“Susan was absolutely wonderful! She sent us numerous videos and pictures of the dogs each evening and even got them a Christmas present! The dogs really seemed to have lots of fun running around in her big fenced yard and they also loved her daughters! We were so glad we did not have to worry about Maggie and Minnie during our cruise!”

“Sarah & Erik were fantastic with our golden retriever! There was amazing communication and picture updates, which were very appreciated as rhis was his first time staying overnight at someone's home rather than a boarding facility. He came back so happy, sweet, and well cared for. Thank you for everything, we will definitrly be booking again in the future!”

“Jessica was such a pleasant person and took very good care of my boy! She sent pictures and videos and kept me updated on his doings. He doesn't have pet siblings to play with at home so he thoroughly enjoyed being able to use his energy with her dogs! I would definitely trust Jessica to watch my Rocko again!”

“Our 5 month old puppy, Beau, had a wonderful time staying with Brad, running around their spacious home, playing with their pups and toys, and snuggling up on the couch. I especially appreciated their understanding of that Beau’s house training is still a work in progress 🙄. We will joyfully return the next time we leave town!!”

“My fur baby was right at home. Aquisha was awesome and made me feel very comfortable with leaving Zeus with her. i didn’t worry about him one bit and she sent me pictures daily.”


“Monique is a great dog-sitter! She was very easy to work with and quick to respond to messages. Our dog, Annie, had a great stay with her for a week while we were on vacation. Monique sent updates with pictures during the week and she was very easy to schedule with. We really appreciate the peace of mind that comes with knowing your dog is in good hands. Thank you, Monique!”

“We are new to the area and needed someone to watch our dogs. Our neighbor recommended Jamie. We felt confident from the meet and greet that our pups were in good hands. Jamie provided pics and kept us updated. We will definitely book with Jamie again.”

“Nick and Sara were so sweet to my senior dog! They were always attentive to his special needs. I really appreciated the updates and prompt communication. They really went out of their way to make Bruce feel at home!”

“Thanks to Jennifer and Matt, we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our Frank was being well taken care and receiving lots of lovin'! This was our first time leaving Frank with a sitter and Jennifer and Matt immediately welcomed Frank which put my mind at ease. They are easy to work with and I appreciate that their communication was prompt.”

“I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Amelia and Grant were absolutely amazing. I was a little nervous since our pup can be anxious when we leave him, but from the very start they made my husband and me feel so comfortable — and more importantly, they spoiled our pup with so much love and care! We can’t recommend them enough!”

“We found an absolute gem when we found Nancy. Our little guy adores her and comes home happy, calm and much loved. We couldn’t ask for more and highly recommend Nancy to care for your pet! 🐶❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Stanley
Buddy seems to have had a great time with Amanda and her family. The fenced in yard was a must for him and he enjoyed being able to run. She says he enjoyed her dog as well. He has slept since he has been home so i know he had a great time! He got plenty of exercise and love. High recommendations for this family

This was my first timing booking with Piper and I’ll definitely be using her again! I always get nervous leaving my pups with someone new but Piper made me feel super comfortable by letting me meet her sweet pup Stella and sending me pictures during their stay. They were well taken care of and had the best time with their new friends!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stanley on Rover is $26.75 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 2,381 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stanley. 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.
95% of Stanley 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 Stanley 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 Stanley 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 Stanley.
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 Stanley 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 NC 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.
