“Amanda and her husband were wonderful sitters for my pup. They stayed in constant communication and were flexible with my schedule. I felt very good with my choice to work with them and would highly recommend them.”

“David exceeded our expectations with the care of our Gracie Lou, while my husband and I were on vacation. We really appreciated his daily pictures and updates. We will definitely be using David again and highly recommend him.”


“My dog Luna seemed to thoroughly enjoy her stay with Violette and her family! Violette sent me lots of pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. She was super kind throughout all of our communications, and very understanding when I had traveling delays. Luna was kept clean, fed, and well cared for. I would absolutely book Violette again, and would recommend anyone else to. She genuinely seems like a warm-hearted, good-spirited person!”

“With it being our first time using Rover, I could not be more pleased with our experience! Halle and Thomas were a breeze to work with. I really appreciated our phone call ahead of booking, and I could immediately tell Halle was so knowledgeable and loves dogs so much! She communicated with me each day that we were away with message updates and photos of our Diamond girl enjoying her stay! 10/10, no notes, looking forward to booking again! Thanks again Halle and Thomas!”


“I really appreciated Sony's focus on keeping the dogs calm from the first meet-and-greet to when I picked them up after their stay. Drop-off and pickup were super streamlined so that the dogs aren't all nervous and I could easily get the dogs in and then bring their supplies in separately. Great experience, she will be my go-to from now on!”


“Karla was an excellent host for my dog Goose! She was very responsive and provided pictures and videos each day she watched him. She was also very flexible when I unexpectedly had to ask for another day of hosting. Overall very satisfied!”

“We were in town visiting family and couldn’t keep our dogs with us. Brandon and Aubrey were great! They kept us updated during their entire stay. Our boys seemed very happy with them. Would recommend and use again when in the area.”

“Baxter enjoyed his time with Kerri and her family. It was his first time away from home and she kept me updated with pictures and videos. Nice big fenced in back yard for playtime and that was important as Baxter is an Aussie who just celebrated his first birthday on pick up day.”

“Camila & Lino were great caretakers of our guy Bruce, a Siberian Husky. This was his first time away from us in a new space and Camila & Lino were prompt and empathetic in addressing our questions and concerns. They were also conscientious about our guys quirks and managed his interactions with the others. Bruce seemed well and relaxed when home. Great experience!”

“Erin and her family are great! They have watched my dog twice now and are just wonderful! Their dog and mine had the best time! It was such a relief to see pictures of my boy having a good time, which always help ease the stress of leaving him when away! Would definitely recommend booking with them again!”

“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!!”

“Lorraine was fantastic!! She sent lots of pictures of our Yorkie while we were away. We were beginning to wonder if our dog would want to come back home. We will be using her next time for sure!”

“Teri was so patient and welcoming with Nova! You can tell that Teri really does care about your pet. Nova returned at ease after her stay with Teri. We will definitely book with her again!”

“Evan was fantastic with Jefe for his overnight stay. He was extremely communicative, friendly, and welcoming from the start, and he has an incredible farm property with plenty of space for Jefe to explore and enjoy himself. Evan sent updates throughout Jefe’s stay, which gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. His dog was also incredibly welcoming and seemed to make Jefe feel right at home. Jefe came home happy, relaxed, and absolutely exhausted from his time on the farm. He slept incredibly well that night, which is probably the best review he could give. We had a great experience with Evan and would absolutely trust him with Jefe again.”

“Bailey was fantastic! She was very accommodating to our last minute need for boarding. She was very communicative and sent many pictures! She kept our dog busy and happy. We’ll definitely rebook in the future!”

“Went above and beyond. Very caring and conscientious. Great communication. Sent a lot of pictures. We knew our dog was in very good hands. Would definitely use again.”

“Stacey was wonderful with our dog! She watched her for 5 nights and did a fantastic job. Stacey kept us updated at least once a day and sent lots of pictures of them enjoying different activities together. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well cared for our dog was while we were away. We really appreciated the communication and care she provided, and we would definitely use Stacey again!”

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.
