I'm Carrie

Cat Sitting in Milwaukee, WI

I’m a life long single cat lady, who believes that time spent with felines is never wasted time. Over the last 30 years I’ve been owned by or co-cared for 18 cats and am currently the proud mom of 2 furbabies. I am deeply committed to the needs and comfort of any cat in my care, and I sometimes think I’d rather spend all my free time with them.

Over the last 30 years I’ve been owned by or co-cared for 18 cats and am currently the proud mom of 2 furbabies. I am deeply committed to the needs and comfort of any cat in my care, and I sometimes think I’d rather spend all my free time with them. Since all my cats are lifetime commitments and illnesses and conditions arise, I have become adept at many different at home medical procedures for them. My vet has said numerous times that myself and my immediate family are some of her favorite pet owners. And 4 of my previous cats were entrusted to myself and my parents by her. I also have a great deal of availability, especially mornings to midafternoon. I follow instructions and would treat every cat like my own.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love the idea of having interactions with cats other than my own, selfishly this might also satisfy my desire to acquire more. All cats are naturally interesting and each is a unique personality and the opportunity to get to know those personalities is a delightful opportunity.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I watched my parents cats every summer when they went on their vacation. I remember vividly one night when I got three of the cats chasing me around the middle of the house with a feather on a fishing pole. It’s the little interactions that can make the best memories.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I’m currently down to 2, this is the least number of cats I’ve had in my life since around 2000. I have a tiny longhaired B&W girl named Seven and a giant mackerel tabby boy named Mister. I’m always happy to get home and see them

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

Will ensure doors/windows are not left open and are locked when leaving. Ask the owner if they have an escape artist who wants to get out so I can be prepared when entering. Will make sure there is nothing accessible to pets that might harm them, like making sure any cleaning supplies are out of reach. I also know small objects and loose strings can pose threats. I have a very observant nature and I’m always studying my surroundings.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Every holiday except Valentines and New Year’s Eve. I am a server and those are mandatory holidays that we are required to work. New Year’s Day I’m usually not able to make it out of the house until after 2pm. But every other holiday is free.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I really have 3 with two sometimes combined. Love sparkle balls, my vet(she is a traveling vet)often uses them to lure the reluctant patients out from under things. My cats go nuts for a sparkle ball. I love fishing rods and really love when there is a sparkle ball on the line. Lastly I have a family friend who makes the most amazing catnip toys and crinkle toys.

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

Slow approach, calming tone, singing softly, presenting the back of an open hand and letting the cat dictate the interaction. In extreme cases I will often use the owners pillow or present my glasses to be sniffed(I learned that from Jackson Galaxy)

Carrots was great!! She proactively kept me up to date, sharing things, even customized photos. She had flexibility and helped me modify my reservation when weather streamed me in Miami due to multiple storms. I really felt my cats were well cared for and I was card for. I highly recommend Carrie.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Carrie. She is such a caring and thoughtful cat sitter. From the moment we left for our vacation, she made us feel completely at ease by sending daily updates and photos of Sherman. Seeing his happy face each day allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. What impressed us most was how much she genuinely cared, not just for Sherman, but for our home as well. She regularly checked in to see if there was anything else that needed attention, from taking out the trash to watering plants and keeping an eye on things while we were away. Those little gestures meant so much and showed how dedicated she is. Most importantly, Sherman received love, attention, and companionship every day. It’s obvious she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for, and when we came home, he was content, relaxed, and clearly had been very well looked after. Knowing that both our cat and our home were in such capable and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind. We would gladly trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets as if they were her own.

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.

Milwaukee cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
