Services

Carly can care for

Cats

Availability

I am flexible on weekday mornings and evenings as I work remotely, with the greatest flexibility on the weekends. I offer 30 and 60 minute drop-ins to clients. I can work from your place if needed depending on the urgency of my workload (if I need distraction free or not). I am a night owl and may drop in later in the evenings if it works for you and your kitty(s)! Please note: For cats aged 1 year or younger, I offer a drop in service for 1 day maximum (I will not do drop ins for kittens for an extended period of time).

Safety, trust & environment

For visits I offer litter box cleaning, quality time (playing, cuddles, being present so they’re not alone!) and of course watering and feeding. If you have any special requests, please ask! I’m happy to be a pet sitter who can fulfill other needs on a case by case basis to make your time away less stressful. This could include watering plants, signing for packages, and more. I also try to keep things tidy for your return!

Information Carly S. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me a bit about your cat’s unique personality! Are there any quirks I should know about? Are they skiddish? High energy? Known to throw up or have watery eyes? Special needs? While I am no medical professional, I do have experience administering oral medication, and would consider caring for your special needs pet on a case-by-case basis.

A typical day

A typical drop in comes with a warm greeting, some love and attention, checking their food + water and replenishing as needed, cleaning the litter box, and some playing if they’re into it! I like to spend a portion of my visit sitting on the couch to offer some quality lap-time. I try to snap some good pics or videos before I leave!

Cat care experience

I’ve lived with cats all my life—I’m a cat person through and through! 🐈💯 Your cat’s safety, comfort, and overall well-being are my priority. No matter your needs as a client, I’m happy to ease your worries during your time away with clear communication and attention to detail. I’m excited to meet your furry friend! My beloved cat Miss Pookums recently passed, and so I have so much more enjoyment and appreciation for enjoying the company of other pets and taking care of them.

Carly was wonderful to work with and extremely professional! She took excellent care of Pandora and made sure to go the extra mile to play with her and keep her company.

Carly was wonderful from the time we booked her until we arrived back home from our vacation. She is attentive and responds quickly. She took all the stress of worrying about our pets away while on our vacation. Could not recommend her enough!

Carly was responsible, communicative, and kind while taking great care of our three cats. Every visit, she made sure the cats were fed, watered, had clean litter, and enjoyed some playtime. She always shared pics which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We are glad to count on Carly!

Carly is amazing! She quickly bonded with our kitty and even got her to jump up on her lap, something she rarely does for us! Carly also kept us updated on her visits and even braved the bitter cold and piles of snow (we were not home to clean the driveway) by parking at the neighbor's house and walking over. The pictures she took (and even a video one day!) were welcome and helped us relax knowing our kitty was in good hands. If you are looking for someone to treat your pet as if it were their own, look no further than Carly!
