Cat sitting in Jersey City - easy access to NYC
Introduction
Hello! I am a lawyer and live with my husband Ilya and our cat Ernest (aka Ernito Bandito) in a 1-bedroom high-rise in Jersey City, NJ. We LOVE animals but also travel a lot. Hope to welcome you to our home!

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!

My stay with Ernest was absolutely fantastic. He's charming and sweet and the best company. Sanhita's home is very comfortable and welcoming and the location is absolutely brilliant. Communication was a breeze and I'd love to pet sit for Ernest again any time.

Pet sitting Ernest was great! He’s just a big cuddly boy who wants attention when he isn’t napping. Taking care of him was very easy and the location can’t be beat in Jersey City. You are close to some of the best restaurants in JC and a ten minute walk to the PATH station to get into Manhattan. The apartment was nice, the was bed comfy and had everything I needed in it for my stay!

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!!
