“Leigh was great and so flexible with my last minutes needs! Every detail was followed and Duch was well taken care of! I definitely recommend Leigh and will be rebooking in the future!!”
“Eleanor did an amazing job taking care of our cat Jax that is facing kidney issues. Jax requires multiple oral medicines as well as an IV injection daily, neither of which he is a fan of, but Eleanor was able to swaddle him, administer his medicines, and make it as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend.”
“Margaret is fantastic! She always takes excellent care of our kitties while we’re away, and it’s a comfort to see our fur babies doing so well when we come home!”
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.
About: I’m an avid animal lover with plenty of dog experience. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds. I was a dog walker for a few families while my kids were young and at school. I currently have a senior pittie. I don’t have a ton of cat experience, but I’m always happy to learn! I work full time from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I can easily do mornings, late afternoon and evenings as well as weekends. I can come to your home for visits, walks and playtime. My dog is family, your home and animals will be treated the same way.
About: Hi there! I have experience working with young puppies, adult dogs, and elderly friends. I’ve worked with both high-energy and low-energy dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and dogs with mobility issues. I am so excited to meet your pup and help you out in the process! As a certified dog handler with my local shelter, I’ve received training for safe handling practices, especially with dogs that are new to me. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands. During the summer, I typically work Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:00 pm, so I am available for morning and evening drop-ins/walks only. During the school year, my schedule is more varied: Sundays - available until 11:00 am and after 7:00 pm Monday, Wednesday - available until 8:00 am and after 6:00 pm Tuesday, Thursday - available until 12:00 pm, and after 9:00 pm Friday, Saturday - available all day You can rest assured that I will take the very best care of your pup. I take safety very seriously and will do whatever you prefer for your pet’s needs and comfortability.
About: Hi! I’m Maya, a lifelong animal lover with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and two cats of my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care I give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, you can count on your pet being in great hands! I work remotely Monday through Friday, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I can stop by throughout the day for visits, walks, and check-ins, or, if preferred, I’m happy to work from your home so your pets have extra company and care while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of attention. I always make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and lots of love while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth! Came two days in a row with only a one-day notice. She came right on time and took great care of Bogey both days. Communication was great, she sent cute pictures/updates, and it was clear our pup was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I will definitely book with her again!”
“Ariana was so sweet and responsive. She took great care of our big sweet boy. He took some pictures too which is nice. We will definitely keep using Ariana for walking Rio. Thank you so much!”
“Alex is amazing and I feel very lucky to have her care for my cat. My cat really enjoys being with her and always looks happy in the photos and videos she sends. She gives thoughtful updates after every visit and keeps me reassured when I am away. She is easy to talk to and always responsive. I would happily recommend Alex and will absolutely book with her again.”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two cats. He posted daily photos, which I greatly looked forward to each day while on vacation. He has excellent communication skills, and I know my cats will miss him! I would definitely recommend his services to any other cat owner that is looking for a cat sitter!”
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.
“Nicole is a wonderful petsitter. She is very punctual and never late for her visits. She is very responsible with the safety and security of he house and would always leave the back door and front door locked. Oscar always looks forward to her visits and gives her a lots of licks.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Thornton on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 8,973 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Thornton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Thornton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thornton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
