Cat sitting in Jersey City - easy access to NYC

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!

Ernest is such a cute grouchy little man haha. He is very sweet, and is very serious with his food. He is a very vocal cat, so prepared to have someone welcome you when you come home everyday ;) Sanhita and her family live in such a beautiful part of Jersey City by Grove street. I got the chance to see the cherry blossoms on the street when I got there. Very accessible to New York if need be and from the airport. Sanhita was a super attentive host and answered any questions I had. I had such a wonderful time in New Jersey with Ernest and I would highly recommend anyone considering this sit!

I had a comfortable stay at Sanhita’s place and a lovely time with Ernest (the cat). Sanhita was responsive and clear on instructions in taking care of Ernest and the house. She also made taking care of Earnest easy with an automatic feeder and Litter Genie. Ernest was a smart, cuddly, and talkative cat who liked treats, attention, and petting. He would welcome you home and ask you for things he needed actively. Taking care of Ernest was a great pleasure for me :)

I had a lovely time sitting for Sanhita. Her home is located in a very trendy area of the city, with restaurants, cafes, and groceries all within walking distance. Ernest (the cat) was adorable. He and I made fast friends and cuddled a lot. He talks a lot, too. LOL! Sanhita was welcoming & communicative, and I felt comfortable in her home. I definitely recommend sitting for her.

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!!
