Santo Domingo

Patricia is one of the warmest, kindest people we have met. Within a couple of days, she felt like our Mexican aunty. She showed us around & shared so much about life in the Dominican Republic. She’s one of those people you instantly feel comfortable with, and we missed her as soon as she left. Her furry family were all such characters. Nilo, the dog, is full of energy, very protective, and always wanted to be close by. Pippo, the Siamese boss of the house, is completely loyal to Patricia, but when he decided to come over for a bit of affection it felt like a real privilege. Kiku was my little cuddle shadow, always greeting us and curling up beside us. Pancito started off shy but soon became the sweetest kitchen companion. And Maxi… she completely fell in love with me, and of course I fell for her too. They were all so easy to care for, and each had their own way of making us smile every day. The house was beyond comfortable, the area was amazing and super safe. Saying goodbye after a month was much harder than I expected.

What a wonderful sit in Patricia’s beautiful apartment in a very nice area of Santo Domingo. Patricia welcomed us the night before the sit and was very helpful in showing us around and giving us tips before she left. The highlight of course was spending time with 4 amazing cats, Pippo, Maxi, Niku and Panchito. They made our stay so memorable with their different personalities and need for affection, particularly Maxi and Niku who would meow at the drop of a hat. We miss them and we know we will never forget them. Also visiting Santo Domingo with its wealth of history , museums and great restaurants was the icing on the cake. Thank you Patricia and we hope to meet again! Kim and Rachid

It was an absolute pleasure to meet Patricia and her wonderful furry family! She is such an incredible person—warm, friendly, and full of strength—and I have to say, I finally found my Mexican aunt! 😃 Nilo, the purest breed German Shepherd, is an absolute sweetheart—loyal, easygoing, and always by your side. Wherever you go, he’ll follow, always accompanied by his best friend Pippo, the Siamese "gangster" cat. Honestly, I’m not even sure Pippo is a cat—he’s such a unique creature! Watching the two of them hanging out together was endlessly entertaining. My best work companion was Kiku, who would sit and stare at me with her hypnotic eyes, as if she were trying to decode the secrets of my soul. At night, she’d curl up on my chest, keeping watch over my heartbeat—just in case it skipped a beat during an intense action scene on Patricia’s epic home cinema setup, complete with a big plasma TV, amazing audio, and, of course, homemade popcorn. Then there’s Panchito, the most innocent-looking cat of the group—nicknamed by me "the mysterious unicorn" because he’d appear only for fleeting moments. A true king, he preferred to enjoy Patricia’s king-sized bed all to himself, far away from the rest of us. But don’t be fooled by his quiet demeanor—he’s the best hunter and a legendary feline musician. The moment he spotted a lizard, he’d unleash a hunting battle hymn, summoning all the cats to join him. You’d be truly amazed by his voice! And Maxi, the second Siamese cat? She’s a chatterbox and a secret catnip addict! You’d always find her first because she’d take the best seat in the house—right at the conference table, like she was leading an important meeting. 😂 Patricia’s entire pet family is easygoing, playful, and full of love. They adore cuddles and are a joy to take care of. Leaving them after a month was truly heartbreaking. I wholeheartedly recommend this stay, especially for remote workers who want a peaceful environment, great restaurants nearby, and the constant company of affectionate animals. Thank you, Patricia, for your trust and for giving me the opportunity to take care of your beautiful pet family! ❤️
