Highlights
Pet care experience
I meet cats where they’re at
I’m quick on my feet, work across the temperament spectrum — from shy to vocal to reactive — and love to fill a cats’ day with enrichment and attention. I have experience administering medications to cats (both oral and injectable.) My home is non-toxic 🪴 with lots of hidey-holes for cats to get comfortable. I grew up in a household with a rotation of cats and dogs. As a first-gen, low-income student I regularly sat dogs and cats, large and small, for friends and families. When I rented my first apartment in 2019, I adopted my first cat, Woodstock. In 2020 we added Goob to the family, an older cat I treated for a type II diabetes diagnosis (insulin-dependent) and facilitated a weight loss regiment.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Every cat in your household gets their meal, 1:1 playtime, nail check-ups and paw cleanings. If desired or required I can facilitate brushing, teeth brushing, medications, and any dietary restrictions or particularities. I’ll need a fact sheet on each kitty and what they prefer. You’ll get a written update, pictures, and videos of your cats. I will scrub the location from furnished recordings and request permission before sharing to social media. I will clean and top off litter boxes, address any excess tracking or accidents that may occur over the interim, and vacuum fur-laden surfaces. I prefer a low-power pet fountain that ensures your cats get enrichment and 24/7 fresh water access. If you want me to bring one for the duration, let me know!
Ratings and reviews
Carter was amazing!!! In addition to detailed daily updates with many photos, he really keyed into what our cat needed. He was very aware of every detail, and even brought a shedding brush from home to help keep our cat groomed. He spent so much great quality time with our guy and kept our apartment so spotless! We were really pleasantly surprised when we came home to a clean apartment and very happy cat! Thanks so much Carter!
Carter is fantastic.
This was our second time booking with Carter and he was fantastic once again. Our cat Venna was clearly very comfortable and well cared for the entire time. Carter kept us updated regularly and sent us tons of pictures. It was really reassuring to see her relaxed, happy, and being herself. Carter is also incredibly accommodating. When our flight got delayed on the last day, he immediately noticed and offered to drop Venna off at our place so we wouldn’t have to pick her up around 12:30 a.m. after a long travel day. That was such a thoughtful gesture and made things so much easier for us. We came back to a happy cat, and we’d absolutely trust him with her again. Highly recommend him for both drop-ins and boarding!
Carter is absolutely amazing! He has sweet, calming energy that my cats were drawn to immediately, which helped ease my anxiety about needing to leave for an extended period of time. His check-in messages were thoughtful and just what I needed! He sent a lot of photos, and it appears that my boys took to him like family. I appreciate his prompt communication and willingness to jump right in when I needed last minute arrangements. I feel incredibly fortunate to have connected with Carter, and couldn’t be happier with the care my boys received. Having someone I trust in my home and with my cats is invaluable. Highly recommended!
I can’t give Carter enough stars! Best sitter to our cat Zoey! ❤️ I know every time we have to go out of town that our sweet kitty will be well taken care of!
Very flexible accommodating sitter that goes above and beyond for my cat to make her feel loved. Carter spent extra time and went beyond duties I had expected or asked for a very last minute drop in schedule.

Schedule
I’m a freelance designer and a bit of a digital nomad; I’m on the move in late afternoons and evenings. Since cats are nocturnal creatures — and I so am I! — I like to give them attention and food after the sun has set
- CatsCarter can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Let me know if your cat has any specific needs or any preferences—from what type of physical contact they prefer to how best to play with them. Whether boarding or cat-sitting, I ask pet-parents to trim their cats’ claws—they are typically much less willing to have a manicure from a sitter! 😂 I usually ask pet-parents to bring important supplies from home (litter box, litter, food, water bowls or fountains, any important toys or cat beds, etc) I’ve found that when boarding kitties the more from home they have, the quicker they are to get comfy 😸 I do have all the necessary supplies if that presents a burden!
