A wonderful experience. Silvia, her family and friends made me feel at home from the first day. The work was varied and always flexible, and I also had the opportunity to get to know the town and enjoy the nature of the Pyrenees. I left with an incredible memory and I would definitely come back. Thank you very much for everything!

None of what was agreed upon was carried out. He arrived one hour late to our meeting because he was on vacation with his children. I didn't have a room ready upon arrival; there were four dependent dogs left unattended, full of feces, urine, and open wounds, eleven cats meowing locked up, plus eight dogs in the shelter. Silvia was overwhelmed with work; I helped her as much as I could, but living in situations of lack of hygiene, lack of care, and lack of organization, or morality, are not situations I want to experience. The dining room of the house was the enclosure for the old and sick dogs and was overflowing with urine and poop.

La experiencia fue magnífica. La familia es increíble, tuve la oportunidad de conocer el pueblo, conectar con la naturaleza y expresar mi amor por los animales. Silvia y sus hijos te hacen sentir como en casa, me sentí parte de la familia, iría mil veces más. Muchas gracias!
