“Michaela has been taking my girl for walks and she’s been great! I appreciate how she communicates when she’s on her way, and takes care of my girl when they go for their walks. 10/10 recommend 💜”
“Rebecca was fantastic taking care of my 2 fur babies. She was prompt, professional, friendly and caring. She's definitely top notch and helped put me at ease with pictures and updates of my dogs at every visit.”
“Michael is such a great walker. He is punctual and goes above and beyond with my sweet girl. He’s very attentive to her needs. I don’t trust just anyone with my girl and I feel more than comfortable and confident to leave her in his care!”
About: I absolutely love animals! Whether its watching tv together or playing with their toys, my animals and I always have fun together :) your fur baby will have a great time with me I am currently a full time student and a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty much open. The weekends are a little tricky and I would have to bring my son with me, but I am open for walking your dog on the weekends too or stopping in to give them a potty break. I have one cat that I own currently. She's pretty calm and I feed her once a day. When I had a dog, I fed him twice a day and took him on walks and we played with his tug of war toys. For your dog, I could walk them and feed them if you would like
About: I have looked after neighbors pets my whole life. I am a life long dog owner and have 2 dogs at home. I’m experienced in taking care of dogs at all stages of life. I work part time on Thursday and Friday but can help out any other day of the week. I look after my dogs at home everyday. Every pet deserves love and trust from the people helping them. I plan to be there and share the same love I have for my dogs for others.
About: I work from home full time so I can give your pup the full attention they need! Huge dog lover and will care for your pup like it's my own! You want to 20 pictures a day for updates? You got it! Your pup is shy/nervous? That's okay! I have a spunky husky at home who is also shy so I have experience why shy/nervous pups. My husband and I both work from home so we have plenty of time around our pup! But we always make sure she gets a walk in the morning, lunch time and before or after dinner. She also loves just sitting in our backyard taking in the smells. For rainy days or super hot days, we sometimes bring her to daycare so she can still play and get her energy out. We have a fenced in yard that my dog loves as well as a great walking trail. My dog can get a little protective of her toys so I will make sure those are put away to avoid any conflicts.
“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”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk and play with their pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for in house care/walks everyday but Mondays and Tuesday. I have a fenced yard with two friendly dogs and a cat to keep your pups company. I have a crate available if needed during their stay.
“Emily was reliable, flexible, friendly, and a good communicator. My dog Minka liked her right away! I will definitely be using her again for walks and I recommend her to others as well!”
“I first contacted Amirah when my Pit mix underwent back to back major surgeries that left him housebound for several months. We needed help with med administration and potty breaks. Amirah proved herself remarkably reliable, competent, knowledgeable and, above all else, compassionate. She has treated my dog with genuine affection and as he heals I will continue to use Amirah his rehab needs. ( and maybe soon a fun walk in the park and squirrel intimidation!) I am grateful to Amirah for the peace of mind she has afforded me during this rough time. I would unhesitantly recommend her services.”
About: I grew up with a house full or animals! Dogs, cats, rodents, and even a turtle! I started housesittng in middleschool and recently. I really fell in love with taking care of animals at a doggy day care for 2 years. And it showed me how important having someone come check on your babies and try to match their home routine is, when you go on vacation without them. Im comfortable administering medications and walking small to medium dogs. Walking large to giant dogs require an in-person meet and greet during their walking time to make sure were a good fit. I have the ability to work from home 3 days a week, so I'm around if needed. My weekend evenings can be busy; but taking care of your pets is my priority. Ill always make sure they get an extra potty walk, late night snacks, or overnight snuggles. I strive to match your daily schedule as best as I can so even though you arent home your babies can know their meals are on-time, and their routine is consistent. No one skips snuggles under my watch!
“Mckenzie was so great walking our two big energetic Akitas while we were on vacation. She kept us updated on their walks and any changes that were made to the schedule. We are so grateful to her for caring for our dogs which gave us piece of mind while out of town. Would definitely work with her again and recommend her. Thanks Mckenzie!”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and caring for dogs has always been something that comes naturally to me. I grew up with dogs and, as I got older, started caring for family members’ and friends’ dogs as well. My husband and I had two wonderful pups for 9 years. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for dogs of all different sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities—and I’ve learned that no two dogs are quite the same! What sets me apart is that I take the time to get to know each dog. I pay attention to their routines, body language, favorite activities, and little quirks. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off some energy, extra patience while getting comfortable, plenty of playtime, or simply a cozy spot to relax, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I also know from personal experience how much peace of mind comes from knowing your pet is being well cared for and is being loved like they are a part of the family while you are away. I’m home full-time with my son, so your pup will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My husband also occasionally works from home, which means your dog will rarely be left alone. The only time we’re typically away is for school drop-off and pick-up—and if your pup is up for an adventure, they’re welcome to join us! We know your dog is a beloved part of your family, and when they’re with us, we’ll treat them just the same. We have a fenced-in yard where your pup can safely enjoy some time outside, whether they prefer to play on the grass or explore the rocks. Our son loves having a four-legged friend to play fetch with, and we enjoy taking nightly walks together. And, of course, we believe there’s no such thing as too many dog cuddles! Your pup will receive plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care while they’re with us—and will be treated just like one of our own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Silvana takes the best care of our dog Bailey! She checks in with lots of pictures and gives Bailey the best love and attention. Silvana is very reliable and communicative. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pet!
Georgie gets so excited when he hears Jason’s name. He loves his walks. Jason is reliable, considerate, flexible, and the apple of Georgie’s eye—no higher praise is available. I’m so grateful for Jason and Jenna helping me keep Georgie happy and healthy when life gets in the way. I highly recommend them and so does G.
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!!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Thornton is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,524 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Thornton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Thornton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Thornton after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
