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.

About: Hi, I’m Khyli! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve been providing dependable pet care for over 14 years. What started as helping friends, family, and neighbors has grown into a passion and career I truly love. I’m currently a pre-veterinary student and enrolled in a Veterinary Medicine program, so I’m always expanding my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and compassionate care. My goal is to become a veterinarian, and every pet I care for is treated with the same patience, respect, and attention I’d give my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, you can count on me to provide reliable, loving care that fits their unique routine and personality. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. That’s why I prioritize communication, consistency, and plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday potty break, daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your routine. I know consistency is important for pets, so I always strive to keep them on their normal schedule as much as possible I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone else because they’re family. My goal is to make that process as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. I’ll always follow your care instructions, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re doing well while you’re away.

About: I do in kennel enrichment and dog walking at the SPCA. It has educated me a lot about positive reinforcement training, desensitization, compassion, and counter conditioning within dog behavior. I am very understanding of every dog's different temperaments and boundaries. I am the proud owner of Max, an 11 year old Pitbull who has been my best friend for over a decade. I am available anytime after 12pm, where your dog’s established routine becomes my priority. Whether they need strict mid-day feeding times or frequent potty breaks throughout the afternoon, I will be there for your pet. I am able to offer consistent, focused attention, structured enrichment, and companionship exactly when your pet needs it most. Safety is my top priority, with SPCA volunteer training and 11 years with my senior Pitbull, Max. In your home, I strictly follow your routine, maintain your house rules, and ensure all doors and gates stay locked and secure. On walks, my shelter experience means I am hyper-aware of our surroundings, good at reading dog body language, and fully confident being your dog's handler. I will send you regular photo updates so you have total peace of mind.

“Had to leave our cats for about a week. Just asked for a daily check-in and feeding. Also did ask for her to try to give our little girl Mei a daily pill. We figured Mei would disappear and give her no chance. But she got her her medicine every day except for the first day. Impressive. Also cleaned up some cat sick. Very happy. And cats seemed very happy.”

About: Loving, Experienced Care for Your Dogs 🐾 I’ve been around dogs and caring for family dogs since I was 10 years old, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I treat my dogs like family my dog Hunter and my dog Rose is truly like my children and I would provide that same level of love, attention, and care to your dog. I’m currently available and working from home, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for dogs. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends depending on your scheduling needs. I have a fully vaccinated household with just myself, my husband, and our two dogs, Hunter and Rose. Hunter is a very friendly, well-behaved dog who enjoys going to the dog park almost every day. He gets along wonderfully with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities and is also very friendly with people and children. Rose is our sweet girl who is lovely, affectionate, and incredibly smart. She has a wonderful personality and is comfortable around other dogs. Both Hunter and Rose are used to being part of our everyday family life, so visiting dogs will have plenty of opportunities for companionship and socialization if they are comfortable with it. A Comfortable, Dog-Friendly Home I have a home with a private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I **pick up after the dogs every day** to keep the yard clean and comfortable. They have elevated dog beds for relaxing, a kiddie pool filled with toys for playtime, and a backyard fan to help keep them comfortable when spending time outside. Dogs staying with us will also have **24/7 access to the inside of our home through a large doggy door**, so they can move freely between the house and backyard whenever they need to. They will be treated as part of the family and are welcome to spend as much time indoors as they want. In addition to plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day, visiting dogs will receive **at least one walk every day**, with additional activity and outdoor time depending on their individual needs, energy level, and comfort. My goal is to make every dog staying with us feel safe, loved, comfortable, and at home while their family is away. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone else, so I want you to have peace of mind knowing they are receiving attentive, loving care in a home environment. In addition I send pictures and videos daily to give you updates on how your doggy is doing. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because my dogs are a big part of my everyday life. I’m currently available during the week and have a flexible schedule as I work from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care. I’m able to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, meals, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also make sure the yard is cleaned daily and that the dogs have a safe, comfortable environment to relax and play. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for while their families are away. I care for pets as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, meals, and potty breaks. In my home, they have access to a safe, clean, and comfortable indoor and outdoor space. I also follow each pet’s individual routine and needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Celeste! 🐾 I’m a friendly, passionate animal lover who has been working with animals since 2018. I started my career working at a boarding facility, where I cared for dogs and cats and handled their day-to-day needs, including feeding, administering medications, and providing plenty of exercise and enrichment through walks, fetch, swimming, and agility. As I gained experience, I moved into dog training and have worked with puppies through adult dogs of all breeds. I have experience teaching everything from basic obedience to advanced training. I’ve also worked in a veterinary hospital, giving me additional experience caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. I also offer basic grooming services upon request, including baths, blow-drying, nail trims, and ear cleaning. 🛁🐶 I have a fully fenced yard where your dog can safely play, explore, and potty. I also have a separate room where your dog can relax, decompress, or be crated if that is part of their normal routine. Since I don’t currently have any pets of my own, your dog can enjoy a calm environment without having to share their space with other resident animals. 🧼 Clean & Safe Environment Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority! I sanitize my yard daily and use kennel-grade cleaning products throughout my home, crates, and yard to maintain a clean and sanitary environment for every pet in my care. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, and I want you to feel confident knowing they are safe, comfortable, cared for, and treated like family while you’re away. ❤️🐾 I’m a stay at home mom looking to earn more income! I have always been around animals in my last jobs and this is a way to still do that while being home! I treat pets in my home as if they are mine. I follow the instructions for feedings provided by the owners. I have plenty water set out for the pets during play times or walks. I can do training sessions while your pets are here or offer grooming services for the departure.

“I hesitate to leave a raving review on Amber because she’s so Awesome that she’ll be high demand I won’t be able to book her again! I seriously can’t say enough about the comfort I felt leaving my fur baby in Amber’s care. She loves on our Miley like she’s her own. She was prompt to all 3 drop in visits for several days in a row. Miley absolutely loves her and my dog’s usually a little timid and scared of strangers. I not only felt very comfortable having Amber take care of Miley but also come into our house each day.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Thornton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Thornton is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 3,881 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thornton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thornton. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
