“David, Jeanette & family took such great care of our dog during our trip. They were consistent, loving and caring and have a great environment for dogs at their home. Thank you!”

“Leigh is absolutely the best dog sitter around! My 15-year-old dog does not like to be away from my family, but after a very stressful year, we needed a brief getaway. Leigh watched him with great care and attention and constantly updated us on how he was doing. I highly recommend her.”
“Cecelia was very understanding of our situation as we needed to leave for out of the country for a couple of weeks. She communicated with us daily via Rover and kept us up to speed on our three big babies. Unfortunately, there was an incident with one of our dogs on the last couple of days. Cecelia continue to communicate and show professionalism, and continued taking care of the dogs until we arrived home a couple of days later. We appreciate her understanding and handling of everything. We definitely recommend Cecelia for your dog-sitting needs.”

“Kathryn and Matt were amazing. They have 2 other dogs that Gumbo was able to play with and the property was safe for him to have a good time.. They gave regular updates on how he was doing, walked him around the neighborhood and even snuggled him on the couch when he sat next to them. They were excellent caretakers.”

“Erica took great care of our 9 year old golden retriever. She was quick to respond to any questions and sent several pictures to show how well our dog was doing. Erica definitely treated our dog as if she were her own. Thank you, Erica!”

“My dog always has a blast at Daryle’s house. When he realizes we’re taking him to her house he gets so excited he can’t stop wiggling around in the back seat. It’s really reassuring to see how my dog just absolutely loves the whole family.”

“Taylor and Andrew spoiled Rafi! They gave her extra treats, made sure she ate, gave her run of their home and yard, took her for walks, and gave her affection. They were good about providing updates and sent photos. Rafi was with them for 2 wks., and when I picked her up I witnessed her seek attention and affection from them, she interacted well with their dogs, and had no initial interest in my return. I recommend them and will definitely use them again. I couldn’t be more pleased. Thank you!”

“Doug and his family accepted our little one into their family while we were away! From all the puctures they sent we can tell she had a great time! We will definitely benusing them again!!”


“They took excellent care of my dog. They sent me pictures everyday which was wonderful that I got to see her and not have to worry about how she was doing. She ate turkey on Thanksgiving and made a lot of new friends during her stay. It was also very comforting to know that she would be snuggling under the covers like she does at home. I would highly recommend them and will definitely be using their services again. ”

“Both me and my pup felt at ease from the moment we stepped into Corinne and Christopher's home. They are the nicest people and take great care of my girl ❤️”

“I cannot thank Diana enough for the incredible care she gave my senior dog, Dexter, while I was away on my honeymoon. Dexter has some health concerns, and I was nervous about being gone for so long, but Diana’s experience with older dogs and her calm, caring nature immediately put me at ease. Her communication was outstanding — she kept me updated regularly with messages and videos, so I always knew how Dexter was doing. It was clear she truly cared for him as if he were her own. I came home to a happy, healthy pup, and I could tell he had been in loving hands the entire time. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and experienced — especially for senior pets — Diana is the one. I would absolutely trust her with Dexter again in a heartbeat!”

“Kevin was a great host throughout our dog’s stay with him. Our dog seemed to have a wonderful time He sent photos, and answered promptly. 10/10, definitely would recommend and book again.”

“So happy we found Erica and Ronald! Our pup had an amazing time during the week we were gone. We got pictures every single day of him playing, smiling and napping after a long walk. We will definitely be using them again!”

“Tatyanah and Everardo watched our dog Nova for five nights and took such wonderful care of her. They are so friendly and you can tell right away they love dogs. It was such a relief to know she was being loved and well cared for while we were on vacation. They have a spacious yard, and Nova especially enjoyed playing with their two dogs—she bonded quickly with Jojo! They took her on plenty of walks and kept us updated with lots of videos and pictures, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely love for them to watch her again next time we need a dog sitter!”

About: I have had all sized animals in my life for the majority of it. I was in 4-h as a child and have had several Saint Bernards, as well as Rottweilers, American Bulldogs, Border Collies, and many cats. In the past 3 years I have helped my clients train over 125 dogs if various ages and do direct work with dogs that require instinctual validation, especially for working dogs. I volunteer at HVOC in Escondido and assist with training in the Wednesday night puppy classes, so I am very used to interpreting dynamics from dogs and setting clear and healthy boundaries for them that will benefit them as they grow up. I am very competent at taking care of large groups of dogs, I am verg commonly taking care of 8+ dogs, so anything less than that will be a walk in the park for me. I mostly work online when I am not caring for a client's pet, so I generally have plenty of time to spare for walks or whatever you may need. For some reason, I have been told that it looks like I am not available to be booked, please ask! I am competent in taking care of animal's special or complicated diets and cleaning after them if needed. I encourage any insight/direction on any needs for your animal as well. (Treat schedule, walking, washing, whatever they need) I am very tidy and will leave your house spotless.
“While I was away, I received regular updates, photos, and messages that showed how happy and well cared my dogs were. It was obvious that my dogs felt comfortable and loved. When I returned, my dogs were relaxed, healthy, and clearly had been in great hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, Ashley is the perfect choice. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Bailey is a fabulous experienced and caring dog sitter. Our dog immediately liked Bailey; he was very comfortable within her loving care. It was so sweet to receive several photos and an update at the end of each day of our sweet doggy. Our dog was also blessed to play with Bailey’s too young daughters. Bailey has earned my highest recommendation for all your pet needs.”

“Sarah and Shelby were awesome! Definitely recommend for any of your pet’s services. They took in our 8 month old puppy with short notice for an overnight stay. We were in town from out of state to visit family and this was our dogs first stay away from home. We were updated with pleasant photos throughout the night and they were willing to keep her until noon the next day. Their dogs Ziggy and Titan were very friendly and played well together. We will be back!”

“Kara was fantastic with our dog. I felt completely at ease knowing she was taking care of him while we were out of town. Lots of walks, attention, daily updates, photos, and homemade treats! I would definitely rebook with her again.”

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 July 2026, there are 919 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Julian. 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.
93% of Julian 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 Julian 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 Julian 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 Julian.
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 Julian 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 CA 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.
