Griffin can care for
Availability
I already plan my week around a flexible schedule, which makes room for pet care instead of squeezing it in. Two days I work remote, so I can do a full visit, feeding, play, whatever your cat needs. On office days I use my lunch break for a drop-in or book early evening visits I know I can actually make, so I'm never rushing through it. I'm a homebody by nature, so spending part of my day in a quiet house with a cat isn't a chore, it's exactly how I like to spend time. Since I'll be in your home, your cat keeps their normal routine and space, with someone who isn't watching the clock.

About Griffin M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for cats in their own home by keeping things calm, predictable, and focused on what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I start by following the client’s routine as closely as possible: meal times, portions, favorite spots, and any house rules they already know. I give them space at first, especially shy or cautious cats, and let them come to me on their terms while I move slowly and quietly. I make sure litter boxes, food, and water are kept clean and fresh, and I pay attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or energy so I can flag anything that seems off to the owner. I spend real time with them, not just a quick in-and-out visit: play if they want to play, brushing or cuddles if that is what they enjoy, and quiet company for cats who just like having someone nearby. I keep doors, windows, and outdoor access exactly as the owner requests, and I treat their home with the same respect I give my own. Throughout the stay, I send clear, honest updates and photos so the owner always knows how their cat is doing and can feel relaxed while they are away.
Information Griffin M. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know anything that helps your pet feel happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Please share their normal routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys or treats, personality, and any little quirks they may have. It’s also helpful to know about medications, allergies, medical needs, fears, triggers, hiding spots, or behaviors I should watch for. The more I know about what they enjoy and what helps them feel at ease, the better I can keep their routine familiar and give them the best care possible.
A typical day
While caring for pets in their own home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and fun while staying comfortable in their normal routine. For dogs, that may include walks, outdoor time, games, toys, treats, and lots of play and cuddle breaks. For cats, I’ll offer wand-toy play, enrichment activities, brushing, window watching, treats, and quiet companionship, depending on their personality and what makes them happiest.

Thoughtful, reliable dog care
Pet care experience
I bring almost nine years of veterinary medicine experience into a calm, home-based style of dog care. I am very comfortable reading body language, following detailed instructions, and noticing small changes that might matter for your dog’s health or comfort. I’m used to working with seniors, dogs on medications, and pups who are a little anxious or reactive, so things like careful timing, gentle handling, and sticking to routine are normal parts of how I care for dogs. I treat each dog like an individual, keep communication clear, and focus on making sure they feel safe and understood while you are away.

Reviews
Griffin is has been a great cat sitter to my three cats. With her background in Veterinary Medicine, I felt confident that my cats were being taken care of. She was communicative and sent picture updates. Those were appreciative during my vacation. I highly recommend her!
