“Sydney did a great job. She was willing to drop in for my dogs with short notice. She was flexible and kind, and our dogs loved her. She shared pictures with both drop ins, and the dogs were visibly happy and healthy. Thanks so much!”
“Becca was great, she came to visit Kitty everyday, sent us pictures and by the end of the week I think Kitty was warming up to her! We will definitely use her again for our next trip.”
About: Hello! I am a part time dog walker- pet sitter who can also provide drop in bathroom services of needed. I've owned and cared for dogs of all sizes my entire life , and I'm comfortable with high-energy breeds and senior care. Whether your dog loves long walks or just some fetch, I will treat them exactly like my own. Part time pet care is perfect for my daily routine allowing time for workouts and home care that calls for a flexible schedule which pet care provides. I have a large backyard (perfect for fetch) full shaded porch with plenty of water (small kiddies pool optional for hot days) and a secure fence and gate .
About: Animal lover alert! I have a deep love and connection for all living things, especially cats and dogs. I currently have three, yes THREE, cats of my own. I grew up with very large dogs, and spent a lot of my free time sitting for friends and family. I have experience with baby animal care, including bottle feeding kittens. I have the patience and steady hand for seniors and animals that require more care. I’m not afraid to administer medication or handle behavioral issues. I am responsible, knowledgeable, and have a keen eye for detail. Above all, I love learning and spending time with pets! My schedule is currently quite flexible during the weekdays, and weekends are open for more involved care. Currently, my part time job allows me to adjust my schedule weekly, sometimes daily, since our work is project based. I have the ability to go on day-of walks or quick drop ins on demand depending on the day and time. Your house, your rules! I can accommodate whatever needs are necessary based on the type of pet you have and how your home is set up. I’m happy to uphold any routine! Special instructions are my speciality.
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Bowie! She was incredibly affectionate and attentive, making sure he felt loved and comfortable the entire time I was away. Grace did such a fantastic job that I could travel with total peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”
“Kay went above and beyond when we had her stop in and check on our doggo a few times while we were away. Detailed updates and quality pictures. A true professional!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I would love another pet, but don’t have the time, so taking care of others when I am available would be perfect. My brothers girlfriends has asked me several times to take care of her 9 y/o pup, as well as having to take or animals that more high maintenance. All cats and dogs are babies to me no matter how old they are and deserve the most gentle care possible. I’m currently considered full time at Target, working at least 30 hours a week as well as being in college full time. I’m a double major in Criminal justice and psychology and plan to go to law school once I obtain my degrees. I like to be busy, so adding an extra responsibility would be perfect. Most of my week is full, however Sundays are completely free and I figured why not get a little extra money while taking care of fur babies. While, I will likely stick to just walking dogs. I do have a fenced in yard for any special occasion. I do have a dog, that usually likes puppies more than older dogs, but again I likely will not bring other pups into my home.

“This was my first time using Rover and I am embarrassed to say, but I think Amy treated my dogs better than we do! I am afraid they won’t want me back! I am definitely going to be using Amy when we will be out of the house for extended periods of time! I loved the pictures and updates. I just hope they don’t run away trying to live with Amy!”
“Susan is a friendly pet loving friend. She immediately warmed the heart of our pup and he warmed up to her putting our hearts at ease. She proved loving care to him and we could tell he was happy. I recommend her services to all.”
“McKenna took great care of our 2 cats while we were out of town. She fed them, played with them, and gave them attention. She left our house just as clean as when we left and took care of a excited eater's vomit. The cats love having her visit and we know they are in good hands.”

Taylor was amazing! She made sure our dogs got plenty of attention and was able to work us in around her work schedule. Both our dogs warmed up to her as soon as they met her and seemed like happy pups all weekend while we were away. We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter to come to your house and would use her again!
Rachel was amazing helping with Minni! She was super professional, responsive, and clearly cared about doing a great job. Everything went smoothly, and we felt completely comfortable leaving Minni in her care. We really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. Highly recommend!
Bailey is fantastic! She came over for a drop-in visit and my dog took to her immediately—he loved her from the second she walked in the door. She was perfectly on time and super professional. It’s such a relief to find someone reliable who my dog is genuinely excited to see. I’ll definitely be booking again

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Thornton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Thornton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Thornton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
