Pet care fits very naturally into my current routine. After many years working in financial services, I've recently taken a step back to focus on the next stage of my life, including volunteer work and preparing for a future career in child protection. As a result, I have more flexibility and availability than I've had in years. This means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to the animals in my care, whether that's walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, administering routine care, or simply being present to keep them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets doesn't feel like something I have to fit into my schedule, it's something I actively want to make time for. My routine is currently very flexible, which allows me to adapt to a pet's individual needs and maintain the consistency and attention that animals thrive on.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, whether in my own home or in a pet owner's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable and secure while maintaining the routines they're already familiar with. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when they're away from their families. I previously provided pet sitting services through Rover and was fortunate to receive a lot of positive reviews and repeat bookings from owners who trusted me with their pets time and time again. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to that account due to an old email address being closed, which is something I'm sad about, as I was very proud of the relationships and reputation I built there. One of the things owners appreciated most was that I followed instructions carefully and respected their preferences. All pets are different, and every owner has their own routines, rules and expectations too. Whether that's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, training commands, sleeping arrangements or simply how their pet likes to be approached, I make a point of following those instructions exactly as requested. I also understand that inviting someone into your home or trusting them with a pet is a big responsibility and requires a lot of trust and communication. I treat both with the same respect I would expect from someone caring for my own animals. Clear communication, reliability and kindness are very important to me, and I always aim to give pet owners complete peace of mind while they're away.

Pet care experience
I've always had a deep love for animals and have spent most of my life around them. Growing up, I had a cat called Tigs who was very much a one person cat, and chose me as her human. I also had a beautiful Akita called Kimmy, who was absolutely huge but had the gentlest nature. Alongside them, I grew up with a parrot called Charlie, who I taught to whistle and sing songs from my favourite films. Charlie is still going strong today, living happily with my sister A few years ago, I regularly worked as a dog sitter and was fortunate to have a lot of repeat bookings from owners who trusted me with their pets. I eventually stopped due to work commitments, but I've always missed spending that time with animals and am excited to get back into it. Friends and family often joke that I'm a bit like Snow White or Dr Dolittle because animals seem to warm to me very quickly. I've always found that they respond well to my calm, gentle nature, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal's personality, quirks and routines. Whether it's energetic dogs who love long walks or cats who just want a quiet companion, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable and cared for. One thing people often comment on is how easily I seem to connect with animals that others find intimidating. Whether it's large dogs, geese, swans or nervous rescue animals, I've always found that patience, calmness and respect go a long way. Friends are often surprised when a supposedly grumpy animal ends up sitting beside me or accepting affection. My love of animals extends to all creatures, big and small. Even insects get carefully moved outside rather than harmed. I've never really believed that a creature's size determines its worth. One of my favourite memories was sitting outdoors when a wild bird landed beside me and started singing. I whistled a tune back and, to my amazement, it continued singing in response. We went back and forth for several minutes, and the bird stayed nearby the entire time. It might sound silly, but moments like that are a big part of why I love animals so much. There's something special about earning the trust of a creature that doesn't have to trust you at all. For me, looking after animals never feels like work. I genuinely love their company and treat every pet with the same kindness, patience and affection I'd want for my own.

Reviews
Lewis is just amazing with animals the care and love he gives to them is above and beyond. He has such an incredible aura that animals are instinctively drawn to him.
A real life Dr Do Little. I genuinely couldn’t think of anyone better or more trusted to leave my cat Alan with. Genuinely feels lovely to be able to go away and not have to worry about being away from my baby boy because Lewis is so reassuring and always happy to send me photo’s of him!
I've had Lewis look after my Spinger Spaniel a few times over the last year and a half and hes treats him like he would his own family. Nothing is ever to much and Scrappy is always very excited to see him. Lewis adores all animals. They are always completely safe in his care.
Lewis is such a kind and caring human who absolutely adores animals. He provides a loving and safe environment for everyone. He’s so trustworthy and attentive, any animal would be lucky to be in his care! :)
