Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet sitter 🐶😸🕊❤️
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.

Sheila also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
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 🐾
Ratings and reviews
Sheila did drop-in visits with my cat, Valentine, while I was away for a few days, and was a wonderful and very professional sitter. My girl can be a little anxious around strangers, and Sheila did a great job respecting her boundaries and making her comfortable enough to even play a little while I was gone. The best part for me was the really fantastic photos she took and attached to each visit report card; it was such a comfort to see how happy Valentine was while I was away, and they were just very cute photos. Would definitely recommend her and book again!
Sheila took such great care of our two kitties while we were away. They were happy, content, and well cared for when we returned home. She was wonderful at communicating and sending us pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was a fantastic experience, and we would definitely recommend Sheila!
Amazing sitter who is attentive and caring with my two skittish rescues! Highly recommended Sheila
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!

Schedule
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 😊
