“Heather is amazing! Lacey loves to stay with her and she always meets new friends. We can tell by Lacey’s demeanor when we get home that she feels comfortable and secure with Heather! We already have her booked for our next adventure.”
“Our girl was well cared for by a loving family. We got daily updates and pictures of Hattie. I believe she had a lovely time with Alyssa and her family. We would definitely book her again. Thanks for taking such good care of our girl.”
“Ashley was great with our little buddy. Rocket and her daughter got to be best buds. She was great to send photos to make us feel better. He had a great time. Will definitely use her again. Thanks so much.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care provided during our overnight stay! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy, well-cared for, and clearly received lots of attention and affection. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter!”
“I previously had boarded my dog before trying rover, and I will never go back. Angela was AMAZING! She took and shared lots of photos and updates while we were on vacation. Bruno loved playing with her dogs and kids, too! I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Gabriella took great care of my older dog. Winnie seem d very hapoy (although tired) after her stay at Gabreilla’s. Her dog Yeti is really good with other dogs and became buddies with my dog that don’t used to being around other animals. Highly recommend Gabreilla for any pet sitting needs”
“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“I am so glad I found Dan. She took amazing care of our dog in her home while we were on vacation. I was so relieved to know he was getting the same amount (if not more haha!) of attention, love, and activity as we give him. She took him on long walks, played with him at the park, gave him extra treats, and even bathed him when he got a little dirty playing outside. Dan sent us plenty of photos and videos while we were gone. I will use Dan any time we are out of town again and I couldn't recommend her enough!”
“Haley was great she came out and picked up the dogs which saved us a lot of time since we were getting ready for a trip. It’s obvious she loves animals by the way our dogs responded to her immediately with tails wagging . She kept us updated daily and sent pictures and kept us at ease the whole trip. Our dogs are not what we would call easy dogs to handle but Haley made it look easy and we would recommend her to anyone with any kind of situation, thank you Haley..”
“Great sitter! Kept me updated all the time and took very well care of my pup! He was very happy and had lots of fun! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Unlike boarding facilities or vets' offices where he has stayed in in the past, Sprite was happy and content while with Arla and her family. Being an "only" dog, Sprite really enjoyed his social time with Charlie and Winston. I don't know who had a better time on their vacation; us or our dog! We will definitely use Arla again.”
“I had such a great experience with this dog sitter! From the moment we met, it was clear how sweet, kind, and genuinely caring they are—not just toward people, but especially toward animals. My dog felt comfortable right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. They were attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It’s obvious they truly love what they do, and it shows in the way they treat the dogs in their care. I could tell my dog was happy, well cared for, and even a little spoiled with attention! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.”
“Christina was so lovely and accommodating to my senior dog and me! I was very nervous leaving him with a new sitter. Christina was extremely reassuring and accommodated my numerous check-ins. He also came home tired and not stressed, which is a huge win.”
“I have been using Nancy now over a handful of separate times. I travel a good bit for work and leisure pleasure and my dog needs someone to watch my baby❤️. Nancy is absolutely a blessing, as she goes as far as to come and pick Ezra up from my residence as driving is difficult for me. Each time she has come to pick my dog up, Ezra is always super super excited to see her and pulls me all the way to Nancy’s car in order to give her a ton of kisses.”
“We had the best experience! Our dog was well loved and got loads of playtime and care while we were traveling. He was great about photos and videos, which helped ease missing her. Stefan was friendly, personable, professional, and reliable. We’ll book with him again, no doubt.”
“I am so grateful to have found Susan. She sends photos and videos of my Leo having the best time with her sweet dogs and her family. Leo always comes home happy. Susan is kind and responsible and clearly loves her dogs and mine. Her home and yard are clean. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and don’t have any worries about leaving my puppy with her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shelbyville
We couldn't have asked for a better family to watch our miniature Goldendoodle puppy!! She was so loved and taken care of and made friends not only with their two pups but others who lived in the neighborhood! Alyssa sent many text updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay which more than ensured me she was living her best life while I was out of town! I will most definitely be a repeat customer!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shelbyville on Rover is $38.85 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 .

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.
98% 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 KY 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.
