“Samantha was incredibly kind to take care of Sasha on such short notice. She is trustworthy and reliable and treats Sasha as if she were part of her own family. We have never seen our girl so relaxed and happy in anyone else’s home before! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in Sam’ s care. We highly recommend Sam, and will be happy to return!”
About: I provide loving and reliable care for your pets. I can walk, feed, wash, and spend quality time with your dogs or cats as if they were my own. I’m available every day and very flexible with scheduling. I can adjust my time to fit your pet’s needs. Just text me anytime or when you need a help. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my home. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I always walk dogs on a leash in a quiet and safe area connected to a park.
About: We are parents to 3 boys (baby, 3, 5 - they all love dogs) and and our 9 year old lab/ hound, Macie. We have a nice sized fenced in yard and Macie would love some fur friends to run around with. We treat our dog like our child! Brad works from home half of the week so there is not too much alone time for the dogs. Macie is able to spend as much time as she like outside during the day (and coming in and out as she pleases). We have a large fenced in yard. Our dog loves to be with other dogs. We allow our dog to sit with us on the couch so she gets lots of pets and snuggles. We have both had dogs our entire lives and are plenty experienced in taking care of them! We hope we can help you out by providing a safe place for your dog to stay. Brad works from home half of the week so he is able to let the dogs in and out as they like throughout the day. However on “in office” days, the dogs would be free to roam the house while we are at work (typically 8am-5pm). We follow the schedules given to us by the owner and always treat our guest dogs as one of our own. Our kids love to play fetch with the dogs and run around with them outside.
About: I grew up around animals my whole life. My best friend had a farm growing up. 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! At the moment I just came home from overseas and I am here from the summer so I currently do not have a job although I am looking for a part-time one. However, until then my weeks are completely open so I am happy to help anytime of the day. I know animals (especially dogs) 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’ll make sure your fur baby is having too much fun to notice you’re gone;)
“Kshama was absolutely amazing! She gave me updates throughout the day to show how my puppy was doing. Great honest and very kind and loving person. My furbaby felt vet comfortable with her and her dogs. I would definitely recommend her. We will be booking more visits with Kshama.”
“Amanda has been awesome for my sweet doggy Shiloh! She’s so flexible with scheduling which I absolutely love, updates with pictures daily of your fur baby playing or enjoying a walk! My Shiloh girl is very energetic and comes home at the end of the day EXHAUSTED from playing all day which was never the case before day care. We’re thankful for Amanda!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Oaklynn! She had a great day!! I am so glad she made new friends and had all sorts of toys to play with. We will see you again soon!!”
About: If your special furry baby is comfortable with me being all up in their personal space, providing all the cuddles, smooches, scratches, and words of affirmation, then I’m your girl! My schedule is pretty open right now, I can be available most days, weekdays and weekends. Let’s figure out something that works for all of us! I will follow any instructions given to me by an owner and care for an animal with the upmost respect and adoration. I have a lovely neighborhood perfect for walks and a warm spot on my couch ready for a furry kaboose to plop down in.
“Linus had a wonderful time during his day visit! We got a picture update of him cooling down in a doggie pool and running around in the yard. Already booked our next visit!”
“Caitlin is so wonderful and sweet. Not to mention flexible and accommodating. Her home was a little further than I expected and she offered to come pick up my puppy if that made things easier. My puppy felt right at home with Gordie and they became friends immediately. Benji was in puppy heaven. Caitlin’s home really is a pup palace. She played games with my pup, took him on 2 walks, and updated me frequently with pictures. Highly recommend.”

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Shelby on Rover is $34.82 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Shelby commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 970 sitters in Shelby, 83% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
