Personalized care for your dog or cat - Johnstown

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I’m calm, reliable, and pretty tuned in to how animals communicate what they need, especially when they’re in a new space or off their usual routine. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, I’m comfortable working with senior pets, administering medications (including injections when prescribed), and supporting animals who need a little extra patience. I focus on keeping things steady and low stress so pets can relax, settle in, and feel comfortable while their people are away. Pet care is built into my daily routine rather than squeezed in around other commitments. Because I work from home, I’m able to structure my day around visits, walks, and check-ins, and adjust as needed for each pet’s schedule. I’m home throughout the day and keep a steady, flexible rhythm that allows me to be present and attentive rather than rushed. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I’m thoughtful about supervision, separation when needed, and making sure each pet has appropriate space to rest, eat, and decompress. I follow each pet’s usual routines as closely as possible and keep environments calm and predictable. I’m careful about doors, gates, leashes, and transitions, and I check in frequently to make sure pets are comfortable and settling in well. My approach is low stress, attentive, and focused on helping pets feel secure in whatever space they’re in.

“Heidi was fantastic! I was so apprehensive to have my baby stay at a sitter’s house but she sent pictures and kept me up-to-date to ease my concerns. You can just feel how much she loves animals. 💕”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was young. Growing up on a farm taught me how to look after all kinds of animals, and over the years family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to care for theirs whenever they’re away. My dogs are like kids to me, so I understand how important it is to treat someone else’s animals with the same love and attention they get at home. I’m available full‑time to care for your animals and would love to welcome them into my home! I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and well‑loved while you’re away. I have a fully fenced backyard and two small dogs who would love the company. If you prefer, I can keep them completely separated, and I’m also happy to use a crate if that’s what your dog is most comfortable with.

“Jennifer has been absolutely great to work with. Has kept me updated with activity and a combination of photos/videos. Very communicative and easy going. Her level of attention to the my dog is what makes her my preferred sitter.”

“Tim is the best with both our dogs. We can go away on vacation or a day trip, and not worry a bit about their comfort, safety, care and the love they get with Tim. Thank you tons, and our pups will be back!!”

“Ashley was a great choice for watching our beloved 140lb Malamute! I was very pleased with how she cared for him....She was very loving and attentive to his needs and even went the extra mile by brushing him during her drop in visit. Definitely would book again!”

“My dog is a ball of stress in new situations but she seemed to be comfortable with Jenny and her Velma after a short time. If I'm in town with my dog and need a place for her to stay awhile again, I'll definitely look Jenny up.”

“Tim was outstanding with my anxious dog! Tim has a kind, calm demeanor and is a natural with dogs. Tim kept me updated and sent pics. He was so great to work with. I highly recommend Tim if you are looking for a great dog sitter and I will use him again when I am in Salina!”

About: Hi, I’m Michaela, a devoted dog mom to my 5-year-old Cavapoo, Pico, and an experienced pet care professional with 4+ years of dog grooming expertise. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities, whether it’s dog walking, boarding, or in-home care. I treat every furry friend as if they’re my own, ensuring personalized attention and love. Pico and I enjoy outdoor adventures, and I’d love to include your pup for a tail-wagging good time! Trust me to provide care that feels like home. Let’s make your pet’s day extra special! 🐾❤️ During the school year, I work full-time and have limited time at home during the day. Dogs must be able to go 8 hours without potty breaks. However, they do receive ample time in the evenings to play and exercise. Weekends are spent adventuring with pups! During the summer (May-August), I am home most days and have lots of time to care for all pets! Frequent potty breaks or walks are doable. I have a 5 year old Cavapoo named Pico who will keep all dogs company. He enjoys taking friends along with him on walks, runs, and trail adventures. He is treated as a child in our home, and your pet(s) will be as well! Dogs are allowed on all furniture and beds. Crating is available if necessary.
