“Jennifer was wonderful and understanding of a last minute change request. She and her family treated Charlie like one of their own and he was happy and tired when I picked him up.”
“Doug and Marisol were such a blessing to my wife and I while we were out of the country. They were very communicative and sent pictures of our dog enjoying walks and their company almost every day. It made our trip much more enjoyable knowing that our dog was being taken care of and safe!”
“Angie was so great with my dog Dexter. He doesn’t like being alone in the boarding places I’ve taken to. At Angie’s he was able to run around, play with other dogs and didn’t have to sleep alone in a crate. Dexter loved his visit. Thanks Angie.”
“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.”
“We are so lucky to have Michelle and Steve (and their sweet lab Daisy) for our Tapi. They are so caring and treat our big puppy like their own baby. He gets so much attention and they are always conscientious about keeping their dogs safe. Tapi absolutely LOVES going there and he had such a blast with his 5 night boarding with them.”
“They took such good care of our pet and always kept us updated while we were away. We really appreciated all the pictures they sent, which gave us peace of mind knowing our pet was happy and well cared for. They were reliable, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. We would definitely recommend them and would be happy to book with them again!”
“Could not have asked for a better experience! My pup (Ace) is an extremely anxious guy but upon meeting Leigh I could see she had such a warm, calm personality and that he would be in great hands. She sent me pictures and messages daily which I really appreciated. Leigh is extremely flexible with drop off/pick up times. She has a lovely home with a large outside area that Ace could safely explore. It was so nice to take a vacation knowing that Ace was being cared for by someone that truly loves dogs. I will be using Leigh for all future trips. Book her now!!”
“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.”
“Corinne and Christopher are great Rover sitters. They were very responsive to messages and most importantly took great care of my girl Busaba. I felt like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would use them again.”
“Erica was amazing with my pups! We received pics and updates throughout their stay. My pups were well taken care of and comfy with Erica and her family. Thank you for taking care of my dogs on short notice too ❤️❤️❤️”
“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!”
“Matt and Kathryn are absolutely wonderful with our dogs. Never, in all our years of being pet owners, have we taken a vacation without our animals. But we just got back from a week abroad without any concerns for our pups because we knew they were in the very best care. Our dogs miss Matt and Kathryn and their dogs when they go too long between visits. It's so cute to see them get excited when we arrive. Can't recommend them enough.”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Marta and her beautiful family took excellent care of our Yogi. We loved all the pictures and video. Seeing my dog happy and well while I’m away puts my mind and heart at ease. Thanks, Marta!”
“Evan and Tatyanah took great care of our senior Aussie, Sidney! He came home happy, healthy and well fed! They were super flexible and very easy to communicate with. We got updates and pictures frequently while we were gone. So glad that we have found people that we can trust to leave Sidney with!”
“Nate And Ray were awesome.... Both Millie and Spuds had a good time and got much-needed socialization with NEW dogs. They have a clean home and yard which is something that was important to me. You can tell immediately that the dogs felt comfortable around them. Receiving photos of the dogs while we were away was an added bonus, allowing us to relax. I would definitely use them again. Good people, sweet house dogs and they did everything they said they would.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 914 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.
93% 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, 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.
<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 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.
