“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.”
“Bobbie, her mom and grand daughter were truly amazing!!! Pepper really enjoyed himself with their dog Joey. As an added bonus Bobbie gave Pepper a bath. I will surly use them again the next tie I travel to Indy!!!”
“I needed someone last minute to watch my dog Hazel for 8 days! I was already super hesitant because I am used to boarding and have never left my dog somewhere for so long. Nancy was quick to respond and set up and meet and greet. I could tell Hazel immediately felt at home. Nancy sent honest updates and lots of pictures. My dog looked like she was having so much fun, I was almost nervous she wouldn’t want to come back home with me! I can tell Nancy and her husband showed lots of care and love to my dog. I am very happy she had such a safe and loving environment to stay in for her long stay. I highly recommend Nancy to anyone, as I will be contacting her for any future stays my dog may need.”
“Kristen took in our Rey (1yo Dachshund) during our time away during the holidays on short notice. Such a relief to have had Rey stay in the care of a very nice home and family. Will definitely look for Kristen again in the future!”
“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! ❤️”
“Absolutely amazing stay. Our plans were not super concrete so she was so flexible with me and willing to add a day last minute. Her communication was always fast and I LOVED getting pictures and updates of Nala throughout her stay.”
“Tilly's previous owner has taken her to Karen for years. So when Tilly came to live with me, I also took her to Karen. Tilly loves staying with Karen. And as Tilly's mom, I love that Karen sends me periodic updates and photos of her time there when I'm away. Everyone I've talked with loves taking their dog to Karen. I agree and will certainly take Tilly there again.”
“Wonderful people, they loved being there and played tons. Took wonderful care of them, we loved the photos and the updates so much! Would 100% recommend boarding with them, we will definitely book again if we come back out that way.”
“Christina (& Lyla) are the best!! I’m always a mess leaving my babies and they made it a breeze. Christina was so consistent with Ollie’s updates. Ollie is an anxious dog and requires a lot of attention as he wants to be a part of your pack at all times. I have never seen him more relaxed and happy in an environment outside of his home. She truly cared for him like he was her own and it showed. I will 100% be canceling any kennel bookings I have for the future and rebook Christina every time. 10/10!!”
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!
“Family were very welcoming at our meet and greet. Did not end up needing to use services due to change in plans. I am confident Tilly and Miles would have enjoyed their stay.”
“Deborah and Jeffrey were absolutely amazing! Genuinely the nicest people ever! I couldn’t have asked for better qualified people to take care of my babies while I was gone. Communication was 10/10! It’s a no brainer that I would request their services again in the future!”
“Julie was wonderful with my dog. I was so glad he was well taken cafe of. Despite me having some trouble with the reservation booking system, Julie and the Rover rep got the issue sorted out quickly. I'll definitely use Julie again.”
“Milo loved staying with Adrienne. She is very attentive, playing with Milo and going on many walks. My fur baby was well cared for and I will look to book with her again.”
“Mallory was amazing! She was a great communicator frequently sending pictures and updates, which my kids loved. She also showed Gunner a ton of love and treated him like a part of her family. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”
“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! ❤️🐾”
“This is the second year I have used Samantha to watch Nala. Nala seems to have a good time running and playing. I will continue to use her because I know my dog is in good hands.”
“Nicole was an amazing caretaker of my little dachshund! He had never stayed away from home before and she made him feel at home and settled. I would definitely use her again. She also kept me updated and sent photos and videos which helped me greatly🥰 I picked him up and he was happy and calm😁”
“We’ve had Christina and her family watch our 10 month old Cavapoo a couple times now and have had such a great experience every time! Christina is the sweetest and loves the dogs she watches. Her daughters and cats are also so gentle and great with our puppy. They send lots of photos! We went out of town for a few days and felt completely at ease knowing our puppy was with them. They give her so much love and attention, and she’s always so happy there (and she is played out when we pick her up). We feel really lucky to have found them and highly recommend! 🐾 would give them more stars if we could!:)”
“I'm always a little nervous to leave my dog with someone new, but Kailly was very responsive, flexible with drop off and pick up times, and sent photos of Cleo. She was so friendly and excited to meet Cleo that I felt so comfortable that Cleo would be well taken care of and she was.”

There are 748 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shirley. About 91% of Shirley sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
