Dog Walking Pickard

“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: 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 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.

“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!”

About: Hii :) Our fur babies are like family 🫶❤️ I have always loved dogs and taken care of them my whole life, compassion & reliability is my specialty I’m currently taking time off before I start my next job so I am very open and flexible! I currently have no dogs living with me (my dog lives with my boyfriend) so happy to accommodate dogs that are more shy I live in an apartment, but right on a walking trail and tons of grass space so we take walks and outside adventures often. I am a paranoid soul & helicopter parent so no worries, I will follow your dog around with a pillow! haha

About: I have had cats and dogs since the day I was born and I have never had an empty house since. I currently own two cats and a dog myself and it gives me such joy being able to take care of others people's pets. I have watched over friends and families dogs and cats since I can remember and I have never had a bad experience! Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize creating a balance that allows me to provide attentive and loving care. My schedule is flexible, enabling me to accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special needs a pet may have. I take pride in being organized and ensuring that each pet gets the time and attention they deserve, whether it’s daily check-ins or extended stays. Caring for animals isn’t just a task—it’s a fulfilling part of my life that I genuinely enjoy. I will not be allowed to bring animals into my home sadly. I am more than able to come to you or pick up your dog and hang out with them for the day!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine passion for caring for animals and the hands on experience I’ve gained working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve volunteered at a local humane society and worked on a dog farm, where I learned how to safely handle dogs, recognize their individual needs, and help them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’m committed to providing care that’s tailored to them. As a high school student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. During the summer, I’m available throughout the day, and during the school year I’m available before and after school, on weekends, and during breaks. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel secure while you’re away. I’ll provide a calm, loving environment, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

“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!”

“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 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.

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.

“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.”

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!
