Pet care experience

Years of calm reliable care!

I’ve been handling dogs of every size 15 years — family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with walks, feeding, house checks, and daily routines. I’m comfortable with energetic pups that need structure and seniors that need extra patience, slower walks, and special needs. I stick to your instructions, send photo updates, and treat every dog like they’re mine. Hospitality background means I’m reliable, on time, and good at following a plan.

Cody is fantastic and loving with dogs and has just an all around pleasant personality. I would trust him with my dogs again any day.

Cody is one of the most caring, responsible, and patient people I know when it comes to animals. He helped care for our dogs and genuinely loves and treats them like family. He is attentive, trustworthy, and always makes sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I would absolutely trust Cody with any pet and highly recommend him as a caregiver!

Schedule

I work in restaurant management in San Diego, so my availability is strongest on weekday mornings and early afternoons, plus select evenings and weekends depending on the week. Drop-ins, walks, and house sitting work well around that. I’ll confirm exact windows before you book and keep the same routine every visit so your pet isn’t guessing.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in your home so their space, crate, feeding setup, and rules stay the same. Doors stay locked, gates stay as you left them, and I follow your instructions on walks, meds, and who they can meet. You’ll get photo updates during the visit. If your dog is crate-trained I’ll use it; if not, I won’t force it.

A typical day

I like to keep days structured but fun. Morning starts with a potty break and a short walk so they can sniff and settle. Then we mix in fetch, tug, or puzzle toys depending on energy level, plus a longer neighborhood walk or a trip to a nearby park. Afternoons are usually quieter—chew time, training games, or just hanging out so they don’t get overstimulated. I’ll send photos and a quick update so you know how the day went.

Please tell me about any medical needs, meds, allergies, or behaviors I should plan for—resource guarding, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, or anything that changes how we walk or play. I also want to know their usual routine, favorite toys, and any house rules (furniture, crates, other pets). The more I know upfront, the smoother the stay and the safer it is for your dog.
