“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!”
“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.”
“She was amazing! This was my first time doing Rover and she made it a very stress free experience. She took good care of my pup and he had a great time. Will rebook 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!”
“This was our first time ever boarding Aspen, and as nervous dog parents, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Jill. Aspen is an only child and can be a little needy and barky at times, and she definitely takes a while to warm up to new people. Before the stay, we asked if we could bring Aspen over briefly so she could meet Jill and get familiar with her and the environment. Jill was so kind and flexible in letting us do that, which gave both my partner and me so much peace of mind. To our surprise, Aspen warmed up to Jill and her yard immediately! Drop-off went smoothly, and throughout the weekend Jill took such great care of Aspen. She sent us photos and updates, which kept us in the loop and reassured us that our puppy was happy and doing well. She was also very flexible with pickup since we weren’t sure exactly when we’d be back in town, and that meant a lot. It was such a relief knowing our person-picky girl was in such good hands. We’re so grateful for the care and attention Jill gave Aspen and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful dog sitter!”
“Megan and her whole family are amazing! After searching for a new sitter for a while, we landed on Megan and Chris through a friend referral. They made me feel at such ease leaving our 2 dogs with them and we received updates daily that were greatly appreciated. The dogs came home exhausted in the best way! Can't wait to use them again!”
“Betty LOVED her stay at Chris'! Is was our first time using Rover, and our little pup is only 5 months old, so we were a little nervous to leave her for the first time, but we could not have chosen a better home for her! Thank you Chris for the many videos and photos when we were away, and for the best 4 days of Betty's life. She loved the pack and will be back!”
“Lilly and her husband were so sweet and caring of our dog Phil. Phil is treated a little bit like a baby thanks to our kiddos - so he’s spoiled to say the least. He’s not use to staying at others houses but did so great here! He was cuddled up to them in multiple photos and seemed so happy and at ease. We will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!”
“Charlene was excellent! She and her husband were friendly and put our minds at ease with our pups. She’s very knowledgeable about dog behavior and was helpful with our dog who was anxious! We will be back!”
“Kysseria is absolutely lovely and I am thankful for her taking care of Mandu for 7 days. Her prices are so affordable and reasonable! She sent pictures and videos throughout each day! Took her on multiple walks, played with, and her dog Denver got along very well with Mandu! Will definitely be utilizing her services again in the future!!!”
“Kodi had another great stay with Tiffany! She had so much fun playing outside and came back exhausted (which is always a win for a young Aussie). Tiffany always sends great pics and is very communicative.”
“My pup had a great time with Ashley and Jeremy! They were very quick to respond to messages and provided photos and updates daily. Drop off and pick up were also very easy and Ashley had everything ready to go. Would recommend!”
“Ken and Rachel made our shy cat feel comfortable enough to roam around their house and their other pets. He had such a great time, we will definitely choose them for Stoopert's next slumber party!”
“Elisha helped us out in a pinch and we are forever grateful!! We knew Nola was in great hands the whole time we were gone! Elisha asked such thoughtful questions, and cared for our pup as if she were her own. Nola had the best time!!”
“Second stay with Scout and just as fantastic! They followed his detailed care instructions to the letter and graciously extended the booking when my trip plans changed — saving me the hassle of finding a second sitter mid-trip. Flexible, reliable, and Scout loves them. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren and Matt were absolutely amazing with my dog, Mac, over the long weekend! From the start, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear they genuinely love dogs—they gave Mac so much love, attention, and excellent care. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. They kept me updated and made the whole experience stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lauren and Matt again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Mac!”
“Jan and Joe took wonderful loving care of my Maltese and seemed to enjoy him as much as I do! Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to enjoy my vacation.”

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 ❤️😊
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.
