“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Lauren and Matt we an excellent choice for our fur babies. We received lots of updates, pictures and knew how our family was doing every step of the way. I will 100% rebook with these amazing people!”
“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.”
“Barbara was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of Remy while I was out of town and kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I really appreciated her communication and the care she showed Remy. I would definitely book with Barbara again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring 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!”
“Lily had such a great time and we appreciated all of the pictures and updates. From the first time we met during the meet and greet we knew it would be a great fit for our pup. We felt so relieved knowing she was in good hands while we were out of the country. She will be back!”
“Teryn was great! Our dog Norbert was immediately excited when we dropped him off at their house (when he’d only been there for the initial meet and greet previously). We got several updates when we were gone, and Teryn was always quick to respond on Rover! Would definitely book again.”
“Stephanie and Bobby are just wonderful. I use to dread any travel where I had to leave the dog but knowing they’ll be taking care of her while I’m away has made all the difference. Thank you!”
“Jaime and Mike took great care of Pi. They are always on top of photo updates and super helpful with providing care for him. He had an eye infection and they made sure to give him the drops and medicine to make him all better. Chili, her dog is so special too. Thank you again!”
“Ricardo was wonderful! This was our second time booking with him and he took great care of Jeter. Jeter came back home happy and tired! We look forward to booking with him again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Gayle! From the moment we connected she was vey professional, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. My dog can be a little anxious when I’m away, but they made sure she felt comfortable, safe, and loved the entire time. I really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and message. it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in such great hands. She followed all instructions perfectly and even went above and beyond to make sure my dog got plenty of playtime and attention. When I came back, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible dog sitter!”
“Brian was able to accommodate my pup relatively last minute over the holidays, which was great. My pup came home tired and happy. Brian’s dog Maeve is also super sweet!”
“Lynn and John are amazing! They not only last minute bailed us out when snow changed our plans but Lynn was awesome about sending plenty of pictures and communication about our girl. And Pippa came home bragging about what a fun time she had! Cannot recommend enough!”
“Matt is our favorite choice to watch our senior lab. He is wonderful with him, very communicative, great photos and take the best care of our dog. He is always depressed after coming home. Could not recommend Matt more!”
“Nicole and Billy were amazing hosts for Karl. If your fur baby need some play time while you are aways, this is a great opportunity. They are very kind hosts.”
“My little guy really loved his experience with Jay, and Jay really took the time to pay attention to my boy. He bought extra food when the Tupperware I brought broke, he noticed when my boy was slow to eat, and wanted to know how best to help him get up and move around (arthritis is so sad). My dog had a great time during his stay. I would definitely book with Jay again.”
“Leaving our doodle Juni is never easy because she’s our baby, but Yumiko gave us complete peace of mind. She took wonderful care of her for 9 days over the Fourth of July, sending thoughtful updates and photos twice a day, taking her on multiple walks, and giving her so much love and attention. We especially appreciated that she stayed home with the dogs during the fireworks so they would feel safe and comfortable. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. We highly recommend Yumiko and will absolutely book with her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Natalia and Felix were terrific! Easy to communicate with and scheduled a meet and greet right away! Their house was already set up to be dog friendly and they were very welcoming to our pup. You can tell they are true dog people at heart! We got regular updates and we could tell Bebe had the best time staying with Natalia and Felix! We will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them!
Kassidy went to great lengths to take care of our dog, give her medication, shared pictures and updates and even took extra steps when she noticed that our dog started to develop small rashes on her feet. We couldn't ask for better care. Kassidy gets five stars all around!
Sylvana is the best dog-sitter! My dog became part of the household and I received updates throughout each day and lots of photos. My dog seemed relaxed and happy! When I picked him up, he was excited, but also kept going over to Sylvana for more petting. We will definitely be returning again!
Jenna & Jason were amazing. They and their daughter spoiled my pup and sent me updates frequently. They also accommodated an extra night at last minute when I encountered some car issues on the way home, even helping me by dropping off my dog at home. Highly recommend!!!
Rene (and her family when home) gave Benjie a safe, secure, nurturing and loving place for his entire 9-day stay. She is a good communicator, texting questions when needed and sending pics every couple days. I felt such a relief when I dropped him off and knew that he was in a peaceful, loving environment. The day after I brought him home, he was very somber for the entire day and I knew he missed her and her wonderful family. Best experience ever!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Thornton is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $78 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 6,294 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Thornton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thornton home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
