“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 🩷”
“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.”
About: I have been loving on pets for the last 8 years. I have stayed at clients homes anywhere from 1night - 6 weeks. I believe every dog has their own unique personality that deserves to be understood. I take pride in taking time to learn each animals needs/wants and how to best approach them. I love hiking, walking, and being outside with pets and I have a large yard! I love pets like they are my family and my goal is to always make them feel like they are on vacation too. I'm currently self-employed and enrolled in online classes for the summer so I have all the flexibility to care for your furry friend. Pet/ home sitting is my first priority, so I schedule my week around your pet's care. I have a list of questions I ask about how to care for your home when you are away. Not only for your pets, but any deliveries, trash, or errands that need to be taken care of while you're away. If your dog is the active type, I love being active with them. Whether that be walks, hiking or playing fetch in the back yard.
“Cedric stayed overnight with Jacque and didn't want to leave when we came to get him. He apparently had a great time. Cedric loved her and we would use Jacque again anytime.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend this family enough! They have a great house setup and truly treated my dog like a member of their own family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was getting plenty of walks and playtime. Now, whenever we pull up to their house, my dog gets so happy and excited to go inside. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby!”
“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!”
“Kimberly provided updates with pics of my pup playing with her dog Sydney and having a great time. Highly recommend if you live near Hmart Westminster and need someone to take care of your pooch. Thanks Kimberly!”
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have also been taking care of own dog and family dog since I was a child. I work from home full time therefore your pup will always be in good hands. Walks every 3 hours if needed. Playtime and routine care all day I ensure to prioritize your pups care and needs. I pay attention to any difference in behavior a dog might show. I also ensure the pup feels safe and comfortable
“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: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 7+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own lab, Roxy, through every stage of life, from adulthood through her senior years. I also have experience supporting dogs with mobility challenges, including senior dogs, amputees, and dogs undergoing cancer treatment and chemotherapy. I’ve dog-sat a variety of breeds and personalities, from energetic dogs like Australian Shepherds and Corgis to laid-back companions like Pugs and French Bulldogs. I understand that every dog has different exercise, enrichment, and comfort needs, and I tailor care accordingly. Your dog will stay in our spacious single family home with access to a semi-fenced backyard and plenty of room to relax. I work from home, so I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and monitoring senior or medically complex dogs. Having cared for Roxy through cancer treatment, including oral chemotherapy, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels. I intentionally host only one client’s dog(s) at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention and care. Your pup will have the company of two dog-loving adults in the home, no other animals and no children. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, a couch cuddler, or needs a little extra support in their senior years, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pup! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide regular supervision, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Because I only host one client’s dog(s) at a time, your pup receives plenty of attention and care rather than being one of many dogs in a busy boarding environment. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine. Your dog will stay in our spacious 2,400 sq ft home with access to a semi-fenced backyard, many nearby walking trails/dog parks, and plenty of indoor space to relax. There are two dog-loving adults in the home and no children. I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, amputees, and dogs undergoing cancer treatment and chemotherapy. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, and adapting care to your dog’s individual needs. For safety and personalized attention, I only accept one client booking at a time.
“Bugsy had a great time and did so well on his first day with Deborah. I was worried with him being blind that he might be really anxious but Deborah treated him with kindness and so much care! Bugsy was comfortable and came home a tired pup from playing with friends all day. Will definitely be booking again. Thank you!”
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.

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 😊

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Thornton
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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,620 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Thornton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

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.
