Jessica Sims-Fink

FOUNDER

Growing up with three dogs, and a semi-feral cat, Jess developed a deep love and passion for animals and their welfare at a young age. After spending six years in Calgary’s corporate world of marketing & admin, she took a leap of faith to follow her dreams and started Alvin n' Pals.

After a very successful year of running Alvin n’ Pals in Calgary, Jess & Alvin made the move to Invermere, BC to start their next adventure. Jess is hoping to re-create the success of Alvin n’ Pals in the beautiful Valley. Alongside getting Alvin n’ Pals up and running, you can catch Jess and Alvin at Summit Footwear. We’d love for you to drop by and meet us!

Jess is currently a pet "mom" to Alvin and a grey tabby cat, Jax. Jess likes hiking, biking, knitting and baking in her spare time.

Alvin

Co-FOUNDER

The whole reason this adventure started...spending evenings and weekends with his human, Jess, wasn't enough for Alvin. He slowly but surely convinced her to leave her office job and enjoy her days with him n' his pals! Alvin is a German Shepard / Collie rescue from AARCS who loves dogs, cats, and all humans. Alvin is loving his new life in Invermere, BC and is killing it as the new mascot of Summit Footwear. He’d love for you to stop by and give him a pet!

JUDY SIMS

Calgary services

Sharing the love that Jess has with animals, Judy has been involved with the clients of Jess’s since the beginning of Alvin n’ Pals. From having pups join us at Christmas, to going for walks with them while they were boarding with Jess, Judy grew to love many of the pups. With the recent lost of the last of the three dogs, Judy decided to open her home and heart to existing and new clients under Alvin n’ Pals name.

Jess contributes many of her successes as a business owner to watching, admiring and receiving advice from Judy as a business owner herself of CallBack Corporate Entertainment.
