About: Hi, I’m Rosie! I’m an experienced animal caregiver and I am very passionate about providing safe, loving care for every pet. I’ve known since I was little that I wanted to work with animals, and this opportunity allows me to continue building that path while I’m in college. Through my previous job, I gained hands on experience and a strong understanding that animal welfare always comes first. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! Since I’m currently taking college courses I am usually online finishing assignments but since I am online I make sure to keep my schedule flexible so I can provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. I’m always happy to communicate and find times that work best for you! Safety and trust are my top priorities during walks and drop-ins. I always ensure collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure before walks and stay aware of our surroundings to keep your dog safe and comfortable. As for drop-ins, I carefully follow your pet’s routine for potty breaks (or ensuring a clean litter box!), feeding, fresh water, and playtime. I double check that doors and gates are secure before leaving and treat your home with respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands!
About: Hi, I’m Mayra — a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on pet care experience! 🐶 I’ve had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember — from small pups to playful companions — and caring for them has always brought me joy. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pup enjoys walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m here to provide dependable, affectionate care tailored to their needs. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making your pet feel right at home. Let’s make sure your furry friend gets the love they deserve! Working part-time from home gives me plenty of time to care for your furry friend—alongside my own dog, they'll be in great company to each other. I have a fenced yard just for the doggies and one friendly Aussie doodle to keep them company. Of your furry guys has a crate we can definitely accommodate.
About: I grew up helping train and care for dogs for the past 15 years! Having a positive attitude and good energy for all animals alike! My schedule is pretty much open weekly now so there is time to play and care and be there for the clients dogs and puppies! Have a home with a big backyard, fenced and secure for my own and all clients fur babies, crates are available if needed as well!
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.
About: I’ve been working with dogs for the better part of my life. I started off volunteering at the local animal shelter when I was 10- walking dogs and spending time sitting in kennels with dogs who were too scared to be leashed. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes- with personalities that vary from social butterflies to the pups that take their time to feel comfortable in new situations. Our day starts off bright and early- we go out for our first potty break around 5:30am. Breakfast tends to be around 6-6:30, unless a guest pup is on a different schedule. Daycare drop off usually starts around 7 or so. My dogs are crated during drop off to help reduce stress and acclimate pups easier. ***Please note that my home is 4/20 friendly.*** My yard is fenced and secure. I have a dog door for easy access to outside but also go out with my dogs for potty breaks and playtime in the yard throughout the day. I provide kennels for dogs that need them and there are gates to ensure the safety of our guests.
“Amy was fantastic with our older cat who requires medicine everyday. I wasn't worried at all about him while we were gone and she was great about communication with us! I definitely recommend her!”
“Chanel was absolutely wonderful watching Shadow while I was away! She sent great updates, took amazing care of her, and gave me complete peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Chrystina went above and beyond for my cats! I felt like I had kind of a lot of instructions, but she followed them completely to the letter. In addition, she did some extra stuff like sweeping up and she even fixed a scratching post. I will definitely be reaching out to her next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Cassandra was great with our two boys! They felt very comfortable with her from the start. She sent lots of updates and photos and we came home to two happy dogs. We will definitely book with her again!”
“We had an amazing experience with Jori watching our dog, Minni, for two days. She was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates and photos that kept us at ease while we were away. Minni clearly had a blast, thanks to all the playtime and care Jori provided. She even went the extra mile by bringing in our packages and checking on the house, which was a huge help. We highly recommend Jori and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!😊”
“Carlie always takes the most amazing care of my cats when I’m away! I get detailed updates and plenty of pictures of them which puts my mind at ease knowing she’s the one watching them. She’s also able to give my cat his medicine even when he’s feeling picky. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I’ve always been great with pets sense i was a child, I currently have a shitzuh that’s 10 years old! I treat all animals as if they are my child & give them all the love & attention they need! I have a flexible schedule as of right now, so i am available from Monday-Sunday & some holidays! I can accommodate you & your pups needs! I love taking my dog on long walks & i would love to do the same for yours aswell. I will always make sure to have what your pet needs! I live in a apartment complex so here i would only be able to take care of one of your pets but at your home i will willingly take care of as many as you have!
“Alyssa is the best! She checked-in on my two cats over the holidays and was very communicative on what time she’d be stopping by so I never had to wonder when I’d be getting an update. She sent photo updates every day and I could tell my cats were being played with and having fun. She even managed to coax my shy cat out from under the bed for some pets and play time. I also came home to a sparkling place; all food bowls had been washed and litter area swept, thank you! I highly recommend Alyssa and will be using her for all my future sittings. ?”

It was such a relief to find Kayli before my trip abroad! She has been incredibly reliable on weekly walks when I’m in the office and then stayed with my two pups for 10 days. Kayli is warm and professional, and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my furbabies are in good hands. She also took great care of my home and it was lovely to come home to it as I left it. Thank you, Kayli!
Noel was absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog, Ursula, during her drop in visits while we were away. She provided thoughtful updates and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our favorite part was seeing Ursula’s silly personality shine through in the pictures. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy, and had so much fun with Noel. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup and could not have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with Noel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable Rover.
I have been looking for a consistent person to watch my dog and Taylor is the perfect fit!! Mello loves her so much and she takes care of him like he is her own! I came home to a happy healthy dog!! I am so glad I found taylor and will continue to book with her moving forward. Thank you so much Taylor!!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
