Dog Walking Pickard

About: I am a former veterinary technician that has years of experience with animals. I have experience with special needs, medication, geriatric, special diet, restraint, IV fluids, and much more. I have worked with dogs in the veterinary field, training, and doing therapy work. I can also care for cats, reptiles, birds and your other pets. I have worked for an animal sanctuary where we had many different animals. I was in charge of the infirmary there and medicating all the animals as far as any sick or injured animals and monthly flea and tick treatments. I cared for animals there from the very small, winged, scaly to the large cows and horses. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and I can’t wait to meet your furry babies to love and care for like they were my own. I am willing to work with just about anyone's schedule. If you can be flexible, we can always work something out. Available for your pets any day of the week and during most hours. Your pet's care is my priority. I come to your home for care which makes your pet(s) feel much more at ease. When your pet is in their own environment, they are less stressed while you are gone.

“River quickly warmed up to Joseph and was able to cover short notice walks for her this week. Highly recommend him to take care of your pet when life keeps you busy. Will use his services again.”

About: Hello everyone! My name is Laina and I’m an animal behavior student at Indiana University open for work! I have extensive experience in animal care with my education experience, volunteer training, and personal pets as well! In my past I have trained service dogs through ICAN and volunteer at The Love Pet Project. Currently I have six dogs at home that I care for as well as two cats! I’m highly experienced with various animal care and aspire to make a career out of my passion! I am available for full time care through the week and weekends or part time if needed as well. I provide daily care, hourly check ins, long walks, bathing/grooming services, or I’m potentially open to overnight stays depending on the client. I provide excellent and safe care for all animals. Depending on the animals needs and behavior I am able to bring them to parks, trails, back yards, or pet stores for play and enrichment! Animals will be kept on their leashes when in public at all times and kept from a safe distance from other animals that may be around! All fences will be checked for damage before animals are let loose to play! In the home all food will be placed in high areas that are up and away from the animals reach. Sharp objects that could causes harm are also placed away!

About: I am very skilled with animals ! I’ve grown up with showing and raising different kinds of animals my whole life ! It would be a pleasure to help care for yours ! I’m currently a server at a restaurant , I work a couple night shifts weekly ! During the day I am open and free ! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with our own fenced in yard ! I also have a dog which is a golden retriever and she loves other dogs !

About: Since I was 14, I’ve been responsible for taking care of my own dogs and those of my neighbors, family, and friends. I come from a large dog family, from a Great Pyrenees to Labs and German Shepherds, but I’ve also been able to care for smaller dogs in my neighborhood. I’ve also cared for sensitive and reactive dogs who came from hard backgrounds, so I have experience taking it slow to build trust. I also care for cats as well, with experience from my own 13 year old orange cat and my mom’s two crazy kittens. Whether it’s taking them on walks, playing tug of war, giving them meds, or just keeping them company, I love any time I get to spend with fur babies. I’m preparing to leave for a scholarship in Poland at the end of September after graduating with my Master’s degree in May, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am free most days and times with the exception of a few days with prior commitments throughout the summer. I strive to provide the best care with the utmost respect for you and your fur baby’s home. If there’s anything I should know about your pet’s care preferences or any neighborhood/environmental concerns, please let me know so that I may keep your pet safe at all times. I have experience with fenced in yards and open areas, as well as plenty of experience with flight risk dogs (those German Shepherds love to run!) and returning them safely home. My goal is to keep your pet and place safe and clean until you return home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 5 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I also worked for a woman who owned her own Yorkie breeding business for a year, where I helped care for puppies and adult dogs daily. Along with that experience, I’ve helped neighbors, friends, and family with feeding, walking, playtime, overnight care, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also worked with cats for 2 years, and they’re one of my favorite animals to care for. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to accommodate each pet parent’s needs. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, overnight care, and extended stays depending on availability. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any special instructions to make sure every pet feels secure and cared for. I create a calm, positive environment and make sure pets get plenty of supervision, affection, exercise, and attention while in my care. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and worry-free.

About: Hi there! I am an experienced pet owner who knows when to be strict and when to have some fun. I just lost my Australian Shepherd and to fill that void, I would love to host your furry friend. I have a flexible work schedule which makes it easy for me to help you let your pup out and take him/her for a walk. I grew up on a farm and around all sorts of dogs, cats and large animals that all hold a special place in my heart. In my opinion, animals and their companionship are a key part of making our lives more enjoyable. My job is very flexible so I will have plenty of time to care for and love on your pet. I do not have any other pets living with me currently. I am a fun loving pet owner who also knows when and where to draw the line. I have raised and trained working cattle dogs and know the basics of pet care.

About: I have been house/pet-sitting full time for two years now, with over 10 years of professional sitting experience, and a lifetime of living and playing around animals of all kinds. My senior dog companion, Mowgli, travels with me which brings a unique dynamic and ensures your pets have a friendly distraction from your absence. Since this is my full-time gig, you can rest assured that your animal’s and house’s wellbeing are my top priority while you are away. Working remotely gives me the freedom and flexibility to travel and spend extra time with your pets while you are away. I treat your animals and home as if they were my own. Since I will be living there, taking extra care to keep things tidy and organized is not only my way of providing excellent service, it’s a way for me to ensure Mowgli and I feel as at home as possible too. I know how I would want someone to treat Mowgli and my home if I were away, and that carries over into my own professional approach.

“My doggo & I thank you, Kelsey! Our dogwalk request was super short-notice, but you were prompt with communication and arrived early to take Elle to Deming Park. I can't say enough good things about your service. You're generous in this cold weather, as well as honest re: start and end times of the walk. I super appreciated the Rover Cards, and beautiful photos! Please stay warm and take care!”

“Grace did a great job with our high energy Aussie puppy! She was very kind, competent, and caring. Responded quickly and was very flexible when our schedule changed. We felt very comfortable letting Grace into our home and taking care of our pup!”

About: I am a huge dog lover! My 7 year old lab/pit mix Conway is my rock and best friend. I care for all dogs like I care for Conway. I have had a dog all of my life, so I am very comfortable with pet care of all types. I am an experienced dog-walker as well and have cared for friends' and neighbors' pets for many years. Also, I am working on Conway's summer body and we are up to 3 mile walks a day. I am not saying that your dog needs all three miles but I am up for doing the long walks, if needed. I work from home every day. I have essentially wide open availability (minus some scattered meetings that will be scheduled ahead). I can care for your pet on any week day or weekend. Day or night. *Unfortunately, I do not have any pet care for my own dog. At this time, I will have to bring him with me for any house sitting opportunity. I am happy to set up any meet and greet.* I am caring and respectful of the owner's wishes. Having a dog of my own, I know how important it is for owners to ensure that they are leaving their fur babies home with somebody that cares and they trust. If an owner has specific directions of care, I will follow those to the T.

About: I have such a love for all animals and giving them love/attention. I have a 2 year old golden doodle named Ollie who has my heart. I also have 3 more golden doodles in my family, Shadow, Bella and Maggie. They are so loved. I have a passion for taking care of animals. I’m 28 years old and am looking to help anyone in need of services for their animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks. I love to play with dogs and making sure they get enough exercise. I can feed them, spoil them with treats, and groom them. Anything dog related, I’m your girl! I’ve trained my dog to do tricks and “give me hugs” and I hope you choose me for your animals needs! I am currently working part time and I am very flexible! I also create my own schedule and can always move things around if needed. For the previous pets I have cared for, their owners will leave me a detailed list of what is needed to care for their pet. Every pet is different and requires different needs. I’m great at attending to animals needs no matter what they are and I enjoy giving them attention/playing with them and going on walks.

About: I have taken care of animals for many years. Farm animals to reptiles have been in my scope of care. Pet First Aid Certified too. I am a school bus driver, so I'm out the door early, available 8:30-1:30 and then after 5:00. Evenings are fairly open as well. Thanks! I would like to have a consistent relationship with a pet that I would bring to my home. The pet would be on a leash ,until I was POSITIVE that the pet would stay with me.

“Beth was so sweet especially because I asked for her last minute! She took our lab pup out for a run and played with her in our dog park and Skylar was tired and happy afterwards, would highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been dog and cat sitting since I was about 8 and I have always helped my parents take care of my dogs at home. I recently graduated from the University of Tennessee as an animal science major on the pre-veterinary track, so I have a love and passion for taking care of animals. I have been accepted into veterinary school and plan to go next year. For the past two summers, I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant and and I have worked as a Kennel Assistant for 2 years during the school year. I have learned even more about caring for pets during that time; including dealing with puppies, administering medication, and working with anxious or unpredictable pets. As a recent graduate, I have a lot of time on my hands as a figure out my next step before veterinary school. I’m so excited to continue working with animals! I love going to the local parks nearby and walking dogs, as well as spending time with them inside, giving them belly rubs, love, and attention!

About: I have had pets all my life and dealt with all sorts of animals growing up in nature. I currently have three dogs that are older. I trained them as puppies and now work to care for them as seniors. I have 6+ years in the food service industry so I am not afraid of a mess and will do the best I can to care and love your pet while you’re away. I am currently working remotely as a research assistant this summer and part time in food service industry. I can spend nights with your pets to comfort them and stop by to let them out and play multiple times a day. I can do early morning and late night stopbys as well. I have a large yard where my three dogs love to run around and play. As puppies, I crated them so I am perfectly comfortable with which ever method you prefer. I’ve also taken my dogs to dog parks and on long walks/hikes before, on and off leash.

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I grew up with dogs and currently have three of my own, all different ages and breeds, so I’m very familiar with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. One of my dogs is a senior (almost 12!) who requires daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and providing extra care and attention for older dogs. I also have experience with younger, high-energy pups, so whether your dog needs lots of playtime or a slower, more gentle routine, I can adjust to what they need. I work for Arbor Homes, and my days off are Tuesday and Wednesday, so I’m home all day those days to give your pet lots of attention. The rest of the week, I work from 11 AM–6 PM, which still allows for plenty of time in the mornings and evenings for walks, playtime, and care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. You can trust that your pet will be in great hands with me! 🐾 I am in school so my schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Friday I’m done by 11:30 and then Tuesday and Thursday I’m done by 4 o’clock I live in a apartment so I have a lot of open grass areas for your dogs to go out and go potty! I also have a fenced in area close by to me which I allow dogs to go in and go potty and run around.

“Cortney is great! So appreciative of how easy and quick it was to set up services for our dog, Griffin. Will for sure use Cortney again.”
