Cat Sitting in Bronx, NY

BETH PETZ
Intuitive, Observant, Emotionally Intelligent Cat Care


ABOUT ME

My name is Elizabeth, and I offer cat care rooted in intuition, emotional intelligence, and a calm, grounded presence.

With over a decade of experience, I support cats of all temperaments by meeting them exactly where they are whether playful, independent, shy, or silently observant. I never force interaction. I create space for trust to unfold naturally, on the cat’s terms.

Cats speak in subtle language: energy, rhythm, stillness. I pay close attention to their emotional cues, body language, and state of being. My background in art, beauty, and design refined through my studies at FIT sharpened my eye for detail and sensitivity. These qualities now define my approach to care: composed, present, and deeply intuitive.

Every visit is steady, respectful, and aligned with your cat’s natural rhythm.

INTUITIVE & ENERGETIC CARE

I tune into each cat’s emotional landscape whether they’re overstimulated, quietly watching, seeking connection, or needing space...

These qualities now define my approach to care: composed, present, and deeply intuitive.

Every visit is steady, respectful, and aligned with your cat’s natural rhythm.

INTUITIVE & ENERGETIC CARE

I tune into each cat’s emotional landscape whether they’re overstimulated, quietly watching, seeking connection, or needing space. I read their nervous system cues through breath, posture, and subtle movement, offering grounded presence without intrusion or pressure.

My presence helps:
• Ease emotional tension
• Regulate overstimulated nervous systems
• Reduce overwhelm
• Build a felt sense of calm, trust, and safety

This energetic foundation is the heart of my work.

WHAT SETS MY CARE APART
• Intuitive Awareness: I notice what others may overlook micro behaviors, shifting boundaries, emotional cues.
• Grounded Presence: I remain emotionally regulated and steady, which helps cats feel safe.
• Respectful Rhythm: I don’t rush. I don’t treat cats like tasks. I follow their lead.

Your cat’s comfort not the clock guides the visit.

IDEAL CLIENTS

My work resonates most with individuals who value:
• mindful, intentional care
• emotional and energetic intelligence
• spiritually attuned, intuitive support
• professional, respectful communication
• a sitter client dynamic rooted in trust and ease

PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES & TRAVEL AVAILABILITY

To maintain clarity, sustainability, and high standards of care:
• Schedules and care instructions must be finalized before the booking begins
• Communication must remain respectful, clear, and timely
• Your home and personal information are treated with full confidentiality and care

Travel & Service Area
I currently accept bookings within areas accessible via standard MTA transportation (subway or MTA buses).

Before requesting a booking, please confirm that your location can be reached using the MTA.
I do not accept bookings that require non-MTA transit, specialty buses, private transit systems, or additional transportation costs beyond standard MTA fare.

This ensures I can arrive grounded, present, and fully resourced to provide the quality of care your cat deserves.

WORKING WITH ME

Choosing Beth Petz means choosing a caretaker who moves with intention, sensitivity, and soul. I don’t just complete tasks I understand the emotional and energetic layers that shape your cat’s comfort and well-being.

If you’re looking for someone who listens deeply, responds intuitively, and brings a steady presence into your home, I would be honored to care for your cat.

Your time away should feel peaceful.
Your cat should feel safe, seen, and understood.
Your home should remain in respectful, trustworthy hands.

Learn More About Elizabeth

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

With over 10 years of professional experience, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. From energetic kittens to elderly or anxious cats, I’ve developed a gentle, observant approach that helps them feel safe, seen, and comfortable in their own home.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats each have such unique energy I love discovering their personalities and earning their trust. It’s rewarding to build that quiet bond, whether through play, gentle care, or just respectful presence. Every visit feels like a chance to connect.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my favorite experiences was an overnight stay with a shy senior cat who initially hid under the bed. By the second night, she curled up beside me and purred herself to sleep. That moment of trust made it unforgettable.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I don’t currently have pets of my own, but I grew up surrounded by animals. That upbringing gave me deep respect for their needs and a natural instinct for caregiving. I treat every pet in my care with the same love I’d give my own.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

We’ll begin with a meet and greet virtual or in person to go over care needs, routines, and any special instructions. I also take note of key areas like food, litter, and comfort spots to ensure your cat feels secure and your home is respected.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I’m mindful of both the pet and the space. I move calmly, secure doors, follow home protocols, and respect the cat’s boundaries. I also offer treats or soothing sounds to help them feel safe everything is done with care and presence.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I offer holiday care and accept bookings well in advance. If your requested dates aren’t listed, feel free to reach out I’m happy to open up availability when possible.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Laser pointers always get big laughs from me, but I also love feather wands and puzzle toys that bring out their hunting instincts. I match the toy to the cat’s personality for the best engagement.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I never rush them. I give them space, let them approach on their own terms, and use treats or familiar sounds to build trust. Over time, even the shyest cats usually warm up when they feel respected and safe.

Elizabeth is the best! That’s all you need to know, but I shall not gatekeep her glory! Elizabeth just cat sat for me for 10 days (45 min sessions) while I was on vacation in Hawaii, an 11-hour flight from where I live. I had never used a cat sitter before—as in, I have never left my cat Rune alone for more than a DAY, so you can imagine how skeptical and scared I was. I decided to give Meowtel a chance over Rover because I read online that Meowtel vets their cat sitters much more extensively, and I was really nervous at the prospect of allowing a stranger into my home while I was away. I’m SO GLAD I decided to trust my gut and try it, because I truly could not have asked for a better experience than the one I had with Elizabeth. I was so impressed with her. Elizabeth got in contact with me quickly after booking and asked thorough, thoughtful questions leading up to our reservation (and took her OWN notes!). It’s clear to me that she truly cares about what she does, and has extensive experience with cats, because she knows how to interact with them in a way that respects their boundaries and keeps them calm yet curious. She asks all the right questions. She is kind, calm, professional, soft spoken, follows directions to a T, she’s an excellent communicator (she told me every day what time she expected to stop by and provided photos/videos/summaries every single day), and she was so incredibly respectful of my space and things (she left everything exactly as I had it and even asked if I have any house rules and if she should take off her shoes which I thought was so sweet of her). More than experience alone though, I think she truly has a gift with feline friends. My kitty took a liking to her right away, and he normally hides under the bed and doesn’t trust strangers. Not so with Elizabeth - he saw something good in her and bravely came mosying up to her from day 1, and by day 2 he was playing and making biscuits on her! Elizabeth is the kind of person who you can tell just has good cat energy/spirit, and animals can tell too. She even still visited my kitty during a 2-day snowstorm! My flight home was also delayed and there was a possibility I would need to extend my reservation and have her come an extra day, and she said it would be absolutely no problem. I can’t tell you how much that flexibility meant to me, knowing that if need be, I wouldn’t need to book with another stranger for a day or have my kitty get to know somebody else again. She spent every day checking for all the things I asked her to, playing with my kitty, giving him treats, and most of all giving him love, enrichment, and human interaction. I can’t recommend her enough. From one neurotic and overly-attached (but is there really such a thing?) cat mom to another, if you’re reading this, this is exactly who you want - you will not regret booking with Elizabeth one bit. It’s not easy being away from your pets but she will erase all anxiety and you’ll feel so much better knowing that your kitty is in the best care possible in the meantime. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future, and I know my kitty already can’t wait to see her again (I think he is seriously in love)!😻

I cannot say enough how amazing Elizabeth is taking care of my girls! One of my cats, Sassy, was just diagnosed with seizures and had started new medication. There are a few side effects and one is a decrease in appetite. Elizabeth was so insightful and kind when taking care of Sassy and so patient with encouraging her to eat. Her updates are always so thorough and I feel so much better knowing she is taking care of my girls while I'm away.

My cat loves Elizabeth! I’m usually pretty anxious about going out of town because my cat is very particular and wants a lot of attention, but she has such a fun time with Elizabeth, and she’s so relaxed and happy when I get back, so I’m not worried about going out of town anymore. Plus, Elizabeth sends wonderfully detailed updates at every visit, and she’s respectful of our home. Just a great experience all around!

Elizabeth is fantastic! My cat can often get very anxious when I am out of town, but she was so clearly happy and relaxed with Elizabeth, and she had no anxiety at all when we returned from our trip, which is super rare and an amazing reflection of Elizabeth’s care and attention. Elizabeth sent detailed messages and wonderful pictures every visit, which made me feel confident that my cat was in great hands. I’m so happy to have found Elizabeth!

Elizabeth has taken care of my cat a few times now and she’s always been very attentive to her needs! She sends me photos and videos when they spend time together, and always let me know how everything goes. She even goes above and beyond by doing some light cleanup around the house during her last visit prior to my return home.

Elizabeth gave me peace of mind, while I was away from my dear fur baby...Since, I am also a professional cat sitter, I have high standards, and so I was a little nervous hiring a new cat sitter. However, during our meet and greet, she came prepared with questions I hadn't even thought of and wrote care notes on her notebook. Her demeanor was professional and made me feel that she really cares about my cat from our first meet. While I was away, she sent me detailed messages and wonderful pictures and videos of my cat a few times a day. This made me feel at ease and I was able to relax on my trip. She also left my apartment just as clean as I had left it. I would love to work with her again for my future trips!

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.

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!
