Meet Chris & Jessie

Hickerson Hounds is proudly owned and operated by Chris and Jessie Hickerson, a husband-and-wife team with extensive backgrounds in animal care and facility management.

Chris brings over 20 years of professional experience working with pets in veterinary care, boarding, and daycare environments. His passion for animals has always extended beyond basic care - Chris has specialized knowledge in dog training and behavior, giving him the ability to read canine body language, recognize stress signals, and ensure pets feel safe during every interaction. Over the years, he has trained and mentored hundreds of employees on how to properly handle dogs and cats, emphasizing positive reinforcement, safe practices, and understanding each pet's unique temperament. This hands-on leadership not only built strong teams but also ensured pets received compassionate, knowledgeable care at every stage. His expertise forms the backbone of Hickerson Hounds' commitment to both safety and professionalism.

Jessie's experience compliments Chris's perfectly. With a strong management background in pet boarding and daycare, she developed and implemented cleaning and training protocols, ensured quality standards were met, and oversaw the care of both pets and staff. Her knowledge of over 16 years spans dog training, behavior management, emergency procedures, and business operations, making her an integral part of both the care and management sides of the company.

Together, Chris and Jessie founded Hickerson Hounds to bring professional, reliable pet waste removal services to their community. They understand that cleanliness plays a vital role in the health and happiness of pets and their families. Their mission is simple: provide safe, sanitary, and trustworthy service that keeps yards clean and pets healthy.
