ICYMI โ Alyssa Tognetti marketed herself as a dogsitter in Jersey City, and has been involved in several situations where dogs were neglected, returned late, or โthis timeโ went missing. According to Alyssa’s message to the owners, their dog Mac had run out of her car somewhere in Jersey City. She didn’t inform them until a day after the incident. Mac later ended up at a vet’s office, and the owners were notified to retrieve the dog. Once the owners arrived, they were told Mac had passed away. While there are no further details regarding Mac’s health or his return, we are respecting the family during their loss at this time.
The community is heartbroken by the recent news of Mac’s passing. This is a story terrifying for any pet owner who puts their trust into petsitters, especially through apps like Rover. We asked our readers for their tried and true pet care professionals in Hudson County, and we’d like to take this time to share these trusted petsitters with everyone to ensure a safe experience for all pets.

Donโt forget Alexander from @GGWalks! Alexander walked my dog for 2 years and he is the most amazing, reliable, kind and wonderful human on the planet! His company needs to be on this list!
We recommend adding @paigeypie87. Shes amazing with our baby. We flew her to Los Angeles to watch our pit. She is hands down the best pet sitter we ever had.
A little hurt that I wasnโt mentioned here but Iโm glad people are getting recognized for their hard work. Thanks for the article. My IG name is Petcare.Extraordinaire
Ha. Jeremy Martin, I wasnโt mentioned either. I do business as Animal Auntie.
Neither were a lot of colleagues who work in the Heights.
It looks like part of the criteria was having an Instagram account.
Although being featured in an article like this would have been nice; hard work and good service will pay off. There was a time I was unknown. Now when people ask about a dog walker or pet sitter on a local group; I am the first one mentioned. If you are
relatively new your time will come.
