I'm Dorcena | Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

I am active in animal rescue, specifically with fostering kittens through PAWS and other smaller foster organizations. I build strong connections and love for any animals in my care. I provide tons of pictures, updates, and am very communicative. While I love all animals, I am the neighborhood cat lady and have been since I first started petting stray cats as a little girl.

Nena went above and beyond taking care of my senior cat. She will be my first choice next time I need a sitter.
Caitlin
Dorcena was fantastic and took great care of Frank! She spent extra time with him and gave him lots of love and affection and provided great updates. I really recommend and will definitely have her look after Frank again!
Julia
Dorcena is the best Meowtel sitter I have had!! She gave me updates everyday, made sure my cats didn't destroy my apartment, and also spent ample time meeting my kitties before and playing with them during the visit. Dorcena went above and beyond caring for my kitties. She it's truly the kindest most caring sitter 😊 I would 100% recommend her!!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
