“Nicole was great! She was a trooper when my pup locked her out of the house! She was attentive and sent lots of updates and pictures! She walked him and threw the ball endlessly! Would definitely recommend!”
“Patricia was absolutely amazing and took care of our pup, Ella, as well as our home. She did exactly as we asked - and more. She went above and beyond to leave our home clean, stripped the bed, cleaned, watered my plants. She took Ella out and about to parks and we are so pleased. Looking forward to using Patricia as a house and dog sitter again in the future.”
“Sydney is amazing! Our (rescued) dog is incredibly codependent and naturally anxious, so she does best to have someone with her when my husband and I are gone for an entire day - Sydney helped watched her, and when we came home our pup was nice and relaxed - a fantastic sign that she was well loved! We’ll definitely be booking Sydney again :)”
“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”
About: I love animals. Cats, Dogs, guinea pigs, and fish. You name it, I think they're cool. I am diligent, trustworthy, and interested in keeping your pet happy. I've had pets of all sorts my entire life. I can understand from an owner's standpoint how relaxing it is to know your pets are in good hands. There's a level of calm that comes from this that I want to provide for your family. I am an independent contractor working from home and running a budding business in small-business financial care. Right now, my schedule is open as I build my business and am between contracts. I can be available on short notice (2-3 weeks' notice for each care contract). My household includes 2 dogs and 2 cats, whom I watch weekly while their pet parents are at work or in class. We go on daily walks and play often.
“Lainie was great with our dog George, and watching our home. She would send us a picture at least once/day, and was great keeping in touch. First time using Rover.com. Would highly recommend Lainie!”
“Erin is amazing! She was great at communicating updates everyday and sent super cute pictures of our dog. She is very responsive and responsible and I was totally relaxed on vacation knowing she was there. We would definitely book her services again and will recommend to others!”
“We were out on an extended trip, and Ellen did an amazing job with our pups! She was very responsive to messages and sent lots of pictures. She left our house tidy and our dogs seemed to love her! Will definitely book again!”
“McKenna was wonderful! Not only did she take great care of my two dogs and two cats while we were gone for two weeks, but she also helped coordinate with my landlord while we were gone to get something fixed at the house. Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn is very sweet. Came by for a meet and greet a few days before she stayed over and took care of my 8.5 year old dog, Cooper. She is very gentle and quiet and animals respond well to that. She sent me updates over the weekend on how Cooper was doing. I came home to a happy dog and a neat and tidy place, I would book her again!!”
About: Hi, I'm Conrad, and I'm a Star Sitter with 117+ five-star reviews and years of hands-on pet care experience. I specialize in providing a calm, safe, and personalized experience for every pet in my care. Whether you're looking for boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel comfortable while giving you complete peace of mind. If you're new to Rover, welcome! Feel free to use my promo code **CONRAJ94323** for **$20 off** your first booking. My boarding is designed especially for small dogs. No large dogs here ever. That means your little one can play, nap, and relax without feeling intimidated or overwhelmed. My home has a fully fenced yard, no children, and a peaceful environment where dogs are treated like family. They're welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they'll feel most at home. You'll receive frequent photos and updates throughout your pet's stay, so you'll always know how they're doing. I also live just half a block from a beautiful neighborhood park, giving dogs a peaceful place to enjoy fresh air, exercise, and one-on-one time outside. I'm home for most of the day, and whenever I step out, my partner is here, so your dog is never left without loving care. I have experience caring for senior dogs, diabetic dogs requiring insulin injections every 12 hours, pets with daily medications, reactive dogs, and dogs with unique routines and care needs. I'm patient, detail-oriented, and committed to making every pet feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for. For house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, I know how important consistency is. I carefully follow your pet's routine, administer medications when needed, provide exercise, enrichment, plenty of one-on-one attention, and send regular photo updates so you always know how they're doing. Most days you'll find a few little pups sunbathing in the yard, exploring the house, or curled up beside me while I work. I keep things clean, calm, and low-stress so every stay feels like a little vacation. I know leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, which is why communication is one of my top priorities. You'll always know how your pet is doing through regular updates, photos, and prompt responses. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to the routine they already know, so I take the time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and individual needs to help them feel comfortable, confident, and at home. I'm also saving for vet school, and every booking helps me move one step closer to that dream. Caring for animals isn't just a job to me—it's the career I'm dedicating my life to. Every booking brings me one step closer to becoming a veterinarian, and I'm incredibly grateful for every family who trusts me with their pets. I care for each one as if they were my own. Future vet in training! Caring for pets is what I love most. I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends and when I’m not home, my partner is, so your pet always has company and care. I provide safe, loving care for small pets only. In my home, they’re welcome to relax on the furniture and the bed so they feel comfortable and cozy. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and treat every pet like my own while making sure their safety and happiness always come first.
“Daniela is a delight! My dogs were very well taken care of. She treated them like her own while I was away and I will use her to take care of my babies again and again. Thank you so much!”
“Kayla was wonderful with Libby and I sincerely hope to continue booking with her! I especially loved that she spent some time on specific training for a certification we’re working towards!”
“August was absolutely amazing and our dog loved their time with them! August was great with communication, sent photos and videos, and kept us updated with how our dog was doing. We have a very anxious dog and he seemed very comfortable and happy with August. We needed to book August very last minute and they made us feel very comfortable fast which was so helpful with a last minute trip. We would 100% book August again!”
“Felicity did a wonderful job! I genuinely felt like she cared for my pets as if they were own and she sent me so many pictures !! I will definitely utilize her in the future and I hope others do too ! 🥰”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
She took excellent care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with her service. When we got home, our dogs were incredibly happy and clearly well cared for. She always kept us updated with photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet visit beforehand and was very thoughtful and detail-oriented in everything she did. We will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Sydney was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our dog and cat. She communicated super clearly, was on time, sent photos, and even checked in when our pup was scared during a thunderstorm. She gave our dog’s tail a little wash when she peed on it! She also left the house in even better shape and left CUSTOM STICKERS of both pets!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and feel so confident she will take excellent care of them in the future. We can’t wait to book Sydney again!
Gabrielle took great care of our two border collies and house while we were away for several days. Our dogs immediately were comfortable with her, especially our older dog who can have some stranger anxiety. She sent daily updates and we will definitely book with her again!
Elisiya was great staying at my home with my pets while I was away on vacation! I had never used Rover before and was initially nervous about being away, but felt totally comfortable in my home and in charge of my two dogs- one of which is still a puppy with lots of energy and the other a Saint Bernard with some leash reactivity. She was very clean and respectful of my home and kept me updated with the pets. I would highly recommend her and absolutely would book with her again!!!
Kim was fantastic! She took great care of our home, 2 dogs, and our cat for a week while we traveled internationally. She communicated well and I felt peace of mind knowing our home and fur family were being taken care of while we were away. Would definitely book again!
Isabel was absolutely wonderful! She stayed at our house for a week and took such great care of Anakin and Odin. She made sure all of their needs were met, took them on walks, gave them plenty of playtime, and followed our feeding instructions exactly — which we really appreciated since they can be picky eaters. She also sent us lots of pictures and updates, which made us feel completely at ease knowing they were being well cared for while we were away. We’ll definitely be using Isabel again and will be sharing her contact with our friends. Highly recommend!
When booking a new Rover stay, you HOPE to find someone as courteous and responsible as Taylor. This was our first booking with Taylor. She house sat our two bulldogs and was absolutely wonderful. She is timely, communicative and caring. She followed instructions, left our home clean, and took amazing care of our doggies! She made our trip home easy and worry free. Thank you so much!
Emma helped us out when my trip had to be rescheduled for an urgent family health issue. She stayed overnight and also made sure that Lucy wasn't left alone for long stretches of time during the day, which was extremely helpful and appreciated. She was flexible and worked with me on ensuring Lucy's schedule was kept as consistent as possible, including working around an existing dog walking schedule (with a separate company) that I wanted to keep. The house was clean and Lucy was happy and healthy when I returned home! I would recommend Emma!

FAQs for House Sitting - Thornton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Thornton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,041 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.
