We cannot recommend Kolby enough! We dropped the ball on arranging care for our dog, Penny during our wedding weekend. Not only did we need someone to watch Penny, but also needed someone to bring her to our venue, as she was an important part of our wedding ceremony. On very short notice, we found Kolby through Rover, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she loves dogs and makes them feel safe and at home. She went above and beyond to care for Penny, kept us updated with daily photos, and ensured everything went smoothly on our big day. Thanks to Kolby, Penny was happy, cared for, and our wedding went off without a hitch!

Kolby was amazing! We were visiting from out of town and were looking for someone to watch our pup for a few hours so we could go on a few tours. She was super responsive and sent lots of photos. We came back to a very happy pup. Highly recommend and I hope we get to meet again next time we are in Newport!
