Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alpena

About: I have a natural way with animals. They respond well to me. I understand the importance of building trust when dealing with animals. I have dealt with multiple animals while working at a shelter. I have experience with administering medication; eye, ear and pills. I have had pets my whole life. I'll treat your animal like my own. Along with taking care of my animals full time I am available to help with other dogs on a daily basis, including on the weekends. I have a decent back yard that is fenced in we have a 1,100 sq ft basement for fun and sleepy time. Home away from home.

“Brooke was fantastic with my cats, Coke and Pepsi! Reliable pet sitters are hard to come by in Alpena, but Brooke exceeded all my expectations. She stopped by every day, completed everything we discussed, and sent me daily photo updates. I could tell my cats were happy and well cared for while I was away for the week. I highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”

“Sam showed up every day. The kitties were fed, and the litter was changed. Anora even seemed a little plumper. Sam was a delight to have care for my pets.”

About: Since my dog Tito crossed over the rainbow last month, I am looking to help people with their precious babies. I have taken care of dogs and cats for 25 years. I have experience in caring for senior, deaf and blind dogs. As I work from home, I am able to offer a lot of attention to your darlings. I work from home so I can give a lot of attention and play with your pup. I like to walk dogs around 5 times a day. I live in the top unit of a house and have a backyard. Dogs are welcomed on the furniture and bed if dog owner allows. I do have two very dog- friendly cats.

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.

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.

About: I have been pet and house sitting for many years. I love long walks with your waggy friend or drop in visits during the day for potty breaks. I will love on any pet you have! I work a full time job 12 hour days 3 days a week. I am willing to drop in early and late on days that I am working. I have all day on days off to spend time with your pets. At a client's home I make sure the pets have food and water, take them out to use the bathroom and love going on walks! I like to make sure the client home remains clean and free of any pet messes.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and been responsible for feeding bathing and walking ect. I also worked as a dog groomer for around a year and a half. I am currently only going to school so I am free most weekends as well as every day after school at about 3:30 is when I arrive home and am available. I do whatever is asked by the pet owner rather it be walking for bathroom time or a yard of their own I will typically ask for a breakdown on what they do and follow that.

About: Animals have been a part of my life forever. Growing up on a farm to being a pet sitter/house sitter for years before having a family. I love spending time with animals and learning about each special personality that your pet may have! I am retired with lots of availability during daytime hours. Looking to add more to my daily routine and adding your pet to my schedule would be great! It is most important that the pet comes first and all their needs are met. Whether it is letting a dog out every 3 hours or cleaning the litter box daily. It is important to me that the clients pet and home are taken care of.

About: Since childhood I have had a special place in my heart for dogs, birds, rabbits, freshwater and tropical fish, snakes, hamsters and geckos, all of which I have loved over the years as pets. I have also cared for friends and clients horses, lambs, pigs, chickens, parrots, boas, cats, dogs and bearded dragons. I enjoyed my favorite childhood moments at peace in the forests, farmland and equestrian schools and ranches. I helped to train a friend’s large breed rescue dog to stay back and sit so that one could more easily enter or leave the home. I like to have good boundaries with animals and allow or facilitate what the owner and pet needs. I also consider plants to be just as important to care for as animals. I have a somewhat flexible weekly routine offering: + Drop-Ins (Mon-Sun) + House Sitting 1-7days or longer; may be arranged to provide full time in home care if/when I have no other daily bookings. + Walks 30 min (longer = adjusted rate) daily. + Please chat with me for detailed scheduling as my routines are subject to change. I provide care for pets in the safety of the familiar surroundings of their owners home and neighborhood, with respect for their home spaces, routines, schedules, and needs: offering overnight sitting, walks and daily care drop ins.
