“Wonderful as always! Brooke & Family are incredible at dog boarding. My little Ginger always has the best time while staying with them. I already have my next booking with them scheduled!”
“Christopher was great with our elderly dog! Bucco was asleep on the couch when I came to pick him up. Our dog looked up, though happy to see me, seemed to be telling me, "Really? I have to get up? But I'm comfortable. " Christopher sent pictures every day. That was much appreciated. One of my son's asked every day if there was a picture. Thank you Christopher!”
“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!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Rachel! June had an absolute blast playing with the other dogs and soaked up all the love and attention from Rachel’s sweet daughters—she came home tail-wagging and full of joy. While in Rachel’s care, June even learned a new trick, which totally blew me away. What’s most incredible, though, is the difference I’ve seen in June since her stay. She used to be anxious around large dogs, but now she’s noticeably calmer and even tries to play with them. Rachel clearly created a safe, loving, and social environment that helped June come out of her shell. I’m so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”
“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!”
“I have nothing but great reviews for Brook. She is kind and communicated with me over the weekend while keeping my little guy. I felt good knowing that I left him in good hands!!”
“Roger and Norbert had such an enjoyable stay with Sam! She took GREAT care of them and sent lots of pictures of the pups in walks, playing, and relaxing which helped me with the natural dog mom anxieties of leaving your pups while on vacation. ? I would absolutely leave my babies with Sam again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible pup sitter in Indy!”
“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.”
“We had a planned trip and had never used a dog sitter before (just a traditional kennel) and we had a new puppy and a rescue senior we were worried about them feeling abandoned…..so we searched thru many people on Rover and found Deborah and Jeffrey….and were so glad we did! They were perfect! They treated our fur babies like they were at a resort and made sure they were having their own vacation with full house access (of their house!) We got full low down on everyone’s adventure. You can truly tell they love doggies and what they do!! We will definitely use them again!!!!!! Thanks guys!!”
“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!”
“Ash and her husband were so welcoming and sweet to our dog! She offers excellent communication with pictures daily and was very responsive to any of our needs. I would highly recommend their service and will absolutely use them again in the future!”
“This is the second time that I have used Lauren and I will continue to be using her to dog sit. Communication is easy and simple, drop off and pick up is quick and smooth. She gives me updates and has been accommodating if I’d needed to extend time. Highly recommend.”
“I have no words with how thrilled we are!! Our pack of 3 fur babies had a blast with Kieth at his house. They had free run every day and Kieth made sure they kept up with their commands. Before dropping off, Keith was sure to ask for an emergency contact and vet information just in case. My husband and I got pictures while we were gone. We got updates on how our pack was doing and getting along with the other dogs at his place.”
“Ms Sharon has kept my fur baby several times when I work out of town. She sends updates/pictures throughout Cali’s stay with her and she doesn’t hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns or questions. She was my first Rover experience and will continue to be Cali’s caretaker anytime boarding is needed. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would.”
“Nicole and her family were amazing with our Maggie girl! She usually doesn’t do well with boarding, but we didn’t have to worry about her at all while she was there! We will absolutely use them again.”
“Great sitter, Xena was in great shape and happy upon pickup. Communicated well without being overbearing. Respected my concerns and addressed them. Would recommend and use again.”
“As soon as Jojo got to Ms. Jacklyn's house, she felt right at home. I always have peace of mind when dropping off Jojo for some time with Jacklyn and appreciate her taking good care of my girl!”

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.
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 September 2026, there are 518 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.
