Safety, trust & environment

I care for clients animals in their own homes. I've found familiar to be the best environment for caring for animals big and small. I'm experienced in positive reinforcement training and have taken several classes on behavior training with my own dog.

Information Lewis M. would like to know about your pet

Basic info: age, breed, weight, name(s), and how long you’ve had them. Temperament & behavior: friendly/shy, separation anxiety, triggers (e.g., other dogs, loud noises), any aggression or fear responses. Daily routine: feeding times, portion sizes, walk schedule, bathroom habits. Training & commands: what they know, recall reliability, leash behavior, any ongoing training goals. Exercise needs: energy level and preferred activities (fetch, long walks, mental games, etc.) Medical needs: medications, allergies, past injuries, vet contact info, emergency plan. Diet details: food type, treats allowed, anything they absolutely shouldn’t eat. House rules: furniture access, crate use, sleeping arrangements. Socialization: how they do with other dogs, cats, kids, or strangers. Safety concerns: escape tendencies, off-leash reliability, things that stress them out Favorite things: toys, routines, comfort items, what helps them settle. Emergency contacts: your preferred contact method and a backup contact.

A typical day

I enjoy training activities for mental engagement, as well as playing fetch and going on walks. I like to tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level, whether that’s practicing basic commands, working on new tricks, or just providing consistent structure and positive reinforcement. I also make sure there’s a good balance of physical exercise and calm time so pets feel both stimulated and comfortable while you’re away.

Lewis was fantastic with our dogs and took great care of our home. He’s the best dog sitter we’ve had. My dog is usually cool to strangers and instantly became obsessed with him. He was great about sending pictures, communicating about any issues they had and made sure they had plenty of activity.

Lewis did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Watson, and maintaining our home in tip-top shape. He walked Watson every day and stayed with him overnight. Additionally, he took terrific care of our garden plants which had specific requirements. The house was left clean and tidy. We give Lewis out highest recommendation!

Omgosh, Lewis is/was amazing. Would highly recommend him. Great communication and my dogs loved him-which is so rare. They usually don’t like new people. My house was left in a better condition than when we left! Thank you, Lewis. Would definitely book again.

Lewis was a wonderful dog sitter! Our dogs were well taken care of, and he left our house clean and tidy. He provided ample updates so we didn't have to worry about our dogs while we were away. He also watered some plants for me. We'll certainly use him again!
