Availability
I work full-time with a hybrid schedule, which means I can nearly always schedule visits if timing is flexible. Of course, I understand that many cats have specific routines and I always want to honour that. So, before accepting a booking, I’ll confirm expectations around timing to ensure I can care for your pet in the ways that it needs.

About Carlie F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I aim to build trust with both you and your pet(s). I go slow with introductions, let them establish the pace, and aim to uphold consistent schedules and expectations to help them acclimate.
Information Carlie F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know in advance if your cat is reactive to specific stimuli and/or aggressive. I'd also like to know what's comforting to them.
A typical day
Visits differ a lot depending on the personality of the cat! With the social butterflies, I’ll talk, play with them, and give as many pets as they’d like. With shyer cats, I typically say hello but give them space to come to me if/when they’re ready. I also pride myself on my cat photography skills!

Friendly, focused care
Pet care experience
I fell in love with cats when I began fostering them as an adult. I eventually found one that I just couldn't give up, so I adopted him and he's been with me for 10 years. On Rover, I specialize in drop-in care for cats in the East End of Portland. I love working locally within my own neighborhood, because it creates time for walking or a bike ride, which is a fun bonus on top of meeting new cat friends! I’m happy to visit with them on their terms, handle litter, meds, and all kinds of feeding needs. If you’re just looking for a quick check-in (especially if you have a shy cat who doesn’t love strangers!) let me know and we can discuss an “express visit” at a lower rate.

Reviews
Carlie was wonderful. Thoughtful, great at communicating, and a stellar cat photographer. Must book!
Carlie is great - super communicative and reliable - and it was a relief knowing that our cats were in such good hands while we were away. Will definitely be asking her to look after them again in future!
Carlie took wonderful care of my cats and sent lots of pictures and updates to keep me relaxed while traveling
Carlie was fantastic!! I can not recommend enough. She took amazing care of my cat Widgey and was so easy to communicate with. Truly an incredible cat sitter.
