Great experience! Amanda was very accommodating and took great care of Rosa. It was a treat to receive some pictures and video while we were away. Her price was the most reasonable on the Rover market!! 5 stars😊

Very pleasant experience, Violette took exceptional care of Benji and kept in touch with pictures and videos. I could tell by the pictures and videos that he was having a great time with her and the other dogs. Will definitely use Violette again! Highly highly recommended!!!

We had the absolute best experience with Marilyn watching our dog, Bleu, over the past few days! From the moment we dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. We received constant updates, adorable photos, and sweet messages that made us smile every day. It was so clear Bleu was not only well cared for but loved—he got treats, snuggles, and tons of attention. Marilyn truly treated him like family. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pup, she’s it! We’ll definitely be booking again. 💙🐾

Kerri was so awesome. My two dogs were taken care of and well fed. I was initially concerned about the other dogs there ( mostly because I didn't know how mine would react ). But Ms. Kerri has so much experience and loves all animals it made me.feel so much better woth how proffessional and caring she is.

I booked with Jill on fairly short notice and she was able to accommodate my dog for a weekend stay. Sophia had a great time and I received lots of pictures of her playing and having fun with the other dogs. I could tell she was well cared for and she was sad to leave. Jill communicated regularly and promptly.

Our dogs had such a great time with Katrin! She has plenty of outdoor space for them to explore and truly treated them as if they were her own. She even mixed their meals with rice bc they had upset stomachs! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and our dogs always looked so happy in the photos. We will definitely book with her again!!

Sharon was so great with our pups! I didn’t have to worry about their care while we were gone and was able to fully enjoy our vacation. Our one dog even warmed up quicker than he normally would with somebody new. She kept us up to date often which was very appreciated. We will definitely book with Sharon again.

FAQs for Boarding - Stem

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stem on Rover is $33.17 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 1,621 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stem. 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 Stem 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 Stem 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 Stem 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 Stem.

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 Stem 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.
