About: Growing up on a farm I have had experience with animals my whole life. I have had small dogs of my own since I was born and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I can accommodate almost any pet! I am fully available Thursday evening, Friday-Sunday all day and night. I will have time to give your pets full attention! I will be available to take they out and walk as often as requested. I have a large fenced yard and two small friendly dogs to keep your company or they can be kept separate if you wish. I take the time to ensure all pets are safe and attended to.
“When I was injured and unable to walk my dog, Luna, Matthew was an absolute lifesaver. He showed up every single day; rain or shine; right on time, without fail. His reliability and dedication gave me such peace of mind during a challenging time. Not only was he dependable, but Luna absolutely adores him. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks. Matthew’s consistency, kindness, and professionalism have been an essential part of both my recovery and Luna’s happiness. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog 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.
“She stepped in when I had a last minute dog walking request. Wonderful communicator, took the time to make sure my dog was comfortable and took the best photos to send to me of my dog!”
About: I grew up with a big Labradoodle and have lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and even stay overnight with their pups. I love spending time with every dog and getting to know what makes each one special! I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule! I am available for sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine! I follow each pet’s routine, including feedings, walks, and any special care. I keep everything clean, give pets plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing!
“Dante was amazing! Our faith was terrified of him even growled at him, but he did not give up and was able to take her out for her walk. We got home from our day out and she was fine. He’s very professional and responds very quickly! I highly recommend !!!”
About: My name is Eleanor. We recently lost our own senior dogs who were 17, 16 and 15. We fostered and subsequently adopted a corgi puppy who we nursed through a PDA heart surgery. He is a happy, healthy pup and LOVES being with other dogs. I am also the mom of five children who are 13, 12, 9 and 5 year old twins. I have provided pet care services for many years but started back up after the addition of our twins :) My husband works from home which allows me to come help you with your furry friend! I am on the board of a senior dog rescue called Senior Dog Haven and Hospice and ran it for 10+ years until I recently passed on the reins. We rescue dogs aged 7 and up that have found themselves homeless later in life. I love animals, especially elderly ones, and have dedicated my life to their care. I have fostered almost 100 senior dogs in the last 10 years and have a ton of experience with special needs dogs. I would love to come love on your dog and spoil them anytime you need me! We require your furry friend to be kid and dog friendly as they will get lots of love from our pack of children and our puppy, Gus Gus! I am a stay at home mom with a husband that works from home. Our schedule is extremely flexible and someone is almost always home. I have a one acre fenced in yard that has a small dog and large dog fenced in area. I love animals and will always take the very best care of them! We often host doggy day care days to tire out pups! We take caring for your furry loved ones seriously, and carry our own insurance coverage for your added peace of mind!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always been passionate about caring for animals. In addition to being a lifelong dog owner, I work in healthcare, where attention to detail, patience, compassion, and reliability are essential every day. I bring those same qualities to pet care. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work full time Tuesday–Friday from 8 AM–4 PM, with occasional Saturdays, but I’m available for evenings and weekends, and drop-in care. Mondays are bit more flexible as of now , that is subject to change end of August. I have two French Bulldogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with the special care and attention this breed requires. Because Frenchies can be prone to overheating and breathing difficulties, I closely monitor activity levels, especially during warm weather, and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a comfortable environment, and plenty of rest. As both a lifelong dog owner and a healthcare professional, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, routine, and overall well-being. I follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by pet parents and make sure pets receive plenty of love, supervision, and companionship. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I maintain a clean, safe environment and treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I strive to provide reliable care and regular updates so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Margo is incredibly compassionate and caring. She is so helpful, reliable, a great communicator and has gone above and beyond. She is caring for my elderly mom's dog - walking him 3 times a day, handling his food, water and medicine. My mom's dog absolutely loves her and whines at the door when he realizes that she's arrived. Margo is also great with my elderly mom. Hire her! You won't regret it.”
About: I’m a huge animal lover who connects with pets quickly and genuinely loves caring for them. Expect lots of affection, detailed updates, and someone who will learn their quirks fast and cater to them accordingly. Their happiness, comfort, and safety are my top priorities! I’m a freelance musician with a flexible schedule and great availability during regular weekday hours. Being my own boss allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, consistency, and care—I love using that flexibility to spend time with all the furry friends I meet 🐾 I respect your home and treat it with the utmost care while I’m there. I only use what’s necessary to care for your pet and always make sure everything is left just as I found it. My focus is on providing attentive, reliable care for your pet while being mindful that I’m a guest in your space.
About: I have had and been around dogs since before I can remember! I grew up with 3 little Jack Russells and now have an adorable Newfypoo. I have always loved training, playing with, and taking care of my pets, as well as looking after other pets for friends, neighbors, or family. I would love to meet your pets and promise they will be in great care! I am looking to care for some pets this summer and into the upcoming year! I am flexible with times so please reach out if interested! I have a large yard that your pets can run around in, as well as a large home to play in. My dog is a 7-year-old Newfypoo named Theo to keep your pets company. He is a loving, playful, gentle giant! I also have 3 sisters who all absolutely adore animals. Safe to say your pets will be in great hands and have lots of attention!
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: This Kat loves animals 🐾 I truly love seeing animals happy—whether they’re running, playing, or simply feeling safe and relaxed. My goal is to create a calm, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and genuinely loved. I have hands-on experience working in both a veterinary office and a doggie daycare, which has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and attentive care. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or an overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. If your pet stays with me, I focus on helping them feel secure and at ease—like they’re right at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and lots of love. I’m also vegan and deeply value compassion for all animals, which naturally carries into how I care for the pets I work with. Their well-being, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy because of the connection and joy animals bring. I know how important your pet is to you, and I take that trust seriously. I am working part time and would love to fit some pet care into my schedule. My job is very flexible and I have at least 20 hours to devote to pet care if not more I have a fenced yard and a small terrier mix that loves company or a possible playmate. I am excited to provide a safe haven for your furry friend
“Nicole is amazing! She has phenomenal photography skills and makes sure to send plenty of photos of my pup while she is with him! It's a nice break in the day to see pictures of your happy dog. I have a new puppy and when she visits, I never know what kind of mood Milo will be in. She has been flexible in walking him part of the time and playing with him indoors the rest of the time if he's not up for a long walk. Her reviews of his behavior and mood are also helpful, and give me an idea of what to expect when I get home. I also really appreciated her visiting prior to any booking to meet and greet Milo - it gave me a chance to meet her and learn about her background. I felt very comfortable leaving Milo in her hands!”
About: I have had two family dogs, Murphy and Miley, who have been my very best buddies. In addition to having dog- and cat-sat many summers before, my college roommate also had a sweet cat, Phoebe, that I cared for in her absence. I am ready to care for all types of dogs and cats, and I love dog walking! I recently graduated from Clemson University with a biology degree. I am a recent college graduate with a biology degree currently looking for full-time research work. In the meantime, I want to put my deep love for pets to work! As such, my schedule is very flexible at the moment. I am well versed in hanging out with dogs and cats. I have lived with both, cared for both, and love to hang out (and cuddle if they like!), play inside, or take long walks with them.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Thornton on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
