“David and Jeanette were great! Had my dog Piper stay with their family for 3 nights and she looked like she had a great time. Great communication and photos and easy to chat with! Thank you!”

“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.”

“If this was Airbnb, Doug and Marisol would be super hosts. The took our two chihuahua mixes while we were on vacation. We didn't have to inquire how they were doing as Marisol sent pictures every day (including funny captions). She also sent text updates that reflected they had got to know our dogs personalities. They have a good walking space so the dogs had plenty of sniff time. They came home a little chubbier than they left and very happy. We will use their resort services again!”

“We needed a local pet sitter and, and are so grateful we found Matt and Kat! We received lots of pictures of the dogs on walks, just hanging out and doing their usual thing. The communication from Matt and Kat was excellent and we felt our pups were in great hands!”

“Diana is a lovely woman with a lovely home and yard that are very animal friendly. I left my senior girls with her- first time I've left them at anyone's house other than grandma's-and was never worried at all. I got updates and photos daily, as well as one video. She is very experienced with dogs and followed my 2-page "How to take care" document perfectly. Diana is warm and kind and your pups will be very well taken care of by her.”
“Tatyanah & Everardo did an awesome job with my Pup Isla!!! My Pup is very timid around other pups, but Tatyanah, Everardo, and their pups made Her feel very welcome. I received videos and pictures throughout the time Isla stayed at their home. I asked them for feedback and tips on how I can get Isla more comfortable around other pups. I would definitely recommend them. Isla will be seeing them soon as I plan to bring Isla back! Thank you Tatyanah and Everardo!”

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.
“Having the peace of mind knowing our sensitive pup Sophie was in kind and patient hands is invaluable. Thank you, Cori and Chris for taking such good care of our girl. 🐶”

“Jennifer is a God send! She took such great care of Buddy while we went on vacation (a long one). She administered meds to our senior dog and definitely gave him some good lovin! Totally kept us up to date by sending daily pics and I love how her whole family loved on him as well! Definitely will go to her again when we need a sitter for our Buddy. Thank you so much, Jennifer!”

“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!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my two dogs than Ron! From the start, he was incredibly kind, responsive, and professional, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Ron provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that my pups were not only safe but also happy and well cared for. His warm and welcoming family was an added bonus—it's clear that they all truly love animals and treated my dogs like part of their own. When I picked up my dogs, they were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved during their stay. Ron made the process effortless with his attentiveness and genuine care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and responsible sitter. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future!”

“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!”

“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”


“Absolute Best. Our girls loved their vacay and we loved all the updates! Nate and Ray were very responsive with messages and proactive with keeping us updated. We flew out of town for several days and had no doubt in our minds that our girls were well-taken care of. They have an awesome backyard with ample space for the dogs to chill out and/or run around. We're pretty sure our girls despised us for taking them home! It was very comforting knowing that our girls were in great hands with their wonderful family. Without question, we will definitely be booking with them for future travels.”

“Brianne took great care of our 19 month old Bernedoodle, Kona. She and her family welcomed Kona into their home with love and care. We received pictures and updates which put us at ease since this was Kona's first time staying with another family and dog. Our dog even forgot who we were when we returned after 6 days to pick her up. Thanks again, Brianne!”

“Sarah was incredibly easy to coordinate with and very responsive throughout the entire process. My dog had such a great time and got along wonderfully with her pups. We’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Kevin was just the person I needed to take care of my dog while I was working out of town and my family wasn’t home to watch my dog. He has the perfect set up to keep any size dog fed, safe, and well taken care of and he has the room for a handful of dogs too! He and his kids took the time to take my dog out for walks. I will definitely reach out to him when in need again. Thanks Kevin!”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Benji all week. With the park right next door, he had a vacation of his very own. I was so happy to receive all the updates, it gave me such peace of mind knowing he was content. 5 stars for this great experience!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Julian on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 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.
