“This is the second time I have used Samantha for my puppy Beckett. He stayed two nights with Samantha. She does a great job with Beckett. He runs excitedly into her house which tells me he is treated well. She is very accommodating, we had to change our times a little bit and Samantha worked with us on that. I am already scheduled to use Samantha again.”
“Once more we left our dog Vanilla at Brook's home and once more she was awesome. Updated us with photos and videos of Vanilla all the time. She loves playing with Brook's dogs and we are very happy we found her. ”
“Joe did an above and beyond job of taking such great care of Ollie for us while we were on vacation. He asked about all of the big and little details of Ollie’s care, was very attentive to his needs and feeding schedule, and I loved that not only did Ollie get plenty of attention from Joe and his family, but he had playmates (Joe’s dogs) to play with and keep him company, and Joe sent regular picture updates! It absolutely puts us at ease that our pup got to have such loving individual attention from a family! I’ve never boarded him at a business-but I’m pretty confident that the level of personal care he got in a loving home far supersedes that of a business. I would hands down book with Joe 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.”
“Scheduling with Kristen was a breeze! She was very accommodating and flexible with the pick up and drop off times. I was a little nervous with this being my first time ever boarding my dog but she made it very easy on me by providing periodic updates. The fact that she also has 2 bichons and that he had a blast definitely puts me in the returning customer category!”
“Kylie was great! She kept in communication with us and sent pictures of how Dolly was doing. We weren’t worried or stressed and could feel like Dolly was in a safe environment. We will definitely use Kylie again!”
“Incredibly good with caring for my dog who can be anxious !! They were quick respond to questions and made drop off and pick up very smooth!! Would def use again!!!”
“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!!”
“Gabriel was so great! I could tell that Lincoln was comfortable at his place. Accommodations and communication was top tier. We’ll definitely use his service again.”
“Bethany was the most welcoming and confident host for our 12 yo poodle mix. Our dog has struggled with anxiety for years, so I was excited to see how accepting he was of being dropped off in a new-to-him environment. Bethany’s energy was perfect for his temperament, and I feel lucky to have found her for future visits. She tended to his needs, and even though he had a couple accidents- due to nerves or aging - she took this in gracious stride. We received photos and updates that made our trip away from him feel seamless. We highly recommend her, and will book with Bethany anytime she is available.”
“Yelena was great! She watched my four month old puppy and did a great job slowly introducing her dogs to him so that he was comfortable. She also sent a lot of pictures and videos giving me updates on how he’s doing. I’ll definitely reach out again in the future.”
“Wonderful as always! Brooke & Family are incredible at dog boarding. My little Ginger always has the best time while staying with them. I already have my next booking with them scheduled!”
“Mallory was awesome with my mini goldendoodle Bella. She took her to the dog park daily, gave her lots of cuddling time and made Bella feel right at home. You can tell that Mallory truly loves dogs. I highly recommend her!”
“Paige was wonderful with Max and so sweet! We loved seeing daily pictures of him being part of the family just like at home. We will definitely check with Paige next time we travel! ❤️”
“Christopher was great to work with! He was super sweet to my dog, spoke highly of him and followed all my care directions. He was highly communicative and very flexible! I appreciate his care! We have already booked our next boarding stay with him.”
“Brendan was very nice and easy to communicate with. His dog Duke was a sweetheart. We were a little nervous boarding Eddie we had never left him before. We would us Rover and Brendan again.”
“Jennifer was great! She was available on short notice when our dog sitter wasn't free, she was a life saver! She loved on our doggies and sent us lots of pictures during their stay. Will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Christina was great and would recommend her. She provided daily updates and was easy to communicate with throughout the process, from originally booking all the way up past my pup being picked up. Will definitely use Christina again in the future!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shirley 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 732 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Shirley. 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.
100% of Shirley 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 Shirley 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 Shirley 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 Shirley.
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 Shirley 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.
