“Mary did a great job with my dog this past week! I received multiple pictures and updates each day on how Fen how was doing. He came home happy and ready for a nap- signs of a great vacation for him. I will be excited to have Fen stay with Mary again in the future!”

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I am willing to keep special needs pets and am able to give medication. I am open to discussing any special requirements your pet might have. I live at home with my mom and this is my only job. I am free to give your pet all the love and attention they need. I have a lead in our yard for potty time and live near a dog park for fun and exercise. We will take walks, having brushing time to bond, and have lots of play time. I do have a dog kennel available inside and will have food and water bowls for your pup. We do have cats, so please make sure your dog is cat friendly.
“Julie was a wonderful sitter for my Bailey girl! I was on a vacation in another country and was very worried about boarding my pup for the first time. Julie relived me of all concerns. She provided updates and pictures/videos daily, was always available for communication, and even provided a report card after! Will always recommend her and will be booking again for future trips. Thank you Julie!!”

“Mallory was absolutely amazing with Harvey & Jack🤍 She kept me updated throughout their stay, made them feel comfortable, & treated them like her own! Harvey immediately bonded with her (which says a lot because he’s very shy), & Jack came home happy, tired, & well cared for. She was attentive, communicative, & clearly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her with my boys again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, & patient with dogs of all personalities & sizes!”

“Family couldn’t have been nicer - we appreciated them making time for a meet and greet beforehand and for the pics sent over the weekend! Would absolutely book again.”

“Layla had a great time playing with both Richard's dogs and others he cares for, which kept her busy and active. Richard sent photos daily with short updates.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I have gone through puppy kindergarten classes with my dog as well. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, birds and bearded dragons. Pet care fits into my routine as I am pretty flexible on weekends, so that I can let them out frequently. I work as an instructional assistant for an elementary school. I can care for animals before and after work as well as my lunch breaks. I follow the school schedule and get holidays and breaks off as well. I prefer staying in the clients home so that the pets can stay in their comfort zone and as close to their normal routine. With that said, I am also very flexible. I can stay in the home, offer drop in visits or care for them in my home. Whatever the client prefers.
“Ellie was absolutely great for us and our dog! She was kind, communicative, and knows her way around dogs. Even better, her adorable dog Red was a great companion for our own during the 1.5 days away from us. Our dog was all tuckered out the next day from all the fun she had. Can’t recommend Ellie enough!”

“Nancy and her husband were great with our dog, Izzy. They provided us multiple updates with photos throughout her stay. Would highly recommend and would use again. Our dog, Izzy, was cared for and lived for.”

“Adrienne is amazing. She was very attentive to Milo, who sometimes takes a bit to warm up to a new environment. In addition, even though the temps were very cold she still walked Milo which I really appreciated because he loves his walks!! Definitely a wonderful dog sitter and will use her again.”

“Tosha was the best! She took great care of our pup and kept us informed daily with pictures and updates. If I need to board my dog again in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook Tosha. She truly is top notch.”


“You can count on Steve. He really is a great human being who truly will take CARE of your four-legger. Titan loves you, Steve, and thanks you for a safe and fun second home while mommy was away from Indiana working hard to pay for the kibbles. God bless and thank you!”

There are 765 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shirley. About 92% 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 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.
