About: I work from home with two friendly pups who love new friends! We’ve got a fenced yard, daily walks, and frequent dog park trips. Pup cups are a must in our routine. Your dog will feel right at home here! My life basically runs on dog time! Working remotely means I’m always around for walks, play breaks, and pup cup runs. My two dogs love having a buddy to join our daily adventures. Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule—it is my schedule! In my home, dogs are treated like family! I keep a consistent routine with plenty of playtime, walks, and downtime. Since my own dogs are crate trained at night, I ask that visiting pups bring a crate too for bedtime comfort and safety. I also prefer dogs who are housebroken, enjoy walks, and are good on a leash. To make sure everyone gets along, I like to schedule a quick meet-and-greet so your pup can meet my two friendly dogs before their stay. With a fully fenced backyard, your pup will have a safe space to play and relax.

“This is the fifth time, I believe, I’ve used Sherry to take care of Marley while I was on an out of town trip, and like the previous times, I cannot be more thankful. I received daily photos and videos of Marley, as well as text updates with how things were going. Sherry treats my baby like her own, and that’s what I want in someone watching my dog while I away. Thank you, Sherry; until next time!”

About: I can't remember a time in my life when I haven't been around animals. For over 25 years, I have provided pet care through rescuing, fostering, pet sitting, and loving my own pets. In November 2025, I turned my passion for animals into a professional pet sitting career. I have experience with all stages of life - from birth to end if life. When your fur babies are with me, they aren't just "clients"—they are family. I combine a deep, natural love for animals with top-tier professional training to give your pets the happiest, safest experience possible while you are away. I hold a CPS-DW certification through Professional Pet Care Association, Pet First Aid through American Red Cross, and active pet care liability insurance for your extra peace of mind. I am a full-time professional pet sitter working from home. I spend the majority of my days walking, playing, and caring for my Fort Carson family pets whenever they need me. I take clients from on post 7 days a week & on holidays that I am local. I take off post clients within a reasonable distance for daycare, boarding, and drop-ins. Your routine is my routine! If you provide a specific schedule, it is followed exactly as you have requested. If not, your pets are cared for just as gently and attentively as I care for my own. During my 30 to 45-minute visits, your pets are the center of my attention. A typical day includes: Outdoor Time & Play: Ample time outside to stretch their legs, either in your own backyard or in my fully fenced-in yard, depending on where they are staying. Exercise & Fresh Air: Quick walks for potty breaks and fun playtime, topped off with a long, relaxing evening stroll to wind down the day. All the Love: As much attention, affection, and belly rubs as your pet wants during our time together! I also take as many pictures as I can to send to you!

“Aliya was absolutely amazing with my cat Poppy! She provided multiple updates throughout the day and sent pictures. My cat is my baby so it always makes me nervous having someone watch her but I would gladly book with her again and would recommend her for anyone else! They provided a very peaceful environment for her. Thank you for providing such great care to my girl!”

About: I am a lifelong dog owner and have one Chihuahua. Since we recently lost his brother, he misses having a buddy around. I have an open and flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time to provide extra love, attention, and fun playdates to a visiting fur baby. I know exactly how to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. Your dog will get a gentle, friendly Chihuahua companion to share their days with. I would love to welcome your furry family member into our home! Thank you! I work part-time during the school year (3 days a week), and I'm off from work during the summer months. I have time to care for, and give attention to your fur baby. I have a fenced backyard and one dog (a chihuahua) of my own. I have a kennel and dog beds if your fur baby needs them.

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals. My pet policy is, the more the merrier! While in my home your pet will be treated as part of the family. I currently live with my boyfriend, Ryan and many pets including Tank, my loving playful husky, two conures named havoc and Phoenix, and my honduran milk snake named Severus Snake. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs including some of the more difficult breeds like samoyids, pitbulls, border collies, and other working dogs to name a few. During their stay, your pets will get walked every day, sometimes multiple times a day depending on their needs. They will get to run the yard as needed to release energy and for potty breaks. I have lots of toys they can choose from including Kongs which get washed frequently, tennis balls, ropes, squeaky toys, chew toys, and am always acquiring more so they will never be bored. I allow dogs on the couch and bed if they want and have a dog bed available if they prefer. I have experience in senior dog care as well. I unfortunately lost one of my fur babies after 18 years of un together and am willing to administer mwdication and do frequent wellness checks to ensure the happiness and safety of you beloved friend. Please reach out if your pup needs a happy comfy fun place to hang out for awhile. I would love to meet them. Please note that due to the respiratory virus that has surfaced in Colorado, I am not accepting fur babies that have been to a dog park or large boarding facility within the last 30 days. Please do t take that the wrong way, I simply endeavor to keep everyone's family in one loving piece as ot should be. I love all animals and would love to board every dog out there when needed so they feel safe while their family is away. Hopefully this will pass soon and believe me I really do. My husky, Tank loves the dog park and it has been sad for both of us not going there. Tank is up to date on all vaccines and recently got his flu shot. He would love to have more friends to hang out with. I currently work from home until about 1:30 everyday leaving plenty of time for walks, fetch, and any other needs your dog has. While working I get plenty of breaks and loading screens to cate for your dog and make sure they're happy and comfortable. As soon as I'm off work, your wonderful dog can look forward to a nice long walk, maybe some fetch or tug depending on what they feel like doing each day, and a peanut butter Kong (with permission) as a reward for their journey through the neighborhood or a cheyenne mountain trail (with permission). I have a fenced in yard so your fur baby can run and play with my loving, playful, and well mannered husky Tank. Please note that we are still in the process of moving in and if booked before Januarry 22 the yard might be messy and the pups will always be supervised in it. Your dog will never have to be alone as while under my care, I will be present the whole time. Pet messes are no worry here. I will never get angry at your dog for having an accident, I will simply try to redirect them outside. Your fur baby will be treated like family and loved like one of my own. I will follow any instructions exactly how they are written. If your pup needs mods I'll make sure they get them the minute it is time for them, if they need to eat separately or specific portions no problem. Please feel free to leave a list of dos and don'ts. I want their stay to be like a little vacation for them not like a boarding facility.

About: Hi! I’m Jo, a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, backgrounds, and personalities! I’m a proud dog mom to two wonderful pups, Kahlua (Lulu), a Cane Corso/Pit Bull mix, and Huckleberry (Huck), a rescue who came from a difficult background. Raising and working with these two has taught me just how important patience, consistency, trust, and understanding are when caring for animals. Lulu has given me plenty of experience with energetic, strong, enthusiastic dogs who benefit from structure, training, and mental stimulation. Huck has taught me the importance of helping rescue dogs build confidence, feel safe, and adjust to new environments at their own pace. I’m comfortable with large breeds, different energy levels, reinforcing basic commands, maintaining feeding routines, and working with dogs who may need a little extra patience or reassurance. Whether your pet is staying with me, enjoying a walk, or receiving a drop-in visit, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own! ❤️ I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM, leaving plenty of time in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, training, and cuddles! As a dog mom to two active pups, caring for dogs is already a big part of my everyday routine. I have a dedicated outdoor dog run for exercise and playtime, and I love making sure every dog gets the attention and enrichment they need. For weekday boarding, I do require visiting dogs to be comfortable resting in a kennel while I’m at work. Outside of work hours, they’ll receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection! I’m happy to discuss your dog’s normal schedule and needs to make their stay as comfortable and consistent as possible. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I share my home with two wonderful dogs, Lulu, my energetic Cane Corso/Pit Bull mix, and Huck, my rescue pup. They’ve given me valuable experience with different personalities, energy levels, training needs, and the importance of patience and positive reinforcement. My home has a dedicated outdoor dog run where pups can enjoy fresh air, exercise, and supervised playtime. I prioritize safe introductions and making sure every dog feels comfortable around my own. For everyone’s safety, I require boarding dogs to be kennel-trained and comfortable relaxing in their kennel while I’m at work (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–3 PM). This helps maintain a safe, structured environment when I’m away. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, so I’m happy to provide regular photos, updates, and communication throughout their stay. For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, respect your home, and maintain your dog’s familiar routine. My goal is to provide the same love, patience, and attention I’d want someone to give my own dogs! 🐾

I can't say enough wonderful things about Minho's dog sitter! She is absolutely amazing, caring, reliable, and genuinely loves what she does. She took such great care of Minho and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was away. I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and dedication. Minho was happy and well cared for, and that means everything to me! 🐶❤️ I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I will definitely book with her again!

After moving from Ohio back to our hometown Colorado, naturally we took our prized possession first. We had more time to go back and grab the rest of our possessions. But when my grandparents became sick, it threw a wrench in all of our plans. I will recommend her for sure for any of your animals needs, but more so she is understanding and flexible; because at the end of the day life happens and there are things out of our control. My animals are like my kids and she went above and beyond. I will absolutely recommend her and we will definitely be our go to as a pet sitter. My husband and my own families don’t like animals and refused help us. So your fur babies are safe at her home or in her care at your home. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my cats. I know they can be alot to deal with!

Tara accepted a last minute book requests. Unfortunately, it turned out the dog we adopted 5 months ago is not okay with other dogs. She notified me right away after trying different solutions to get my dog comfortable with hers. Tara let me know as I was headed out of town, and I was able to go get Echo before heading out again.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Fountain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Fountain is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 921 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Fountain. About 93% of Fountain sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

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.

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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
