Jersey City dog Mac dies after mysteriously disappearing with sitter

A Jersey City man was “living a nightmare” as he searched for days for his beloved pooch who mysteriously vanished with a dog-sitter — only to get a call from a vet that the dog died while supposedly in the woman’s care.

Diego Chaves said he had left his mini Goldendoodle, Mac, with a woman whom he believed to be a professional sitter named Alyssa outside of a high-rise in Jersey City on Friday morning. “In the beginning, everything was great with the sitter. She sent us pictures, gave us updates. And it really took a turn Monday morning,” Chaves told News12.
