“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely wonderful experience! She took great care of Buzz and was very reliable and communicative throughout the week. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him, and I came home to a happy pup! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
About: I have had an interest in animals since before I could walk. Growing up watching animal planet over cartoons, I have always been fascinated by creatures of all shapes and sizes. From studying veterinary science, to volunteering at an animal shelter, to working at pet stores, and even reading current veterinary magazines and articles, I strive to continue my passion and involvement with animals. I have experience with complex feeding routines, medication application, as well as behavioral knowledge that I can apply to animals I care for. I am flexible and willing to accommodate your preferences and your pet's needs. I am a freelance artist who builds and manages their own schedule, with a desire to use my love for animals and knowledge of their care to take opportunities to get out of the house and do something I enjoy--- Meeting you and helping to take care of your baby! My schedule is flexible, I am easily able to work around your needs, especially on a repeat schedule. I do travel, but I always have ample notice, and will be able to inform you a month or two in advance if there is a conflict-- and plan a visit for my return! Comfort and safety are my top priorities when I care for your pet. I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand so that we can become familiar comfortably, and you can tell me all about your routines, preferences, and needs. I love to learn about my clients and what makes them happy!
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.
“Silvana is very easy to work with and friendly with Dogs. Lily loves going on walks with her and she cares for her. She takes great pictures of Lily while I’m at work that helps me know she is ok and in good hands. I would recommend having Silvana take care of your dog.”
“Grace has been so kind and accommodating with our little Luna! Even on days when our 11-year-old pup isn’t quite up for a walk, Grace still takes the time to bring her outside to a shady spot in the grass so she can enjoy some fresh air and the beautiful weather. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention she gives Luna”
“Cassidy is an absolutely fantastic dog walker!! She was always so flexible with my work schedule and always showed up to walk my pup!! If I wasn’t moving I would keep her forever:)”
About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for them from a young age, so making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved has always come naturally to me. At 19, I began caring for dogs professionally through Wag, where I gained experience walking and caring for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I’ve worked with everything from small Chihuahuas to larger breeds like Pit Bulls, sometimes caring for multiple dogs in the same day. My experience goes beyond walks as well. I’ve provided in-home dog sitting and understand the trust and responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet and respecting their home. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, routines, and personalities. I take the time to get to know each dog and follow their owner’s instructions closely while still making our time together fun, loving, and enjoyable. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and longer periods of care when needed. My flexible schedule also allows me to work around each pet’s normal routine, so they can stay comfortable and receive the care and attention they’re used to. When caring for pets in my home, I live in a pet-friendly, first-floor apartment that makes getting outside for walks and potty breaks very convenient. While I don’t have a private backyard, my apartment community has two large dog parks within walking distance, right behind my building. The parks provide plenty of space for outdoor time, along with dog toys, fresh water fountains, and waste bags. I always follow each owner’s preferences regarding dog parks, interactions with other dogs, walks, and outdoor activities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their normal routine and the owner’s instructions as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications or special care instructions, and whether their pet normally stays in a crate or is allowed to roam freely. I also treat every client’s home with care and respect. Communication is very important to me, so whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll provide regular updates and photos. I can let you know when they’ve eaten, had water, gone outside, used the bathroom, how their walk went, and how they’re doing overall. I’m also happy to communicate beforehand about your pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs and arrange a meet-and-greet when needed so both you and your pet can feel comfortable before their care begins.
“Elisha was wonderful to come over at the last minute and help with my fur babies! She was prompt, kind and just overall fantastic with my senior and puppy who recently had surgery. Thanks for going above and beyond for us; will definitely use her services in the future!”
“Rebecca has been an absolutely incredible and reliable sitter for my sweetest girl, Margot. While we are sad to move away, I couldn’t recommend a better sitter!!! She is respectful, a great communicator, amazing with my baby and very loving! 11/10 would recommend.”
“Jill was so amazing and helped me out with a last minute walk. I’m looking forward to her helping me out with his regular walks in the future! She is super kind and prompt with communication!”
About: I have loved and taken care of animals since I was a toddler. Large or small, fluffed or scaled, we will be buddies. I specialize in cuddles, playing, and companionship. I also do walks, baths, and am comfortable administering oral and ear medication. I do freelance work from home so I am incredibly flexible. For overnights or extended stays, my laptop can easily travel with me. My deadlines are also flexible, so your fur babies come first! Pet safety is priority #1! I always use leashes, don't provide people food, and am the ultimate master of snatching escape artists. It's very important to me to follow and enforce house rules.
“Jon is super accommodating! He came over and met Opie right away so we knew if it would work out . He sends refreshing update pictures to ease being away from your baby! We are so thankful to have someone able to walk Opie at the needed times :) thanks Jon!”
“Eli is amazing with our 2 westie puppies! He takes them on long walks when he gets to our house and plays with them so they’re good and tired the rest of the day. He takes care to make sure everything is secure with our house when he leaves for the day. And…the pups told us they love all the treats and attention they get while he’s there. :)”

I highly recommend Olivia as a dog walker! She walked my dog, Marley, and did a fabulous job. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Marley was comfortable and happy. Marley came back relaxed and well exercised. She was punctual, attentive, and treated Marley like her own pet. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. I felt completely at ease knowing Marley was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.
Ricardo was amazing with my sweet boy Charlie. The intro was super easy and they were quickly off on their 1 hour adventure before we knew it. Ricardo saved the day by accepting my last minute request and was very flexible with the meeting location. I will definitely request his assistance in the future. He was AWESOME!!!
Taylor was delightful to have taking care of my 2 dogs. They loved having her here and loved play time with her. She was prompt, responded to messages and left pictures for me while I was away from home. I had a worry one night about windows in the house being open when I saw it may rain and she was happy to help me by closing the windows. I will definitely ask Taylor to help me out again when needed.
Olivia was great with Simon, especially on his first walk. She was patient and took the time to let him warm up, which really helped him feel comfortable. She provided updates and photos, and made sure he was taken care of. I appreciate her communication and her help while we got things set up.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Thornton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Thornton.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thornton. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
