Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your home with respect, making sure to keep your pet’s regular routines for consistency. I will make sure your pet is safe: following your safety instructions and securing doors, gates, and windows. I will make sure to provided lots of updates in photos and messages. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities!

Information Grace M. would like to know about your pet

Health and Medical Needs: Any medications they need, allergies, or health conditions I should be aware of. Behavior: Their typical behavior, likes, dislikes, and any quirks or habits. Routines: Their usual feeding times, walk schedule, and any specific routines they follow. Favorite Activities: The games and activities they enjoy the most. Social Preferences: How they interact with other pets and people, and if they have any specific socialization needs. Emergency Contacts: Your preferred vet’s contact information and any emergency contacts. Having this information helps me achieve my goal of providing personalized and attentive care and ensuring your pets feel comfortable and happy while you're away!

A typical day

I would like to begin with a "meet and greet" to determine if we are a good fit! During that, I want to learn about your pet and tailor the activities to match their preferences and energy levels to ensure they can continue their normal routines. Long Walks Outside: Exploring the neighborhood or local parks for exercise and fresh air. Playtime at Home: Engaging in their favorite games, whether it's fetch, tug-of-war, or chasing laser pointers. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and having a great time while you're away.

Pet care experience

I know the feeling of being away from your pet and I am happy to provide daily photos and updates so you know they are in good hands! I have volunteered at my local animal shelter throughout my youth so I have lots of experience with different types of animals. I am a big dog lover and I have been a dog owner all my life. I currently have a pup of my own!

Grace is seriously the best! She is very responsive, professional, and amazing with my two kitties. Could not ask for a better cat sitter!

Grace was a great help during our vacation! She made drop-in visits to feed our timid/shy kitty Lucy and provided timely and comforting updates each day including photos. We would recommend Grace as a sitter to anyone!
