Gentle & Loving Cat Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am 26 years old. I am a cat lover who truly understands the special needs that kitties need, especially during stressful times like when their family is away. I understand how different cats are from dogs, and understand how hard it can be to find someone who truly understands that. I am calm, gentle, and great at reading cat behavior so I can tailor my visits entirely to you cat to make them as comfortable as possible. I have 10 years of experience working at a veterinary hospital in Wisconsin. I did everything from walking dogs, snuggling with boarding cats, jumping in to help techs and veterinarians, and of course lots of cleaning. Towards the end of my employment there I worked as an on-call emergency veterinary assistant, waking up in the middle of the night to help on-call veterinarians treat pets (and calm their parents) during an emergency. I have also worked at independent pet retailers since 2016. Right now I work at an independent pet store in Denver. I am an assistant manager over there, as well as the resident photographer, social media manager, dog & cat nail technician, and the go-to cat expert. I have lots of experience pet sitting. While working at the vet clinic in Wisconsin I was house sitting for clients 3 out of 4 weeks of the month. Over the years I have done lots of drop in visits as well for both dogs and cats. I recently lost my sweet senior boy Tigger in early October of 2022. He took up lots of my time as he was chronically ill when I adopted him in 2017. He required daily pills, twice daily oral liquid meds, a tPEMF device 2x/day, as well as subcutaneous shots 3x/week. Because of this I am very comfortable with giving meds if your kitty needs it. I have one kitty left at home now, a sweet 6 year old gray tuxedo. Now that I am down to one low-maintenance cat, I have some time to pet sit again!

Grace did an AMAZING job taking care of our Shih Tzu!!! It was no easy task! Truly detail oriented and trustworthy! Grace’s father has been my vet for over 10 years and I didn’t even know that until after i had booked her! Exceptional young lady, I will definitely use Grace again and certainly recommend others to do the same!

As mentioned before I am happy to help out with medications. I have experience prepping all kinds of food, my own cats get both wet food as well as raw. I am happy to do any sort of meal prep for your kitty, including any supplements that need to be included. I also am available for cat nail trims during your stay, if your cat will tolerate it. I am a photographer on the side, so if your kitty is okay being around a camera I will send high-quality photos of your cat during my time with them! I understand all cats have different play styles, and would love to hear all about their favorite toys/activities so they can get some mental and physical energy out while you are away. Overall I am happy to tailor your kitties experience to their unique personality!

Information Grace S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as much as possible! The more info that I have about your cat, the more tailored their experience will be. It helps me prep ahead of time so they can have the most normal schedule as possible while you are away. No detail is unimportant, I’m happy to read through all of their little quirks that make you love them so much.

A typical day

What a typical day for your cat looks like completely depends on what their usual schedule is! Cats can get very stressed when their schedule is disrupted, so I will do my best to make them as comfortable and happy as possible. Do they like sitting in someone’s lap? I’d be happy to sit in a chair and just snuggle with them. Do they love playing with their favorite toys? I’ll be hanging out on the floor with them making sure they have as much fun as possible. Are they shy and just want to know they haven’t been forgotten? I’ll be happy to be extra gentle, just feeding them, cleaning up, making sure they are healthy, and just sitting near them for the remainder of my visit so they know they aren’t all alone.
