“Grace is wonderful and caring and kind with your animal. She went above and beyond to make sure my Lily felt comfortable and safe on her first stay away from home! Outstanding job!!!! She kept me updated and she knew how to handle a grumpy kitty!!!! I just loved the environment of their home - perfect for kitties and puppies to have a staycation!!!”
“Heather was great, our doggos had fun and we were sent videos daily! It was much nicer for our dogs to be with Heather and in her home than a clinical type setting of boarding them with the veterinarian clinic. We will definitely use Heather again!”
“Thankyou so much Amanda. On picking up molly and Emjay they were groomed, relaxed and really happy. Thankyou for the updates each day and for taking great care of our fur babies. We will totally use Amanda again and recommend everyone to have your furry family looked after by Amanda.”
“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! ?”
“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!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing experience! I cannot recommend them enough. They took incredible care of Kobe and sent tons of pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave me complete peace of mind. They even shared great tips to help with his potty training. Kobe is very playful, and I’m usually very selective about who I trust with him, but I felt comfortable immediately. They welcomed me in, let me see the space where he would be staying, and took time to chat with me beforehand. They were so patient, attentive, and loving. Kobe was never left alone at any point. Since they don’t have a dog of their own, your dog gets ALL of the attention, which I absolutely loved. They still had everything he needed and treated him like their own. They’re a young, energetic couple who truly care about dogs. I would 100% book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier care!”
“She made me feel very reassured leaving my dog with her that has anxiety issue's. She treated her like family and tended to her needs. She communicated well and responded right away if I had questions or just wanted an update on how my dog was doing. She sent plenty of pictures. Would definitely recommend her and will be using her again.”
“Maggie & Michael did an outstanding job watching our pup! They have a great space w/ their fenced-in backyard, and their dog played so well with ours. They sent daily updates/pictures, took our dog on walks, and gave her”
“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.”
“She watched all 3 of our dogs in her house one is a Great Dane who is very clumsy and big. My lab mix is very skittish and she was patient and kind. Toward the end of their stay he had even started to hang out with her which is a big thing for cow. My dogs really enjoyed hanging out with her dogs, especially Remi who immediately wanted to play with my dogs. Overall I think they had an awesome time.”
“We are so glad to have found Crystal! She has watched our dog, Blue a few times now and always takes such good care of him. We really appreciate the updates and photos to make us feel better about leaving him.”
“Katie was the best! She had great communication and was super friendly. I loved getting the daily check-in photos of my dog — it really put my mind at ease while I was away. He had such a fun time running around her property and playing with her dog. I could tell he was well cared for and had an absolute blast. He slept the whole night after I picked him up, so I know he had a great stay and playtime! I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable and loving in-home dog sitter.”
“Chelsea and her family including the pug pack are absolutely awesome. Zoey fit right in and got to be part of the pack. Phenomenal care, communication, and lots of pictures. We are already booked for the next sleepover at PugCamp. Thanks for the peace of mind :).”
“Such an incredible experience for us and our pups. Pam brought our dogs in like they were her own and they had the most wonderful stay. Will absolutely be using her again.”
“Sarah was amazing! We received multiple pictures and updates daily. Her doggies are really sweet and got along well with ours. We look forward to booking with Sarah again soon!”
“Shoshanna was amazing and so flexible and accommodating for our two doggies. Highly recommended. We really appreciated the daily videos and how she went the extra mile to communicate with us and let us know how they were doing.”
“I needed a last minute boarding for my pup and Ana was available. My dog seemed to have a great time playing over at Ana's. She kept me up to date with pictures throughout the stay. I would definitely book again.”

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 August 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.
