About: I’ve cared for energetic puppies and senior pets, handling feeding, walks, routines, basic training, playtime, and extra patience while learning each pet’s unique personality. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide dependable pet care, walks, playtime, feeding, and attention throughout the week and on weekends. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect and genuine care. I carefully follow your instructions, lovingly supervise your pets, keep their routines consistent, and always keep you updated with their well-being.
“Maci took great care of my sweet girl. She provided regular updates and photos and I feel my dog was well taken care of. I wound totally recommend Maci as a sitter. Thank you!”
“Holly took good care of our senior dog Bear. Communicated daily on how he was doing. She genuinely cares and is very knowledgeable about dogs. Bear even gave her kisses (and it takes him a while to warm up to anyone).”
“Jennifer was professional and provided updates every day while we were away. Our 3 dogs played their hearts out and were taken care of the way we wanted. Jennifer was reliable and gave us the peace of mind we needed!”
“Terra provided excellent care for my dog. She was very communicative and flexible. Terra gave a lot of care and attention to my dog, while also being very easy to work with. Highly recommend and will be a repeat scheduler.”
“Josette was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us in a pinch when our other dog sitter canceled. She did a meet and greet with us before our trip and took some extra time to get to know our pets. While we were gone she took photos and kept us updated every day! Our animals all seem to really love her. We will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Claudia was wonderful! Our pup is always a little nervous with new people but by day 2 she was snuggled up with Claudia. She sent frequent photos and updates, was great at keeping Kaya on her regular schedule, helped out with other household tasks and left the house clean. I appreciate knowing that Kaya is being well taken care of because it allows me to enjoy my vacation! Kaya will be looking forward to her next stay with Claudia.”
“Charles took our booking last minute as we had exhausted our options for care for our older reactive pup, he knew what he was doing when it came to the meeting and knew how to handle Avi, Avi loved Charles, and Charles paid close attention to our little needy situation with Avi and executed everything perfectly, will definately book again as im afraid Avi will wonder what happened to his new friend 😁”
“Beth was the most lovely, kind, and caring sitter for our baby boy Blue. I felt so at ease traveling knowing she was watching him and our house. She is super intentional about security and customizes her watching based on your pet and their needs! Will definitely book her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter ?”
“Stephanie did a great job house sitting for us on short notice. The dogs, the cat, and the house were all well taken care of. We got updates and photos daily and felt comfortable right from our meet and greet. We'd definitely book again!”
About: I have diverse experience taking care of dogs, cats, goats, horses, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, birds, and chinchillas. All animals are welcome and will receive my full attention and care. I offer weekdays, weekends, and holiday availability. I work from home so pets can expect to receive my full attention if needed during the day. I prioritize safety, trust and a familiar environment. Your pet will receive expert care, always in an stress-free experience and your peace of mind at home.
“Super convenient and you could tell she loves animals! I needed a sitter for the last second and she was available and wanting to take care of my JC which made her stand out to me! She's super caring and sweet! 10 out of 10 would recommend to others!”
“Jack is SO GREAT. One of my dogs is a mean little barky boy, and Jack was so patient with him. After a few hours, my dog became so comfortable with Jack he was laying in his lap, demanding belly rubs. Since, I’ve had Jack back again to watch the dogs, and he’s a great houseguest. Very courteous, so responsible, and great at communicating. My pups can’t wait to have him back!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Julian
Danielle is hands-down a five-star pet sitter, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She recently watched my dog, Merlin, along with my home, and she provided the absolute highest level of care from start to finish. Danielle treated Merlin like her very own, keeping me completely at ease with frequent updates and wonderful photos that showed just how happy and relaxed he was. Not only did she take exceptional care of my pup, but she was also incredibly respectful of my space, leaving the house completely spotless and clean. She is reliable, deeply caring, and a true professional who gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Merlin absolutely loved his time with her, and I will definitely be booking Danielle again for future trips.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Julian is $34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $34 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Julian walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Julian maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Julian choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
