Availability
Josh and I come as a bonded pair. You’ll be communicating with me, but behind the scenes, I am coordinating to make sure that all your needs are understood by the two of us. We both have "jobs" in the city: I am currently a grad student, working on my MS at Weill Cornell and Josh is on a hybrid schedule out of an office in Midtown, but does WFH a majority of the week. I am home if I am not in class! There are times during the work week that neither of us are home, so pets do need to be comfortable home alone for a couple hours (no more than four hours!). As for weekends, we are primarily home bodies and are happy to work our personal plans around your booking.

Safety, trust & environment
Located near downtown Jersey City, we live in a spacious 1B apartment above the Grove Street PATH station (on the Starbucks side). We do not have any other pets of our own and only take one client at a time (2 pets per client max). With living in a high rise, we take elevators with other dogs/people or are in hallways with other dogs/people. If your dog is reactive, we have alternate routes (stairs). Pets are allowed on all our furniture (bed, couch). We do ask that pets are house trained, but they do not have to be crate trained. We do not have a balcony or a fenced yard. We have an exposed pantry, shoes are out in a shoe rack, some open trash cans, and a few stuffed animals in the apartment, so if those are triggers for your pet, we can easily move stuff around/put stuff away.

Information Kaitlyn & Joshua C. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know any health issues, pet personality, and what their day looks like so can do our best to not deviate from your routine while you’re away. Each family is different, so we don’t expect what will work for one client will work for you. Our apartment is located near a maintenance closet that is accessed throughout the day (even odd hours early in the morning) and faces the street. If your pet is extremely reactive to noises coming from outside their space, please consider booking with someone else since we cannot control our environment to that level and want to be considerate of our neighbors. Thank you for understanding! Prior to booking, we would love to arrange a meet and greet with you and your pet(s) to learn where we fit in your daily schedules. Talk soon!
A typical day
We will treat your pets as our own! These are your family members that we are more than happy to add to our small family of two while you are away. Each pet has their own personality: I’ve had dogs that will walk for three hours and others that want nothing to do with being outside. You know your pet best, and we will do everything we can in alignment to what their needs are. If your pet is good with other dogs and we get the go ahead from you, we enjoy taking them to the nearby dog parks (Hamilton and the one on Bay are our favorites) or taking them for strolls along the Hudson and stopping into dog-friendly coffee shops. We also will play with them at home, give them cuddles (if they’re a cuddler), and take naps with them on the couch.

Kaitlyn & Joshua C. have Star Sitter status
The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.
Treating your pet(s) like ours!
Pet care experience
Two for the price of one! Instead of one sitter, you get two who share responsibility, making us more flexible and able to give your furry friend more attention than a single sitter. I (Kaitlyn) have been a pet sitter since I was in high school. Friends, family, friends of friends, colleagues, etc. have entrusted me to watch their furry friends. I’ve pet sat everything from dogs to porcupines to chickens, and Josh and I recently added a pig to our client list. I grew up with dogs (Pekingese, Husky, and Golden Retriever, not all at the same time), and Josh grew up having both cats and dogs. His parents continue to foster cats to this day!
Reviews
Kaitlyn & Josh are so lovely and our dog loves staying with them! We will continue using their boarding services and recommend them highly :)
Kaitlyn and Josh are the best! Such great communicators and they took such great care of our pup! We highly recommend their services!
Kaitlyn and Joshua were wonderful pet sitters! They were kind, thoughtful, and responsive throughout the boarding experience. I would absolutely recommend them to others looking to board their dogs.
100% recommend Kaitlyn & Josh for your boarding needs! They watched our golden retriever for a week while we were away and we felt like he was at a family members house with how happy and comfortable they made him! We received so many updates as well that gave us piece of mind. We will definitely be booking again!
