Deployments
Months, not a weekend. Your dog lives in the house during the day. Overnight, dogs sleep in a kennel, and they are kenneled at meals.
Colorado Springs military families
You go. They stay home.
Long-term in-home boarding for deployments, TDY, field problems, and long schools. Same house, same family, photo updates while you are gone. Not a kennel row.
Who it is for
Orders, schools, and the gap before a PCS.
TDY and schools
NTC, JRTC, long courses, and field problems. Drop off before you report. Pick up when you are back in the Springs.
Families
Spouses, dual military, and caregivers who need a real home while one of you is gone. Meet and greet before the first stay.
The stay
A house in 80925, not a run.
Fenced yard, cameras, and a dog door when the house is awake. Jaxon and Tobby already live here. Oral and injected medication if your dog needs it. Photo updates — on Rover, every booking has included them.
House rate is $40 a night for the first dog and $30 for each additional dog. Rover lists $50 including its fee. No separate military price is published; ask when you request dates if a longer stay changes the quote. Holiday dates add a fee, confirmed in the reply.
Long military stays: a commander verification notice is required because of the length of the stay. It is a short formal confirmation of the dates and a point of contact, so the pup’s care can be planned for the full time you are gone. Mountain Pup will send it after the request. It is not a Department of Defense form.

1. Meet before you leave
Free meet and greet so the dogs and the house are a fit. Bring records and any meds routine.
2. Drop off on your timeline
Day or night. Emergency bookings if orders move. The form emails Care@ and texts the shop phone.
3. Updates, then pickup
Pictures while you can receive them. Same family at pickup. Jake’s two dogs stayed seven nights through a move — longer orders use that same setup.
