Availability

I work full-time 8:30am-5:00pm which means I will be available for evening drop-ins M-F but will have a more flexible schedule on Saturdays and Sundays. If you’re interested in boarding with me, you may be happy to hear that I work from home on Tuesdays and Fridays. I’m in the office Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday but I live less than 10 minutes away from my place of work which will allow me to drive home on my lunch hours those days and check in on your pet at that time.

Safety, trust & environment

If you’re looking to board with me, I encourage setting up a meet-and-greet in my home first to ensure you are comfortable with the space your pet will be residing in during their stay. During a drop-in, I would take care of your kitty’s immediate needs and then spend the rest of that time ensuring they are as happy and content as possible- whether that would mean cuddle time, play time, or just being a calm, loving presence in the home. If you are outside of my preferred service radius, I may still consider accepting your booking request. However, please note that I will charge a higher drop-in fee for the additional time and resources required to fulfill the booking.

Information Gracen K. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know ahead of time about any medical issues/requirements that are unique to your kitty. Please also let me know how often you would like updates on your pet(s) while they are in my care. Feel free to share any other information you feel is important for me to know!

A typical day

For boarders: The way that your cat and my cat interact during the meet-and-greet will help me gauge how much of my apartment your cat will have access to. If our cats are open to one another, your cat will have their run of the apartment alongside mine as long as I am there to supervise them both. When I am not there to supervise, your cat will reside comfortably in the bedroom with their own cat tower, food, water, and litter box. If our cats do not see eye to eye, your cat will reside in my bedroom for the duration of their stay. You will be free to inspect the apartment during the meet-and-greet and as long as you are satisfied with the space as well as the arrangements described above, then we can book! If you feel comfortable skipping the meet-and-greet stage, I am open to that as well. For drop-ins: I would take care of your kitty’s immediate needs (food, water, fresh litter) and then spend the rest of that time ensuring they are as happy and content as possible- whether that would mean cuddle time, play time, or just being a calm, loving presence in the home.

Gracen was AMAZING! This was the first time for us boarding our cat. Gracen invited us to her home to show us her set up before we confirmed the booking, which gave us a chance to talk about our cat and her routine. She sent us photos and videos throughout her stay. We even had an incident where our cat was showing some aggression. Gracen was up front and honest with us about the behavior and what the next steps would be if it didn't change. Gracen gave our cat another day to adapt to her surroundings and by the next day, all was well. The rest of the stay was all play time and cuddles. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND HER and will DEFINITELY USE HER AGIAN. :)

Gracen is the best! She’s checked in on my boy a few times and is very thorough with her check ins and updates. He is a little shy, but she does a great job and breaking him out of his shell!

Rufus and I are repeat clients of Gracen, and I can’t express how great and thoughtful she is. She takes fantastic care of my boy every time, sends amazing pictures, and very clearly takes a lot of joy and passion in what she does! I could not possibly recommend her enough!
