“Laura and Joe were absolutely wonderful with our dog, Fozzie, while we were away on a 12-day trip to Ireland. Leaving your dog for that long is never easy, but they made it so much easier with thoughtful daily updates and plenty of pictures that gave us real peace of mind. It was obvious from every update that Fozzie was not only well cared for, but genuinely loved and happy. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, which says everything about the care and attention he received. We would wholeheartedly recommend Laura and Joe to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and communicative sitters. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!”
“Eunju was very caring for my senior dog Lemon and gave her TLC. She provided photos and updates and was understanding and accommodating. Lemon was in good spirits and very relaxed when we picked her up. I hope that Eunju will be available in the future to care for Lemon. Thank you, Eunju.”
“Cheri and her family were warm and welcoming of Vinnie! She gave plenty of pupdates during the stay. He was well taken care of with treats and toys and had a great time! I felt at ease while he was away knowing he was getting the best!”
“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.”
“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!”
“My dog loves to stay with Tory, and she provides updates on how my dog was doing everyday as well as many cute pictures! We highly recommended Tory as as she always does a great job! Thank you!!”
“Danielle and Steve (and Porthos) have become my dachshund Maverick’s best friends. They are excellent pet caregivers and they are accommodating and flexible in their availability. I highly recommend them.”
“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!”
“Sydney made our first vacation without our fur child a breeze! We felt completely relaxed and worry-free leaving our pup with her. She provided consistent text and photo updates and was very proactive with her care. Our pup absolutely loved her and was clearly very comfortable around her. We look forward to booking Sydney again!”
“Amanda was awesome! Our dog had a wonderful time! She sent updates and was available and responsive. He’s and energetic pup and he loved having a playmate and a fenced in yard to run around as well as daily walks. I would highly recommend her and we are planning on using her again in the future!”
“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.”
About: I love dogs all my life and experienced with daily feeding routines, leash walking, potty breaks, and basic supervision. I take dogs on 3–4 leashed walks per day and closely monitor their comfort, behavior, and safety. I am a full time staying home mom so I have plenty of times to take care of your dogs. I want to make a schedule at least 5 days earlier. Calm, clean house with a yard (not fenced). Dogs are always supervised and taken on 3–4 leashed walks daily. I accept small, medium dogs only and host one guest at a time, alongside my friendly Cavapoochon Taco.
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☺️❤️!
“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”
“Deena went above and beyond — making sure our dog Simba was comfortable, well-fed, and well taken care of! It meant the world to us to have Simba watched over while we enjoyed our hectic wedding without any stress. Thank you Deena ❤️”
“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 had a wonderful experience with the dog-sitting service! My dog was well cared for, loved, and treated with patience and kindness. I really appreciated the communication and updates while I was away, which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their furry family member!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shelby
Laura took wonderful care of our dog, Koda, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She is kind, loving, and truly cares about the animals she watches. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Koda was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter, and we will definitely book with her 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.
