Highlights
Pet care experience
Squamish’s paw-some dog pal ☺️
I bring 16+ years of hands-on experience training puppies, caring for senior dogs, and even administering insulin. I helped raise and train my family’s cockapoo (now 14), and since living away from him, I want to pour all that love into caring for yours. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family for years and have worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from chihuahuas to German Shepherds. I’m patient, intuitive, and quick to read each dog’s personality so they feel comfortable and understood. I work from home, which gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, and playtime throughout the day. If your dog loves activity, I’m happy to take them on long walks or even join me on a trail run. Safety, trust, and genuine care are my priorities. I want your dog to feel secure, happy, and loved every moment they’re with me.

Safety, trust & environment
I can accommodate and be flexible based on yours and your pet’s needs. I can follow instructions when caring for your pet at your home or guidelines to what your pet needs during day visits and walks. I am reachable throughout the day if there are changes and adjustments to be made.
Ratings and reviews
Sheila was very responsive to messages and was great with our dog!
Sheila is a lovely person and brisket took to her immediately. Stoked to have her back again sometime.
Sheila has been amazing! Very easy to communicate and coordinate with. She's such an animal lover and can cater to pets needs. Sheila takes our dog for walks and he absolutely adores her. We're so happy to have found her!
I had booked a walk for my puppy on the wrong date. Sheila went out of her way on a day the walk was not scheduled and had taken my puppy for her walk while I was at work. Sheila went above and beyond. I could not recommend her enough!!
Sheila is professional and punctual with my dog! Highly recommend 😊
Sheila was very receptive to what I wanted for my pup! Went above my expectations 😊. Highly recommend!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home during the week, so I have plenty of flexibility for regular clients and one-time visits. I love breaking up my workday with walks, and having your dog join me is always a highlight. I’ve previously taken two dogs on daily afternoon walks during weekdays and can easily accommodate similar schedules. On weekends, I’m even more flexible and happy to adjust to whatever your pet needs.
