Services
Sheila can care for
Availability
My schedule is flexible, and I do my best to work around each pet’s usual routine and comfort level. I work remotely during house sittings, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with pets throughout the day and evening while still balancing occasional drop-in visits and appointments 😊

About Sheila T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
During drop-in visits and house sittings, I make pet safety and home security a priority. I’m mindful of doors, gates, harnesses, and leashes to help prevent pets from slipping out or becoming unsafe during care and walks. I carefully follow household routines and instructions, keep feeding and medication schedules consistent, and always do my best to leave your home tidy and well cared for. For safety reasons, I’m unable to care for pets with contagious illnesses or pets that display aggressive behaviour such as snapping, biting, or persistent nipping toward people or other animals. I do not provide pet care in my own home. All services take place in the client’s home environment so pets can remain comfortable in their familiar space and routine 🐾
Information Sheila T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special routines, medical needs, safety concerns, anxieties, favourite activities, or unique quirks your pet may have so I can provide the safest and most comfortable care possible. This can include things like escape tendencies, hiding in small spaces, chewing cords or household items, sensitivity to noises, food restrictions, favourite toys or treats, or anything else important for me to watch for while caring for your pet 😊
A typical day
A typical day includes feeding routines, fresh water, treats, walks if needed, litter box cleanups, playtime, enrichment, affection, and lots of check-ins throughout the day when I’m house sitting 🐾 I work remotely during house sittings, so pets usually have plenty of companionship and supervision while I balance a calm, predictable routine around their needs. I also provide regular photo and message updates to help reassure you that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away 😊

Experienced pet sitter 🐶😸🕊❤️
Pet care experience
I’m a friendly, attentive pet sitter with 40 years of pet care experience and Canadian Red Cross First Aid for Dogs & Cats training. I provide thoughtful, reliable care for cats, dogs, and other common household pets, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, and care instructions. I’m especially patient with shy pets and attentive to the needs of senior animals who may need a quieter approach or extra care and monitoring. I’m also comfortable administering medications in food or pill pockets, as well as injections for calm, cooperative pets that are comfortable being handled.
Cat care experience
Sheila also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Fantastic job watching Callisto! And thanks again for checking on my plants as well, really appreciate it.
My dog is always happy to see Sheila, she is very punctual and responds quickly
Sheila cared for my cat Miso via drop in visits over a 6-day period. Sheila provided a detailed update and multiple pictures during each visit, responded in a timely and professional manner, and was kind enough to water our planters and bring in a package that was delivered early. I would highly recommend Sheila and hope to book with her again in the future!
Never a worry when Shiela is there to take care of our cat while we’re away. 5 Stars. ⭐️ Great details included in the report cards and pictures.
