My dog and I usually go for a walk in the morning after breakfast. My neighborhood is fantastic for dog-walking. There is a lot of grass and options for short or longer walks. There is also a park walking-distance or a dog park that is a very short drive, if that is more the vibe. During the afternoon we will chill at the house, maybe play a bit. I have a nice water filtration system so they will have filtered water access. I have a cute yard in the back with grass that the dogs can go out in throughout the day or night. And then after dinner we will take another walk through the neighborhood or to the park. Often we can relax together in the living room and watch a movie before bed. The dogs can sleep in my room or wherever they are comfortable.

Information Cody W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as much about your dog as possible. The more details the better. I have a medium-small, 4-year-old dog and she gets along with others well.

Pet care experience

I try to spend as much time as possible with my fur baby, and will with yours as well! As an empathetic person, I anticipate and respond to the needs of animals at the drop of a hat. Since I was 5-years-old I have always had a pet in my life, and loved every second of it. I have done dog walking, trained my current puppy and even performed tricks at events with my first dog. My schedule allows me to be home as much as I want so I can welcome a special-guest pet here as well. I am a very active person, so it is common for me to play with pets that want to get some energy out. I also am down to chill with them on the sofa and watch a movie or read. So come on over, I live in a single family home with my sweet dog chili, we have lots of space inside and outside in the yard to hang out and play.

Cody grew up around dogs and is genuinely attentive to their care, especially when it comes to routines and details - consistent and punctual, takes feeding schedules and dietary instructions seriously, and makes sure dogs get enough activity and stimulation rather than treating care as a checklist. Cody asks questions, follows instructions closely, and prioritizes each dog’s specific needs, which makes them someone I would trust without hesitation to provide reliable, thoughtful care.

Cody is incredibly trustworthy, responsible, and excellent with animals. Whether it’s their own dog or someone else’s, they are knowledgeable, loving, and kind and have a knack for befriending animals quickly. Cody is also a great communicator and someone I would trust to always be on time and provide the best care for my pets, no matter what!

Over the decade I’ve know Cody, they’ve always been a friend to all pets. They’re a caring and responsible pet owner themselves, and have a loving and friendly demeanor. They’re accountable and courteous, making them an excellent pet sitter. I highly recommended Cody.

Cody watched my chihuahua Gia multiple times. Gia loves it there so much it’s hard to get her to leave with me when I pick her up. Their communication style is fast, and always keeps me up to date. Would highly recommend!
