Our Story

At A Rising Star, we believe animals deserve more than just a place to stay — they deserve a place where they are truly cared for, understood, and treated like family.

We’re proud to call Arvada home, and as a locally owned and operated business, we love serving the families and pet owners right here in our community. We stay active and involved locally, and we’re grateful to be trusted by so many wonderful people in the area.

Our team is passionate about providing a safe, structured, and loving environment where every horse and pet receives the individual attention they need to thrive. From daily care routines to facility safety and comfort, we take pride in doing things the right way — with consistency, compassion, and experience.

We also understand that trusting someone else with your animal is a big decision — because we’re pet owners too. We have fur babies of our own, and we treat every animal in our care with the same attention and love we would want for them.

That’s why we focus not only on excellent care, but also on clear communication. Our staff works hard to keep owners informed, offering updates and support so you always feel confident your animals are safe, comfortable, and happy.

Whether you’re looking for quality boarding, dependable care, or a facility that prioritizes animal wellness, A Rising Star is here to serve you with a team that truly loves what they do.

We’re honored to be part of your animal’s story — and we’d love to welcome you to the A Rising Star family.
