“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!”
“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!”
“I love Samantha. So does my puppy. What’s not to love? We have had her sit Elvis a few times now and are always so happy about his stay! She sends photos and updated often - and replies fast. Laika (her dog) is Elvis’s new bestie!!! Samantha even bought Elvis more food because he ran out before we even had time to panic!!! She is amazing.”
“Brook graciously agreed to watch our very lively 6-month/old standard poodle for 5 days. He had a great time with her and her 2 dogs. She was confident and competent, communication was good and we didn't worry at all.”
“We dropped our Bonz off on Thursday afternoon and they steadily send us pictures until we got home 3 days later. We messaged a few times to check on him and no response was usually accompanied with a photo. I think he enjoyed his stay. Thank you”
“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.”
“Yelena is a blessing and I’m glad my neighbor referred Rover to me. Noah loves her and her puppies and he got along with the other dogs that were in her care. 10/10 recommends. I’ve already booked our next stay. Thanks Yelena😃”
“We are so grateful for Joseph and his family for their care in watching our dog, Jack. On the day we were to drop Jack off to Joseph, Jack had an accident where she required veterinary care. Joseph was still willing to accept Jack and administer antibiotics and pain medication for a week while we were traveling. Joseph sent daily pictures and provided updates so we felt more at ease. Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”
“This was Sidney’s first day with Karen after we had done a meet and greet. Sidney was there for the day, not an overnight this time. All went well. I think the biggest sign of a successful day is that Sidney came home, put himself to bed and just literally passed out. ? Thanks Karen… we’ll be back.”
“The dogs had an absolute blast with Michael and Jessica! They were well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend them if you want amazing care for your pups!”

“This was our kitten’s first time staying away from home, and Shelby made it care-free and easy! She kept such a close eye on our kitten, even if the kitten didn’t necessarily want her too, haha! She made Willow feel so comfortable that by the end she was snuggling with Shelby! Looking forward to the next stay!”

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Shirley 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 744 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.
