“Timea was great with Blanko and made sure he was comfortable and safe during the fireworks on the 4th. She was very communicative and gave plenty of updates. Will be using her services again”
“Jed is awesome! Truly was super communicative, responsive and kept me up to date on a constant basis. He is the most communicative and attentive dog sitter I have ever met. Super thankful for his help with my dog! I’m glad I met him!”
“My dog LOVES Georgia’s house. We had used her as a sitter last year, and when we pulled up to the house this time the dog went RUNNING to the door. It was such a relief knowing the dog is happy here. Georgia also sent lots of pictures and communicated with me throughout the stay.”
“Jill was wonderful watching our dog Phoenix. Phoenix had a blast and felt right at home, she didn’t want to leave. She provided daily pupdates and photos. Highly recommend her!”
“Lilly was amazing while watching my dog Reeses. My fiance and I went to AZ for 5 nights to get married, and Lilly made it so that we weren't worried about Reeses at all. She sent a picture everyday with an update of how Reeses was doing. Lilly made sure Reeses felt like it was her home as well an was very patient with her. Before I decided to book with her, I wanted to make sure Reeses and her dog Luna got along so she agreed to meet with me at a dog park so the dogs could meet, and we could meet. Luna is wonderful with other dogs and took on the bigger sister role for Reeses which is exactly what she needed. I would definitely recommend booking with Lilly and I will be booking with her in the future.”
“Our dog Lycan literally cries with excitement when he knows he is going to see Tyran and his family. They always take great care of our pup, send good photos everyday, and are always so accommodating. I would highly recommend their services!”
“Tiffany and her family are such sweet people. I went on a short vacation and Tiffany watched Bella, while I was away. Bella has a great time playing with her dogs. A big huge yard to run in! Bella had a vacation herself. Tiffany gave me many updates on Bella. Thank you so much for helping me!”
“Extremely helpful and reliable during the holidays after initial plans for my travel had changed. My dog is so comfortable and happy there and it’s great knowing I can rely on a fantastic sitter!”
About: I have taken care of my friends and all my families dogs by housing, grooming or walking. I used to show dogs be a junior handler and train all kinds of dogs for obedience, confirmation and agility. We work from home, so we are home all day and week. We have a 5 year old cane corso and a 1 year old winner dog both males and a 12 year old female cat. I let out my dogs whenever they want to go outside they get fed twice a day morning and night. They get new toys every month from bark box. We used to make dog food but our dogs are picky and don’t like the same food all the time.
“Nyssa is always so helpful whenever we have to go on a trip or travel last minute. She is understanding, kind, and communicative. Also, she gets adorable and fun photos, which is a great bonus when we are missing our pup while we are away!”
“Elisha was very caring and took great care of our pup. She sent lots of pictures and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. I would highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby!”
“Scout had the absolute best time on his stay! He spent his days playing with the kids (who he adored) and his nights getting welcomed into snuggle sessions — he honestly may not have wanted to come home. Sarah, Clay, and family went above and beyond, administering his daily medication and supplements without a hitch, which gave us total peace of mind while traveling. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and tons of great photos that made us feel like we were right there with him. She even dropped him off at the end of the stay. We couldn't recommend her more highly — Scout will definitely be back!”
“Charlene took amazing care of my dog Daisy while I was away. She came back happy and relaxed, and I appreciated the updates throughout. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“My dog has an overnight stay with this family and they were wonderful with her! Our dog is so attached to us (and we have no other pets) so she can be picky about what humans and other dogs she trusts and enjoys. I appreciate that she was allowed free access around their house. Most of all, I loved seeing the genuine happiness of Ashley and Jeremy’s boys for hosting. I’m so glad to have found someone that will give us peace of mind that she’s well taken care of when we’re away.”
“Megan was quick to respond. We had a meet & greet to make sure our dog would do well while we were gone, which helped me feel better. She sent lots of updates and pictures! Our pup came home with conjunctivitis, but he was happy and enjoyed his stay.”
“Jack was awesome with Leon! A great communicator, reliable, and I picked up Leon - he was exhausted from all of the exercise and fun that Jack provided. Could not ask for a better sitter to watch my boy!”
“My dog did great with Delane and her family while we were gone for over two weeks. Delane kept in great touch with photos and my dog got to enjoy the fenced in back yard and some other dog friends. He had a great stay!”
“I’m happy Kay could watch my dog for the weekend. She had other dogs there to play and her house/big yard was the right setting for him. I got a picture update and Kay was very professional through the process. Thanks again Kay”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Paris was great in watching Rocky during my extended vacation! It’s always difficult for me to leave Rocky for even a weekend, let alone almost 2 weeks! Paris and her kids were very loving with Rocky while I was away, they sent daily updates and was easy to tell they took great care of him. I’ll be returning for my future pet-sitting needs!!
Sara was absolutely incredible, she welcomed Banjo right in and made him feel safe and at ease. She kept me updated with pics the entire time and just has the best personality. I highly highly recommend her for all your doggy needs, she’s the only person I’ll be booking with from here forward.
Althea had the best time during her stay with Chris. She has been sleeping since haha! As all other reviews say, Chris sends regular picture updates throughout the day which are so fun to look through. I felt at ease while I was away knowing Althea was having a great time. Chris was also super flexible and patient with our pick up time since our flight got delayed more than once. We were so thankful for his patience! We would definitely recommend Chris!
Julia is hands down the best sitter I have found in all of Colorado - she is caring, responsive, reliable and accommodating. She takes amazing care of Janet (my corgi) and even made her birthday special while I was away which was beyond sweet :) Could not recommend a better person to care for your pet!
Jed & Nashelli watched Teddy for a week and sent us multiple pictures per day which was greatly appreciated. Our doodle is a fussy eater, was thankful that they accommodated his eating related drama. Will definitely consider them again the next time we are on vacation
Amazing sitter for my dogs! I usually use a friend just because Bentley is reactive to other dogs and they usually know his personality so I was a bit nervous at first. Eli was very patient at the first meeting and looked like my dogs settled in quickly! Will definitely recommend him again!!!
Elisha was a great sitter for Beans and took such wonderful care of him. She sent lots of pics and he looked like he was being treated with lots of love and affection. She was there when I dropped him off and picked him up and he looked happy and without any anxiety or stress. I would definitely trust her when I next need someone to take care of him in my absence!
Susan was outstanding taking care of my baby. She asked questions which gave me confidence in how she was going to understand my dog better. My dog had the zoomies and was so relaxed in Susan's care. No stress at drop off or pick up. Quick communication. Loving and caring household. I highly recommend!
Melissa was fantastic! She was accommodating and super flexible with a last minute stay. Her kind and friendly personality made it easy for our dog to feel comfortable. We received regular updates and photos of Frankie. We’re confident he had a blast and we couldn’t be happier with her care. Highly recommend, will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Thornton on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 6,277 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.
