I'm Elizabeth
Cat Sitting in Gastonia, NC
I am comfort... All cats deserve love and care and you’ll receive the best of both from me! I’m Betsy and I’m an experienced cat owner and sitter. My own cats- Rascal, Ripley, Regina George and Cookie- were strays that now have a safe home with me. I have experience with Savannah cats and kittens.
I am comfortable with older cats as well. I tend to let the cat decide what they want- snuggles, play time, attention or to be left alone. I strive to provide a clean and safe environment for your furry baby!
I know you’ll find that I can provide the care for your feline(s) that you’re looking for with me!
Learn More About Elizabeth
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a tuxedo domestic shorthair names Rascal. He is exactly that! He’s playful and curious and loves to snuggle. I have a grey striped domestic shorthair named Ripley- she is super lovey. I also took in a pregnant mama cat in Feb ‘25 and she has stayed with one of her kittens that I could not find a home for. Her name is Regina George and she does not like to be touched but she loves to groom and play with Rascal. Her kittens name is Cookie and he is a ball of energy! He and Ripley will snuggle up and groom each other; Rascal is his wrestling buddy.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I’d like to find out what their normal schedule/routine looks like and mimic that to the best of my ability. Cats shouldn’t have to change their routine. We want to keep it consistent for them so we don’t cause any anxiety.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I find it is best to let the cat come to me. I don’t mind using treats or a toy if I specifically need the cat (perhaps to administer medication), but if the cat wants to be alone, I don’t want to force it. They will come to me when they’re ready. I am patient with them.

She was amazing and you could really tell that she was a loving cat person. It made me feel good to know our babies were in her hands! I loved being able to have a meet and greet before her visits where she got to see the cats and could get the lay of where all their supplies were, the instructions, and to try and get some sniffs in so they could get acquainted. We got daily videos and photos during her drop-ins. You can feel good knowing Elizabeth (Betsy) took care of my babies while we were gone!

Elizabeth did a great job staying the night with my two kitties, including giving one of them an inhaler two times! She was on time for all of our meet ups (meet and greet and key hand off) and really easy to work with!

Elizabeth was wonderful with my two kitties! She was even able to win over my very shy cat pretty quickly. I didn’t feel worried about my cats while I was away since I knew they were in good hands! I also loved that she provided lots of updates with pictures and videos of the kitties.

Betsy recently watched my fur baby while I was away for a long vacation! I’m always sad/nervous to leave my kitty, but after meeting Betsy and going over instructions, I felt super at ease. She sent me updates every single day and I could tell he was still such a happy boy!! I highly recommend Betsy and her services if you need someone who will go above and beyond for your kitty!

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.
Gastonia cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

Elizabeth took wonderful care of our cat, Neo, over the last two weeks while we were away. She not only made sure he was well-fed and cared for, but also spent time playing with him and keeping him happy. We really appreciated the regular updates she shared ; it gave us great peace of mind knowing Neo was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

Elizabeth was great! My cat Biscuit loved her. Elizabeth sent me cute videos of her loving on Biscuit. My boy Ginger hid when Elizabeth came, like he normally does with strangers. I’d definitely book her again.

Elizabeth was very responsive and helpful! I felt so good leaving my kitties in her care. She was also able to do a few “extra” things for me when I needed (fill my diffuser, check my auto feeders, vacuumed up litter areas, etc)

Betsy was amazing! She stayed over a holiday weekend to look after my not-so-social kitty. She sent pics and updates and I really felt like my cat was in good hands. I came back to a happy cat and will be using Betsy again.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with Elizabeth!! from the warmest Meet and greet to sending updates about my kitty while I was away: Elizabeth did an excellent job! She’s very professional, kind, responsible and truly cares about what needs to be done when the owner is absent. I couldn’t recommend her enough! thank you Elizabeth!!

Elizabeth is amazing! She has always been my go to for sitting. She is great at keeping me in the loop and ensuring while I am away I know exactly what is going on. She gives me helpful information as well as the fun silly updates. She is a solid person and even in stressful situations I know that I can count on her to be calm and handle what needs to be handled. Cannot recommend enough.
