“Thank you for taking care of our Maddie. Margaret was kind enough to meet our girl before she came to walk and care for her. I loved the pictures and information received. My pup has a lot of separation anxiety and we were glad to have Margaret here to take care of her.”
About: I've cared for my sister's dog for over 5 years, and she means the world to me. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I treat them like family. I'm a passionate animal lover who values their happiness, comfort, and well-being above all else. Whether it's walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I strive to make every moment special for the pets in my care. I currently work a part-time job, but I’m fully committed to making time for dog sitting on my days off. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate your needs on any days I’m not working at my other job. Caring for animals is my passion, and I’m dedicated to providing reliable, attentive, and loving care whenever I’m available. When caring for pets in a clients home, I respect their space and follow any instructions provided carefully. My goal is to make sure the pets feel secure by maintaining regular routines.
“Matt is very reliable and good with my dogs!! Matt has even gone the extra mile when I had asked him last minute to let my contractor in when I wasn't able to leave work! Glad to have found Matt when I moved to this area!”
“Amanda was great! She is always on time and makes our dogs care her priority. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a responsible dog sitter or walker.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs for my entire life which has given me many skills that I now share with other dog owners. I am very comfortable with walks, playtime, and routines for dogs of all ages and personalities. I love exercising and going on long walks, so I can accommodate for any walking needs. I will be sure to give your dog the attention they need while keeping owners updated with pictures so you know that your dog is having a safe and fun time! I am a college student home for the summer, so I am available all day during the week to care for and/or walk your pup! As a lifelong dog owner, I will be sure to treat your dog and your space with the same respect and care that I would my own.
“Libby is fantastic all around, especially when dealing with my shy, older dog and communicating with me. She intuitively understands my dog’s needs and apprehensions and is sensitive to my own desires and practices with my pup. I’m so glad I chose her over another walker!”
About: Dependable dog sitter. Love all types of dogs. Our dog is part of the family and yours will be too! Lexi is our 5 year old Labradoodle and she very friendly and loves to play with other dogs! My kids are grown so I have more time on my hands. We have never had to put Lexi in a kennel thanks to family and friends and want to help make sure other dogs can stay at home too! Looking to make dogs feel safe and happy is my goal. I love to take dogs on long walks and play ball with them. We have a large yard and lots of dog toys! Have helped dogs with invisible fence training and learning not to pull when on walks.
About: I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter who treats every pet like my own. I have experience with all types of animals and live on 2 acres of land, giving pets plenty of space to enjoy. I’m patient with young pets who need help with training and routines, and gentle with senior pets who need extra care. I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. As someone who currently works part-time, I'm available to provide pet care after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, and I have additional availability on weekends. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply giving them love and companionship. I treat every pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for all kinds of animals. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed, and any special routines. Whether it's dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, or other pets, I provide patient, dependable care while maintaining a clean and safe environment. My goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and as comfortable as possible while their owners are away.
“Briana has been awesome. Very reliable and easy to communicate with. Our dog is very relaxed and happy when we arrive home. Thank you for being so good with our bucky!”
“Danielle is great! Very responsive to messages and very accommodating to our needs, even with last minute changes due to bad weather or scheduling issues.”
About: I’ve been around and owned dogs my whole life and have gained an unconditional love for them. Your dog will be in great hands, that is a guarantee. Dogs will get the proper love and care that is needed. Your pooch will always be played with, fed, walked and pampered to the max with me. I get just as excited to see a dog as a dog would be to see me, so our energies together will make for one exciting day in the park, a run, or just even a leaisurely stroll around the neighborhood. My schedule is quite flexible and I will always try my best to accommodate to your and your pets needs. I really look forward to getting to work with the many dogs on here. I would love to take care of pets on a daily basis! Animals have always been a passion of mine. I absolutely love being around pets whether it be my own or someone else's! I take my dog, Ace, on daily walks in the morning and at night. We play in the backyard whenever the weather allows us to. Ace is a big part of my life and I give him the best life I can possible give him. We do everything together whenever I am home. Between eating meals together to taking naps together. I would give anyone else's pet the same attention and compassion I give my own dog because that is what pets deserve.

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.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Thornton.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thornton. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
