“I cannot say enough about Morgan, I am so grateful to her!!! With 4 dogs in total at the Owl's Nest for my son's wedding, she took hold of them all with her reassuring, genuine love of dogs, allowing us to enjoy the Rehearsal Dinner/Welcome Reception and the Wedding! I highly recommend her!”
“Peter and Sarah were wonderful. Very experienced with dogs. I felt like they treated Scotty like their own. They were very accommodating and helped me so much for my son’s wedding weekend . THANK YOU 😊”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I really get their needs and how to make them feel comfortable. I’m great with puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between. I’m patient, reliable, and always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I’m a college student looking to make some extra money, so I have plenty of flexibility to give pets real attention. I’m available after 1pm on weekdays and for weekend boarding. I love spending time with animals, so fitting playtime, walks, and care into my routine feels natural and easy for me. I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently have two of my own, so keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy is already part of my daily routine. I also volunteer at a local shelter, where I take dogs out for the day and help them get exercise, socialization, and a break from the kennel. I follow each owner’s routine, make sure pets are never left unsupervised, and give them plenty of attention and reassurance. My goal is always to make every dog feel relaxed, secure, and completely at home.
About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my lifetime, starting from a few weeks old and caring for them through their lives. Besides personal experience, I am my friends and families go to person when it comes to pet-sitting. Walking, feeding, bathing… you name it! My patience and love for dogs will ensure your bff has a happy and safe time away from home. I currently am working from home. This means I can easily take pee breaks as often as needed. Additionally, I will be able to take longer breaks for a mid day stretch. After work, my schedule is free to play and entertain with the pups. I have a nice backyard with easily usable for pee breaks. The neighborhood I live in is small and quiet. I live alone in an house and don’t currently have any other pets.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Thornton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
