“Crystal is amazing! We’ve used her twice in the last 10 days. Lainey loves it there! She had so much fun she slept the first 2 days she was home. We were not worried about her at all. Got lots of updates and pictures. Lainey was excited to go back the 2nd time.”
“Gabbi and Justin were fantastic with my senior dog. They cared for her so well, they were absolutely wonderful to communicate with and went above and beyond for us. We will definitely book with them again!! Thank you Gabbi and Justin for an outstanding experience.”
“Lyndsey was an amazing host. Frequent contact for photo and video updates. Excellent communication and had a very safe environment for our pup. 5 stars would 100% book again.”
“Roy went above and beyond for our anxious and sometimes temperamental rescue dog Ginny. Ginny is a beagle mix with a history of separation anxiety, dog and people reactivity, and it’s been difficult to find a good dog sitting fit. Even though Roy had some serious life circumstances, he still agreed to watch Ginny since we had booked so far in advance. Ginny and Roy became buddies while my partner and i got to live it up for a week at Bonnaroo, without a care in the world. Roy was truly and amazing sitter and person - so glad we met and so appreciative for what he did for our girl. Thanks again Roy! ?”
“Talking about feeling like you’ve known a family forever upon meeting! That’s how it feels to meet Chelsie & Jesse. The love & care she gave our corgi was amazing. I have never used Rover & Chelsie was a recommendation from a friend. I will never NOT use them in the future. The peace I felt was priceless. Chelsie sends loads of pics twice a day along with updates on how your pet is doing. Their own pugs are so cute & perfect playmates for any dog. Not enough wonderful things to say about this family. 1000% recommend!”
“Adrienne is hands down the best! My dog Milo is always excited when we pull up to her place. He literally runs to her with his tail wagging like crazy! Milo is very picky and I find so much comfort knowing Adrienne is around. Sometimes I have short notice business trips and she is always willing to accommodate! The best :)”
“Stephanie really brought out my dog’s personality! T had the time of her life and I knew she was in good, qualified hands. I even learned a thing or two. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and will be back next year. *such cute photos too :)”
“Edward & Margaret were amazing with Bijou. Super communicative. Constant updates and photos. I never felt worried about her wellbeing. I knew every step of her visit. I appreciate their attention to her needs and being patient with her in her switch of routine. Thank you SO much!”
“We were so fortunate to find Pam and utilize her dog-sitting services (our first time to use Rover as well). It had been a while since we had boarded our two "girls", and we had a lengthy vacation in Europe planned. We connected with Pam through Rover and conducted a site visit. Great property and set-up for dog-sitting, and it was comforting to meet Pam, learn of her experience keeping pets, and were assured by her confidence and comfort level in keeping pets. While on our trip, Pam provided timely updates and photos of the girls, and even alerted us to a potential health issue with one of them. We had a great experience using Pam and highly recommend her!”
“Shoshanna was awesome! She made sure to send regular updates and took our dog to his favorite place (the beach). She was also extremely accommodating to our pick up time. Would highly recommend!”
“We have been using Maggie and Michael for years now. Our dog loves their family and is always so excited to spend time with them. They take such great care of our dog when we’re gone for extended periods of time—they treat him like part of the family!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She gave us complete peace of mind while caring for our fur baby, Old Sport, our Pomapoo. We received regular updates and pictures, and Katie was always very communicative throughout the stay. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We will definitely be using her again for any future needs!”
“Evan truly went above and beyond for our German Shepherd… he was very kind and calm even when she got sick at one point. He took amazing care of her - we’re so grateful! Definitely highly recommend.”
“Krista kept my black lab (Charlie) for almost two weeks while we were on a long vacation. She also went to my home for several drop-in visits with my cats during that same time. We were so blessed to find her! She took such good care of all the animals and communicated with me throughout their time with her, sending me pictures and reassuring me that all of them were doing well. Charlie loved Krista and all three of her kids. He fit right into their home and family. Even my cats came to visit and enjoy the attention during check-ins with them. I highly recommend Krista. She is understanding, reliable, and very accommodating with individual situations. We will definitely be requesting her as a sitter for Charlie and a caregiver for our kitties on future vacations and other times we need to be away from home.”
“Best experience we could have had! He had so much fun and was loved on and walked plenty. He was so happy when I got there. Tori was so friendly. She sent me pics every day with an update and we will definitely be sending Oreo there again anytime we go anywhere!!”
“No words to describe how incredible of an experience Chief had over the last 10 days! Grace is amazing and now has a lifelong customer !! If you’re in need of a home away from home for your pet- you’re missing out if you don’t book with her! 10/10 recommend. P.s.- i was FLOODED with photos the entire time away.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Shelbyville
Patrick was awesome! He took great care of Winter, giving him plenty of attention and treating our horse of a puppy like he was his own. I really appreciated that he was willing to watch a dog who had never stayed with anyone outside of our family. Patrick kept us updated throughout Winter's stay, which meant a lot because both my son and I were worried that Winter might act differently around someone he didn't know. Those worries disappeared almost immediately. Within about 15 minutes, Winter was letting Patrick pet him and had already flopped down for a nap. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to leave Winter with Patrick again.

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

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.
97% 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 TN 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.
