Home & location

This 2 bedroom, 2-floor townhouse is located above a flower shop in Jersey City - only a 5 minute walk to the Grove Steet PATH train and 20 minutes into downtown Manhattan. The townhouse is located on a tree-lined street just a half block away from Newark ave, a main street with bars and restaurants. The Freedom Tower is viewable through the windows. The bedroom is large with a queen-sized bed. The second bedroom has a Peloton available for use as well as a desk for you to work remotely. There is a washer/dryer in-unit as well as a dishwasher. You have free rein over the living room devices and kitchen appliances. There is a small roof space to sit outdoors if you'd like some fresh air.

Responsibilities

My cat gets fed a can of cat food once in the am and once in the pm. She is very easy to care for and loves love. Our puppy is 1 year old and a lovable/ very energetic nugget. He is 55 pounds and VERY VERY high energy so if you are looking for a housesit that allows you to leave for long stretches of time, this isn’t for you. Concurrently, he can sometimes pull a bit on the leash so if you are not physically equipped to handle a large dog, this sit isn't for you. He is fed 2x per day and needs a solid hour walk in the am and pm and short walks every 4-6 hours. He also sleeps and bed and is all love and play - no aggression.

My stay with Cleo and Oni was both very sweet and very tiring. Cleo is a sweetie and very low key. Oni is a big puppy who needs a ton of physical interaction almost every other hour in order to feel comfortable which made relaxing or doing other things at times difficult. But Laura was amazingly responsive, understanding and set up doggy care support right away which made all the difference. Then it was a lovely sit. I’d say if you have lots of energy, time to exercise and experience with big dogs this is a fabulous sit. If you are newer to large dogs or going to be busy while there this may be a challenging sit. Location is lovely!

We really enjoyed sitting for Oni and Cleo, they are such an amazing pets and Laura is an excellent host, she was really nice to us and made us feel so comfortable. Laura’s house is beautiful and has a great location, the area is really nice, we could walk everywhere around and enjoyed the incredible Jersey City. We highly recommend this sit.

To say I was blown away by Tania is the biggest understatement of the century. Not only was she flexible when I had to adjust our travel plans last minute, she also spent 10 full days leash training our new puppy. It's a night and day difference with behavior. I feel like I won the TH lottery. 10/10 no notes. Would highly recommend.
