Safety, trust & environment
Based in Herne Bay, I’m lucky to have quiet neighbourhood routes and open green spaces close by — perfect for calm, relaxed walks tailored to your dog’s comfort. Feel free to share favourite routes or places your dog enjoys.
Information Richard M. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know your dog’s routines, any preferences for walk pace or locations, their favourite comfort items, and any reactions to other dogs or people. The more I understand about their habits and comfort zones, the better I can tailor the walk or care to meet their needs.
A typical day
A typical day with your dog starts with a calm, patient walk — whether that’s exploring nearby woods, a beach visit, or a quiet neighbourhood route, depending on your dog’s pace and preferences. I focus on guided, attentive walks that give dogs space to relax and enjoy their surroundings. After a walk, we’ll spend time in a comfortable area where your dog can rest, play gently or enjoy company at a calm pace. I tailor the day to each dog’s personality — quiet cuddles, gentle play, or peaceful strolling — whatever helps them feel safe and happy.

Calm One-to-One Dog Walks & Pet Care in Herne Bay
Pet care experience
I’m particularly suited to dogs who enjoy a slower pace, gentle walks, and individualised attention. Hi, I’m Rich — the person behind Pickle’s Pooch Care. I offer calm, one-to-one dog walks and pet sitting in Herne Bay, with a focus on gentle handling, trust, and companionship. I don’t offer group walks, as I believe many dogs benefit from a quieter, more individual approach. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs through regular dog walking and pet sitting, including ongoing work with repeat clients. I take time to understand each dog’s routines, comfort levels, and personality, and I’m particularly comfortable working with dogs who benefit from a calm, patient presence. I always aim to provide reliable, attentive care and to make sure each dog feels safe, settled, and well looked after while in my care. I’m happy to administer routine oral medication where dogs are comfortable and familiar with the process. I’m also available for private bookings outside Rover — please feel free to ask for details.
Reviews
Winston loves his walks with Richard. He’s an anxious young dog with a high prey drive but Richard is calm and patient, but firm, which helps Winston relax.
Richard is calm, reliable and friendly, and great with the dogs. My two rescues have been with me eight months and one is still a bit nervous/reactive, but Richard helps him to be relaxed and confident.
Richard is great with my two rescue dogs, Peggy and Winston. They’re still settling in and Winston can be nervous in new situations, but have very quickly settled with Richard. He’s friendly and reliable, and accommodating at short notice. Highly recommended.
Richard was amazing with my two hooligans! Put up with all my long-winded instructions and followed them to the letter. Highly recommended!
