“Amazing experience. I'm so glad we found David and Jeanette. Their family home is setup perfectly for pup sitting and everyone is properly experienced with dog care. Our three dogs (aged 2-13) loved their vacation with these Rovers.”
“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!”
“Taylor and Andrew gave us such peace of mind leaving our elderly vizsla, River, for 4 nights. Not only are they the most caring people, but they welcomed River like she was one of their own, sent pic and video updates, gave her daily meds, and even introduced her to her new favorite toy. We will definitely ask for another doggie staycation in the future.”
“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!”
“Maya is an amazing host. My puppy had a great time with her and was very happy to see her again. She kept me updated with texts and cute photos. I highly recommend her services.”
“Angie took such great care of my Pup! She sent pictures almost every day of the fun he was having with her and the other dogs visiting. She was easy to work with and I felt my pup was in such great hands with her! I highly recommend her!”
“I am so thankful that I came across Tatyanah and Everardo here. My dog needs to have his bladder manually expressed following a spinal stroke three years ago. They agreed to learn, and they successfully did it for a long trip for me (18 days!) Tristen loves to walk and got daily walks with lots of new friends. He was healthy when I got him back. I got lots of pictures and updates. He also made new dog friends! I wasn’t worried at all during my trip, and it was such a relief to be able to travel and not worry about my dog. Thank you so much!”
“Awe you won’t be disappointed if you allow Danielle to watch your fur baby. She was super accommodating and flexible when it came to me needing her to watch my pup at the last minute. Louis had so much fun and she sent a ton of pics. Louis was actually sad when he came home the first day because he missed his new friends he had made with her dogs. I would definitely rebook Danielle again :)”
“This was my first time using Rover in addition to having someone I didn’t know watch my dog and I have to say I had a great experience. Makayla was a dream to find, she had great communication, sent me updates and photos and genuinely cared for my Baloo. I knew as soon as I met her Baloo was going to be in good hands and you can tell how much she loves animals. I will absolutely use her again and can’t recommend enough.”
“Marie was so kind to meet our puppy before we booked. She sent us photos of our dog during her stay and Eevee was very well taken care of with toys and fun!”
“Faith was incredible with Bella! Her communication was excellent. She went above and beyond, even buying Bella some greenies because I had run out. I could tell by the photos that Bella had a great time and got lots of cuddles. We will absolutely book with Faith again. Thank you!”
“Definitely capable! My dog has meds and a bland breakfast and everything went great. She was super energetic when she came home too, so I'd be happy with her going back and not having to worry!”
“Cameron and Adriana were awesome to work with. We had never left our Buffy overnight with anyone besides family and they were very attentive to keeping us informed of her wellbeing with photos and videos. We will definitely be back!”
“Marina and Kathryn were exceptionally kind. It was the first time I had left Oliver with someone who wasn't family. However, he returned home very happy and with new friends. My family and I are very pleased with Marina and Kathryn for hosting Oliver as their guest.”
“This was such an amazing time for our two doodles and Jennifer did an awesome time! They stayed in communication with us and our girls have never been this mildly mannered! Thank you so much and I would recommend Jennifer to anyone. They would be very lucky to have their dogs with Jennifer! Looking forward to our next time!”

“Mochi was well taken care of by Sierra and her family. He was very happy and energetic when I picked him up. It was sad leaving him as it was a week long, but I felt very good after great updates and pictures from Sierra. Highly recommend, thank you!!”
“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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 908 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 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 Julian 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 Julian 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 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 , 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 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.
