Animal care is my life, I love meeting new friends both hooman and four legged š. Some of my closest friends have been met through sitting and volunteering. Itās so fun connecting with animals and building a trusting relationship. Iāve been an animal advocate and volunteer here in the valley for most of my adult life; and have cared for animals both in cat sitting and volunteering for the last 10 years.
A bit about me and my experience, training and skills. Iām a US Army Veteran, grew up in Utah County, and have lived in the Salt Lake Valley the last 25+ years. Iāve fostered exactly 99 animals to date, primarily kittens, senior cats, and hospice cats. I do freedom transports for non profits in the area, and am an active member in Utah animal advocacy/rescue groups on social media.
My training with Best Friends Animal Society: I was trained when they had the 24/7 Kitten Nursey on the corner of West Temple and Crystal Ave: in neonatal care, contagion control (preventing the spread of transmitted diseases), administering IVās and oral medications, and have expressed bladders for cats with paralysis. I also took classes on fostering, volunteering and safe transport practices.
My training and experience with Whiskers: I was a foster for senior and hospice cats; I administered IVās, oral medications, socialized, TNRād, applied ointments, and was trained in safe transport practices.
(* I am currently enrolled in Pet First Aid and CPR and will be certified in the near future)
Iām also a community cat caregiver! I take care of my own community of feral cats; I (TNR) trap, spay/nueter, vaccinate - and nightly I visit them and feed them.
And my little family: I have 4 cats and 1 dog. All rescues, and my most recent adopted kitty is Sweetie - I rescued her from the cat colony I care for! Sheās a one-eyed, polydactyl runt that Iām in love with!
Donāt hesitate to reach out with any questions. Iām friendly, easy to get along with, and love talking about animals all the time lol! Thanks again for considering me as your sitter.

Learn More About Carlos
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
At the very least Iāve officially cat/house sit for the last 10 years consistently. But I imagine I have well over 15-20 plus years total experience cat sitting someone elseās family members.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
All of it. Meeting new people, making new cat friends, the connections, the networkingā¦Animal advocacy is my life. I love helping animals and their parents feel safe and secure when theyāre away from each other. And TONS of updates, pics and vids!! šš
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Donāt ever settle! Ask the tough questions, do due diligence; I think sitters should be open to communication and feedback to allow the best experience.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I love meeting new parents and hearing about the personalities of their cats, likes/dislikes, routine, etcā¦ I love communicating well, and getting the instructions and details accurate. Iāve been in their shoes before and want to go out of my way to make the cat parent as comfortable as possible.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I always practice proper inspections and contagion control. Meaning, I inspect the area to make sure nothing was left out inadvertently, I make sure there is no plants, cleaning products, etc., or anything that could be deemed toxic. I verify I have proper contact information for the cat parents, the emergency contacts, and Vet/ER.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I am available nearly all holidays. Also available during summer vacations, spring break, extended stays, transports, check ins, and overnights.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Patience!!! I love my shy kitties, I have two of my own. I know to give them their space, soft, calm, voices, and no sudden movements. If theyāre like my Chi kitties and have their own little hiding spots, I leave them be and donāt invade their space so they remain feeling comfortable and safe while Iām there. And usually if I handle one of their toys and then just leave it on the ground near them, sometimes they can associate my scent with a happy familiar object (toy).

If you are looking for a cat sitter in SLC, Carlos is the best choice. He treated our cats like one of his own, took care of their medications, and gave them ample love. Each visit, he would send pictures, videos, and updates for us. This was our visit time traveling since our elder cat has required more help, Carlos put all that anxiety to rest. We will be booking with him in the future, and I encourage you to trust him with your cats!

Carlos is the cat whisperer! When he comes to our house, all the animals come running to see him. Heās incredibly friendly and gentle with our cats. He has cared for our indoor and community cats numerous times. There are very few people that we trust with the care of our animals, but Carlos is on that short list. He also volunteers his free time to care for community cats in our area, giving them a better situation. He has a gentle heart and has taken in many animals over the years.

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.
Salt Lake City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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!
