“Lindsay is a wonderful, knowledgeable and loving caregiver! We were nervous to try something new when our normal kennel was full, but she is a true animal lover and did an excellent job with our Cavalier King Charles sending updates and even photos! She was completely unfazed when I warned her that he might try to jump on her bed at night, and she kept the larger dogs separated from him until they got acquainted. Lindsay went above and beyond what we expected, and really has a gift. She instructed us on the proper way to remove mats upon our return, and has loads of experience with dogs of all kinds. We highly recommend her pet watching service and would definitely use her again!!”
About: I have cared for my grand dogs and friends’ dogs for years. Our whole family will shower your dog with love and attention! We love to send pictures of the dogs having fun or napping on the couch! I am a stay at home, home-schooling mom who has lots of time in our home to care for your dog. We are home most of the time available to give your dog all the attention they need. I have a fenced in yard. My kids love to make friends with dogs that we have watched. We have a large dog crate available if your dog is crate trained. We take their care very seriously and follow owners requests and directions.
“I’m truly grateful to Mou and Yanling’s family for taking such good care of Max while I was away for two weeks. They were so patient and understanding with him. It’s always been hard for me to find someone reliable to look after Max — he’s still playful, a little stubborn, and can get anxious at times — but they handled him with so much care and kindness. Highly recommended, and I’m so thankful for them! 💛🐶”
“Always a perfect stay for our older lab. Kristen is incredibly attentive and communicative which is why we continue to come back to her at a every opportunity we can. Thanks, Kristen!”
“Britnie and her fiancé boarded our two dogs two times in a month for a week each time. After the first stay, there was no question Dixie and Yoshi would be staying with them again. Britnie sent an update with tons of pictures every day and I know our pups got the love and attention they needed. I didn’t feel I had to worry at all about them while enjoying vacation. I would highly recommend Britnie’s services and will definitely plan on using her again in the future.”
“Janelle was wonderful. She took great care of our dog and kept us posted on how things were going. Would recommend her for anyone looking for an awesome and thoughtful sitter!”
“We felt so confident that Georgie was having a wonderful time with Amy and her family and had a great time playing with Woody. It helps us feel better about going on vacation knowing he is well taken care of. Thank you so much Amy❤️”
“Deb was amazing!! She took great care of my puppy Ryder. She made sure she knew Ryder’s needs and his schedule. She kept me updated and sent pictures too😊 I would recommend Deb to anyone- it is clear she is a dog lover!! :)”
About: Hi! I’m 30 years old and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up in a house full of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—my mom always had rescues and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels. Today, I have my own adopted 16 lb mixed-breed dog, and caring for him has only deepened my love and experience with dogs. I’m confident handling puppies and energetic dogs, and I truly enjoy walks, playtime, and giving them attention and care. For safety reasons, I prefer not to work with dogs that are overly aggressive or difficult to manage. My experience is focused entirely on dogs, so I’m not the best fit for cats or other types of pets. I’m available to foster small dogs in my apartment. I work from home and I’m able to walk him/her 3/4 times a day. I’m also available for drop-in visits between 6 AM–8 AM and anytime after 5 PM. I live in an apartment with a fenced area, which is great for safe outdoor time. I’m also happy to take your dog on walks outside around the neighborhood. I can feed, play with, and walk your dog, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.
“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!”
“We would definitely recommend Steven for his pet sitting services. He watched our two kittens for a week that needed a little extra care. He sent pictures and videos frequently so we wouldn’t miss the babies too much. Steven has a lot of knowledge and experience with animals and we would absolutely book with him again. Thank you!”
“Sogol was nice, kind, thoughtful helpful, caring.... I could go on and on. She not only took great care of O.C., she sent pictures regularly and informative updates almost hourly! "Thank you" is not enough. Sogol is wonderful.”
“What an amazing host family! Tanuja took all the appropriate steps to make me and spice feel welcome and comfortable with this being a first time host. We had a meet and greet so both dogs could get comfortable with each other and after that moved towards hosting. She kept me well informed and was very thorough with making sure she had everything to care for spice. I would definitely book again with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone who asked.”
“Christina kindly took Wilson in on very short notice, which I really appreciated. She has a beautiful home and yard, and Wilson was so excited to meet her dog and another pup she was caring for. I’m grateful she was available and that Wilson had a chance to play and socialize in such a welcoming environment.”
“I’m always worried for my almost 18yr old dog when it’s time to board her somewhere. Her sight and legs are weak. She doesn’t eat well when she’s not home so I want her to feel comfortable where she’s at. Vinata and family were so accommodating to her needs that she seemed so comfortable and relaxed in all the pictures and video. They were so caring and observant to her, they found a way for her to eat and fulfill her needs. So glad bobo was well taken care of.”
“Samantha & Zach are amazing. They’re are amazing with their communication about your furry friend. My dog Titus always gets excited going there would definitely recommend their services.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Shelby is $45

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!
Hailey was just amazing. It was so obvious she loves dogs and knows how to approach them and make them comfortable. I was so nervous about leaving Gretel for a week as I've never had to and was worried about if she would eat and be okay. Hailey made me so sure that Gretel was in good hands with her updates and photos and the way she would ask questions about Gretel's little quirks. Every picture I got revealed a more comfortable and happy dog. Gretel went from sitting alone on the floor to snuggling in bed and giving many kisses and being her bossy self. Thank you, Hailey, for taking such wonderful care of my baby and treating her as if she were your own. I know who I can trust with pet sitting, and Gretel has a new safe place now.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Shelby on Rover is $38.85 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 Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 1,360 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shelby. About 93% of Shelby sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
