“Christopher was great with our elderly dog! Bucco was asleep on the couch when I came to pick him up. Our dog looked up, though happy to see me, seemed to be telling me, "Really? I have to get up? But I'm comfortable. " Christopher sent pictures every day. That was much appreciated. One of my son's asked every day if there was a picture. Thank you Christopher!”
“They took our pups on short notice and sent me pics and video the entire time they were there. Our dogs were perfectly content and I will definitely be using them again!”
“Gabriel was beyond amazing he provided updates, pictures and videos throughout the stay! His doggies are so sweet and chill and our coco felt very much at home. I can tell by the videos that she was enjoying herself and she’s usually nervous when staying at other peoples houses. They let her sleep in their bed and snuggle and treated her as their own. You can tell they truly love animals we would 100% use them again thank you 🙏❤️”
“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!”
“Bethany was wonderful with our dog, Charlie while we were away. She kept us regularly updated with messages and photo, which gave us great peace of mind. Charlie was clearly well cared and happy. We would definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I have 9 years experience of professional dog training. I have 3 shepherds of my own who I use as demo dogs when teaching classes! I work with dogs of all breeds and sizes (always love a challenge:)). I also do a lot of boarding, dog sitting and walking for a lot of my clients and bring my dogs to tag along for a full pack walk! I also do baths, nails, blow drying and brush outs! I currently make my own schedule as I do dog training, grooming and boarding. I am able to attend to every dog immediately and do not need to leave them alone long at all! Sundays are the only days where there will be a 4 hour gap due to church :) I have a fenced and yard with plenty of space to roam and run and I have my 3 shepherds to keep your fur baby company! I also have crates that I can use as well!
“Samantha was great! She took great care of our pup Indie and gave us daily updates on how she was doing. Our flights were at crazy times, so she even went above and beyond by picking up and dropping her off at our house for us. I would highly recommend.”
“We were gonna be gone for two weeks and needed someone to take care of our baby. At first, we were a little scared to leave her at somebody else's house, but my husband went to Brook's house and met her and her dogs first! That made us feel very good about the stay. While Vanilla was there, Brook sent us updates, pictures and videos. We feel great about her and we'll leave Vanilla again under her care. Thank you guys :)”
“Brendan was a life saver! He responded to my last minute boarding request for my mastiff at close to midnight the night before the stay started😅 My boy spent two nights with Brendan and his pup. He’s never been away from home before so I was a little nervous but everything seemed to go well. Brendan was very easy to reach and he sent pictures and updates regularly. I would definitely book with Brendan again! Thanks so much!!”
“She was great with Leo. Sent great photos of Leo having fun with others. And so communicative and very friendly. Will book everytime we’re in town and highly recommend her services! 🤎”
“Top notch!! They took care of our 8 month old Labrador while we were on vacation. This is the kind of personalized care we had been looking for to care for our fur baby. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Jennifer was the perfect choice for us and our two furry friends! We booked her for several days over Thanksgiving and she was so patient and flexible with our changing drop-off and pickup times! She is also extremely knowledgeable and really helped lower my anxiety about leaving my anxious and older dog and my quirky puppy for the first time in a long time! Definitely recommend with no hesitation and she’ll be the first Rover sitter we look for next time we have to leave them!”
“We had such a wonderful experience Lynna. She took such great care of our Bella and treated her like her own. She kept us updated throughout the stay by sending pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient and caring—even hand-fed our little one when needed! Her two dogs were also so sweet and well-behaved, and they got along wonderfully. She even went the extra mile and did a little photoshoot for our pup, which was absolutely adorable! 🥰📸 We truly appreciate all the love, attention, and care she gave our dog. We would definitely recommend Lynna and would happily book with her again! ❤️🐾”
“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!”
“Candie was awesome! I was so nervous to leave my pups and she made it such an easy experience. She sent me pictures every day, updated me, she made my nerves calm a lot. For sure taking my pups to her again!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shirley 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 727 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.
