“Susan and her family were great with Raven. Her girls played games with her and they all gave her a lot of love😍Susan sent lots of pictures and videos also. I would definitely use her again!”
“Brittany is EXACTLY what my senior dog needed. She met all his needs plus some and understood all his quirks. Even gave him a bath with a bonus bandana before pickup ?. She was able to feed him medicine and carry him up/down stairs. Very accomadable to providing him comfort with his multiple beds, blankets and pillows. Her family and children reacted well and she sent plenty of updates, pictures and videos to make me feel at ease. I have full confidence that any pet will feel welcome in her cozy log cabin home sitting on a couple acres with plenty of grass area for them to run and play. Brittany was able to provide constant supervision for my dementia boy who panics when alone. He had no anxiety while with her and didn't even care that I left, he felt right at home with Brittany. So glad she was available and local to home, it was a yuge relief!!”
“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.”
“Couldn't be happier with the care our dog received. They kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. They treated him like one of their own, and we came home to a relaxed, happy pup. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can completely trust. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with them again!”
“I HIGHLY recommend! Ron was so awesome. He's got a great big back yard that our dog loved. He was super responsive to both my fiancé and myself while we were gone. He sent pictures and our dog looked like he was having a blast. We won't be going with anybody else from now on! Thanks Ron, we appreciate you - Jeff”
“It was great having her as my sitter. She really was an awesome great help for me in the spare moment of an emergency care for my dog. I would consider her to everyone pet owner I know. She sent me pictures show how much fun Rocco was having and happy he was. Nicole is amazing. My dog just fell in love with her and wanted to go back. Thanks Nicole. I will be reaching out again soon some time.”
“Deborah was great! My puppy had so much fun with her other dogs and she already had a kennel and dog bowls we were able to use. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kendra was great with my girl! Nova who is always nervous at first adjusted quite quickly and Kendra was great about keeping me updated on how she was doing. I would definitely book with Kendra again - thank you for giving me peace of mind!”
“Carrie took great care of our pit bull Sox in her home while we were out of town for a couple days! She sent daily updates with pictures and videos to assure us he was doing well. Her whole family gave him much love and treated him like their own. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Our experience with Katie was great! She was very fast to reply to the booking request and texts, and she took great care of our dog Lily. We were visiting the area from out of town and couldn’t be more pleased!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“We had such a great experience! She took amazing care of both of our dogs and treated them like they were her own. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well loved. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“Annie was amazing! I have a reactive dog and she was more than willing to accommodate her, she knew exactly what to do to make her feel comfortable. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”
“Ashley was great! Chang looked like he was having a great time in his pictures that she sent to me. I’m very appreciative of her being comfortable with Chang being old and having several issues. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Sarah and Erik were wonderful! Our lab Smoky stayed with them for several days and no doubt had a great time. They have a very safe and welcoming space and a great yard for larger dogs who love to play, and their sweet pup Rosie is just the icing on the cake! Would definitely recommend 😊”
“This is my first time booking through Rover, and it has been an amazing experience. Elizabeth is very lovely to the dogs, friendly and loves her job very much. Her and her family showed so much love to my fury baby. She is perfectly!. I will definitely book Elizabeth again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shelby on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 551 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.
95% 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 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.
