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
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.
Carter was absolutely fantastic! He gave Tobi lots of attention and I loved seeing the check-in photos and videos he sent. He was great at communicating before the first visit and made sure that we were all set before I left for vacation. I would definitely book Carter again!
Carter is the absolute best. You can count on him to take attentive care of your pets, your plants and your whole house! His check ins are clever and thorough and his photos are wonderful. We have had him sit for us at least 4 times now, and he will continue to be our go to (as long as he is available)!!
Carter was an excellent sitter!!! Super friendly, very responsible, knowledgeable about the cats, and was genuinely excited to see them. c: Sent lots of pictures and ended up going above and beyond what was asked. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter would recommend!
Carter is reliable and goes the extra mile! He took care of my pair of cats again, giving them the love and attention they craved. Would definitely book again.
Carter is absolute best pet sitter! Our kitty is so happy and so well taken care of!! ❤️❤️

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!
