From 2017 to 2019, Carr played in the Women's Twenty20 Cup for Middlesex, and was part of their side that won the tournament in 2018.[9] In February 2020, it was announced that Carr was joining Middlesex from Devon in both formats.[1] She scored 45 runs in four matches for the side in the 2021 Women's Twenty20 Cup.[10]

Carr was also part of the Western Storm squad for every season of the Women's Cricket Super League, from 2016 to 2019, but did not play a match.[4] In 2020, she joined Sunrisers for the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, and was subsequently named as captain of the side.[11] Whilst her side finished bottom of the South Group, Carr hit 99 in a match against South East Stars.[12] In December 2020, it was announced that Carr was one of the 41 female cricketers that had signed a full-time domestic contract.[13] She played eight matches for the side in 2021, across the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the Charlotte Edwards Cup, with a top score of 25, missing parts of the season due to injury.[14][15][16] She also played five matches for London Spirit in The Hundred, scoring 19 runs and making two stumpings.[17] She played six matches for Sunrisers in 2022, across the Charlotte Edwards Cup and the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, scoring 129 runs.[18][19] She also played one match for London Spirit in The Hundred.[20]
