During her junior career, McCarville competed at four Canadian Junior Curling Championships for Team Northern Ontario, skipping three times (2000, 2001, and 2002), and playing second once (1998). Throughout her women's career, McCarville has competed in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the Canadian women's national curling championships, ten times, all as a skip. Before 2015, Northern Ontario did not compete at the Tournament of Hearts separately from Ontario; McCarville represented Ontario four times at the championships (2006, 2007, 2009, and 2010), winning bronze in 2010. She has skipped the Northern Ontario team six times (2016, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023), winning silver in 2016 and 2022. She has also competed in three Canadian Olympic Curling Trials, finishing in third place twice (2009 and 2021) and fifth place once (2017).

McCarville and her rink are known for doing well at major tournaments such as the Scotties and Olympic Trials, despite not playing many tour events. Their team mission has been to be the "best 'amateur' team in the World".
