Highlights
Pet care experience
Treating your pet(s) like ours!
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!

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Kaitlyn was great! She took excellent care of our cats and was extremely responsive throughout!
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!
Kaitlyn and Josh were so great with my rescue pup, Scout! Scout is shy around men and Josh was so patient letting Scout get comfortable with him and by the end of the trip they were besties. Both Kaitlyn and Josh were super communicative before and during the boarding and sent lots of updates and pictures. We will certainly be boarding with them again and highly recommend them!

Schedule
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.
