“This was my first time using Sharon and all went well. She sent photos and videos of Lily and took Lily on frequent walks. She was quick to respond to my texts. I really appreciate Sharon’s responsible and professional nature. And when I picked up Lily at the end of her stay, Sharon gifted her a bag of treats and toys and a thank you note! I will definitely use Sharon again.”
“Iman was a wonderful sitter! I usually take my dog to boarding when I go on vacation but they were all booked so this was a last minute decision I was a bit skeptical of. However Iman made me feel comfortable in choosing her, she kept me updated throughout my time a part from Bentley with lots of photos and videos. She even gave us a parting gift of some fresh wet food for him. Definitely will be rebooking in the future when services are needed. I think Bentley enjoyed himself a lot because as soon as we got home he was sleep like a baby, safe to say he had lots of fun!! Thank you again❤️”
“I had a great experience with Jesus! Sienna was right at home and Jesus made sure to send me updates and pictures every day. I felt very comfortable and assured that Sienna was in good hands for the week I was traveling for work. I will definitely be using Jesus again!”
“Our dog had such a great time with Mercedes! She got lots of walks and affection. I really appreciate the daily pictures and updates, too. Mercedes is such a kind person, and I knew she wanted to make this a great experience for all. We'd definitely use her again.”
“I really like Delilah’s sitter. She was nice and professional and I loved how she got her to feel comfortable with being there. Delilah has a stomach issue but the sitter sat with her and hand fed her. I would ofoved a lot more pictures but the ones she at made me feel comfortable with leaving her and knowing she was safe.”
“Many many thanks to Joy and Dan! I was anxious leaving Winston with someone I did not know but right away they put me at ease. We had our meet and greet and Winston took to one of their children immediately. During Winston’s stay, Joy and Dan sent photo updates - Winston was having a great time and had settled in well. My only concern was that Winston was having so much fun he wouldn’t want to come back home! I cannot recommend Joy and Dan highly enough and will definitely rebook, pending their availability.”
“I didn’t have to worry about my dog at all. I think my dog had more fun while I was on vacation than I did. I definitely recommend boarding your animal with her they will have a great time.”
“Sheree is very patient and understanding with our big puppy Blue ,he was very nervous and scared since it was his first night away and worked with him and kept us posted via text and photos,we really appreciate the thought and care she put into Blue! Thank you Sheree!”
“Shani (and her kiddos☺️) LOVED on my pup while I was away. Shani was an excellent communicator and sent update photos and videos, too. I really appreciated such good communication and how well Lady was taken care of. When you see your dog smiling in the update photos, you know it’s real. I’ll be looking to book Shani for my next trip away.”
“Leo and Mickey loved staying at Barbara's house. They said they felt right at home.( which may or may not be a good thing). They know if their human family goes away again they do not have to be afraid. If Barbara is home they are packing their things and going to her house!”
“Everything went according to plan. My Little Buddy seems to have enjoyed his stay. Beverly seems like a fine dog sitter I would use her services again without question,”
“Monica and Dan took amazing care of my Lola while I was out of town for a week. They sent daily check-ins and I knew Lola was in great hands the entire time and getting a "vacation" of her own. Would love to have her stay with them again and 100% recommend. Thanks so much!”
“Amy was amazing with Jax!!! She gave daily night reports, long walks, intentional playtime. Jax got along with her pups too. She even gave him a nice bath so he was perfect returning to us. I'm sure Jax didn't want to leave with all of the love and care from Amy. Highly recommend and will definitely return.”
“1000/10, She contacted me everyday with updates and pictures/ videos. I definitely will be recommending her to my friends and family. My dog loved Ms. Toya, she came back home just as happy as she was when I dropped her off!!!”
“My dog Buddy had the best of time with Janet. I would highly recommend Janet. Buddy was almost sad returning home. I received pictures during the stay which I really loved. Thank you Janet for making my dog feel at home and loved!”
“Patricia is a wonderful & caring person who treats your dog like family. Not knowing what we would expect in her care for our dog Stella due to her medical issues , Patricia went above & beyond what we ever imagined. She allowed us to enjoy our vacation & not worry about our Stella while we were thousands of miles away. She is a gem!!”
“We were going to Italy for eight days and I wanted to make sure Peyton would - be safe. My sweet boy is a senior with a few special needs. After reading Laura’s bio and reviews I decided to reach out to her to see if she were available for the dates I would be gone. I was impressed with her quick response she was indeed available and asked if I would like to do a meet and greet. We agreed on a date and time for Peyton and me to come for a visit. During our time there Peyton seemed relaxed and making himself very much at home, he even made a new friend! On the morning of Peyton’s stay he had no hesitation whatsoever he ran up to the door tails a wagging. I knew I made the right choice in booking with Laura. Thank you, Laura for taking such great care of my little guy and the updates and photos you sent… Really reassuring! :)”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,468 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Thornton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
93% of Thornton sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Thornton landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thornton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Thornton.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Thornton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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 IL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
