“Kathy is a fantastic dog sitter, she is communicative, flexible with drop-off/pick-up times, and most importantly, took amazing care of our two pups. One of my dogs requires meds and she was attentive to her needs. I would recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a quality and reliable dog sitter.”
“Rochelle did a great job watching my dog Cinderella for a weekend. Sent plenty of updates and pics to let me know she was being well taken care of. Will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Leaving our doodle Juni is never easy because she’s our baby, but Yumiko gave us complete peace of mind. She took wonderful care of her for 9 days over the Fourth of July, sending thoughtful updates and photos twice a day, taking her on multiple walks, and giving her so much love and attention. We especially appreciated that she stayed home with the dogs during the fireworks so they would feel safe and comfortable. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. We highly recommend Yumiko and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Katelyn was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Barley, while we were away for 12 days. Barley is a high-energy Blue Heeler, so he isn’t always the easiest dog to keep up with, but Katelyn did an amazing job. She sent thoughtful updates and photos almost every day without us ever having to ask, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. It was clear from the start that she genuinely loves dogs and cared for Barley like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with Katelyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and reliable sitter!”
“Jack was awesome with Leon! A great communicator, reliable, and I picked up Leon - he was exhausted from all of the exercise and fun that Jack provided. Could not ask for a better sitter to watch my boy!”
“Oakley had such a great stay with Jessica & Teryn he didn’t want to leave! They took great care of him and he loved playing with their sweet dog Shila. We will definitely book with them again!”
“Wonderful family. Sent videos and pics of my dog having a great time. Flexible with my drop-off and pick-up needs. Will definitely book with them again.”
“Stephanie was awesome! I needed a last minute dog sitter and she responded quickly and Laci loved her stay. Stephanie truly enjoys fur babies. I am so glad I found her. Thanks Stephanie!!”
“Susan was an amazing Rover for our dog Summit. She was friendly and welcoming and very easy to communicate with! Her home is beautiful with a huge fenced in backyard for our dog to play outside all day. She also took our dog on walks around her neighborhood which he really enjoyed. We will be using her again to watch our dog anytime we need a trustworthy reliable Rover. -Brian B.”
“I'm shocked that Leah and Carol aren't booked for weeks at a time with the exceptional care they provide. I'm almost hesitant to not write this review so I can have them all to myself. From the minute I traded messages with Leah to the moment I picked Cooper up from his first stay, I was nothing but at ease and incredibly happy to have found sitters that can care and love Cooper as if he was their own. The house is cozy and warm, Leah is super responsive, and they even provide a little doggy report card which honestly, was the icing on the cake for me. I can go on and on of how incredible Leah and Carol are, and I can't wait for Cooper to continue to be a part of their pack.”
“Sara is amazing! she took excellent care of Rexzie and she is so patient and kind. I strongly reccomend her. she has such a positive vibe and light to her, my pup fell in love with her at first sight. Sara thank you so so much for everything. I will certainly be reaching out to you in the future!!”
“Jacque was amazing! My dog Cooper is 12 years old with plenty of health issues and Jacque took the time to understand Coopers needs and make sure he was comfortable and happy. He’s not an easy dog to take care of but she treated him like he was her own. You can tell she loves animals and always happy to help. I highly recommend Jacque to watching your pup they’ll be in great hands!”
“Kimber was great with my puppy, Bo! She sent photo updates every day she had him which I very much enjoyed since this was my first time leaving him! Hands down would recommend!”
“Jamie was so great with Cooper! Sent regular updates and walked him even though it’s 5 degrees outside! Her pup Chili is the sweetest too. She was also very accommodating when my flight got delayed, which I really appreciated!”
“Alex took great care of Zoey and was very flexible with last minute plans on coordinating a meet up first and extending Zoey’s stay a few extra days. He was also very receptive to adapting his home and routine to accommodate Zoey’s needs. We’ll definitely have Zoey stay with Alex again in the future.”
“Eric took great care of our dogs. Our younger dog has some special needs and wears a diaper, which was no problem for him. Eric was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and videos every day.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Jill was absolutely amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and we were definitely nervous about leaving our dogs with someone new, but she made the entire experience completely stress-free. She sent us daily pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our vacation knowing they were in great hands. We came home to two happy pups! We would absolutely trust Jill with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. 😊
Paris was great in watching Rocky during my extended vacation! It’s always difficult for me to leave Rocky for even a weekend, let alone almost 2 weeks! Paris and her kids were very loving with Rocky while I was away, they sent daily updates and was easy to tell they took great care of him. I’ll be returning for my future pet-sitting needs!!
Sara was absolutely incredible, she welcomed Banjo right in and made him feel safe and at ease. She kept me updated with pics the entire time and just has the best personality. I highly highly recommend her for all your doggy needs, she’s the only person I’ll be booking with from here forward.
Julia is hands down the best sitter I have found in all of Colorado - she is caring, responsive, reliable and accommodating. She takes amazing care of Janet (my corgi) and even made her birthday special while I was away which was beyond sweet :) Could not recommend a better person to care for your pet!
Jed & Nashelli watched Teddy for a week and sent us multiple pictures per day which was greatly appreciated. Our doodle is a fussy eater, was thankful that they accommodated his eating related drama. Will definitely consider them again the next time we are on vacation
Amazing sitter for my dogs! I usually use a friend just because Bentley is reactive to other dogs and they usually know his personality so I was a bit nervous at first. Eli was very patient at the first meeting and looked like my dogs settled in quickly! Will definitely recommend him again!!!
Elisha was a great sitter for Beans and took such wonderful care of him. She sent lots of pics and he looked like he was being treated with lots of love and affection. She was there when I dropped him off and picked him up and he looked happy and without any anxiety or stress. I would definitely trust her when I next need someone to take care of him in my absence!

There are 6,416 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Thornton. About 90% of Thornton sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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.
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 .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
