“Skip had a great time at Amanda’s! This was his first time away from us and we felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. He has a pretty specific diet because of allergies and had zero problems. He also loved playing with her dogs in the yard! We would definitely leave him with Amanda and her family again.”
“Marilyn was phenomenal with Hudson, and he had such a great time!! Daily updates and pictures showed a very happy pup and it was clear from the start that Marilyn and her family knew how to take great care of dogs. Marilyn was also very accommodating and flexible when my plans changed, and I appreciate all the care going into taking care of Hudson!”
“She did a fantastic job looking after our puppy, Thor. She was very patient and treated him like a member of her own family. I’m grateful for all the photos and videos she sent me. 100% recommended.”
“Leaving our Ollie with Kerri for the 7 days we were out of town was the BEST decision we could have possibly made. She is super easy to communicate with. She has studied animal behaviors so I knew that no matter how many dogs she had (it was the 4th of July week-busy!) she would make the right decisions with how to handle our girl. She would send pictures and videos so we could see our girl. Kerri is very professional yet extremely easy to talk to and oh so friendly. Just use her-she’s the best. We didn’t know if Ollie would want to come back home to us bc she had so much fun at Kerri’s! Ha!”
“Valerie is amazing with our fur babies. She is and has always has been our 1st choice for 4+ years. On this recent visit, our elderly fur baby was not feeling well. Valerie was quick to notify us (we were out of the country)...and after a visit to the vet, he returned to Valerie. She took EXCELLENT care of our baby!!”
“Katrin was AMAZING! My husband and I are so anxious leaving our dogs and katrin put our minds at ease immediately. From the moment we arrived, the dogs were clearly comfortable and in great hands. She shared regular updates and pictures, administered our senior dog’s medication, and went the extra mile in every possible way to make sure our pups felt right at home. We’re so grateful for her animal loving heart!”
“Erin and Dave are amazing!! They sent lots of pictures and videos, and took care of my girl like she was their own. I would recommend them to anyone and will absolutely book with them in the future!”
“Maggie absolutely loved staying with David! I'm always worried when she's staying with someone new because she can be really skittish around strangers and it usually takes her a long time to warm up to people (some people she never does warm up to), but when David sent me the pictures of her I could tell she was not only comfortable but so, so happy. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again!”
“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!”
“Niko had a wonderful stay with Savannah and family. Niko loved having new friends to hang out with and got all the attention and care he could want. Savannah has excellent communication, and I love every picture and update. He's looking forward to the next time already!”
“Julie and Greg provided amazing care for our young high energy hound during his first-ever experience with a sitter. They sent photos and updates every day. Not only did they give him plenty of exercise, play, and affection, they worked with him on some problem behaviors/doggie-manner-deficits during his stay with them. I could not recommend more highly.”
“Bailey was sooooo great. My dog Cody loved her and her family. She was very sweet and helpful as this was my first time using Rover. Thank you so so much Bailey for taking great care of my boy Cody.. Will definitely be using again”
“Even though my booking was so last minute, Bruna was able to accommodate me and my Koa. Bruna was responsive and kept in touch with me regarding Koa. I really felt at ease knowing my pup was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Bruna to anyone who would want their pet to be well taken care of!”
“Knowing someone will love your fur baby as much as you do is a huge relief when you have to be far away. Daily pics and updates were great and just what I needed. My fur baby returned happy, healthy, and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Anitra!”
“Olivia is an exceptional dog sitter! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves animals. She was incredibly professional and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout my trip. This was our first time leaving our pups with anyone other than family.Olivia followed all my care instructions perfectly and even went the extra mile by taking Sox for extra walks and giving him lots of love and attention. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!”
“So happy we found Lorraine and we didn’t have to leave our dog Petey at the kennel. Petey loves to run and play with new friends and he got to do just that! Lorraine sent us photos and videos every day that helped put our mind at ease. We will definitely use her again.”
“I was new to Rover and now I don’t know how I’ve gone without it. Sonia and her husband are sweet and took great care of my fur baby, even providing me with tips as this is my first dog and they have lots of experience”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stem on Rover is $33.17 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,624 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.
96% 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.
