I spent a month caring for Barry (dog), Sparky (cat), and CP (cat) in Guanajuato, Mexico, and I could not recommend it more highly.

Hosts & Home:
Paul and Faye were wonderful. They even picked me up from San Miguel, where I was staying, and gave me an in-depth introduction to Guanajuato. Their home is charming and perfectly located—close to everything yet peaceful. The highlight is their beautiful rooftop garden on the third story, which has some of the best views of the city. I made a daily ritual of spending time up there.

Pets:

Barry (dog): A senior dog—smart, sweet, intuitive, and very easy to walk. She knows her way around town and is well-loved; many locals and expats recognized her during our walks. With so many restaurants and street vendors within walking distance (easily 50+), most of which welcome dogs, Barry happily joined me on almost all of my outings.

Sparky (cat): Extremely affectionate, sweet, and easy to care for. Always ready for love and attention.

CP (cat): A little more independent but still nearby much of the time. CP often came in for a quick brush or pet and especially liked keeping me company in the TV room.

Overall Experience:
Their furry family members were an absolute joy to care for, and the home was a comfortable, inspiring base for exploring Guanajuato. This was a truly special sit, and I would gladly return anytime.
