“Amanda was amazing! Vegas has so much fun, the photos were awesome and comforting, and she is very flexible and caring. Amanda will be my go to anytime my little guy needs someone to love and care for him!! Thank you so much Amanda! ❤️”
“Dave was extremely reliable and communicative before and during our boarding stay. He always replied to messages within minutes and was very kind and responsive to all of our questions as anxious dog parents and first time Rover users. His place has a large and securely fenced yard where our dog had lots of space to play. We would definitely recommend Dave and look forward to bringing our pup back to him for future stays!”
“Our girls had a great time with Halle and Thomas (and Molly!) We got plenty of photos and updates on our trip, and both my husband and I agree we will gladly use them again in the future.”
“Teri was really great with Olive! We had a meet and greet first, and I could tell right away that Olive would be very happy staying with Teri. The sit went well, and I received photos and updates to let me know my girl was happy! Easily a 5 star experience. Thanks, Teri!!”
“Denetra is a wonderful pet sitter. She cares about both the physical and mental health of my dog. During their time together, she works on his training and he is always in good spirits at drop off and pick up”
“Tracy was the best sitter! My dog was clearly super comfortable and at ease with her because she came back to us super happy and not too exhausted. Tracy kept us updated with adorable pics, and let Brandy snuggle on her soft blankets. I would definitely recommend Tracy to a friend!”
“My family and I were preparing to head out of town for my birthday when we realized, in the middle of all the planning, that we had forgotten to schedule a sitter for Oakley. Like any dog mom would, I immediately went to Rover and was pleasantly surprised to see several sitters available. I reached out to a few profiles, and Rebecca D. responded right away, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Rebecca was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We quickly coordinated a plan for dropping Oakley off, and the process was seamless. When we arrived, Rebecca was already outside waiting for us and gave clear instructions on where to park. She even invited us inside, which we politely declined, but I thought it was such a thoughtful gesture. Prior to our arrival, she also shared information about her dog’s temperament, which I really appreciated. Throughout the weekend, Rebecca kept us updated with photos and videos of Oakley, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. When we picked him up, he was excited to see us, but it was also obvious that he had a wonderful time with her. Oakley came home happy, and we are so thankful for the care Rebecca provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!”
“Stacey did an awesome job watching our pup! I know our dog was at ease & comfortable with her which was super important to us. She would communicate with us throughout the day & send us many updates which we loved. Our dog can be a handful meeting other dogs and isn’t the best on the leash but Stacey did great with her! She gave her lots of loves and cuddles too which was so appreciated while we were away. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!!”
“Lauren and Jeremy are a great couple who immediately made us feel comfortable leaving our dog Millie. You can tell they love having dogs and making others they are watching feel right at home. Lauren sent us a pic and kept us up to date on how Millie was doing. So happy that we have found great care for Millie when we need it!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Amanda was great! My dog is a timid and anxious boy and she took great care of him and his quirks! He loved the backyard to run around in. Amanda sent plenty of picture and video updates as well! Would definitely recommend!”
“Yara and Angel were great watching my babies! They sent daily updates and pictures and my boys thoroughly enjoyed playing with their daughter!! Will definitely contact them for future dog sitting!”
“I'm so happy we found Renee. She and her family have watched our little chihuahua several times. Our baby girls loves them and gives them kisses when we arrive so I know she is well cared with them. Highly recommend!”
“We LIVE Scott & Heather! Finley loves going there and is completely comfortable. He always has a great time. Scott is great about communicating and sending pictures and videos. We highly recommend.”
“This was my second time leaving my puppy with Kimberlee for boarding, and it was amazing yet again!! She kept up her daily training and sent lots of updates and pictures. Pesto had the best time again!”
“Olivia, along with her family, took good care of my pups. They came back to me healthy, happy, and tired. Olivia’s home is perfect for two little dogs that need extra TLC. We will definitely seek her out in the future :) CJ”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Stem is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 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 1,600 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 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.
95% of sitters in Stem 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 Stem 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 Stem.
<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 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 , 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.
