Availability

I am a full time college student so I make my own schedule. My dog and any pet in my care is not left alone for more than 3 hours at a time. Walks are every 3-4 hours or as needed. If the weather is good, I live right across from campus so we go to there once a day to get some exercise and zoomies out.

Information Kolby W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is food aggressive or toy possessive. Feedings will be separate but this information is good to know for when we have snack time. Also, any information on your pet is welcome and wanted to make sure they have the best time in my care!

A typical day

An exercised dog is a happy dog! First thing in the morning we take a long walk around the whole campus and then come home to eat breakfast. Potty breaks a couple of hours. I live right across from campus so in the evening we walk back over to campus to get our zoomies out on one of the big fields. I have a very high energy 1 year old dog so these walks and time outside is essential. I do like to do some basic training with treats once a day or throughout the day as well to keep his mind stimulated.

Pet care experience

I am experienced with dogs of all sizes and ages! I have worked with small dogs including Tea Cup Yorkies and bigger dogs including Cane Corsos. Potty training puppies is no problem for me as I actually enjoy it! There's nothing sweeter than helping and watching puppies learn this whole life thing. I also foster kittens so I'm experienced to properly care for them as well.

Kolby was a great fit for our two dogs. They came home happy and well taken care of! One of our dogs has a good amount of separation anxiety, and when we picked him up he was happy as a clam. Sometimes with other boarding situations, when we picked him up he would be visibly upset with us for multiple days. This was exactly the opposite case with Kolby! That's partly how we know that this was a great fit. Other than that, Kolby was easy to get a hold of and check in with us about how things were going while we were gone. Definitely recommend booking Kolby!

Disappointing experience. Service was not provided as promised and Rover provided a full refund.

Kolby was great! She took amazing care of my pup, and he loved getting to play with her dog as well. I would recommend Kolby to anyone looking for a sitter.

Kolby was a fantastic choice for a dog sitter. We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and I am so glad we found Kolby. She absolutely loves animals and it shows! She was so sweet with our King. She kept him active and integrated him with her own sweet dog perfectly. She kept us informed and sent us several pictures throughout his stay (without being asked) and would’ve sent as many as we would’ve requested. We will definitely use Kolby again. She is a responsible, loving sitter and I highly recommend her!
