Griffin
Taking care of your cute pets!
VictoriaAbout Griffin
Hi! My name is Griffin (They/He). I am an avid animal lover (and owner) who is ready to come take care of your pets while you're away! I have been working alongside my partner Caitlin who is also a sitter here on pawshake, but I decided to make my own profile so I could meet EVEN MORE cute pets and because I now have more time for petsitting. In my spare time, I make lots of art while finishing my undergrad in Gender studies. I also love the beach!
šāāļøMy services
[[NOTE all services except Dog walking include: Cleaning litterbox, replenishing food and water, giving your pet their medications, spending time bonding with your pet,Ā washing and/or drying pet diapers or other pet clothes]]
- šāš¦ŗDog walking: 30 mins unless requested for a longer or shorter walk. I am very willing to take your dog in my car and driving them to their favourite beaches or trail walks! I don't mind if your pet gets dirty during the walks and I will make sure they come back with clean paws š.
- šāā¬Pet drop ins: At a base time of 30 mins, but can be increased to more time by request. This also includes basic house chores (vacuuming and cleaning pet litter and fur, etc.). I am willing to water plants and gardens as well by request. After each visit, I will send a report card which will include a photo of your pet and how they're feeling that day!Ā
- š”šHousesitting/petsitting: With this service I would stay in your home as much as possible with my schedule. I am currently finishing my undergrad at UVIC, so I might have to leave the home to go to class. Usually when I housesit, Caitlin also helps me out as much as she is able, so between the two of us we can try to make things work out smoothly and make sure that your pet is cared for! Please let me know your pets routine and I will try my best to stick to it while you're away. Additionally, this service includes daily report cards like the pet drop ins.
šSome key skills I have are:
- Administering medications (needle, pill, ointment, anything!).
- Caring for pets of all ages, abilities, size and temperament. I have taken care of pets in wheelchairs, older pets, and even pets during their recovery of surgical procedures. I am very adaptable and willing to cater to your pets needs!
- Valid class 5 BC drivers License AND willing to drive your pets to fun places for walks. Additionally, I can drive your pet if any unexpected emergencies arise and they need medical care
- A will to learn, bond, and play with your pet to make sure that they are happy and comfortable while you are away :)
- I'm triple vaccinated and willing to wear a mask in your home by request :)Ā
- I enter all interactions with pets with patience. It's understandable if your pet isn't thrilled with a stranger coming into their home! So I will make sure your pet gets the care they need while still feeling asĀ comfortable as possible while you are away. I have worked in a home with semi-feral kitties, so I have experience in cats who arent a huge fan of strangers.
- I grew up with dogs my entire life. Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Pitt Bulls mutts, you name it! I have a soft spot for pitties too š„°. I have experience in basic training with my own pets and I am willing to help train yours too by request!Ā
- I have loads of experience with cats as well. Although I never grew up with them, I have experience in caring for cats through pawshake and through my personal life. I have experience in administering insulin to some kitties, so don't be afraid to reach out if you have a cat with extra needs!Ā
- Unfortunately,Ā I am unable to house your pets in my home. I am in a small studio with my cat, Pippa, and she is not a fan of other animals :( I've tried to ask her many times, but unfortunately she won't budge š.

Reviews
Griffin was amazing!! We would absolutely have them come take care of our kitties and fish again š. They took so much care and were so mindful of kitties needs and so observant about what kinds of attention each preferred. Would absolutely recommend Griffin to anyone who need their pets taken care of in an incredibly loving way.
Griffin was great!
Freyr loved him, on Griffin's second visit our dog was really happy to see him. That helped a lot!
Also Griffin sent us updates throughout the night with attached pictures which helped with the anxiety of leaving him.
Coming back to Victoria, we would book Griffin again. Thank you for the impeccable service!
