“We had such a great experience with Zhuoya! They took such wonderful care of our dog and treated her with so much kindness and attention. We really appreciated all of the updates, pictures, and photos throughout her stay. It gave us such peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so easy for us. Most importantly, our dog had such a great time and came home happy! It was clear she felt comfortable and loved while she was there. We would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and attentive pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾❤️”
“Anais was great and communicated well. She took care of Brownie and he seemed very happy when we picked him up. Will recommend her to everyone and look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
“This is the third time we’ve used Sabrina with Lola - and the longest. As usual, she was wonderful. Sent us pictures each day showing Lola happy and playing. We could enjoy our vacation knowing she was in great hands. We will absolutely use her again!”
“Chona was a fantastic sitter for our Frenchie, Coco. She communicated often with texts and photos, took Coco on walks and outings, and made sure she was comfortable and calm the whole stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog and would definitely book with Chona again.”
“Reginay was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Kobe and sent photos and videos every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Kobe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful and would definitely book with her again!”
“Denise is a dream caretaker of our pup Didi. Super good experience from start to finish. Very communicative. She cares so much about our fur baby. Pics and video updates were great. We had so much faith and trust that Didi was being cared for and enjoying her time while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”
“Highly recommending Florence! It was Yuki's first time boarding over the weekend, she's unsocialized but super loveable. She was having an abundance of fun with the other dogs, playdates and walks. Florence sent me a ton of pictures and updates throughout the day so I wasn't ever really worried. The training is also a plus! Yuki was able to learn alot from Florence. She was really loves animals and it definitely shows. I'm sure Yuki is already looking forward to her future stay.”
“As always Kathy is the best! She just really cares about you furry family members. She also sends many updates so you are never worried if they are okay. Our dogs are always returned happy and tired from all the fun they have had at her house!”
“Ceudi and her wonderful family were great sitters for our senior Boxer (11yr). She was attentive to his medical needs (medicine and care) and stubborn habits. She sent daily updates and always responded quickly to our messages. She lives in a nice neighborhood with a large park nearby. We will definitely be reaching out to her for our future sitting needs.”
“Anton was very attentive to our dogs. Sent photos everyday and checked in with me, as well. He was friendly, warm and his home is secure. I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with him and would recommend him.”
“My dog was very comfortable with Rekha. My dog is usually very nervous and I could tell she enjoyed her stay. Rekha and her family are very nice people and I would recommend her dogsitting to anyone.”
“Wendy made my boys and me comfortable during their stay with her. I never had any concerns and she sent me a pic and vid during their stay. They looked super comfortable and even made a new friend in her own fur baby! Wonton is tuckered out from playing! Thank you again Wendy!”
“5/5! Achara had great communication and she was amazing with my puppy! My puppy didn't even look back at me when I dropped him off 🫠 Photo updates made me feel at ease and she reassured me that he was doing well. Will definitely rebook with her when I need a sitter again!”
“Brandee is a dog whisperer! We’re so thankful to have found her. We needed a dog sitter two times in 10 days and our pup couldn’t have been at a better place.”
“It was the absolute best experience. Cristal was constantly communicating to give us updates on our pup and what his day looked like. We got pictures every day to see him playing and napping which brought us so much peace of mind. On top of that she was so sweet and gave our dog her own treats because I forgot to pack some for him. If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would do so in a heart beat. I don’t think I would feel confortable boarding my pup anywhere else.”
“Qiana and Deuce were so amazing to us! They took us in last minute and was very flexible and understanding with modifications! Pictures and videos were sent throughout the whole time. Plus, they gave her a gift box at the end of her stay! 5 stars and would definitely take Azora back!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Thornton 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 Thornton.
<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 Thornton 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.
