Safety, trust & environment
I'm available for drop-in visits - for cats and cat boarding. I limit boarding to one client at a time. In other words, I do NOT board multiple clients at the same time. This is too stressful for the animals including my own, but if cats are from the same family, I can gladly board all your cats. For drop-in visits I clean litter boxes, vacuum, mop /clean any mess, refresh water, feed your pets and give them lots of love. For boarding, I have a two bedroom apartment. Your cat(s) will have their own bedroom with a window, a cat tree looking out a window, cool scratching boards and a closet to hide in. The bedroom will be gated off with two child gates stacked on top of each other so guest pets will not be closed off, and will have interaction with my host cats and be safe behind a gate. At night when I’m home, if all the fur babies are playing nice together, I will take down the gates. If there’s too much hissing, the gates stay up for safety. If cat(s) allow me, I will sleep with them overnight as I will NOT leave guest pets loose overnight and unsupervised while I sleep. All pets are welcome on my furniture (It is all leather including my bed comforters that I wipe clean with lemon Pledge spray every morning... (Pledge is very good for leather)! So, there are no stinky fabrics collecting hair and dander from other pet clients. It is all sleek leather that is wiped clean everyday -- especially between clients. My apartment is super clean and does not smell like a pet shelter (I'm a bit of a clean freak).
Home
Information Grace A. would like to know about your pet
All guest pets boarding in my home MUST be up to date with shots WITH vet paperwork to prove it -- and free of contagious diseases (no ringworm, upper respiratory infections and parasites like fleas, ticks, etc.). Absolutely NO exceptions! Let me repeat that... NO exceptions. If you can't produce vet paperwork to prove your pets are healthy then I cannot board you pets. I will be happy to drop-in on them at your home while you are away and give them the best care in your home.
A typical day
Pets I watch in my home will get lots of play with me (AND my cats-- if they all get along). Since I'm a cat owner, have tons of cat toys, cat nip and a tall cat tree with lots of scratching posts throughout my home. Scratching posts are regularly replaced once they get too destroyed to keep things clean and fresh. If guest pets are playing nice with my cats through the gates, the gates will come down and they will have full run of my apartment when I'm home. I have a nice set-up in the kitchen where kitties can jump from the counter, to the top of the fridge, to on top of the kitchen cabinets and hang-out up there with comfy cushions. My cat is a perfect hosts to guest pets. My chubby beautiful girl, Angie, is very engaging, sweet and will play with guests and share her toys.

Cats Only - Sitting & Boarding
Pet care experience
I graduated from Animal Behavior College (ABC) for pet grooming. I was considering a side business for grooming, but have since gone in a new direction. School studies included medical emergency management and animal behavior. I also volunteered at my local Animal Shelter on weekends before moving to PA. I have owned special needs cats for the past 16 years. Care included managing seizures, injections and many daily medications. Additionally, I have a full time career in communications. I have Bachelor of Science degree in business communications and an Associate degree in communications.
Reviews
Grace is amazing. She is a very conscientious care provider. She goes the extra mile. Grace is flexible and easy to work with. Thank you, Grace.
Thanks for taking care of Blue again! I always appreciate the feedback and pictures that Grace shares. My cat is very fond of her and seems to sit at the door waiting for Grace to arrive 😊
Grace is always very thorough. She advocates for my cats by giving me healthy and helpful suggestions.
Grace, as always is super communicative and my cat loves her. I feel very secure leaving my cat with her!
