“We’ve had Chris care for our Standard Poodle a few times, and he always sends LOTS of pictures and is a great communicator. Our dog has lots of energy to burn, and he gets plenty of playtime with other dogs and with Chris. We know Ozo is in great hands with Chris, which really puts our mind at ease. Thanks, Chris!”
“Jed was very accommodating in being willing to do a meet and greet and then look after Val on short notice. He was additionally waiting in the driveway to take her in and waiting with her to to be picked up at the agreed upon drop off and pick up times. Definitely a good sitter!”
“Kimber takes excellent care of the pups while I’m away. They’re always excited when I drop them off at her place and are tired when I get them home. She also sends daily pictures of them. Highly recommend”
“My dog had such a blast with Tiffany and family! Tiffany took great care of her and sent the best pictures throughout my trip. Will definitely work with Tiffany again in the future!”
“We had a great experience with a "test run overnight" for our pup with Ty and his family. Our very active mini goldendoodle seemed to do great and we've booked another stay for a trip we're planning around the holidays! Our pup seemed to enjoy playing with their dog as well as kids--thanks for a great overnight!”
“Rene did an exceptional job watching my pup and have already rebooked her multiple times for the future. Communication was great and my pup didn’t seem to want to leave!”
“It's hard to put into words just how wonderful our experience with Charlene was! From the moment we met them, we could tell they had a genuine love for animals, and our dog, Cocoa, clearly felt it, too. They were kind and gentle with him, sending us regular updates and photos showing him happy and relaxed. What truly impressed us, however, was Charlene's incredible understanding and flexibility when our flights home were significantly delayed. They were reassuring and didn't hesitate to extend their care for Cocoa without fuss. This relieved so much stress during a frustrating travel experience, and we are eternally grateful for their willingness to go the extra mile. Knowing Cocoa was in such capable and caring hands allowed us to navigate the travel chaos with much more peace of mind. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup, and that's all thanks to Charlene. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and genuinely understanding dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with them again in the future!”
“Elisha was fantastic. We boarded our 1 1/2 year old pug for 6 nights and it was our first time boarding our pup. Elisha made us feel so comfortable with leaving our pup in her hands. She sent us pics and videos less than 30 minutes after we left and kept sending pics/videos to us during the entire time our pup was with her. Our pug got along famously with her two puggles and it really helped us to know our pup had doggie company the entire time. Elisha was happy to give our pup his daily meds and usual food, as well as her homemade treats that our pup loved! Elisha is fantastic and we definitely hope she’ll be available for our next boarding or daycare needs! Thank you, Elisha!”
“We are regulars with Megan & Chris and we always joke that our dog is depressed when he has to leave their house to come back home. Moose always has so much fun, and Megan and Chris treat him like family. We are lucky to have them! 😊”
“This was our second time using Nyssa and our girls were well taken care of. We have a high energy puppy that she handles very well and an older dog who needs a lot of snuggles. Nyssa and her family treat our dogs like her own and even sent us adorable Halloween photos of them. Will definitely use her again.”
“Jenna and Jason watched our dogs while we were out of the country for a bit over a week. They made sure to go the extra mile to give lots of love and attention to our dogs, including walks, with daily updates, and were very attentive to their needs. We are very grateful to find such a great family and our pups look forward to their next stay or visit! Thank you!”
“Timea was great. Kept us up to date on our dogs and one of our dogs was having a hard time with separation anxiety, this was her first time staying somewhere she didn’t know, Timea hand fed her and made sure she felt safe and loved.”
“Jan & Patrick are wonderful! Ziggs had a great time while she was there. They sent updates and pictures during our weeklong holiday and I wouldn't hesitate to book them again!”
“She was amazing with him! From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced. He felt comfortable right away, and I could tell he was genuinely happy and well cared for. I really appreciated the updates and photos while I was away — it gave me total peace of mind. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.”
“Kimberly was beyond AMAZING. We are so grateful we found her and she was able to accommodate us and take care of our two dogs. She was quick to respond, sent updates/ photos and obviously loved having extra critters in her home! Our dogs came back super happy, well taken care of and some how cleaner and smelling better than when they left. Thank you so much again, Kimberly!”

Jed was fantastic. Highly communicative, lots of photos, and he took great care of my dog, Bodhi. On the night of pick up, my flight got delayed by three hours meaning I didn’t get to his house until midnight. No problem. When I finally pulled up, he was still there ready with Bodhi. Really appreciate the flexibility and care.
We absolutely love having Sara watch Kiwi! We’ve had her stay a couple of times now, and Kiwi always gets so excited when she knows she’s going to Sara’s. She has a blast playing with Sara’s puppy, playing in the little pool, and the ball playpen. Kiwi always comes home happily tired! Sara sends daily updates and takes great care of her. We highly recommend Sara!

We are very grateful to find such a great family and our pups look forward to their next stay or visit! Thank you!
Third stay and this one was a longer international trip. Daisy always runs right into Martha’s home indicating she just loves it there! We always miss our pup while traveling but Martha makes us at ease knowing Daisy is well-cared for while we can’t have her with us.
Jill was amazing! This was my first time boarding a pup with Rover and she made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving for a vacation out of the country. I received multiple picture and video updates per day and it's clear my dog recieved a lot of love while I was gone. Lots of play time, snuggles in blankets, running around outside & sunbathing, and so much attention :) I would 10/10 recommend Jill to watch your dog!
We absolutely love Magdalena and we truly couldn’t be happier with her care! She went above and beyond to get to know Frankie, which really speaks to her caring and friendly personality. From the thoughtful daily updates, photos and videos we received, we could tell Frankie was having a blast with plenty of play time and felt right at home with Magdalena. If you’re seeking a trustworthy and caring sitter, Magdalena is undoubtedly the perfect choice. Frankie formed a genuine connection and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Amelia was so great. Just 2 days before our trip, my doggo had to go to the ER which resulted in a bland diet for the first few days of his stay that i had to prep. I was so worried it would cause Amelia stress, but she had no issue whatsoever taking that on! She even was so great to go above and beyond and provide some extra support getting my dog to his next sitter after her care. She is very thoughtful and I knew my guy was in good hands! Im excited to have another sitter I can go to!
This is our second time having Susan watch our dog Sophie, and Sophie was so excited to see them when we got to their house. Susan provided great updates, and when our flights got delayed she was very accommodating to our changing pickup schedule / process. We will absolutely be back to have Susan watch Sophie again ❤️😊

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Thornton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 6,310 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Thornton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Thornton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Thornton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
Tip: 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 CO 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.
