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.
