I'm Shelby

Cat Sitting in Fresno, CA

Hi! I can't wait to meet you (&your furry friends💚)!

My name is Shelby, and I've had the pleasure of living alongside my 3 cats for over 2 years. Before them, I had the joy of living alongside a plethora of pets, like dogs, fish, lizards, frogs, and other cats in my family!

I work a government job, so while I work typical hours M-F, I do have the flexibility to adjust! This is especially great for families with pets that are on a specific feeding schedule or need their medications at set times. Generally, I'm available for sitting before work, during my lunch hour, and after work.

I am fully vaccinated for covid-19, as well as standard annual flu shots...

Carefully following feeding instructions (trust me, I know! My cats are fed 4 meals a day 🐱)
Cleaning litter box and litter area, including accidents, sweeping, vacuuming, mopping as needed
Play time!
Watering household plants

Taking out the trash.
Administration of medications according to instructions
And lots of communication: I typically respond in less than an hour, and I want to send you lots of updates, pictures, and videos!

Please let me know what I can do to make sure your cats are one less stress during your time away from home! I will do my best to accommodate all reasonable requests, so don't be shy to reach out.

We were extremely pleased with our cat sitter, Shelby, and with the overall experience with Meowtel. Shelby is a terrific pet sitter, the best one we’ve hired. We found Shelby to be very competent and conscientious, and she communicated very well, notifying us before each visit and providing a report immediately after each visit, including photos. We have a difficult cat – older with health issues and very skittish around other people, and we were very worried about leaving her while we were gone for 9 days. Shelby took wonderful care of our cat (Jude), and really helped ease our worries about being gone. Shelby got Jude to warm up to her. Jude never really liked any of the previous pet sitters, but she responded well to Shelby. In addition to taking care of Jude, Shelby dealt very well with some house issues such as a malfunctioning kitchen faucet and adding water to an outside fountain. Shelby followed all instructions we left to the letter, and went above and beyond in keeping our home clean and keeping Jude happy and comfortable. She was even thoughtful in leaving some welcoming lights on for us (asking first) since we got home very late. We very highly recommend Shelby for pet sitting, and will definitely hire her again.

Shelby was a terrific cat sitter. I was out of state for Christmas and her attention to detail and messages with information about my cat kept my mind at ease. My cat was happy and healthy when we returned. I would definitely recommend Shelby and hope to book with her again! Thank you!

Shelby was very attentive and caring with our senior kitty, Mr. Snugglepants. She made me feel at ease leaving him, knowing she would communicate any changes he may be having. He is deaf and scared of strangers, but warmed up to her during the visit. Highly recommend!

Shelby is the most amazing sitter. She's genuinely caring, very attentive, and above and beyond with our kitties! Not only did I think these things of her but so did our kitties. My cat was very happy and calm with her. Even our most shy kitty went to cuddle with her and that says ALOT!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Fresno cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
