I had a troubling experience with Victoria that I feel is necessary to share because I believe it’s important for others in this community to be aware of what happened.   Victoria informed me she was leaving day 6 into an 18 day stay with a little more than 12 hours notice while I was 600 miles away with no backup plan for our dog Jackson.    The first few days with Jackson went well. She communicated when I reached out along with pictures of them laying together on the couch and getting along very well.  On day 6 she texted me to say Jackson had growled at her while physically trying to get him up from laying on her.  She said she was frightened and asked if I had anyone else that could watch him.   I immediately called her to try to understand what happened and explained that he was most likely startled rather than wanting to attack her. As I was asking questions about the incident, as I felt I had a right to do, she became extremely defensive and yelled at me on the phone. Admittedly my voice was heightened due to panic but I did not yell. I was simply trying to understand the extreme change in her demeanor from previously texting me she doesn’t easily get flustered, stressed or live in fear to being so frightened she wanted to leave. Knowing my questions upset her I apologized however after ending our call she immediately texted and said she was leaving at 10am.   Despite repeatedly telling her that my son, who lives nearby, was out of town, and that I had no other options, she showed no consideration for my situation. Her decision to simply leave our dog stranded was incredibly distressing. I had to cancel my evening plans to find alternate arrangements for the remainder of our trip, which, happens to be my other son’s wedding.   While there are other details that aren’t directly related to her pet-sitting duties, I believe it’s important to highlight the lack of professionalism and consideration she showed. I hope this review helps others make an informed decision through my experience.

Marion was the perfect host!
She open her house for my first sitting and I felt at home. 

Marion was super thoughtfull which made confortable right away from my arrival and during all my stay. She left very clear instructions and shared some tips of cool things to see and do in the surrounding area. 
Her apartment was perfect, fully equipped, clean, well localized, and with easy access to the subway.

Squinty is adorable. As a cat, independent, but loves to be around and to cuddle up. He is friendly, easy to deal and low maintenance. 

Thank you, Marion for having me, it was really a wonderful experience. 
I would totally house sit for Marion and Squinty again, everytime!

My time in Finestrat at Peter and Kini's casita was... awesome? The place is everything I could dream of: nestled in the midst of nature, amazingly quiet, super comfortable... just great! But the best thing was meeting two fantastic persons and two fantastic creatures. 

The persons, of course, are Peter and Kini, who were extremely friendly, easy-going, gentle, and sweet at my arrival (I was sorry to actually see them go!). The two creatures, of course, Yelka and Pushkin. Pushkin is an adorable, independent cat with a strong personality who can also be very sweet and great company. Yelka... there is a lot to say about her. The depth of friendship we developed during my time there is unparalleled to any other dog I may have known. She's indescribably gentle, sweet, respectful, obedient, and loving. After two weeks, I still think of her every morning when I wake up and remember how great was to start the day seeing her happily move her tail, opening the door to see her walk and jump around, and feel the clean, morning breeze of the mountains. 

I couldn't be happier with my experience in Finestrat and I can't wait to get another chance to be there again...

This was EASILY one of our favorite sits! Tayto is the sweetest cutest cat, who loves to snuggle by your side! There was really never a dull moment here and Tayto was the star of the show.  He's super easy to care for and so fun to play with! Victoria and Joss's apartment is centrally located (minutes to Manhattan!), super clean, and they are amazing and understanding hosts! I really appreciated their flexibility. This sit was absolutely seamless! Communication was excellent and we'd happily return anytime our schedule allows!!! Highly recommend this sit!
