“Taylor did a fantastic job. Our dogs have never been separated from us and they were content and themselves on our return. The house was the same as we left mail neatly stacked on the counter. Couldn’t ask for more”
“Amy was wonderful! Rue was well taken care of and loved spending time with Amy. Amy was great at checking in and sending photos of Rue. She also took wonderful care of our home. Would absolutely ask Amy to watch Rue in the future.”
“My puppies (Great Danes) absolutely fell in love with Felicity and she was in regular communication about them. I felt very safe and secure knowing my babies were in amazing hands!”
“Janelle was so wonderful with our young pup and shared nice updates and ample photos throughout the day. We knew Milo was in good hands the whole time. Bonus: Janelle took meticulous care of our home too (pretty sure it’s cleaner than when we left her with it!). Thank you, Janelle!!!”
“Nice is amazing. Our sweet Jax seemed so comfortable with her, which put us at ease given his age and the fact that we were so far away from home. She sent a bunch of pictures and updates; we never worried once, which was so comforting. Nice treated our home and our dog as if they were hers. Next time we plan a vacation, we’re definitely contacting Nice!”
“Michaela was prompt with communication and made sure to send several updates throughout the weekend including pics of my boys. It was greatly appreciated! Would absolutely use Michaela again to watch my fur babes!”
“We are thankful to be safely back to our home and dog after a short trip away so soon after being gone the better part of a week for our daughter's wedding. April did not disappoint! We returned to a happy dog and a tidy home! We were worried about delays at the airports and April was willing to come to the rescue if it was needed. Thank you, April!”
“This was the first time that we had used Erin, and she was great. She took great care of the kitties, and left absolutely adorable report cards on each one. We will definitely use her again.”
“Patricia was amazing with our pup! She stayed in our home over the weekend. We have an older dog with some quirks and Patricia was diligent about following our instructions and picking up on his needs through the stay. We will definitely be rebooking for future stays.”
“Gabrielle was a great sitter. She stayed in my home for 6 days and was very professional. My dog was happy and healthy when I returned. My house was super clean when I returned. She was responsive and updated me everyday. My. Internet went out and she was happy to help with the technician and got everything squared away. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a house and pet sitter!”
“Our dogs were immediately comfortable with McKenna when they first met her. We had to take a last minute trip and she took great care of them! We can tell our dogs really enjoyed their time with her. I would not hesitate to book her again! Thank you!”
“Repeat customer here! Kayla once again went above and beyond watching our pup while we were on vacation. She played with him tons, took him on walks and even brought him some puppy toys. We are so grateful for the TLC Kayla provides our dog Louie and will continue to book with her and recommend her to all! :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Brianne was amazing! Our two pups were very well tended to and cared for, as well as our house and two cats. Brianne was super communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and did a great job sticking to our dogs’ routine and making sure they were comfortable while we were away. If you need a great dog-sitter, ask for Brianne!
Lorraine was so amazing with our pups! So gave frequent updates, pics and videos. She even got our little one to eat all her meals (no small feat). She left the house immaculate and she left us a gift!! My pups were happy and well cared for while we were gone. I would definitely use Lorraine again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter that will treat your pets like her own!
Michaela took care of our dogs for the day so we could to spend time with family - she was here right on time, communicative, left the place spotless, sent us updates of the pups throughout the day and took great care of them. When we got back they both seemed like they had a great, playful day. So nice to be able to spend the day away not worrying about them since they were in good hands 😊
Erika did a wonderful job with my puppy. She was on time, communicative, sent videos and photos, followed care instructions, and my puppy was so happy to see her. Coordinating with Erika was very simple and she was super accommodating to my requests. I would definitely book her again.
Gabby did an awesome job with our two boxers. We came home to very happy puppies who had a great time with her. She did a great job taking care of them. We were even a half hour late and she stayed to help us out. We are going on a huge trip soon and and are very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care.
Maribel is a phenomenal sitter! We used Maribel for a week+ trip and she watched our dog and cat in our home. She was quick to reply and sent daily updates to us, she took care of the house and left it in great shape. Our animals looked loved and happy throughout our absence, and when we got home both animals seemed very well cared for. We plan to use Maribel again in the future to watch our girls! Absolute five star care!
Kathaleen was so great to our fur babies while we were away. We have a pretty high maintenance puppy who takes a while to warm up to strangers. She was kind and patient with her and we definitely appreciate that. Our other old man dog and two kitties looked like they had a great weekend - Kathaleen was very communicative and sent lots of photo updates while we were gone 😁 We will 100% book Kathaleen again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Thornton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,969 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Thornton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Thornton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Thornton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Thornton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
