“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“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!”
“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!”
“Danielle was great! She took amazing care of our dog Bean while we were gone for a 10 day trip, and she made us feel very at ease. Lots of photo updates, attentive care, and overall just a great experience.”

“McKenzie was so great with my dogs. Spent a lot of time with them during the weekend which I know they appreciated in my absence. She communicated with me throughout her stay with my beagles and I really appreciated the updates. My home was just as I left it when I returned. I will absolutely be using her again with my pups!”
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.
“Jodi was amazing.She came and met all the pets and was eager to learn about their care. She is easy to communicate with and sent pictures when she was here. She seemed to really care about my fur babies I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Sasha was prompt and professional. Proving regular updates, putting my worried mind to rest. It is never easy leaving your pups behind, but they were in good hands with Sasha.”
“Amirah was amazing! She treated our baby so good that he is now depressed because he misses his new BFF! I highly recommend her! We certainly will be working with her more in the future!”
“Kristen is amazing with our 3 Siberian Huskies, especially our super senior dog that is 15.5 years old. She takes of the dogs, the house and always keeps us updated. We love having her watch our dogs.”
“Kamilla is fantastic! Its really hard to find someone attentive and responsible; Kamilla embodies both! She was great with the boys, asked questions if she was uncertain abput something and she is super communicative. We look forward to having her back.”
“Michael sent lots of pictures and kept in communication while I was gone which kept me at ease. Holden had a good time with Michael while I was gone and took great care of my house.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Admittedly, I am a helicopter dog mom/aunt. Meeting Andrea and introducing her to my dog and brother’s dog, I knew immediately that they were well cared for and that they would be loved on!! The dogs absolutely loved her and we so appreciated her quick communication and attentiveness to our girls. We will definitely be booking again!!
Taylor is an exceptional sitter. We are anxious, protective dog parents to a sensitive doodle with special diet requirements. Taylor handled him perfectly over a 4-night stay. She communicated regularly and proactively, sending multiple pictures each day. I felt completely comfortable with our pup in her care and won’t hesitate to use her again!
Isabel was incredible! We left our two Aussies with her (one being a very high energy pup) for over two weeks while we were traveling out of the country, and we couldn’t have asked for a more kind, caring, and responsible dog sitter. She sent pictures of them daily, which was such a treat, and she left the house in great shape. She provided important updates and was so flexible with our needs. I can’t recommend her enough!
Elisabeth did a great job caring for my 3 large dogs while I went on a week vacation. She was very patient, flexible, and confident for my fear aggressive dog and reactive other two. She enjoyed getting to know my pets and allowed several meet and greets building up to the booking. She provided updates with photos at every walk and check in and was quick to respond and pivot with complications.
Lorraine was our cat/house sitter for over 10 days. She sent daily videos and pictures of our Jasper cat. This was the first time we had left for a long period of time and we were so comfortable with her care. When we came home our house was clean and there was a lovely plant and card. I finally feel comfortable taking longer trips after having Jasper in her care. I will definitely want to hire her again!
Gabby is such a game changer in our life. We have two boxers that require extra attention. They think they are humans and need lots of love and play time. This is the first time we have left them for an extended period of time. Gabby did such a good job of taking care of them that I felt totally relaxed on our vacation. She sent pictures and messages. The dogs looked happy and comfortable in the pictures. When we got home they looked terrific, well feed, and happy. Gabby also cleaned up after them and the house looked great. Thank you Gabby we really appreciate you.
So thankful Melissa was able to step in to help with dog-sitting for my older dog Merle! She was very thorough during the meet-and-greet, communication was great throughout, and she left a happy pup and a clean house behind. Would definitely rely on Melissa for pup sitting in the future.
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!
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 😊

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
