe and I could tell that she loved her! Kept me constantly updated and took her on a couple of walks a day including her providing not only pictures, but proof that Phoebe was relaxed and happy at her house. I would not hesitate to use Mary again for she feels like family to us and Phoebe!”
“Our first time using Rover was with Tory and we had a really nice experience! Tory was super nice and kept sending us pictures at least 3 times a day of na’vi. Our dog clearly enjoyed her time staying with Tory. We will definitely ask Tory again to take care of na’vi for any future event. We definitely recommend her!!!”

I will definitely go back to them again.”

“Samantha was very accommodating on last minute booking changes and was very responsive on any request I had. Naya love both the other friendly doggies and kids.”
“I tried to find a sitter last minute and Kshama responded to my message in time and schedule a meet and greet quickly. Kshama took care of Lexi very well and sent few pictures daily when we were away and missing her. I forgot providing dog bed and Kshama was kind to provide an extra bed that she has already. I think Lexi also had a good time playing with their puppy. I have no complaints and I will contact her in the future if I have to board Lexi”

Over 2 pet parents in Shelby have booked dog boarding
Shelby dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
Michelle took great care of our energetic boy, Henry. She went the extra mile by administering eye drops twice daily. She sent updates and pictures regularly.
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 ❤️
