Pet care experience
Puppy lover- Returned Peace Corps
Hello I’m Griffin, I moved to Eugene last September to accept a job with a local nonprofit. I absolutely love dogs, to the point where my entire social media algorithm just presents me with puppy videos (all dogs are puppies to me.) I grew up with dogs, specifically Labradors, Cairn terriers and a Yorkie. When I was in Peace Corps in Ukraine, I had adopted a street dog and named him Dantinos. Sadly due to pandemic I was unable to bring my buddy back. There’s a big dog shaped hole in my heart. So, I decided to give this a try. My nonprofit job, while rewarding and interesting, isn’t cutting it for the cost of living today. I work full time but have remote work flexibility and live within a few minutes walking distance from my place of work- so whether it’s boarding or drop-ins, or walks, there’s a great opportunity to make it work. I would love to meet and pet and give your puppy some scratches if you’ll have me. I’ve got 35 years experience because I’ve grown with dogs all my life; and while I am not able to care for my own right now, taking a stroll with your puppy might be a win win win situation.

Ratings and reviews
It went great. He sent plenty of pictures and my dog diddnt seem to stressed when we picked him up! I would book again.
Available at the last minute and able to accommodate our changing schedule with little notice. Will definitely look to use Griffin in the future.
To whom it may concern, I have known Griffin for several years now and he has proven to be a reliable and passionate individual. Griffin is both - an excellent professional and an animal lover. He is pedantic, honest, and dependable. He also has a big heart for dogs (especially labradors). He is caring, attentive and respectful to pets. He treats them as friends and family members, not as a commodity. I believe that he will be perfect fit for a position requiring care for animals and I would wholeheartedly recommend Griffin to any employer.
If you love your dog, you want Griffin. He has been an incredible caregiver for our dogs — and we don't say that lightly. Griffin walks, brushes, plays, and snuggles with our pups like they're his own. He believes love comes through touch, and our dogs feel every bit of it. You can always tell when they've been with Griffin — they come home happy, calm, and content. Their tails say it all! We've had dogs of all shapes and sizes over the years, and Griffin connects with every single one of them. He's reliable, genuinely passionate, and the kind of person you feel good leaving your pet with. Do yourself a favor — book him before someone else does!
I’ve known Griffin for 20 years! As long as I’ve known him his family has had one or two dogs. Even when he was in the Peace Corps he had a dog with him while overseas. He’s great with animals and will be very patient and loving! His good friend, Tom

Schedule
I work full time, but have remote work flexibility and given a day or two in advance could likely block off some time to visit or walk a pet. Especially after lunch, when scheduled meetings are less frequent. When it comes to boarding- my work is literally a 5-8 min walk from my apartment- so even if I need to be in the office, coming back for potty breaks are not a problem. Fridays are generally half days, giving a little more flexibility

Safety, trust & environment
I care for dogs by giving them love and affection when they want it. I’ve got a weakness for giving a dog treats with those pleading eyes, but I promise that I would never feed another persons dog anything not allowed, and certainly know to avoid over feeding. Eugene is a beautiful place and I think it would be a pleasure to take a stroll with your dog.
A typical day
Well day is going to start with potty time and a little stroll, and then surely it's breakfast. Hanging out with pets, scratches and belly rubs goes without saying. If puppy likes fetch, then it's to the park to throw the ball. After some more quality time together... surely it's dinner time. And a little evening stroll never hurt anybody.
