Excellent experience! Both of my dogs were well taken care of, and my 1-year-old came back calmer around other dogs after all of the playing and socializing. Highly recommended, and I certainly will book with Tiffany for my next trip.

Well where to start, we haven't left our dog since we got him 5 years ago. We were never comfortable leaving him in a kennel when he's never been in a cage. When I took Willy over for the meet and greet he took to her right away, which never happens. While we were gone she kept me updated wonderfully, I even got pictures! All in all if I could give her thirty stars I would. I'm so glad we found her now we can go away and have no worries. I cannot thank her enough. Highly highly recommend her:)

Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and pets for over 20 years and truly love animals of all kinds. I’m dependable, attentive, and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, medication routines, senior pets, and giving lots of affection. I’ll treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel at ease while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week with advance notice, and I’ll do my best to accommodate last-minute needs when possible. Your pet won’t feel rushed or overlooked in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions carefully. I provide a calm, loving environment with close supervision, plenty of attention, and regular potty breaks or walks. I’m happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy.

About: I’ve taken care of and loved dogs since I was 13. My family had an Australian Blue Heeler, Irish Wolfhound, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and Boxers. I currently have two Bernese Mountain Dogs who are the loves of my life! I have experience with dogs as small as Chihuahuas and large as my Berners. I spend a lot of time playing, training, and walking/hiking with the dogs I care for. I like to keep them engaged! I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me the ability to care for and play with my own dogs and your dogs. Dogs have improved my life immensely, and I try to repay the unconditional love by providing them with an awesome day, every day. I have a fenced in yard and two animal loving Bernese Mountain Dogs to keep your family happy and engaged. Juli is 4 years old and incredibly gentle with all living things. Cooper is 9 months old and definitely a big puppy. I also have room dividers/doggy gates if your pup needs space or time alone. We love going on walks and taking hikes in the surrounding parks, but I’m also intentional about taking time to calm down and relax (when needed)! I understand the importance of limiting exercise for puppies, especially growing large breed dogs, as well as making sure temperaments and play styles match with playmates!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets—dogs, cats, and small animals. From daily walks and feedings to administering medications and providing comfort, I’ve built trust with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn their routine, understand their behavior, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected. With school starting in August I will be available Thursday and any weekend. I will also be able to work with you during the weekday! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible—feeding them on schedule, giving plenty of love and attention, keeping their space clean, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I respect their environment and follow any specific instructions closely. While I don’t currently have a dog in my own home, that allows me to give your pet my full attention without distractions. My dog currently passed so we have an electric fence but that’s it! If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a clean, calm, pet-friendly space with lots of one-on-one care, playtime, and love. I’m all about making them feel at home—whether it’s their place or mine.

About: I was raised around all kinds of animals. I respect the fact that they have their own boundaries and tolerance towards certain things. I love helping animals over come fears and building relationships with them. I own 2 dogs and 4 cats. Animal care is second nature to me. I enjoy all of their personalities and mannerisms. To me, life isn’t complete without a dog or cat by your side. My yard is not fenced in, but I have tie downs both in my front and backyard. I have 2 very friendly dogs to keep your fur baby entertained. If you have a cat, don’t worry we have a safe place set up in our home just for them.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Shelby

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shelby on Rover is $33.3 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 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 July 2026, there are 62 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shelby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter 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.

Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 OH 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.
