“Susan and her family are simply the best. They provided excellent care for our dogs. We have tried all the other 5 star options and have always been disappointed with the result. Our dogs looked better after staying with Susan than they did when we dropped them off. Susan’s communication is also second to none. She will keep you updated daily with photos and videos. We can finally say that we have found a safe, reliable and loving option for boarding our dogs. We cannot thank Susan and her family enough for taking such great care of our dogs. She will always be our go to from now on.”
“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!”
“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”
“Best Dog sitter Ever! My Lab, Ace, loves going over to Michael’s and he loves Nala! I always know Ace is in great hands and never worry! Even if mishaps, Michael is so gracious! Thank you Michael! See you next time!”
“Natalie was very welcoming and explained the process to us throughly! Our cats had their own space with a nice TV with nature sounds and images. Nice touch! She sent nice pictures to us while we were away. Cats looked healthy upon our return. Would use her again and she is close to our home in proximity.”
“Tonya is an excellent provider. It's such a joy to be able to leave my little girls in her hands while we are gone and not worry about a thing!!! Awesome!”
“Stella was happy and had a great time staying with Audrey and Joshua. They took great care of her and I appreciated all the updates and pictures during her stay! We will definitely have them watch Stella again!”
“Anamika did such a great job taking care of our boy. We had a slight horror story with another sitter, but Anamika made sure to keep a good eye on Mars and kept us updated multiple times a day with his care, disposition/demeanor and even his poop lol. We will definitely book again for any other trips and refer her to others.”
“My dog seemed to have fun with Nicole according to the many pictures that were sent over the course of his stay. I would recommend her to anyone looking for care of their pet.”
“Ashley was totally awesome! This was a last-minute booking as we left WNC after Hurricane Helene, and couldn't accommodate Casper where we were staying. She was totally calm and in charge, which Casper needs since his tendency to shepherd and try to be in charge is so strong. He needs to know he's not in control. Ashley took great care of him physically and psychologically. I'll definitely seek her services again if we're in the area!”
“We are so happy that we sound Stephanie! We immediately felt comfortable leaving Deacon with her and loved getting all the pictures and updates. Deacon is very active and loves to run and play, so Stephanie’s great fenced in backyard was perfect! I think he enjoyed his weekend as much as we enjoyed ours knowing that he was well taken care of! Thank you Stephanie…we will definitely be calling you in the future!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of Gunner this past weekend and kept me updated with lots of pictures, which I really appreciated! It was so nice knowing he was in great hands while I was away. Gunner had such a great time, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I would absolutely recommend Taylor to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur babies. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We had another Rover booked that canceled a few days before our trip and Christine kindly agreed to watch my dogs at the last minute. She was great and very attentive and accommodating to my little dogs! I could tell they were happy and well cared for and loved getting picture updates each day. Thank you!”
“Dana is fabulous - she always takes wonderful care of Milo and treats him like her own dog. She follows his complex meal prep, lets him sleep in her bed, Milo gets lots of outdoor time, and Dana sends great photo updates. Dana also has the sweetest dog, Bailey, who is best friends with Milo. We appreciate you Dana! Thank you for taking such great care of Milo!”
“Sindhu was amazing with our senior pup. Shadow is almost 19 and needs a lot of help and tender care. Sindhu and her family took time to understand all the needs, habits and cues of our doggie and gave him the best surroundings we could ask for. We were able to go on our trip without being stressed because she took such amazing care of him.”
“I’ve had Lora watch my six month old kitten twice now & she is absolutely amazing! She sends pictures and updates on what they are doing throughout the day which is so fun to see - Arthur definitely loves his time with her! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: My husband and I have been caring for and loving dogs for as long as we can remember. We both grew up with dogs and understand just how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on us for dog sitting, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Since we both have the flexibility to work from home, we’re able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistent care throughout the day, so your dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. We’re truly dog lovers at heart and adore pups of all shapes and sizes! However, due to allergies in our home, we’re only able to offer boarding for non-shedding or hypoallergenic breeds. This allows us to provide a comfortable environment for everyone while still giving your pup all the love, attention, and care they deserve. We both work from home full time, which means we’re always available for your pup! We’ve owned and cared for our own dog for years, so we’re already adjusted to the daily routines including playtime, walks, and just lounging if that what your pup prefers. We’re flexible and can accommodate overnight and multiple night stays. Your dog will always have us around. Since we both work from home, your dog will have plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. We enjoy taking daily walks to give the dogs plenty of exercise and fresh air, and our large backyard provides lots of additional space to run, play, and explore. With someone home throughout the day and plenty of opportunities for activity and playtime, we strive to make every dog feel comfortable, happy, and right at home with us

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 of Dog Boarding in Stanley is $28 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,370 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Stanley can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Stanley home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
