“We have boarded our black lab with Amanda twice now, and look forward to boarding her again! My dog gets excited to return and actually whines to get out of the car and go see everyone. Amanda is very responsive and clearly loves animals. It is obvious our pup has a great time and loved getting attention from her kids. Amanda also sends pictures of our dog which helped put our mind at ease- she always seemed so happy! We typically board her at a big boarding facility that is inconvenient and seems to stress our dog out the older she gets. Instead, she gets to feel at home and enjoy a peaceful environment. Amanda is also extremely flexible with drop offs/pick ups which has been very helpful for travel issues. We are so grateful to have found Amanda and know we will continue to use her to keep our pup safe and happy while we're away!”
“Oh my gosh!!! My 2 girls had a blast - and I received many pictures throughout our trip to prove it !!!! Our "terror" lab puppy had a hot spot (yep that's our Gracie) and Marilyn was right on top of it with notifications and treatment plan - wow I was so impressed. Awesome pet sitter !!!!!!”
“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!”
“Katrin did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. Her space is perfect for taking care of pups and she clearly loves dogs. She was great about getting her plenty of walks and sent lots of pictures and videos.”
“Titan had a fantastic time with Teri! I was so nervous to leave my old, quirky pup when I left the country but that fear quickly went away when I met Teri and throughout Titan’s stay. He loved her backyard and all the attention he got and was very comfortable there and will definitely be a repeat visitor when I need a doggy sitter!”
“As always, Lola loved her stay with Sharon! She came home happy and nice and tired! We appreciate Sharon keeping us updated with comments, photos, and videos. It’s so nice to see our pup having a great time with her buddies!”
“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.”
“Miyu is excellent! I highly recommend. She's kind and consistently expressed care and attention to my dog. I know my dog was well cared for and we look forward to booking her in the future.”
“Lindsay and Jeremy were fantastic! We got daily updates and videos. Our boy played hard and came home happy and tired. :) We will definitely be using them again for pettsitting!”
“Honestly, probably one of the easiest boardings I’ve ever done. Jade was prompt with her responding, quick to check in, and sent update pictures throughout the booking. I will 100% for sure be returning.”
“Sonia and Jeff are phenomenal! We have used them exclusively for nearly two years now for our beagle/hound mix, Rosie. Rosie has a lot of apprehension when going places like the vet or grooming appointments, but literally cannot wait to get out of the car when we get to Sonia and Jeff’s and is so excited to see Jeff! We always get updates about her stay and can tell that she’s really cared for. She comes home happy and tired!”
“Our puppy had great 3 days with Anitra. She was very communicative and pro active with us. Puppy enjoyed being around with her two cute dogs . Definitely looking forward for our next visit 😃”
“Cathy took fantastic care of my dog. I was given consistent updates, lots of adorable photos, and she communicated so promptly. I could tell that she treated my dog like he was her own and that helped me to not worry at all during his stay. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy person to watch their dog!”
“Andrew was the best and Took care of my husky, and provided pictures and was very patient and also provided tons of exercise for my dog. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dog sitter or boarder in the future.”
“Ms. Crystal is ALWAYS wonderful. Cotton nearly jumped out of the car when we pulled up so I know she loves on my babe!! I will always book with her for my out of town trips. I trust her.”
“Kimberly, Dustin and their son are amazing! They took such great care of our Aussie and I couldn’t recommend them enough. They sent lots of photos, walked, played and snuggled with our dog as if she was their own. They have a Aussie named scout who got along with Lily great and helped get her energy out. They were super accommodating for our early departure and late arrival which we truly appreciated. Again can’t recommend this family enough for watching your dog we will be rebooking them in the near future!”
“I can’t recommend Krystina C. enough! She was absolutely amazing with my dog—so kind and attentive. My pup loved all the walks and playtime, especially with her dog! It was clear from the start that she truly cares about animals. As a bonus, she even gave me some great recommendations for new food. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like their own, Krystina is the one to call!”
“Vanessa and her family made our dogs feel right at home. When we returned, they were clearly happy and relaxed after their stay. Nothing could please us more than to know our puppies were safe and relaxed while we were away.”
“Felt great with Lauren watching my dog. He’s almost 16 years old and I am so particular with him that I rarely feel any level of actual comfort with someone else watching him. I felt at ease with Lauren and that meant a ton. She sent a lot of pics and videos and I’d take him back anytime.”

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.
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 , 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.
