I'd like to put a small seat somewhere in our shower. Is this
something I might be able to do myself or should I hire a
contractor?
I'm thinking of something that I can just screw or glue onto the
existing shower. I don't want to remove any tiles and build it
in. Is that possible or reasonable?
The shower has 4x4 tiles over sheetrock.
Here are a couple of examples I found.

It doesn't need to be as fancy as either of those.
You might consider seats from a medical supply house.
Something like this requires no install or modification to the
shower.

That's a very good idea. Thanks.
And probably the best one in your case. You can also get
inexpensive, small, plastic stools at Home Depot and many other
places.
A built in one wouldn't be all that hard - your DIY was very good -
IF the shower wasn't already tiled.
I bought an aluminum adjustable 4-legged shower seat on Amazon last
year ($25.55) because I needed it after I had broken my leg (yesterday
the orthopedist declared it fully healed - no need for any more
follow-up).
It is light, fairly compact and really comfortable. When not needed
it obviously can be packed upinto the attic, where it doesn't take
space in the shower. (Bathtub with shower, including a bar that the
handheld head can be put on for vertical adjustment higher for me
than for spouse)
Is that model still available?
This was it:

That is the one I was leaning to, but in white.
Note: I had a broken leg that couldn't bear weight, but no problems with
my equilibrium.
That stool looks fairly stable.
