Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident in your pet’s care. My home is a safe, calm, and loving space, but I only offer in-home boarding to trusted clients and pets, as I have a precious new cat of my own to consider. When caring for your pet in your home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to creating a warm, engaging environment for your pet—whether through walks, gentle play, or cozy companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first.

Sheelagh was amazing with my two cats! They loved playing with her. Even my shy cat warmed up to her instantly. She kept communication consistent so I felt in the loop while I was away.

Hello, Sheelagh is wonderful with pets. Sheelagh and her family adopted our dog, who at that time was terrible with cats and defensive around other male dogs. Sheelagh managed to teach him to calm down and be fine with cats as well as be gentle around other dogs. Sheelagh is a faithful dog walker, kind and gentle. I highly recommend her! Your dogs will love her!

I wholeheartedly recommend Sheelagh as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. What truly sets Sheelagh apart is her deeply caring personality. She's the kind of person who notices when a pet seems a little off and takes the time to investigate and respond with compassion. Her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals of all kinds makes her an exceptional caregiver and a joy to work with.

The more I know, the more I can help your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home—even when they’re not with their family. Of course safety info is helpful! Informing me of medications, allergies, or any ongoing conditions to watch for is important. It’s also good to know how they handle new people, other animals, loud noises, or being alone. Being informed of their favorite hiding spots, things that soothe them, or anything that stresses them out can really help me to provide the best care. Please let me know where your pets are (or aren’t) allowed, crate use, or training cues you’re reinforcing.
