“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.”

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.

“Elika was perfect for our Puma! She checked in with me every visit with details of Puma's feeding, water and pee and pooh activity. Elika was responsible, respectful and cautious in our home. We arrived home to our well cared for pet, that was happy to see us! When we need a sitter for Puma, Elika is the sitter for us!! Thanks again for your service, Jill”

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: 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.
