“Every cell of concern and worry about leaving my dog for the first time for a few days with A C. was immediately removed with their kindness, concern, attention to details and constant pictures, communications and videos during his time with them. He arrived home well exercised, calm and cared for! I recommend them highly and will use them many times! again!”
“Lindsay is the BEST!! She takes care and enjoys our pup like she’s her own!! Love dropping her off, she’s hesitant to leave and exhausted when we get home! 💕”
“Britnie is amazing. She’s very communicative and helpful, sending us loads of pictures every day. My dog is always very happy with her, and so are we!”
About: We’re a husband-and-wife team based in Rochester Hills, and we’d be so happy to care for your pup! We’re currently share our home with our own sweet, friendly Cavapoo, Rio. We truly enjoy welcoming furry friends into our home like they’re part of our family! Whether your dog is playful, laid-back, or needs a little extra TLC, we work together to make sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. One of the best parts about working as a team is that your pup will get round-the-clock attention. We both have flexible schedules, and I work from home, which means your dog will enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and snuggles throughout the day. We can provide consistent companionship and meet your dog’s needs, no matter their routine. We live in a quiet Rochester Hills neighborhood. Our home is calm, clean, and dog-friendly, with a large enclosed yard, where your pup is welcome to make themselves comfortable. We’re happy to follow your pet’s routine and provide updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Christina cared for our Winnie in her home while we were on vacation for 12 days. This was for the first time we had ever left her for that long. Christina did a great job with helping me feel comfortable leaving her in her care. She sent photos and messages almost daily, and I could see that she was having a good time. Winnie was well cared for and Christina treated her as her own. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“I am very thankful for Tanuja for taking my Lucy on a last minute request to board. She was so flexible and very accomodating and it was a very pleasant dealing with her. On the day of boarding she will give constant updates, she will send plenty of pictures (great pics of Lucy together with their cute dog Mochi). Her husband Kumar helps her out with the doggies and they treat your dog like their own. They are not only great dog sitters but also really nice persons. I will definitely have them take care of my Lucy if the need arises . I would highly recommend Tanuja and Kumar (plus Mochi) to take care of your fur baby.”
“Marielle did a great job with our dog. She even made an effort to make his food tastier since he was nervous at first and not eating much. Her care and concern were appreciated. Communication was very good too.”
“Very warm and caring sitter. She messaged me with picture, video's and text updates throughout her time with him. That made my family feel even more comfortable with leaving our Leo. Highly recommend!”
“Jon & Deanna are sent from heaven. Our Lily stayed with them for 10 days . Lily was well taken care of. They sent me regular updates and media to keep me posted. Lily was allowed in their bed and all furniture. We will be back again soon :) Thank you Jon&Deanna ❤️”
“Steven was very helpful and attentive! He always kept me updated on drop off and pick up times for my Lilo girl. She had so much fun playing with the other dogs.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!! :)”
“I cannot express in words how incredible of an experience we had with Brittany. Our original sitter fell through very last minute and Brittany was more than willing to accommodate a two week stay for our pup. Not only is her home environment perfect for a dog; lots of physical activity, snuggles, love, low stress, daily obedience training, etc., but it is also the expertise and confidence Brittany provides that makes for an ideal situation. She knows temperaments of breeds through her years of training and uses her knowledge to create a controlled, safe and fun experience. The daily pictures and updates gave us a worry-free vacation and we absolutely loved seeing the fun our guy was having. The pick up/drop off option is also a game-changing bonus! Seeing Brittany get a little teary-eyed saying goodbye to Clarence was complete confirmation of the genuine love she has for dogs. Clarence now has a beautiful second family for when we are gone, and we are forever grateful!”
“10/10 stars!! I would absolutely try boarding/cat sitting with Hali in the future. I was considerably nervous as it was the first time my cat would ever spend a night away from me. Hali made sure to keep me updated with plenty of pictures and videos of Wednesday during her stay! My cat is an anxious girl, so I appreciated the effort and patience Hali had with her. Hali was also very considerate about the fact that my cat gets anxious around dogs, and thankfully was able to provide Wednesday with a space of her own! Overall, I’m very happy with the quality of care Wednesday received and would definitely recommend booking with Hali.”
“Always such a pleasure to work with Casey and Jonah. Both provide quick responses, keep me updated on how my pup is doing, and clearly love taking care of dogs. I rest assured knowing my pup is in safe hands.”
“Iris and Tomas were very friendly and provided prompt communication. They took great care of my 14 week maltipoo puppy. Based on the pictures I received our puppy had a great time! Would definitely book again!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Shelby is $45

Laura was absolutely wonderful with my 3‑year‑old Lab, Maya. This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous, but Laura put me at ease right away. She took such good care of Maya and truly treated her like one of her own. She was organized, communicative, and always quick to respond. Maya came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well‑loved. Laura was outstanding! I’ll definitely be booking 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Shelby on Rover is $39.98 per night (as of June 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 1,330 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shelby. About 91% 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.
