Our condo is on the fourth floor of a brownstone in Jersey City, about seven minutes' walk from the bars and restaurants at Grove St. as well as the Grove St. PATH station to New York. You will have access to a bedroom, bathroom, and spacious, open plan living room / kitchen/ dining area. We have a washer / dryer unit in unit. You will also have access to our private roof deck, fully furnished with lounge seating and an additional dining table, that offers brilliant views of New York and Jersey City, especially at night.

COMPANY - Ernest is a very cuddly cat! We are hoping for someone loving and affectionate who will let him sleep on their lap and keep him company while we're away. He yowls a lot, sometimes because he wants more food but often just because he wants some attention! FOOD - Please refill his bowls with kibble and fresh water when they run low. Please also give him canned wet food every other day. LITTER - His litter needs changing every three days. We use a pretty fancy litter that doesn't smell and absorbs urine, so please just scoop the poop into the Genie storage container next to the box and stir the remaining litter around. (You shouldn't need to change the litter during your stay.) PLANTS - We have some plants on the balcony that need to be watered every day, especially when it's hot out, unless it rains. If you can assist, we would appreciate it!

Sitting for Sanhita was very nice! Ernest is very lovely and cuddly. We had some amazing days at Sanhitas place with Ernest. The location is perfect because the PATH is just a 10 min walk away. The rooftop was amazing! We can definitely recommend sitting for Sanhita!

Our house-sitting experience in Jersey City was wonderful. Despite arriving very late after our flight into Newark, the Uber ride to the house was only 20 minutes. When we unlocked the door, we were greeted by a warm meow. Ernest the cat was friendly from the first minute, and we quickly became best friends with him. The maisonette flat was brand new and well-equipped. They even have a high-tech toaster that makes the bread the color you like. The tap water is filtered. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, with easy access to grocery stores around. We had a great time exploring Jersey City and even took a few trips into Manhattan, which isn't too far away, especially when you catch the PATH train just a 7-minute walk away. Ernest was an absolute joy to care for. He was heartwarming, enjoyed hanging out with us, stayed where we were, and made us feel right at home. We also really enjoyed almost every evening the awesome rooftop view. The contact with Sanhita and Ilya were always easy and they provided clear instructions from the beginning. Overall, this was a fantastic house-sitting experience, and we would always happily return and take care of Ernest again.

We had a great time at Sanhita's place. Her communication was always clear and prompt, and Ernest the cat completely won us over. Logistics picking up keys from the front desk were simple, and we appreciated the chance to get to know Jersey City. Such an easy zip into Manhattan!

We had the best experience at Sanhita’s place! Ernest is the cutest most cuddliest Cat. So warm and friendly, always wanting some love and very low key. Sanhita was a great communicator the entirety of the sit and the neighborhood was fantastic. So close to Manhattan and a beautiful walkable part of Jersey city. Amazing amenities and super comfy

Ernest is such a sweetheart!! He was friendly and affectionate basically immediately. He spent literal hours next to me purring during my stay. You will fall in love with him! Sanhita was super-responsive via text, friendly, gracious, and easy to communicate with! The apartment is full of light and comfortable, with everything you need. It's very well-located, too -- only a few blocks from the PATH. All in all, a wonderful stay! Highly recommend.

Maia was excellent! She sent us regular photos and videos of Ernest along with other updates and just generally was so pleasant and easy to work with. She quickly figured out the little things that Ernest enjoyed and really took great care of him. Would definitely invite back!!
