Top rated Thornton dog sitters

“Niki was wonderful with our 80 lb German shepherd, who is very high energy and usually weary of new people! She gave great updates, sent us lots of pics, and our pup really loved his time with her. Thanks again, Niki!”


“We would highly recommend Becca! She was reliable, followed through with all instructions, has a great deal of experience with dogs, and loved our fur baby as her own!”


“Stephany was awesome! She came to my home 2 times a day to take care of my little dog. Each time she made sure to take her out and on a nice long walk, filling up food bowl, and even cleaned up when my dog didn’t have a little accident. She wrote the best notes giving lots of details, so I didn’t have to worry how my girl was doing. I always looked forward to the picture she sent each day!”


“Rebekah has been an amazing sitter for me and my pups as we transition through a difficult move. She is responsible, punctual, and communicative. She has also administered meds to them which has been super helpful. I highly recommend Rebekah any owner who needs pet services!”


“Sydney was amazing! She sent beautiful pictures and gave me updates on my boys and the house regularly. Everything was left in good condition and she gave my little guys their cookies and meds. Thank you Sydney.”


“Rachel was great with our pups! She provided solid play time and tired out my energetic dogs, and kept us updated with pics and summary of the visit. I highly recommend her to watch your first babies!”


“Absolutely amazing care Amanda gave my kitties. I love that she is so responsive and on the ball, which is very important as one of my kitties has Diabetes and needs insulin. She is the best and I’m so lucky to have found her!! !❤️🐈⬛🐈⬛”


“We appreciate Bryanna’s care of our five month old puppy! She is well taken care of and happy to see her. I appreciate Bryannas excellent communication, confirming pet sitting, and being available as needed!”


About: I've never known a home without furbabies, they complete the family! I grew up with dogs and cats and always watched over, walked, and took care of my neighbor's animals when needed. I spent a few years working for a dog walking company and my heart had never been more full! I currently work remotely, making my schedule open and completely flexible so that your furbabies are a priority. My pup loves routine and sticking to a schedule so I understand the importance of helping you maintain that for your babies too. I prioritize the well-being and comfort of your pets above all else. I follow any specific instructions provided by the pet parent to ensure continuity of care and to accommodate the unique needs of each pet. This includes adhering to feeding schedules, administering medications if necessary, and maintaining a safe and clean environment. I approach each pet with patience and understanding, allowing them to adjust to my presence at their own pace. For dogs, I ensure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation as needed. Whether it's a leisurely walk around the neighborhood or engaging in their favorite activities, I strive to keep them happy and healthy during our time together.

About: I have been around dogs and cats all of my life. I love animals of all kinds and will take care of them like they’re my own. I work from home so would be able to be there for the fur babies throughout the whole day. I never leave for more than 3-4 hours if that at a time. I would come to your home and stay over night. I will follow your instructions on how you would like for me to care for your furry baby(s) and make sure they are well cared for and loved.

About: I've spent my whole life with a canine by my side, with the exception of my year away at college and a year when I lived with cats instead. Recently lost my best friend to cancer without warning, they say grief is love with no where to go and so I've turned to Rover as we are in a transitional period that does not allow for our own full-time friend but instead allows me to full-time love on others friends. Recently purchased our new 3000+ sq ft home with a back yard in a nice little suburban neighborhood. There's walking paths and green belts and if your friend is good at the park, we can even go visit some of the nearby dog parks on the long-hauls. My fiance & I eventually plan to bring a doggo of our own home again but in the mean time we look forward to hanging with yours. No stranger to special dietary instructions, picky eaters, and big personalities - as long as we aren't having inside accidents (the carpets are white) then we're happy to meet you! Need someone to come to you instead? You've got it. Willing to travel anywhere within the Denver Metroplex; Boulder to Fort Collins, Golden to Castle Rock, and every where in between - with enough notice we can make sure any furry friend is looked after and walkin'. I'm currently seeking full-time work so my schedule is open to hang with your pup all day! I may have random errands or things to do but if we are scheduled to be together, your pup is my priority. We have a fenced yard where your friend can hang in the sun of the morning or shade of the afternoon. We have a neighborhood with great walking paths & green belts as well as a short walk to some of the great city green areas. If your doggo is park friendly, we can jump in the car and go to the park for a romp or if they like water, maybe a lake day? The sky is the limit, and I'm happy to give a good rinse if we end up doing something stinky! I have a crate in-house that fits up to a 75 lb dog comfortably, if for whatever reason your friend cannot join me out of the house (which does happen, especially in the summer), your friend would be crated. The crate has a small water dish, though some do prefer we do not add water so it's up to you. My late friend got Bark Box for many years and was very picky about his toys so there's a good chance your friend will have a new toy here to play with, or perhaps the toy box will come up to play from the basement with the really playful friends! Our home is 3000+ sq ft with a basement and upper level; there are stairs so if your friend is mobile impaired and stairs are hard we may not be the right fit (though I'm always happy to carry smaller friends up/down if need be, I max about 35 lbs lift). There are doors on all of our rooms, these are likely to be closed if your friend is visiting. We try to keep trash cans up and off the floor with 85% of our cans covered/dogproof. If your friend is a trash diver please let us know so we can secure the other trash cans accordingly. Dog friends tend to get to sleep where they wish in our home, though if your friend has a favorite bed/soft place then I would welcome it into the house for their comfort.

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.

“Cassidy took great care of our pups while we were gone for a week. She provided detailed updates and even hand fed our stubborn German Shepherd mix who wasn’t eat much. We’ll definitely book Cassidy again.”


“Krystal was an incredible pet sitter while I was out of town. She was thorough and communicative, she went above and beyond in caring for our pet family, she sent highly detailed updates and tons of wonderful photos. Highly recommended—especially for anyone anxious about leaving a pet at home.”


“Glory was great and took perfect care of my Dali! She also provided the cutest pictures of him. I would definitely recommend and use her again if I need someone to check in on my cat in the future :)”

Felicity & Sean C.
“Felicity has been an animal lover her whole life. She loves spoiling animals with love, attention and treats (if allowed). If she says she will be there at 5 to walk the dog, she will be there. She is very cognizant of the physical well-being and health of any animal she watches. Her home has a wonderful fenced back yard to run and play, and possibly chase the occasional squirrel along the fence. There is a huge box of toys and room to lay around. My own dog thinks she hung the moon! I would be willing to leave my dog in her care without hesitation. When my dog visits, she gets walks, playtime, and fed on time. No worries for me! I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.”
