“This was my first DogVacay experience and I am so impressed with Mary! I live 30 minutes away from Mary, but it was worth the drive. You can tell when you walk into her home that Mary and her husband are truly dog lovers and take good care of their/other's pets. She sent me picture nearly daily while we were away for 8 days which was so nice to just know how our dog was doing and to simply see him. She was very flexible with drop off and pickup. I even had to change our dates and she had no problem accommodating the change request. I intend to use Mary moving forward for all of my vacations as Wrigley was very happy to stay with her and was taken such good care of. Near or far from your home, Mary is worth the drive if you want your pet to be in a very loving home! ”
“It is so easy to leave Hondo with Rachel and her family. They care about him, play with him, and give him affection just like he was one of their own. He always has dog company, their four-footed family and often, like this stay, other friendly and playful guests. We know they're supervised and well tended. Hondo's always glad to see us when we pick him up, but I swear he moons over not being at Rachel's for a few days and is always happy to go back!”
“Our first experience using the Rover app and it went very well! This is the way to go for short or long term pet boarding. Great communication! Our dogs were well taken care of and had plenty of space to play. Highly recommend Destinee!”
“Brooke and her family are wonderful sitter. She is very responsive, let us know how is the dogs doing and send us pictures very day. Our dogs got tired from running around the yard and”
“Very nice and communicative! Rubal was very responsive and kept me updated with my pets care. She was very reassuring if a question or concern would arise, it was resolved in a timely manner and with care. Her family was also very kind. Would gladly book again!!”
“Christopher was great to work with! He was super sweet to my dog, spoke highly of him and followed all my care directions. He was highly communicative and very flexible! I appreciate his care! We have already booked our next boarding stay with him.”
“We were very nervous about leaving our 4 month old puppy for the first time and we were new to Rover. Brook made both Auggie and us feel very comfortable. Auggie instantly loved Brook and was happy to stay. Auggie had a terrific time with both Lucy and Baxter. Can't say enough good things about leaving him with Brook. We received pictures and videos which helped us feel he was safe and having a good time. I would definitely book with Brook again a thousand times better than any kennel!”
“Julie was wonderful! She was so good with our mini goldendoodle Molly. We got frequent updates and photos to show us that all was going well. It helped us to have a fun and relaxing trip to know that Molly was being taken care of so well by her. Her home and fenced yard are very nice, and she followed our directions well about Molly's care. She is very pleasant. We will contact her again for dogsitting. A+ job! Thanks, Julie!”
“We dropped our Bonz off on Thursday afternoon and they steadily send us pictures until we got home 3 days later. We messaged a few times to check on him and no response was usually accompanied with a photo. I think he enjoyed his stay. Thank you”
“We are so grateful for Joseph and his family for their care in watching our dog, Jack. On the day we were to drop Jack off to Joseph, Jack had an accident where she required veterinary care. Joseph was still willing to accept Jack and administer antibiotics and pain medication for a week while we were traveling. Joseph sent daily pictures and provided updates so we felt more at ease. Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”
“Everything was great. I appears that my dog Jake like it there. He got a lot of attention. It also appears that Sheila and her husband enjoyed having Jake at their house for six overnights. Sheila sent me a lot of pictures and kept me informed about how Jake was doing. Sheila said that she primarily takes small dogs, but that she will occasionally take a big dog like Jake (Lab), as long as the big dog is well behaved. I believe that Jake was well behaved at her house. I will have to check with Sheila to see if she will take him again in the future.”
“Great to work with and flexible. They sent updates and pictures everyday. Hopefully won't have to use Rover again, but if we do it'll be with Kari and Clint for sure”
“Levi stayed with Stacy during the holiday and Stacy made sure to give us frequent updates. Her son and her pup were also really welcoming to our pups. Stacy also was really accommodating of our drop-off and pick-up!”
“Our first time using Rover and Tosha completely put us at ease. Her affectionate nature had our Huckleberry acting like he was at home instead of visiting at her place. 10/10 would recommend!”
“This was our kitten’s first time staying away from home, and Shelby made it care-free and easy! She kept such a close eye on our kitten, even if the kitten didn’t necessarily want her too, haha! She made Willow feel so comfortable that by the end she was snuggling with Shelby! Looking forward to the next stay!”
“Can't recommend enough! My dog is a senior dog that needs some special medication and attention and Bowen has been so kind and sweet towards him and tend to his needs. ❤️”
“Bobbie, her mom and grand daughter were truly amazing!!! Pepper really enjoyed himself with their dog Joey. As an added bonus Bobbie gave Pepper a bath. I will surly use them again the next tie I travel to Indy!!!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shelbyville on Rover is $29.98 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 529 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shelbyville. 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.
100% of Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville 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 Shelbyville.
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 Shelbyville 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 IN 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.
