“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.”
“It was truly a pleasure having my pup Dallas stay with Iman! This was my first time having someone outside of family care for him and Iman put me at ease. The communication, pictures sent, comfort and compassion demonstrated was truly impeccable! I can't wait to blow and frame the photos you took of him, so professional; Im still trying to understand how you got him to pose, lol!! Thanks Again and see you soon!”
“Amia,Joshua and family have been nothing but great to my baby Barry. He loves spending time over there, I definitely recommend them. They are the best fit for your fur baby 🙂”
“Mercedes and her family were the best caregivers I could have asked for! I had to leave my 9 week old puppy for 6 days and I felt so comfortable with the level of care she was provided. I got multiple daily updates and photos of my little Luna playing with Mercedes, her cute pup, and her children. They had all the toys, bedding, and comforts my puppy needed. I loved it and it made me feel very confident with my decision in booking, I was worried she would want to stay there forever. :-) Mercedes and her family were very kind, sweet, genuine people and I’m so grateful for them! I will 100% be booking with Mercedes again. Thank you!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After Biggie's last terrible experience at a boarding service, Mariah is here for the win! From the moment we arrived, Mariah was warm, gentle and welcoming. Of course she sent regular updates with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. My dog came home happy, exhausted from all the attention she received and clearly loved. You can tell Mariah truly loves animals, treats them like family and went the extra mile to make sure my pup felt right at home. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future. Highly recommend!”

Latasha is the best, she made the whole process Completely simple and easy. I will be using her services again. And I can tell that my dog Charlie really did enjoy his stay. She kept me informed and sent lots of pictures. Thank you for providing my dog a home away from home.
Sharon is a amazing siyter. She took a lasy minute booking of our two fur babies, Cleo and Snowie, after our regular sitter pulled out the day before our trip to California. Our babies got to know her and we loved the photo and video at check-ins. Our elder Snowie can be a hard pleaser, but Sharon found her love language and they became fast friends. Cleo is our family cuddler and took to Sharon right away. Thanks Sharon for allowing us to mark a family milestone by being a fabulous sitter for our two babies.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Thornton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 4,567 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.
94% 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.
