I'm Carly
Cat Sitting in Worcester, MA
I've grown up around cats my entire life, and I greet every cat I meet with the enthusiasm of a kid on Christmas morning.
I have a sassy tuxedo girl named Licorice and a classic orange boy named Butterscotch. They've figured out how to train me just as much as I've trained them, lol! Even though they're siblings, they couldn't be more different. Licorice is my shy, picky eater, while her brother Butterscotch is the outgoing, instant friend-maker who is ready to eat anything that may or may not be edible.
Let's just say I know how to bond with a range of kitty personalities! Whether you have a social butterfly, a... Hi! I’m Carly! I'm the classic millennial who has “chosen to raise her cats as if they were her own children.” ...Well, that's because they are my children, and no one can convince me otherwise!!

Let's just say I know how to bond with a range of kitty personalities! Whether you have a social butterfly, a shy little hideaway, or a senior kitty who just wants to stick to the routine they've memorized since they were a kitten, I’m happy to meet them wherever they are.
I've used fellow Meowtel sitters to take care of Licorice and Butterscotch in the past, so I know how much peace of mind matters when you’re away from home! I work professionally in hospitality and events, so being dependable, communicative, organized, and respectful of other people’s spaces is already a huge part of my everyday life.
I’m the person who wants the detailed instructions: feeding routines, favorite hiding spots, which toy is THE toy, and whether your cat prefers immediate friendship or requires that I politely pretend they don’t exist for the first 20 minutes.
I occasionally travel for work, so my availability varies week to week. But when I’m home, I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I’m often available for weekday mornings, midday visits, afternoons, and other times that can be tricky to find coverage for.
During visits, I’m happy to handle meals, fresh water, litter, medication as your vet directs, and of course plenty of playtime, cuddles, and photo updates. 🐈⬛
Learn More About Carly
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I want to know all the little details! Walk me through your cat’s normal routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, hiding spots, quirks, and your house rules. For example, I have to feed my Licorice on top of her favorite stool to protect her from her brother eating her leftovers... but I also can't face the stool toward the patio window or the squirrels will distract her and she'll forget to eat. There will NEVER be a rule that is too “weird” for me! I’d rather have too much information than not enough. My goal is to keep things as familiar and predictable as possible while you’re away.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I treat someone else’s home the way I’d want a sitter to treat mine! If you think your kitty is a potential escape artist, I can ninja my way through your front door. I’ll follow instructions closely and double-check food, water, litter, and even your thermostat to make sure everyone is secure and comfy before I leave. I’m pretty observant and quick on my feet! If anything ever seems unusual with your cat or your home, I’ll communicate with you right away.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
As the parent of a shy kitty myself, I’m very comfortable letting cats set the terms of our friendship! I won’t force attention or pull a nervous cat out of their safe space. I’m perfectly happy sitting nearby and offering treats or toys until curiosity wins. Earning the trust of a shy cat is extra rewarding, and I have a pretty great success rate! ❤️

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Worcester cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.
Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
