Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Cody as our dog walker for our beloved Schnauzer, Jimmy. From the moment Cody steps through the door, it's clear that he has a genuine love for dogs, and his passion for what he does shines through in every interaction with our furry family member. One of the standout qualities about Cody is the quality time he dedicates to Jimmy during their walks. It's not just a stroll around the block – Cody goes above and beyond to ensure that Jimmy gets the exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization he needs. We've noticed a significant positive change in Jimmy's behavior since Cody started walking him. Not only is he physically tired, but he also seems calmer and more content overall. What sets Cody apart is his ability to connect with dogs on a personal level. It's evident that he takes the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs. Jimmy, in particular, adores Cody, and his tail wags with excitement every time he hears Cody's approaching footsteps. This, in turn, has made a tremendous impact on our ability to spend more quality time with Jimmy. As busy professionals, my husband and I appreciate Cody's reliability and consistency. He has never missed a scheduled walk, and we can always count on him to provide the utmost care for Jimmy. The peace of mind we have knowing that our dog is in Cody's capable hands allows us to focus on our work during the day, knowing that Jimmy is getting the attention and exercise he deserves. Cody's communication is another commendable aspect of his service. He keeps us updated with adorable photos and brief summaries of their adventures, making us feel connected to Jimmy even when we're not at home. It's evident that Cody takes pride in his work, and his commitment to the well-being of the dogs in his care is truly heartwarming. In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Cody to anyone seeking a dog walker who goes above and beyond. His passion for animals, reliability, and the positive impact he has had on our Schnauzer's well-being make him an invaluable part of our furry family's life. Thank you, Cody, for being the paws-itively perfect dog walker!
