Pet care experience
I grew up in a home with eight dogs, so I am very experienced with taking care of pets. My father was the executive director of the Humane Society of Yuma, and currently owns Purrfurred Pets vet clinics in Phoenix, AZ. Dogs are very in tune with their senses, and they can smell fear or discomfort from a mile away. Dogs are always comfortable around me, because they know that I'm a trustworthy human who has an understanding of them. I have been in several situations where a dog owner is surprised their dog was friendly towards me, and that they are usually wary of strangers. This is due to dogs innate ability as pack animals to sense positive energy. I was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps after 5 years of service, so although you may find more inexpensive pet care elsewhere, you can guarantee that you're getting a responsible and knowledgeable pet-sitter when choosing to utilize my services.
Reviews
Ellis watched my dog last week and he was great! His house was clean, and he and his girlfriend were so good with Elmo! When I came to pick him up, he was happy, and I could tell well taken care of. Ellis is great!!!
Ellis provided care and service to my two dogs that was far beyond what I expected. I have a Golden Retriever and a Jack Russel Terrier that can be quite than handful to strangers, even to myself, but Ellis managed to keep them looking happy and healthy when I returned from a 5-day business summit. His personality certainly is a fit for this line of work, an outstanding quality because I am sure that there are many like me who are very apprehensive leaving their beloved furry family members with others. Ultimately, I will certainly be using Ellis again to watch my dogs and would recommend him to anyone that wants a watchful, playful eye for on their animals that will ensure they are happy and cared for until your return
Ellis is a very caring individual who values animals as much as humans. He is patient and dependable. Either cats or dogs seem to always feel safe around him. I feel Ellis would be doing what he already does on a daily basis, caring and loving animals. This would not be a "job" for him, but something he already does for his own pet, making sure they are loved, cared for, and happy.
