About: Hi, I’m Caelyn! I recently relocated to Northeast Michigan from the Traverse City and I am looking to meet new clients and supplement my income doing what I love: spending time with pets! I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for several years and look forward to meeting new pets and owners in the Alpena area. I live with 3 dogs, a cat, a toddler and a husband on Hubbard Lake. I am happy to travel around northeast Michigan. I am available for regular dog-walking, drop in visits, and overnight stays. I am pet First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross. Let’s connect! My “regular” job is largely seasonal, so I have pretty open availability from September-May! I am happy to adjust my schedule as needed to accommodate bookings. The safety and wellbeing of your pet and your home are my biggest priorities. I respect the rules my clients have for their pets and their home.
“I was very happy knowing Heather was looking after my animals. I appreciate that she kept me updated and made my time away completely worry-free. Thank you, Heather!”
About: Hi, Good day! This is Jingle and I live in Alpena. I am a full time housewife and furmom. So my schedule is very flexible. I have 2 dogs a choco lab retriever almost 2 yrs old and a Australian Shepherd mix 6 yrs old. Currently, I regularly dog walk/sit one other dog atleast 4 times a week in town for almost 2 yrs now and another dog (her best friend) in several times in the last few months. Things I do with furfriends: - Take to the dog park / trails to run and play. - Take to the beach to play and swim - Train basic obedience for free, if necessary. - Take pictures and videos and send to the pet owners every single time. - Take your dogs to vet appointment And I would like to extend my service to those pet parents who need a helping hand to look after and have their furbabies give the best time of their lives. P.S. I don’t bring with me my own dogs when I dog sit/walk other dogs to make sure they are given more attention. I have a very flexible schedule and able to accept same day short notice. Whatever works best for both of us and to your dog/s. I have a fenced yard and when taking care of your pets at your home I am have to make sure they have food and fresh water, potty breaks and given more attention like giving excercise and training, and to be in crates if needed.
