“Paris has been amazing with our puppy, Malley. She is attentive, caring, and very knowledgeable when it comes to crate and leash training. She provides daily updates, communicates consistently, and always makes us feel confident that Malley is in great hands. Paris has been incredibly helpful throughout the puppy stage, and it's clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. Malley absolutely loves spending time with her and her wonderful kids. I highly recommend Paris to anyone looking for someone who will do more than just care for their pup—she truly invests in their well-being, training, and happiness.”
“This was my first rover experience and it was great! Ava was so great and super welcoming! My doggies had a great time and I would definitely be contacting Ava anytime I’m in the Denver area 🩷”
About: I grew up loving dogs. I always had at least one dog in our house. Since then, I've volunteered with dogs for the past ten years. I've volunteered in human societies, with the dumb friends league, and for local community rescue events. Though I don't have my own dogs, because I travel too often, I love being around animals. I am available for quick match dog walks, dog walking, visits, and overnight dog sitting. I'm work from home and am very available, and looking forward to helping you out and meeting your dog. I promise to give your dog all of my love, attention, and pets. If your dog happens to be more active, that's great, and I'll be happy to take him or her for walk and runs per your request. I have a very flexible work from home schedule. I can plan my work around your pet's needs and am happy to adjust my time to fit my Rover obligations. I have a fenced in yard for your pet to explore and play in. I'll send updates throughout your pet's time with me to provide assurance and comfort, letting you know they're safe and happy.

“We needed last minute over the holiday doggy daycare for our goldendoodle Chewy. Hector and his dog Bruno were there for us. I got pictures and updates. Chewy was very tired from all the play time. We really appreciate the care he received.”
“Sarah was super friendly when my partner and I came to drop off our puppy, Olso. She was able to send updates during his stay, which a dog owner as myself, is very helpful. Thank you again Sarah! 😄”
“Magdalena was awesome with Astra! She was very careful to understand all of her needs and accommodated her perfectly. Astra loved her time there and we will definitely be going back!”
“Sue was great with our dog, Bear! We will be using her services again. We could tell right away that Sue and her family were dog-loving people and asked lots of good questions to understand what makes Bear tick. She was very attentive and communicated well. I also appreciated that Sue was able to be flexible on pick up and drop off times, as I had a very busy week. Thanks again Sue!”
About: Keelie and I have grown up caring for a wide range of pets. We've also taken care of pets for close friends and family while watching their homes during vacations. Animals have always been a big part of our lives, and we’ve considered every pet a member of our family. We’re excited to extend that same love and care to your furry, scaly, and even finned family members, treating them like our own! We both work during the week and our schedules sometimes vary. Keelie also is a part time student, so hanging around your animals while she studies always makes her day. Apart from our jobs we’re more than willing to work with our clients to make sure your pets get the care they need. When we care for pets in your home, our top priority is their safety and comfort. We make sure to follow all your instructions, from feeding routines to medication schedules, so your pets feel at ease. With both of us being shift supervisors at our jobs, we understand the importance of responsibility and reliability. We’ll respect your home, keep it clean and secure, and make sure your pets are always safe—whether that’s keeping doors locked or ensuring they stay inside. You can trust us to treat your pets like our own and provide them with the care they deserve while you’re away.
“Ty is absolutely the best. My two pups had an awesome day at daycare and came home so happy and exhausted. Loved getting the picture updates throughout the day. Thanks Ty!”
“Took absolutely fabulous care of my little peekapoo dog, Fizzgig. I received lots of adorable photos throughout the day and received updates on how she was doing. Most definitely recommend Deborah to all little dog owners! My little dog really seemed like she had a great time and she got better socialized with other little doggies while she was there!”
About: For the past 5 years, I’ve provided daily hands-on care for my two dogs, including a senior Chihuahua mix with advanced heart disease and special mobility needs. My experience includes administering routine care, oral medications, monitoring comfort and energy levels, and adjusting walks for senior, small breed, and special-needs dogs. I live 100 feet from a dog run/park as well as a large park with walking paths(see last images). My complex has a dog washing station that’s highly maintained. I’m equipped with standard and locking leashes for larger dogs, harnesses, a carrier, a stroller, and Lifting Harnesses(helps with stairs) to safely accommodate puppies, seniors, and dogs who need extra support or mobility assistance. I ONLY use 304-grade stainless steel for food and water but if your dog prefers their bowl that’s no issue. My boy peanut has recently passed away so only my dog pepper will be part of meet an greets I’m currently walking dogs full time. My schedule is extremely flexible and I’m open to complicated time frames as dogs lives can be just as challenging as our own. Just communicate your needs and I will do my best to help. I don't just sit dogs, I welcome them into my heart! I treat every pup with the same level of care and affection I would give a human family member. I have two dogs of my own who are part of the family, so your pup will have plenty of company and friends to play with. My home is set up to be a love-filled, comfortable space where your dog's happiness is my number one priority. I do have a kennel available if that is what your dog is used to or for their safety at night, but I am very open to a completely cage-free experience if they prefer to lounge on the rug or snuggle on the couch!
“Martha was awesome watching Theo for the day. She sent us updates throughout the day that gave us piece of mind he was doing great. She was also accommodating to his fear of storms. Will definitely be using Martha for our dog services in the future.”

Sarah L. was great!!! I got plenty of updates on my fur baby. I got cute pictures too. She is great at communicating with fast responses to any questions I had. My fur baby came home with his tail wagging and I know he would be excited to go visit again. I highly trust Sarah with my taking care of my family when I am not able to because of my schedule.
Paris has been amazing with my 4 month old puppy, Malley! Malley always has a great time with her, her dog, and her kids, and I know she's always well taken care of. Paris is reliable, caring, and gives me peace of mind every time I leave Malley with her. I highly recommend her!
Ava has been taking care of my 8-month-old puppy this past week, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is always prompt, responsive, and incredibly flexible. Throughout the day, she provides thoughtful updates and plenty of pictures, which gives me peace of mind and makes it so much easier to leave my puppy in someone else’s care. It’s clear that Ava genuinely cares about the pets she looks after and I can tell my puppy has a lot of fun in her care! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter!
Chris is absolutely outstanding! I feel so safe leaving my pup with him, knowing he is getting so much exercise and attention. I know my pup will be safe and so well taken care of! The plethora of pictures also help to know your pup is doing well throughout the day. My pup struggles to pace himself throughout the day, and Chris does a wonderful job helping to ensure he does not over exhaust himself. Thank you, Chris! Looking forward to sending Goose for years to come!
Christine has incredible animal energy! My pup Eloise is usually very anxious and terrified of new people — it normally takes her a full two days before she’ll even consider letting someone pet her. But with Christine? Eloise walked right up to her like they’d known each other forever. She was pawing for pets, climbed right into Christine’s lap, and was giving her kisses on day one! That is absolutely monumental for my shy girl. I got tons of adorable photo updates, and when I picked her up, Eloise was practically showing Christine off to me — doing happy twirls around her and just radiating joy. She clearly felt safe, loved, and understood. We will absolutely be back. Christine is truly something special!
Jennifer is extremely nice and caring person did good with my shy dog. Very informative on how everything went and very flexible with us on the time we needed. I definitely recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again. I also got some extremely cute photos of my Nola. Thank ypu again Jennifer I appreciate everything it meaned alot more than you think 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Thornton on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Thornton commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,620 sitters in Thornton, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
