Dog Walking Pinckard

“Madyson was fantastic given short notice to watch my chocolate lab. My original sitter had to cancel last minute which put me and my dog (Finnie) in a stressful situation. I was able to find Madyson and with a short notice request she was available. Madyson sent me frequent updates, pictures and provided Finnie with long walks, ball throwing and loving affection. Thank you so much Madyson. I will always keep you in mind if I ever have to leave town. Best, Nick and Finnie”

“My senior dog was very well taken care of during our absence. I loved receiving daily updates and pictures so I wouldn’t miss him so much! Thank you for taking care of him while we were gone.”

About: I’ve been around and cared for all different sorts of dogs since I can remember. I’ve owned a pit bull, Dalmatians, boxers, labs etc! I’m great at keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and sticking to each pet’s routine. I’m responsible and attentive to every animal I care for to make sure there as comfortable as can be while being away from their owners. I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and love I’d want for my own. Im currently only working part time hours so i have plenty of availability to spend quality time with any pet I will be boarding, sitting or walking! I live in an apartment with my fiance not too far from shillito park so while I don’t have a backyard shillito park is a short walk away and one of my favorite places to go for walks.

About: I have been around pets my whole life, but dogs are my favorite! I love them all, from puppies to the senior friends. I regularly care for my family dogs and I have experience caring for friends dogs and I have several regular clients. I have experience with puppy care and training, bathing, feeding, and administering medication. I also have experience with senior dog care nearing the end of life and all others in between. I have no trouble creating the special bond needed with most dog personalities. Dogs are truly our best friends! I play and exercise my own dogs daily. I understand the importance of keeping dogs engaged, healthy, and active. I do have a part-time job, but schedules are flexible given enough notice. I am so excited to care for your pup! I like to make sure the doggie is a happy, tired doggie when I do have to leave them. They love me and know fun is in store when I’m around. I play fetch and frisbee in the backyard and go on long walks around the neighborhood. If we can’t be outside I’ll play games with them indoors to challenge their minds and keep them occupied. Then of course there’s snuggle time together until they’re ready to nap or go to sleep in their crates or bed.

“Rachel has walked my dog, Roxy, maybe a dozen or so times now, and I could not be more thankful for her. She is kind, and gives my dog great experiences. I am so thankful to know someone that I trust completely with my pup, who has her best interest at heart. Thank you Miss Rachel!! Roxy loves you!!”

About: Hi! I’m Anne, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I grew up on a farm in Brazil surrounded by animals, so caring for them has always been a natural and important part of my life. I currently have a five-year-old Miniature Schnauzer named Pimpo, who is truly part of my family. Because I work from home, I am able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I normally take my dog outside for three to four walks each day, and I would be happy to follow your pet’s regular routine as closely as possible. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, patient, and loving. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I can also provide regular photos and updates for your peace of mind. I work from home, so I am available throughout the day to give the dogs plenty of attention and care. I walk my own dog three to four times a day, and your dog will be included in our daily walks and routine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for every pet. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, supervise the dogs, keep fresh water available, and make sure they feel comfortable and secure.

About: I've helped take care of dogs for friends and family since I graduated from college in 2016. I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury, and apprenticing to become a dog trainer. I have multiple friends that train dogs professionally, my personal dog sees multiple trainers regularly, and I learn new things every day. From obedience to behavior to nutrition, I value all of the practical use, knowledge, and love I can apply to any dog I get the opportunity to work with! I'm a thoroughbred jockey currently off riding due to injury. I have a lot of free time now, and I've started to fill it by gaining as much knowledge and practice in professional pet and sport training for dogs and cats. Rover is a way I may be able to help out my community by applying everything I'm learning for pets and people that need someone that cares about their animals the way I've cared about animals my whole life. At home, I have two lovely house cats and one rambunctious puppy. My cats like their space and will ask for love when they want it. My puppy needs structure in his day to balance activity, learning, enrichment, and rest. I am more than comfortable providing the kind of care any client wants for their furry family members. Whether that's daily enrichment, getting out in the world, or learning an off switch at home. I'm familiar with excited jumping on guests and earning trust from nervous or shy animals. I have Ruffland crash tested kennels in my car and can provide enrichment and new adventures if requested! If you don't have a fenced area around your home, and you are comfortable with it, I do have 20ft long lines I can use so the dogs get a chance to be outside to play and do their business while also ensuring their safety. I've always been an animal lover, and now that I have free time in my life, I want to provide knowledge and time for other animals and their humans that need a helping hand.

I am open to most times during the day to help take care of people’s pets and look forward to caring and playing with their dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in high school and I’ve had my own baby for about 4 years! I have lots of experience with senior dogs! My own dog, Zeus, struggles with anxiety which can make him reactive at times. After lots of training, I’m confident navigating reactivity and anxiety! Whether it’s feeding seniors from my hands, shielding them from the rain, or distracting them from triggers- I’m ready to handle all of your pets’ special quirks! I’m currently between jobs so I have all the time in the world to care for your pup! I prefer to have Monday and Tuesday off but I’m very flexible. I prefer to care for your pets in your home. My dog, Zeus, is a 70 pound ball of energy which can be overwhelming for a lot of pets! Learning from my experience with him, he does better keeping his own routines in his own home so I have no problems coming to you!

About: I’m a certified volunteer handler for service dogs in training at 4 Paws for Ability. Sitters and handlers are trained to train, care for, and accumulate soon to be service dog puppies. I also have have experience as an overnight pet sitter for dogs of all sizes and backgrounds. I am comfortable with any breed and do well with pets suffering from anxiety. I just moved to Lexington to start my PhD program at UK and am excited to get to know the area. A lot of my work and research is done outside of class so little time will be spent away from your pups! It’s totally normal for your pet to get the puppy blues without you there. Some things I do that has often helped ease this anxiety is being available for around the clock care, doing some soothing activities like mat licking, and lots of belly scratches!

About: I am a prevet student and have been taking care of animals of all forms since I was roughly 9 years old. I have a dog of my own, her name is Ellie, and she is very playful and loving with other animals including cats and people. I trained her myself and am able to work with younger pups as well as elder. I currently do not have a job and am trying to find small ways to make myself some money that is a little bit easier on myself. So any time can work for me as of now. I am very big on safety when it comes to my animals and will be with yours too. All animals have a special place in my heart whether UT be mine or not.
