Modern Studio in Historic Downtown Jersey City-minutes from Manhattan
Introduction
I am a retired teacher who loves to travel and spend time with my family. I moved to Jersey City from Texas almost a year ago and love how walkable it is here. My two grown daughters live in Manhattan and Jersey City. They will be available to help troubleshoot if any problems arise while you are here. I have two small dogs and a cat. My pets mean the world to me and I am happy that they can stay at home where they are most comfortable! One of my dogs is a recently adopted rescue, and while she is now fully house-trained and leash trained she will need a little extra patience. *I WOULD PREFER SITTERS TO BE FULLY VACCINATED FOR COVID.
Show more...Home & location
I live in a studio apartment in Jersey City. I have a Murphy bed which helps make the most out of the space. There is a fully functioning kitchen and even a desk area if you need to work from home. A washer and dryer are also in my unit. My apartment is in an excellent location! I walk everywhere! There are several coffee shops and places to eat minutes from the apartment. The PATH station is a short walk away at Newark and Grove. Take it to the World Trade Center to see the 911 Memorial as well as explore the Financial District of Manhattan. From the WTC walk to Fulton Station and you can catch a subway to anywhere in NYC. You can also walk to the ferry, in the Paulus Hook neighborhood. It is only $7 to ride over the Manhattan. The Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza is an easy 11 minute walk and has lots of dining and shopping opportunities.

*Walk Betsy and Peaches at least 3 times per day. I walk them in the morning when we wake up. I usually take her again around 1 or 2:00, then an evening walk before bedtime. The times can be adjusted and you can add more walks if you want. They love walking in the city! If you are going out for the day to explore the city, just put a pad down for them in the bathroom. *Feed dog and cat twice per day *Give fresh water once per day *Clean litter box daily *Clean up after any pet accidents *Water plants as directed. I will let you know if I need you to water them during your stay. All the pets sleep with me at night. No crates!

Loved sitting for Dolores! Beautiful, clean/minimalist place, near parks and coffeeshops, about a 10-12 min walk to path. Her pets were sweet and fun - Betsy may be small but spunky with a big presence. Peaches and Mr. Perkins are very laid back and sweet. I had a great time and would highly recommend.

I had a wonderful stay at Dolores’s place taking care of her 2 lovely pups, and her cat (who might be the coolest cat I’ve ever met). Dolores made it super easy for me with all the info she provided for accessing her place and taking care of the pets. Also her place is nice and clean, in a great area, and not too far from the train that will take you into the city so I highly recommend if you get the opportunity to sit for her to take it!

Taking care of Betsy, Eliot and Mr. Perkins was awesome! They are all lovely, specially Betsy as she is the youngest ♡ Dolores's apartment is tiny and cozy and you will find there all you need for your stay and the neighborhood is beautiful too with a lot of sightseeing and typical brick buildings and awesome Manhattan views! Dolores was really nice with us, we were in touch all the time and she was really helpful. We would be glad to come back anytime!

Dolores's pets quickly made friends with us. They were super sweet and easy to care for. Her home is very comfortable and in a great location when visiting area around Fort Worth.

Overall easy sit, the dogs are very lovable and always want to be around you. It was a joy to have company out on the backyard by Betsey. Elliott main stays in his bed and as for Mr. Perkins stay on the couch. Betsy is the most interactive fur babies and a joy to always have around.
