Pet care experience

I love furry friends! :)

I am a teacher, so I am free on weekends and anytime after 3pm on the weekdays. :) I go for a lot of walks, and I would love to have some company! I have two cats who are very friendly, and one who is a little shy. I have worked as a dog sitter/house sitter for a couple of years now in Fresno, and previous years for clients in the Nipomo area. I’d love to offer my services so that you can go on your vacation worry free! Please feel free to message me :)

Melanie is absolutely wonderful! I feel so comfortable leaving my furbaby in her care! She’s quick to respond, keeps me updated, and allows me a completely stress-free experience while I’m out of town. Melanie is my favorite sitter on this site! I strongly recommend her!
