I felt a warm connection to Claire and Scott from our first videocall with them in the jungle, and me on a back porch in Joshua Tree. They struck me as fair-minded, grateful, hard working, playful, and private people for whom opening their house to a stranger was a stretch. I immediately knew that I wanted to help them.

I felt a warm connection to Claire and Scott from our first videocall with them in the jungle, and me on a back porch in Joshua Tree. They struck me as fair-minded, grateful, hard working, playful, and private people for whom opening their house to a stranger was a stretch. I immediately knew that I wanted to help them. In housesitter relationship, I value communication, orderliness, and a simplified routine for the animals, and Claire and Scott checked on all three. Their communication was just the right amount to stay connected and informed, and their response time and patience fielding questions was great. They were wonderful about including me in their dinners, and suggesting places to go. It felt like I was meeting two new friends. The house itself is a beauty. They designed it themselves. Surrounded by their private and lush jungle. Very little car noise from the nearby highway. Mostly, I heard birds, frogs and enjoyed some of the best full moon viewings and firefly evening shows in memory. Internet is satellite — a high standard in Mexico. There is a wonderful trampoline exercise room, and a lovely spare apartment for the sitter with a quality mattress. The jungle is hot — and there are overhead fans and AC units which need to be balanced in their use, because they are 100% solar — and solar has its own idiosyncrasies. This is a perfect place to disconnect. I would recommend a housesitter who is good with solitude; proactive about cleaning, assertive enough to keep dogs on the routines, not squeamish about crawling jungle insects (I made no war on the jungle; I just got used to removing many a creature with a harmless little trap that Scott uses that works every time!) The doggies are fun, upbeat, loving, obedient and loyal to the house, with gentle spirits. Be you so lucky to meet them!Edward housesitter August 29, 2024
I came home to a relaxed and happy pup and a tidy home. Jordyn handled not only my Dolly with care, she juggled her schedule to accommodate my flight delays and several Amazon packages that were delivered at odd hours. She’s professional and responsible and totally trustworthy. She even wrote postcards to undecided voters for me! Do come visit us again when you’re in SMA. Thank you, Jordyn from Dolly and me.

It was such a pleasure to meet this family (who house sat for us). They took great care of our pets and our home AND even had soup and a bottle of wine in the refrigerator when we returned home. I highly recommend them to you!

We feel so lucky to have found Eric at such short notice. He arrived 4 days before we left and it was a perfect time for us to show him the ropes and get to know the dogs without it all feeling like a rushed process. He was attentive to our requirements, asked lots of useful questions and took his own notes on top of the list we had given him. Whilst we were away he kept in regular contact with us and updated us on the dogs and experiences he was happening with jungle life. He was also very... Continue Reading

He was attentive to our requirements, asked lots of useful questions and took his own notes on top of the list we had given him. Whilst we were away he kept in regular contact with us and updated us on the dogs and experiences he was happening with jungle life. He was also very capable at finding out information locally and meeting people that could help him with transport. When we returned the house was tidy and clean and the dogs were calm and content. We would definitely recommend Eric as a wonderful house sitter and would happily have him come stay again. If you are looking for a competent person to leave your pets and house with, then Eric is your guy.Claire homeowner August 26, 2024
Layla and Sergio were wonderful. Our dog Sammie was given great care and attention. During their stay there was a tropical storm and they kept us updated. Everything was fine and they were great keeping our Sammie calm. The next day the storm subsided and they sent a picture of Sergio in a raincoat and our Sammie in his raincoat out for a walk. They also sent pictures of playing ball with Sammie. Sammie was a happy boy. They took excellent care of Sammie and our home. Layla surprised us when ... Continue Reading

Herb and Fernando were amazing with our dog Sammie. They took great care of Sammie and our home. They checked in with us and sent pictures. We were able to go on vacation knowing our Sammie was in good care. We would definitely have them back again to take care of our home and Sammie. We highly recommend Herb and Fernando for house and pet sitting.. Look forward to seeing them again. Carol, Bill and Sammie

Everything you need is within eyesight and easy to find and if not you will find within their book of instructions all your questions will be answered to every detail. Their home is in a private gated complex which is safe and easy for enjoyable daily walks with Sammie who will take you through all the streets. His feeding routine is well defined in your instruction manual and once you do it a couple times it is really simple. We had a great stay watching Carol and Bill's home, and especially taking care of Sammie who we still think about. Thank you Carol, Bill and Sammie for a wonderful HouseSitMexico experience.

Keth and Louise housesat for us for our last trip to visit family in the US for three weeks. They already were in the area housesittng for others and our opportunity fit in perfectly into their schedule. They are a lovely British couple who took excellent care of our home and especially our Lola. It was instant love between them. Despite having community water issues due to an electrical storm, they were nonplussed about it. They communicated every few days, sometimes with pictures of Lola... Continue Reading

They are a lovely British couple who took excellent care of our home and especially our Lola. It was instant love between them. Despite having community water issues due to an electrical storm, they were nonplussed about it. They communicated every few days, sometimes with pictures of Lola. Keith, being the chef of the house, seemed to enjoy having a well-stocked kitchen, although I am sure they are able to make do with whatever their host has. Should you select them as your housesitter, you will not be disappointed.Helena & Jim homeowner August 19, 2024
I had a wonderful stay at Janet’s house. Their fur babies were a delight to care for and the house is simply lovely. They have a back porch I could just live on (and I did). The neighborhood is very walkable and very safe. Uber is available easily if you’re not up to navigating the cobblestone streets. This was my first sit for HouseSitMexico and the bar was set very high. Definitely recommend to anyone that has the opportunity to sit for them.

I had a lovely stay at Laureen's in SMA. It's a beautiful, modern, contemporary home in a nice neighborhood, and very well located. The bus station is 5mins walk and Centro is 15 mins and generally very convenient and walkable to "everything". The rooftop is amazing, overlooking the historical buildings of Centro on the one side and the country side on the other. It was really fun to look after Chispa, she is very fun, sociable and playful, and can also be quite 'bratty' sometimes in the swee... Continue Reading

And can't wait to see Chispa. Thanks for the lovely stay Laureen!Janak housesitter August 13, 2024
What a wonderful house sit. Helena and Jim are very friendly and have a great amount of helpful information and resources in the local area they really want to to enjoy yourself at their beautiful home. Lola the star of show is so easy to look after. She loves her walks and toys and enjoys curling up and getting tummy rub time. We used Jim's car and that was excellent to drive down the Malecón for early morning walks and shopping trips. We don't think you could better this house sit Helena ... Continue Reading
