Hi, I’m Carolyn, the heart behind PurrSit and those cute kitties above are Thomas and Fili, my home crew. As a lifelong cat enthusiast, I understand that your feline friends are more than pets—they’re family. My mission is to provide them with the same love and care they receive from you.

With over 15 years of professional experience in cat care, I offer personalized services tailored to each kitty’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some good old-fashioned chin scratches, I’m here to ensure your cat feels comfortable and cherished while you’re away.

Serving the Norfolk, VA area as the first cats-only pet sitter in the southside, I’m committed to building trust with both you and your cat. Let’s make sure your furry companion is happy, healthy, and purring until your return.

As a cat-only owner, I understand.

    • Your food prep? Not weird at all. I’ve seen it all, and I’m here for it.

    • I’m experienced with hospice care and honored to support families through tender times.

    • Need a demo for fluids or meds? Free of charge. Always.

    • I believe an informed client is a relaxed client, so I keep everything transparent and easy to access.

    • I bring the fun—from feather wands to catnip toys, there’s always something in my bag of tricks.

    • Litter boxes? Scooped. Every visit, every time.

    • I check in with mom and/or dad after each visit, so you’re never left wondering how things went.

    • And yes—I’m a bit of a cat paparazzi, so expect some adorable snapshots of your furry family!

🐾 My Core Values

Compassion First
Every kitty I care for is treated with the same love, patience, and gentleness I give my own fur family.

Trust and Transparency
Your home, your pets, your rules. I value clear communication and reliable service you can count on.

Joy in the Details
Whether it’s a favorite brush or that quirky nap spot, I pay attention to what makes your cat happiest.

Inclusive and Respectful
I warmly welcome clients of all backgrounds, identities, and family structures. PurrSit is a judgment-free zone where kindness always comes first.

🌈 Diversity Makes Our Hearts Purr
At PurrSit, love comes in every color, shape, and stripe. Whether you’re LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, part of a blended family, or rocking your own unique sparkle—I’m so glad you’re here. This is a judgment-free zone where every human (and every furball) is treated with warmth, respect, and a whole lot of heart.
