Hi, I'm Posh Parker, also known as Poshi, Victoria, or Becks. I'm a newbie So-Cal girl with passion for life, tennis balls, and all things pink.

I work closely with the management team to help our furry (and not so furry) friends feel welcome and comfortable during their stay. If you have any special needs or requests, please feel free to email me. You can also check out my Live Like a Local San Diegan pet itinerary so you're in on all the happenings around our beautiful city. Can't wait to meet you!

Memorable Pet Guest Story
On my very first day on the job, a family arrived at the hotel with a little boy that looked afraid. His mom told Chuck, our concierge, that her son was afraid of dogs. I didn't want to scare him, so I just minded my own business and played with a little girl, Abby, visiting from Arizona. I showed her my cool tricks with a tennis ball, which she loved - of course! Her laughter and big smile got the attention of the little boy and all of a sudden, he came toddling over and asked Abby if he could throw the ball to me. I was so excited to have a new friend! His name was Mikey and we played every day in the lobby. On his very last day at the hotel, Mikey seemed really sad. His mom told me that he was crushed to leave his new friend - me! I almost started to cry. Imagine that, someone who was afraid of me was now my good friend. This story is just one of a million examples why I love my job.
