Hi, I'm Ellis. I grew up with both dogs and cats, and I recently moved into my own place after living with two cats that I miss dearly. I'm hoping to spend some time with animals again by offering to cat sit or dog sit. I'm attentive, trustworthy, and always punctual, and I'd love the chance to help take care of your pets.

I've had animals all my life, including cats, dogs, and fish. I currently have a 3-year-old German Shepard at home and was very involved in her training as a puppy, so I'm familiar with various animal-interaction methods. I am available for walking animals or animal-sitting in case of a vacation, etc.
