“Our lab mix Dolly spent a few nights with Christy, and we couldn't have been more pleased. Christy sent many photos of Dolly playing, hiking, resting, and enjoying her time there. We'll definitely reach out to Christy again the next time!”
“Kim took great care with our dog and let us know that she was doing ok. She was very flexible working with our schedule. I appreciated the fenced yard and felt that our pup would be safe there.”
“Benjamin and Laura did a fantastic job watching our 4-year-old Bernedoodle for 10 days. They were responsible, kind, quick to respond, and flexible around ideal drop off and pick up times. They sent regular updates and pictures, which gave us peace of mind that our dog was enjoying her time (playing, walking, resting). She also got along very well with their two dogs. I definitely would trust Benjamin and Laura to watch our dog for a future trip.”
“Hailey was fantastic with our pups. She sent us pictures and updates for them to help set our minds at ease. There was plenty of room outside for our dogs to run and play. When we picked up our dogs, they were happy and playful. They were very clearly well taken care of. We will definitely use Hailey again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Riggs than Ric! He was so kind and loving towards our old dog. He had him outside a ton, gave him great walks, followed our specific food instructions perfectly, and just genuinely obviously cared about Riggs being safe and comfortable. He was also super communicative during Riggs’ whole stay, and flexible with drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend Ric!”
“Steve and Keely took amazing care of my 11-month old black lab Rain. Their lab Sabra and Rain became fast friends and played together constantly during her 2-day stay. Rain had plenty of room inside and had daily walks and outside time as well. Steve sent me photos and updates throughout her stay. I have already rebooked with Steve for a weeklong trip I am taking next week. I can’t recommend him enough.”
“She was so good about keeping me updated and sending pictures of my precious girl! She even took the time to take her on adventures! She has been sleeping and snoring since we got home!”
About: Experienced walker and drop-in sitter with a lifetime of dog care. I’ve loved huskies, goldens, chihuahuas, vizslas and more. Currently raising two vizslas and a French bulldog. Great with puppies and seniors; dependable care, safe leash handling, and thoughtful updates. I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I’d love to offer pet parents piece of mind while away from their pets or just busy with life. I know how it is with pets of my own. Safety comes first on every visit. I arrive on time, follow your routine, and double-check doors, gates, and leash/harness fit before leaving. No off-leash walking unless pre-approved in a secure area. I choose calm routes, watch weather (heat/ice/salt), carry water/poop bags/towel, and monitor body language. At home, I refresh water, feed/medicate per instructions, tidy litter or wipe paws, and do a quick home check (locks, lights, alarms). I respect your privacy, keep keys/codes secure, and never bring guests. You’ll receive clear, time-stamped photo updates—and GPS walk summaries if you’d like.
“Lika was great, clearly explained where drop off was. Responsive, helpful communication. My baby had a great overnight stay and got to play with other pups. She even has a small backyard area which is great.”
“Our dog had an awesome time with Allaire and was very well cared for while we were away! Allaire was very responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely use Allaire again for boarding!”
“Maile is so sweet, and she took my dogs in like they were her own ❤️ I could not have picked a better person to take care of my two German Shepherds. She kept me updated and even sent me some videos! She will be my go to for furbaby sitters from now on ??”

Every sitter 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.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local 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 NH 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.
