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
We were so nervous about leaving our two cats at home for a week-long trip for the first time, but hiring Carter was the best decision we could have made. He is an absolutely phenomenal sitter! One of our cats has some pretty strict medical needs, requiring nightly heart medication and twice-daily supplements mixed into her food. Carter handled all of her extra care flawlessly. His communication was top-notch. His Rover cards were incredibly detailed, full of great pictures, and he gave us plenty of heads-up if we were running low on anything like cat food, litter, or trash bags. He was always on time and proactively let us know way in advance if his schedule shifted at all. On top of the amazing pet care, Carter went above and beyond with our house. He kept the litter boxes clean, vacuumed whenever things got messy, brought in our packages, and even went out of his way to fix a couple of poorly assembled chairs for us! If you're looking for someone reliable who truly cares, book him. He completely deserves every single one of his 5-star reviews. We came home to a clean house and happy cats, and we will absolutely be booking with him again.
Carter was such a great cat sitter, took great care of our two kitties and we would definitely book again!
Carter was great! Carter came to check in our cat while we were gone for a long weekend. He is very knowledgeable about cats and a great communicator. I definitely recommend Carter. He was awesome
Carter is the best! He truly went above and beyond in every way. He was incredibly thoughtful, attentive, and made sure our cats received excellent care, attention, and love. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands, and we would absolutely book with him again.
Carter took fantastic care of our kitties and our space. One of our cats has diabetes and needs insulin, and it’s so reassuring to know that Carter is familiar with his needs and can administer his insulin. Our other cat is pretty persnickety about new people but Carter got to know her boundaries and we came home to two very happy cats. We would happily hire Carter again!
Carter has been an amazing sitter for Termite. Always attentive, proactive, and accommodating. I have full confidence Termite is in the best hands when I have to be away, Carter sent many pictures and videos of her happy and content during the long 3 week stay. Carter is my go-to sitter for Termite!

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
