“Madison could not have been sweeter and sent me so many photos of my dog throughout her stay. She played ball with Ula, took her for many walks, and snuggled with her. She probably had more fun than she does at home! I will definitely use Madison again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Susan and her family love Penny like she’s their dog. When we pulled into the driveway, Penny couldn’t wait to get out of the car to see them again. There is no greater review than your dog joyfully going to their boarder! Susan sends the best pictures and videos to recap the day. Susan has always communicated quickly. She is our go to boarder for our girl.”
“Absolutely amazing! I loved the pictures and updates. Rocky was well taken care of, and the family is so sweet. They even sent home a Christmas present for him. Absolutely great, we will definitely book with them again!”
“Had a wonderful experience with boarding. Oakley came home so exhausted. Will definately use again. They were very communicative through entire boarding with rapid responses and treated my baby as one of their own.”
“Amy is a an amazing caretaker and pet lover! Her home is an awesome environment for my pup and anyone’s! She has several outdoor spaces. My dog loves to be in the sunshine and he can do that and get in the shade if he’s hot or be inside with her while she works at home. He’s been so loved in her care. Amy followed my follow up communication preference so perfectly. I had a very busy weekend so she sent me a couple updates and answered so quickly when I had time to reach out. Amy is the best and she is so affordable. Book her today! I will definitely be back.”
“I don’t have enough words to thank Gabriel and Sara for taking such great care of my puppy while we were away! They treated Calleri as their own and truly made him feel like part of their family. You could tell they cared about him and followed all of the instructions we gave them, especially regarding his feeding and nap times. They have great communication and sent us lots of pictures, videos and regular updates, which gave us peace of mind to enjoy our trip knowing that Calleri was in great hands. They were also very flexible with the drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated! Their puppy Charlie is the sweetest! He and my puppy got along so well! Charlie is such a friendly, playful and gentle dog and I was so happy that Calleri had a companion to play with all the time while we were away. I’ve tried a few different dog sitters in the Charlotte area before and I have to say that Gabriel and Sara ARE THE BEST! They truly went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend them and will be booking again!”
“Super friendly and great with Yoolee! We have used her on 2 overnight occasions with 1 being short notice and she has always been very accommodating and responsive. We highly recommend Katie.”
“Kendra was amazing with Xabi! In every picture he looked so happy and I never doubted that he was being well cared for. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Our 5 month old puppy, Beau, had a wonderful time staying with Brad, running around their spacious home, playing with their pups and toys, and snuggling up on the couch. I especially appreciated their understanding of that Beau’s house training is still a work in progress 🙄. We will joyfully return the next time we leave town!!”
“Nicole was great with my goldendoodle Kingston. She kept me updated from the time I left, and each day after. She sent me photos of him playing with her two dogs, and a German Shepard that was there one day on a play date. Kingston was well cared for, and judging from the photos he had a ball while there. He was able to run and play in Nicole's hugh backyard,and Kingston also had a dedicated room in her house to nap/sleep. Nicole is a fantasic sitter and I could tell that she loves dogs. I would definitely reommend her services if you need a dog sitter.”
“10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. Miley had the time of her life. She got some much deserved treats, got some exercise in, and was treated like part of the pack. Alayna was amazing. Thanks so much for caring for my pup❤️”
“They were great very professional and reasonable. They also send pictures and videos and respond back very fast. Had a great experience with them my dog didn’t want to come back home.”
“I’m a first time dog owner and I was so nervous leaving my new pup. But when I tell you Jharasen made me leaving my him such a great experience. From the moment I left him she started sending me updates, she kept me updated the whole time along with sending pictures, so that I could see him as well. She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and just a sweet and caring person I will be using her services again and again ☺️”
“Thank you Lindsy, my baby Millie had a wonderful time with you and your family. She came home happy and tired from playing and napping all day. I appreciate your accommodation and kindness, we will be booking again for sure, probably today!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with my dog Cody. She sent pictures and videos daily and messages letting me know how he was doing. Cody hasn’t done well in boarding environments. On the way home from Jennifer’s he was calm and content. He also became buddies with her dog Milo. I will certainly be taking Cody back to Jennifer!”
“Thank you so much Ashley. Once again you provided best care for our pita while we are out of town . We keep working with you again and again . Love from our family to you 🤗”

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Shelby can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 NC 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.
