“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!”
“Carolina was absolutely amazing with Dixie. From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing my dog would be in caring and capable hands. She sent regular updates, photos, and gave so much love and attention to my Dixie —it was clear she genuinely care about dogs. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dogs and a tidy space. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Carolina again!”
“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.”
“Tory is always so great with my dog!! She provides pictures each day and gives updates on how my dog has been doing! After this last stay my dog was sad to leave. He always enjoys going to stay with Tory! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Shivambika was very responsive when our dog was with her for three days. We received updates daily and our dog was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Luka had a great time with Sydney! She made sure to update us and let us know how he was doing regularly, which made us very comfortable knowing he was in good hands. He was very loved and cared for. I look forward to booking with her again!”
“Our fur baby Cooper, was very happy at Kshama’s home. We were pleased to see him playing and comfortable in the many pictures and videos. We would highly recommend this Rover home!”
“We were very nervous to leave our 7 month-old golden with a Rover for the first time but she was well taken care of and had lots of fun. Amanda sent a lot of pictures too which eased our minds!”
About: I grew up around animals my whole life. My friend had a farm growing up, and I loved to help out. I have always lived with dogs, bunnies, geckos, frogs, cats, you name it! I love pets and would treat yours no less then if they were my own:) Pets are family too! I am absolutely an animal lover and would love to take care of yours like they are my own. Since Bailey our dog, the last of our animals passed away two years ago I have been missing a furry friend in my life. At the moment I am training for the police academy and work part time at a gym that is close to my house. With that being said I have lots of free time; My weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day or evening. I know animals need lots of love, attention, and exercise. I love to take walks and always enjoy a furry companion. Fresh water is important, enough potty breaks and definitely make sure they have a full belly! I'II make sure your fur baby is having too much fun to notice you're gone :) Also, I apologize if it says I have a low response time! When I first used the app a few years ago I did not click “away” when I stopped using the app, instead I just deleted it. I promise I will answer ASAP! At the moment I am training for the police academy and work part time at a gym that is close to my house. I work at the gym Monday and Tuesday from 5pm until 11pm and have Volleyball on Friday from 6pm until 11pm. With that being said I have lots of free time; My weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day or evening. I live in a house that is on a dead end of a neighborhood which is very peaceful. There is a trail that is directly behind my house for easy walk access. My yard is unfenced but I will make sure to leash and supervise your pup if they are staying at my home! If your dog needs to be crated I ask that you please bring one as I do not have a crate of my own. There is no other animals in my home to worry about, I am willing to accommodate to any needs your dog may need.
“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 is the best! My dog Ellie absolutely loved her. She gave Ellie all the attention and care she needed, and we got picture/text updates everyday. She is so sweet and attentive. We will absolutely use her again for boarding our Ellie. Cannot recommend Deena enough!”
“Orawan is fantastic! This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I came across her profile. She kept me updated daily with pictures of my little fur baby, and took excellent care of her! I will definitely contact Orawan again! Thank you!”
“Noom and Lawerence were great hosts and Wrigley had a great time. They were very supportive and accommodating and more than happy to give Wrigley her daily eye drops. They also had a great space for Wrigley to run and play with their dog Leo. I’m certain Wrigley would be happy to go back.”
“Kristen was wonderful with our girl Annie. This was our 1st time using Rover and boarding her in a private home. She was so much more rested and less stressed than the previous kennel we had used. Kristen kept us informed with pictures and updates. We will definitely book with her again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Shelby is $45
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.
Kaitlin was so great with Ollie. She sent me plenty of great pictures during his stay and many of them looked as though Ollie had a huge smile on his face. When my business trip was extended she was not able to watch him during that extended time but helped me out a great deal by packing his items and bringing him to another place to stay. I will surely have her watch Ollie again when needed. Thank you again Kaitlin, you are awesome!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shelby on Rover is $39.98 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,328 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.
96% 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.
