About: Hi, my name is Nate. I’ve had a dog next to me since I was a baby. I raised a wild German Shorthaired Pointer from 8 weeks to 16 years. I’m very good with animals and “speak their language.” I can handle them well and sympathetic to their needs. I am a professional pilot and I have 6 days off at a time, every other week, so just looking to fill that time with some cute doggos. Wednesday through Monday. To start I will not spend time at my home with them other than a short visit if necessary. However, I will respect anyone’s home as if it were my own. I am a highly responsible adult and trust can be assured.
About: I love animals and I have grown up with big dogs my whole life. I have been dog/cat sitting for 5 years now. We always had at least one or two and at one point I even had bunnies and chickens, and even a chipmunk! I am a part time college student and available Monday-Friday almost every week! I would love to check in on your furry friends or go on long walks! My fiancé and I just moved to Alpena a couple weeks ago for our second year of college! He is in lineman school and I am doing interior design and photography! I am a part time student and I am looking for something I can fill my days with as we are here Monday through Friday most weeks and we go back up home to where we are from (The U.P.) for the weekends. Although it’s the both of us, it would just be me who is caring for pets as he has is full time. I won’t be able to bring any pets home with me as we are in an apartment right now, but I will definitely be able to walk them and take them to parks as needed and care for them in their own homes.

“Randy took really great care of my girl Cocoa. I received lots of updates and pics during the day to let me know that she was okay and having a good time with his pups. Definitely recommend Randy if you are looking for dog care in the area.”

About: I have managed a boarding facility for the last 8 years. I decided that our fur babies need a lot more attention. I have bathed pups, done nails, given meds including insulin, built bonds with fearful dogs with patience and time. I have always owned senior animals so I do well with our senior fur babies as well with gentle loving care. My life has evolved around pet care. I have worked 60+ hours a week at a boarding facility. So I can be available 24 hours a day to keep strictly to your pet care routine. Routines are important with our fur babies I will make sure your pups and cats are fed on time. Taken out regularly and clean up where ever they do potty. I will play with them outside or inside so they get both physical stimulation and love on them for the emotional and mental stimulation
