“Once again Roy continues to be the Dream Sitter! He is responsive whenever I check in and has the knowledge and patience of a great trainer. I have the confidence that Roy treats my Mack Boy as his own and that gives me the peace I need to enjoy my time away (20 days). The Pattersons Rockvale, TN”
“Gabbi, Justin, and JT were phenomenal!!! We had never left our dog with anyone but family before. They took such good care of our Taber. He sunned himself in their nice big backyard, got loves on the couch, and slept in bed with them. I would HIGHLY recommend this wonderful family to care for your pet family. Thanks again so much. They will be the only ones we leave our Taber with. Will use them every time!!!!”
“Awesome! The absolute BEST. Crystal sent updates with photos and video all week. My fur baby had the best time. She got all the loves and cuddles, just like at home. We will never board our baby at the vet again. Crystal is the very best fur baby caregiver!! She made our vacation worry free and provided the best doggie vacation. 10/10. 100%. Highly recommend.”

Every time I go out of town now, I will be seeing if they’re available! They’re so friendly and welcoming. My dog is shy around new people but she loved them so much and was cuddling them every night! 10/10 recommend.”

“Maribel and her family were amazing! They took care of our dog for a week and he had a blast. She sent us pics daily and gave us updates. Our dog seemed so happy and content with them. She took such good care of him, it made me at ease while I was away. I highly recommend her. And her sweet boys kept him busy!”
“Our first time using Rover so we were pretty nervous but we couldn’t be happier with Michella! She took care of our baby like he was her own. Very quick to communicate and actively sent us pics and updates throughout our boy’s stay which allowed us to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. Would definitely recommend her and will use again! Thanks again, Michella!”
“Patrick was awesome for taking Whiskey last minute. I am a nervous fur baby mom. So I like a lot of pictures and updates, Patrick did communicate everyday, but sometimes later in the day. He has a sweet fur baby that Whiskey loved playing with. Patrick was very sweet and playful with my high energy Bel Mal.”
“We had the absolute BEST experience with Katie. Leaving a young puppy can be nerve-wracking, but she completely put our minds at ease from the very beginning. She went above and beyond in every way, providing consistent updates, sharing how he was doing, and clearly giving him so much attention and care. It was obvious he was not only well taken care of, but truly thriving while we were away. Her communication was incredible, and we never once felt anxious or unsure. That peace of mind is priceless, especially with such a young pup. We are so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be using her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Kobe enjoyed his stay, Krista too excellent care of him. She sent me pictures he was happy . I would definitely use her again. I did not have to worried about him. What a wonderful blessing. She was to him and my husband and I. Thank you.”
“Kayla & Trevor were great with Hershey. Hershey is 13 1/2 years old and blind and they allowed her run of the house as if she were one of their pets. Will definitely use again should the need arise.”

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 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 279 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.
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.
