“Cassandra was great with our two boys! They felt very comfortable with her from the start. She sent lots of updates and photos and we came home to two happy dogs. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Elisha took very good care of my cat while I was away, she was great at communicating and following instructions. My cat was very comfortable when she was visiting and loved the extra attention she gave him.”
“Alyssa has been so amazing with our dogs! She started drop in’s a few times a week to spend time with our dogs while we are at work. She has gone above and beyond to make sure they feel comfortable around her, even bringing treats with her to help them warm up! She updates us regularly and sends lots of pictures to keep our minds at ease. We truly feel better knowing that our doggos get to spend some time with her during the day while we are away!”
“Noel was absolutely amazing, she helped me so much with the extra requests I had and stayed till it was all done, very receptive and kind and I’d totally recommend booking with her!”
“Jenna and Jason did a wonderful job caring for my sweet dog. They were on time, very kind, and asked all the right questions. My dog can be kind of skiddish, but they made her feel very comfortable. I will absolutely be asking them again to watch our sweet pup.”
“Our Rover sitter was great! They were reliable, took good care of our dog, and kept us updated during the drop-in visit. We came home to a happy pup and would definitely book with them again. Thank you!”
“Everything was handled perfectly. Rebecca sent daily updates and a photo. I got Buddy 9 months ago and this was the first time I've traveled since, so it was good to know he didn't go psycho.”
“Holy crap! Cassidy is the absolute BEST. Cassidy is the best dog walker we have ever had. Our city sprayed pesticides and Cassidy was able to make the decision to walk out dog not at the park for a few days without us even having to ask. My mind is at such ease when we're away having Cassidy with our dog. What an absolute professional and friggin rock star.”
“First time using Rover! Amy was very trustworthy and made the time to arrange a visit prior to coming! Our puppy is a handful, however, he was very well taken care of! We loved receiving updates of potty breaks & photos of the drop ins! Thank you, Amy!”
“First time trying out a dog sitter and this girl is amazing. Such a nice and comfortable experience while away from the house and to have someone so good at what they do was a blessing. Great photos each day of my puppy and very respectful of my home. Highly recommend booking Cameo. She’s great!”
“I had to alter times and our reservation a couple of times and Sydney was gracious and flexible . It was our first time working together and I hope we can do this again soon .”
“Stephany is kind, professional, and communicates well and promptly. My cat is very picky (what cat isn’t but to the extreme that she will hide for lots of sitters) and loves her. Thank you, Stephany, for always being amazing!”
“My two pups seemed to love Adyson!!! I booked her with fairly short notice and she did 2 drop in visits with my dogs on a day when I was going to be gone for 13 hrs. It was the first time my puppy had been alone for a long period of time. Adyson came by both times and spent time letting the dogs out and giving them so love and play time! I cam home to zero accidents or destruction (the pup loves to destroy throw pillows!) and 2 happy dogs! She sent me pictures of both visits so I could see how happy they were! Thanks Adyson!!”
“Sydney is an amazing pet sitter. My bird doesn’t like many women but came to sit on her shoulder right away. She was able to come check on Ricky kind of last minute New Year’s week and I’m so glad she was available.”
“We have trusted Amanda to watch our cat several times. She is very responsive, responsible, and cares about the animal. She always leaves a long and thorough review every day which gives us peace of mind that our cat is getting the best care. We trust Amanda to do a good job as always and are thankful to have found her!”
“Carlie was great with my two cats while I was away! She kept them to their food schedule, made sure they had play and window time, cleaned up any messes, and was able to give my older cat his nightly medicine! My house and my two kitties were in perfect condition when I got home. Would definitely recommend/book again!”
“Lauren is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was great with our two dogs - especially with the one that is nervous around people outside of our family. She took great care of them, played outside with them every drop in, and communicated with us each time and sent lots of pictures. Were already planning on using her again for our next trip!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thornton
Julianne’s been reliable, responsive and an absolute joy. Bowie heard the front door unlock the other day (an entrance we don’t use often) and stopped what he was doing to wait eagerly at the door. Quickly we realized he had started associating the door lock sound with Julianne’s arrival, and it made me so happy that seeing her is something he looks forward to.
I cant say enough about my experience woth Jason. Just a super nice guy. My dogs absolutely loved him amd so.did my uncle. I think that's important to note. My uncle has cancer and isn't able to walk the dogs on his own. Jason wasnt just kind to my furry family. He was super kind to my uncle. That meant the workd to me. Thank you brother. You are definitely one of the good guys and will be my future go to dor care of my dogs when im out of town working
Wendy is the absolute best! I had ongoing visits scheduled for almost a year and she was 100% reliable. Her communication is excellent and she is flexible if schedules change. She is great with my dog and very attentive. Overall, I highly recommend booking with her as I’m sure your pets will love her!
Carlie always takes the most amazing care of my cats when I’m away! I get detailed updates and plenty of pictures of them which puts my mind at ease knowing she’s the one watching them. She’s also able to give my cat his medicine even when he’s feeling picky. Would definitely recommend.
It was such a relief to find Kayli before my trip abroad! She has been incredibly reliable on weekly walks when I’m in the office and then stayed with my two pups for 10 days. Kayli is warm and professional, and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my furbabies are in good hands. She also took great care of my home and it was lovely to come home to it as I left it. Thank you, Kayli!
I have been looking for a consistent person to watch my dog and Taylor is the perfect fit!! Mello loves her so much and she takes care of him like he is her own! I came home to a happy healthy dog!! I am so glad I found taylor and will continue to book with her moving forward. Thank you so much Taylor!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Thornton on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 13,870 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thornton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Thornton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thornton. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
