“Amazing sitter! Rachel made it so easy to arrange drop off and pick up and was very communicative throughout the process. I got lots of pics of my dog playing and getting love and attention. I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home! 😂 Thanks again!”
“Christopher (and his son) were the best sitters we’ve ever has. Our dog gets anxious easily and this is the first home we feel at ease knowing she is 100% happy, safe, and cared for. He sends updates and pictures and is very understanding and flexible with scheduling. HIGHLY recommend.”
“We had an amazing experience with Ruby! She treated our girl like a princess 👑 She sent so many pictures and videos, reassuring us that she was having a great time. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”
“Perfect mix of human and dog companionship for my 11 year old big boy. Brooke administered allergy medicine as requested. Already booked again for another week. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Nicole was an amazing caretaker of my little dachshund! He had never stayed away from home before and she made him feel at home and settled. I would definitely use her again. She also kept me updated and sent photos and videos which helped me greatly🥰 I picked him up and he was happy and calm😁”
“Mary is such a loving lady! It’s so reassuring knowing that Reggie is in good hands and receiving quality care 24/7 while we are away. Such a GREAT option for us instead of using a kennel or boarding service. I so appreciate Mary’s prompt response time when I need an update. AND she is such a friendly person and easy to love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Tosha and her family were a great fit for our picky, middle-aged dog. She had a good time and we got several pictures. Tosha was also very flexible about our drop-off and pick-up times.”
“Debbie and Jeffrey are amazing care givers! Our dog is always well cared for and he loves staying there. They are flexible and communicate regularly, sending pictures and updates. They are my permanent option for my dog Loki.”
“Gabriel was an absolute professional and took such great care of our dog while we were gone for a week. We never had to worry and he had great communication and updates for us. He treats our dog like one of his family. It is clear his home is a warm and welcoming place for any animals and I wholeheartedly recommend his services. I will be using him again!”
“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.”
“Kari and Clint’s family is so amazing!! They took such good care of our small pup, Tater, while we were away on a 3 week vacation. This was the longest we’d been separated from Tater but the daily communication and love they showed him put us at ease. They provide a safe, welcoming home with plenty of space and time for outdoor play. Tater looked so happy and comfortable during his stay. He has separation anxiety but I really felt they took the time to get to know him and made sure he was given all the individual attention he needs!! I would highly recommend Kari and Clint to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

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.
