Carpets + wheels = office furniture. Try a major office supply outlet.
If that doesn't work out, get a piece of hardboard such as masonite, cut it to cover the carpeted area you need to move around on, and pop a wheelie!
Personally, I don't like carpet because it attracts and holds dust, dirt, insects and odors, hides tiny N-scale parts and cannot be thoroughly cleaned in corners and along the junction with baseboards, especially under a layout, where vacuum cleaners don't easily go. It is also toxic in a fire. If I need cushioning along the part I walk on, A carpet runner can do that, or any number of rubbery, cushion commercial products made for the purpose...or, I buy a pair of cushiony shoes.
Just my opinion.
