“Thank you Noel for taking great care of our boys Charlie and Oscar. It was a comforting feeling to know they were in safe hands while we were away! And in the end, they fell in love with you. Thank you Noel for being here for us and the boys. 🙏🏻💖”
“I am so glad I found Cassidy! I work long hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so my poor pup was usually home for 11hrs or so on those days. I felt terrible. My boss recommended Rover and I landed on Cassidy after doing some searching. She is so good with my pup and plays with her plenty on days when it’s too hot out for a long walk. I always get pictures from the walk/play time and I swear some of the best pics of my pup have come from Cassidy. She’s fantastic, reliable, and I would recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker 😊”
“On top of being extremely reliable and punctual, Rebecca is the most AMAZING person!! Her connection with my dogs is remarkable, a genuine, mutually-respectful bond. She has such a positive relationship with each of them. They sense her beautiful energy and give back their own forms of affection. Can’t say enough about how great Rebecca is…15/10 recommend!!! Love you, Rebecca - Georgie & Evie”
About: I love animals. Cats, Dogs, guinea pigs, and fish. You name it, I think they're cool. I am diligent, trustworthy, and interested in keeping your pet happy. I've had pets of all sorts my entire life. I can understand from an owner's standpoint how relaxing it is to know your pets are in good hands. There's a level of calm that comes from this that I want to provide for your family. I am an independent contractor working from home and running a budding business in small-business financial care. Right now, my schedule is open as I build my business and am between contracts. I can be available on short notice (2-3 weeks' notice for each care contract). My household includes 2 dogs and 2 cats, whom I watch weekly while their pet parents are at work or in class. We go on daily walks and play often.
“Eli is great, I needed a dog walker for my Aunt's two scotties in CO, I live in CA, Rover App made it all possible. Eli is on time, friendly and reliable! I am very grateful for his time!”
About: I’d love to walk your dog(s)! High energy breeds or dogs that require lots of movement will join me in one significant (5-7 mile) walk and two shorter walks per day so they can sleep well, enjoying feeling that they worked hard. I work from home and take many breaks for my own mental health. The day starts with a nice long walk before it gets too hot. My back door is left wide open to a huge, fenced backyard and dogs come and go as they please. When I take my breaks (usually once an hour for 10 minutes) they will get to play, do a little simple training for healthy treats, and receive warm, calm affection. My yard is fully fenced with tall wood. Dogs have access to water 24/7. Dogs are leashed on all walks. I am skilled at walking multiple dogs and doing effective, patient, “no-pull” training.
“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.”
“Amanda is so wonderful! My little fur baby has anxiety and doesn’t trust just anyone. She warmed up to Amanda very quickly and has no problems on walks!! She is very sweet and communicative. Highly recommend!!”
“Brittany has been walking our dog for about 6 months now and we absolutely love her! She loves him like he's her own and goes above and beyond to make sure he gets his energy out!! Highly recommended : ) ”
About: I can teach dogs proper walking skills, I’m patient, can teach to heal, sitting, laying down, turn around, shake, wait, come, social skills and I love dogs! I am walking dogs/ drop ins 7 days a week! looking to make money these days doing dog walking and training around my area as I think this would be a great fit. I do supervised playtime both indoor and outdoors, making sure they have water, food, toys, chewing items and positive reinforcement although I have experience training reactive/aggressive dogs.
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!
“Elysse is phenomenal! Jupiter and Peanut enjoy their time walking with Elysse each morning. In fact they get so excited when they hear her at the door each morning...this is perhaps their favorite part of the day. I appreciate that Elysse is always on time (arrives just before the walk is scheduled) and returns with the dogs well-exercised. She sends these great pictures of the dogs enjoying the outdoors too! Because I am unable to walk very far, having Elysse's support has been truly amazing.”
“Yoshi is soo happy to have Alyssa in his life. When I get home I can tell he has been on a good walk. The pictures she sends, always make me happy because I know she is walking Yoshi around his favorite park! Highly recommend Alyssa, she makes sure she is comfortable with your dog and doesn’t just say yes! Which is a huge plus in my book!!”
“Sidney is amazing! Super communicative, reliable, and always takes such great care of my animals. I come home every time to happy, tired pups, which says everything. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Thanks so much for being able to help with River! It's always been a wonderful experience and River and I both love knowing she's being taken care of while I'm away.”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Thornton is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Sidney was great! My reactive 80 lb Great Pyrenees loved her immediately, and she can be selective with new walkers at times. Sidney provided very detailed notes and photos which left us feeling very reassured while we were away. We are booking with her again in 1 month and highly recommend her to others!
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.
I am so thankful to have found Sydney. My dog has severe anxiety when I board her so I thought if she was in her home environment she would be more comfortable. Sydney was amazing with Paige. Sydney obviously knows dogs, how to read their body language, and cared for Paige as much as I do. I can’t recommend her enough and I will definitely be reaching out to her again when In leave town.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Thornton on Rover is $23.43 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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. 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 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. 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 .
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.
