My name is Carolyn, I am a cat mom who is passionate about making sure all cats are well taken care of and live happy lives. I have two cats, one younger and one elderly. My 3 year old cat, Russell, I rescued at just 5 weeks old! I am familiar with all regular daily cat needs and will make sure your little one is well taken care of. I trained him as well ensuring he knew how to use the litter box and developed an eating schedule. I will ensure that I am keeping up with your cats routine to the best of my ability while you are away for both their comfort and yours!! I am also well versed in the level and type of stimulation cats need in order to exercise them, properly maintain their energy levels, and direct their biting and scratching tendencies to the right places. My 14 year old cat, Sheldon, is my sweet old man! I have had him since childhood, my family adopted him at 3 months old. He is now under my care full time so I am experienced in the needs of elderly cats. I have experience administering medication orally, topically, and subqutaneously. I also have experience with inhalers. I look forward to caring for your cats and making sure you have peace of mind while you’re away from your babies!!

Learn More About Carolyn

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love making connections with new cats! There are only so many cats one person can adopt, so I love the opportunity to care for someone else’s and meet a new cat!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Ensuring the safety of the cat I am watching as well as the home starts with getting the right information. This means knowing the cat’s routine, health status, and tendencies (for example if they’re a bolter) as well as the home’s security measures and how to make sure they are in place. I will always be paying high attention to the cat at all times making sure they are happy and healthy! My top priority will always be ensuring peace of mind of the cat owner, they will know their cat is safe and well taken care of.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I know that there are many cats out there that are a bit more skiddish than others! I am familiar with this kind of cat and they are actually my favorite. Their trust is limited but earning it can be done by respecting their boundaries, ensuring their safety, and keeping to their routines. I will give timid cats their space if that is why they require while still making sure they are watched and taken care of.

Carolyn did an amazing job caring for our cats while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates, which gave us so much peace of mind, and it was clear our cats were in great hands the entire time. She went above and beyond by administering medication to one of our cats and keeping us closely updated when he wasn’t feeling well. The best part was coming home to a clean house—it made such a difference after traveling. Carolyn was reliable, attentive, and truly a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.

Carolyn did an awesome job with my 3 cats! The daily updates and photos were so reassuring. It was great how she found ways to interact with them based on each one’s personality! I also appreciated how neat (and thorough!) she was with the food, meds and litter boxes. Will definitely work with Carolyn again for my future cat care needs!

Carolyn was great to work with and I would recommend her to anyone that needs a cat sitter. She responds to messages quickly and sends daily updates/pictures, which was nice because I missed my cats while I was away. She also informed me if anything seemed off with them. I look forward to working with her again in the future.

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.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 free Meet & Greet!
