“Amanda and her family are wonderful! My dog is a big boy and they are able to handle him. I can tell he has a great time because he is exhausted when he gets back. I have them walk him twice a week.”
About: I live in the Sacramento Delta in a quiet neighborhood. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice fenced corner lot yard for your pup to run around in. I live with my elderly father who enjoys meeting new doggy friends. 24 hr supervision since I work remotely! I’m an early riser and enjoy morning walks. Your doggy will recieve a good amount of outdoor time and have an active and stimulating day. I’m comfortable with your dog sleeping in bed with me but respect if you prefer them to sleep in a crate. I work remotely so I have no issue staying at your house as well!

About: A dog’s trust is earned, and I’ve had many experiences with dogs of various sizes, temperaments and ages. I volunteer at an animal shelter, which has allowed me to pick up on behaviors and quirks, and improved my ability to adapt to anything unpredictable. Safety and comfortability is my utmost priority, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try my hardest to make sure your dog is having fun! I am a uni student, so my free time may vary depending on the day. However I am pretty flexible with time when I’m not commuting or in class, as school is my biggest obligation at the moment. I am easy to reach so I can also send more updates when there’s changes in my schedule. I value safety and comfortability as I believe pets should be regarded on the same level as children. Pets are a lifelong commitment and responsibility, without safety, they can’t feel comfortable. I truly believe animals are the happiest when they feel safe. I currently have a cat who stays indoors but is given the opportunity to go outdoors when the weather is nice (under supervision). She has plenty of toys to keep her mind stimulated, places to hide if she feels overwhelmed, and comfy areas for her to snooze in.
“I don’t know what we’d do without Hans! Probably never be able to leave town again! He’s wonderful with our leash reactive anxious mess, and we came home to a dog who heeled much better than when we left!”

I have very high energy and I love playing with animals whether that’s outside playing or inside playing . I have experience with giving medications , bottle feeding , ect. So no challenge is too daunting for me to take on when it comes to ensuring safety and comfort of your pet . I have completely open availability! I’m not currently doing anything else for work. That means I can give your critters my full undivided attention :◂) I’d love to treat your animals the way I treat mine , and let me tell you my babies are SPOILED with love and care .
About: I had a beagle from age 6 to 22. From 22 to 36 I had a Maine Coon. I currently have 2 cute ginger cats and a fat grey and white cat. Everyone was a rescue! I own a small business and work from home. I can get to your home in the Elk Grove area very easily and quickly to visit with your critters. We prepare fresh meals for our cats. We haver cat backpacks and crates to transport them around. They like to visit outside and pretend they are still wild. One likes to explore. The other two are afraid of their shadows.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs cats even a horse once. I am really good animals i’m patient kind and i’m really good at following instructions I am able to work with a flexible schedule. weather it’s during the week or on weekends. I can do mornings or i can do nights I have a backyard and a patch of grass for our two dogs. we also have to water bowls. they each have there own food bowls feed them in the morning and in the evening and take them for walks. For our cat I let her outside and bring in before dark she also as two water bowls and to food bowls
About: My experience comes from owning not just dogs (XL-XS) and cats, but many animals in my lifetime. To me, living with these animals is the best way to gain experience. I have also done many house sitting jobs for people with lots of pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing. To me, the most important thing is establishing trust with your sitter, and I am a guaranteed safe person to trust any animal with. I’m great at reading animal body language and typically do well with all pets. I work at Panera, so my hours are not crazy, and never are usually longer than 4 hours, so pet sitting works great with my schedule. My college is also online so that doesn’t effect my schedule for the most part. In a clients home, it’s important to follow all of the instructions they provide, while also making their pets feel as if the owners never left.
“Liz has been great with Daisy! She is very responsive to messages and questions, always responding within a few minutes. She takes great pictures and provides details of Daisy's walk. It's very reassuring to have someone I can trust to take care of my baby!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Thornton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Thornton.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thornton. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
