“Rubal was amazing! She stayed in contact with us for the entire 5 days we were out of town and sent hundreds of photos and videos of our boys! We couldn’t trust anyone more with our precious pups and will absolutely use her again!”
“Great communication! They gave us an update and pictures every other day or so on how our pup was doing. Our dog seemed very comfortable staying with them. Happy customer!”
“Destinee watched our dog for a long weekend and did an amazing job! She sent daily updates and photos, and was so thoughtful in slowly introducing him to new dogs since we recently adopted him and weren’t sure how he’d do off leash. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for!”
“Our first visit of what we hope will be many! Our dogs enjoyed their visit. We can tell when we get home how our dogs behave and they are very happy and their normal loving selves. We are very happy to have found Sheila. She keeps a warm loving home, very clean and fresh, even with several doggies. Sheila and her husband give the visiting doggies love and attention. Can’t say enough about this wonderful woman.”
“We were gonna be gone for two weeks and needed someone to take care of our baby. At first, we were a little scared to leave her at somebody else's house, but my husband went to Brook's house and met her and her dogs first! That made us feel very good about the stay. While Vanilla was there, Brook sent us updates, pictures and videos. We feel great about her and we'll leave Vanilla again under her care. Thank you guys :)”
“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! ”
“We had Yvette watch over our Cavapoo Toby for the day while we were at the wedding at Indianapolis and she was amazing. She sents us updates and Toby come home happy, tired and relaxed.highly recommend and will be using her again if we visiting to Indiana.”
“Samantha was great! She sent me pictures and updates everyday without my having to ask. Her home was clean and her dog was friendly. I will definitely utilize her services again!!”
“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Keith was outstanding. I highly recommend him. He was able to watch Hank with kinda short notice. He was very prepared and made us feel at ease with leaving Hank with him. He gave us updates each of the first two days, complete with pictures. He then updated us every other day, which was perfect. Hank was in great shape when we picked him up and obviously had a great time with Keith. I would definitely board Hank with him again!”
“Zula had so much fun staying at Leta’s home and playing with her fur family. I received pictures and video every day with updates. It was as if Leta had known Zula for years. She was accurate in her interpretation of Zula’s fear of storms and watched over her carefully. Leta noticed Zulas love for water so she set up a pool in the yard for Zula to enjoy. I want to give a 5+ rating for the personal loving care the family gave our pup.”
“Harley was exhausted after his stay with Deborah & Jeffrey as he was probably playing non-stop! Deborah put my mind at ease that Harley was being loved on with frequent photo updates of Harley. This was my first time leaving Harley and using Rover and was a wonderful experience.”
“Great communication!!! Leo had a great time spending the weekend with Seygourney, Eric, and their dog James. I received lots of updates including photos and a video. Would definitely recommend!”
“Phyllis was so great with Diesel who is a blind husky, send photo to show how good he is doing. And we can tell Diesel was very happy at her place. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Lynna is an excellent dog sitter. She sent numerous pictures while sitting for my dog Bella. She even sent me a photo shot that she did with Bella. It was just adorable. She suggested a different treat for Bella that she enjoyed. I was very comfortable leaving my dog with Lynna.”
“Monica was very kind to take my last minute booking before meeting with us. She sent us reassuring messages and pics while we were gone. Her little dog Kimmie is very sweet too. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog with her and was sure she got lots of love and attention.”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shelbyville on Rover is $29.98 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
