I'm Dorcena | Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
Hello fellow cat parents! My name is Dorcena, but my friends call me Nena. Growing up, I always had a special connection to cats, and now I'm the girl who is obsessed with yours! I have been caring for cats over the last 10 years and have cared for cats along the full spectrum- kittens to seniors, friendly to spicy, healthy to special needs. I am active in animal rescue, specifically fostering kittens and local TNR efforts. I'm well-versed in animal behavior and know when to respect their boundaries. I always offer playtime and stimulation during our reservation. I can administer topical and oral medications and am very willing to learn other techniques needed to care for them. Their safety an...

Kristine
Dorcena was wonderful! She charmed my cat who craves attention but can be shy and devoted a lot of time to her, as well as giving great updates. Both cats were relaxed when I got home. I’ll definitely see if she’s available when I need to travel again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Philadelphia cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
