“Timea and her husband were so great with my corgi! Luna does best in a Rover where she’s the only dog, so Timea was a rare find in my area! She has a spacious home, a backyard, AND still walked my dog a ton! I got so many updates which made me feel so at ease, too. I’d recommend Timea to anyone that needs their pups watched!”
“My dog had a great stay with Jed! Jed was very accommodating and responsive. My dog had tons of room to run around and play all day. We will definitely re-book with Jed.”
“Georgia did a great job taking care of our dog Melody. We were gone for two weeks, and Georgia made our dog very comfortable. Melody was so happy; she was reluctant to leave. We will definitely use This service again. Thank you, Georgia...”
“I loved it! Bruno was very careful, he had a lot of fun with his new friends, they did a perfect job with him!! and I have no doubts in recommending it!! It was very helpful!”
“Lilly was absolutely amazing!! We had some big last minute changes and Lilly was extremely accommodating. Peanut had so much fun with her and Luna. I would definitely recommend Lilly and will rebook with her again!”
“Charlie was great with my girls! They came home so happy and tired - two signs of a great Rover visit! They got lots of outside time and were well taken care of. Charlie accepted my super last minute booking and was flexible with pickup times also. I would have liked a little more communication throughout the weekend, but I did receive some photos and I knew they were in good hands! I would definitely recommend Charlie and book with her again 😊”
“We are so grateful to have found Tiffany, her partner, and their dog Willow to care for Ru while we were away. Tiffany asked thoughtful questions about her care needs and routine, and also accommodated our funky travel time. Ru came back clean, happy, and well taken care of. We’ll definitely ask Tiffany to watch her next time we’re out of town.”
“Goddard loved staying with Elisha! She met all of our needs and requests and sent frequent updates leaving no doubt that Goddard was happy and safe. She made sure to ask plenty of questions so that nothing was unclear with Goddard’s habits and routine. Her own 2 pups were very friendly as well.”
“Lauren and Matt were amazing with our two dogs. We have an older dog and a puppy that have very different requirements- including medication like eye drops. They sent updates with photos throughout the day and I felt totally comfortable our entire trip that our boys were well taken care of. We will be using them again!!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Susan and would absolutely trust her with Winnie again. Our 11-year-old Morkie, Winnie, has several health issues and requires multiple medications, so finding someone we feel comfortable leaving her with is incredibly important. Susan did a great job making sure Winnie received all of her medications and was well cared for throughout her stay. Susan was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Winnie loves to explore, and she had a great time enjoying Susan’s backyard, going on walks through the neighborhood, and spending time with Susan and her family throughout the day. When we picked Winnie up, it was clear that she felt comfortable and well cared for in their home. That meant so much to us. We would definitely ask Susan to dog sit again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and caring place for their dog while they are away.”
“Ashley and her family were wonderful! Such a sweet family. They took great care of Indie; who came home happy and exhausted. Thanks so much you guys!! Hope to see you again soon!”
“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!”

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!!!
We can’t recommend her enough! We’ve trusted her with our dog three different times now, and every stay has been fantastic. Our dog is extremely shy and picky about people, so the fact that she gets genuinely excited to see her says everything. We always get plenty of updates, photos, and messages throughout the day, which makes being away so much easier. It’s obvious she truly cares about the dogs she watches and treats them like family. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely great with dogs, she’s the one!
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!
Katelyn was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Barley, while we were away for 12 days. Barley is a high-energy Blue Heeler, so he isn’t always the easiest dog to keep up with, but Katelyn did an amazing job. She sent thoughtful updates and photos almost every day without us ever having to ask, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves dogs and cared for Barley like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with Katelyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable sitter!
Magdalena was amazing, Lucy loved her! We really appreciated the constant communication while we were gone. More importantly, we appreciated how much she loved Lucy and was super accommodating. Lucy was a little anxious and Magdalena made sure to make her comfortable and give her the time and care needed. Thank you so much Magdalena, really appreciate you 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Thornton on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,349 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.
