Barry and Maxine were the best House Sitters. They were very responsible and took great care of my two dogs, aquarium, home and garden. The dogs were happy with the care of Maxine and Barry. The 40-gallon aquarium required biweekly water changes and monthly filter maintenance which they performed while I was away for two months. Maxine and Barry were very accommodating regarding this task, including taking the dogs to the Veterinarian and taking them on walks twice per day. They would oft... Continue Reading

The 40-gallon aquarium required biweekly water changes and monthly filter maintenance which they performed while I was away for two months.

They would often send photos and videos of the dogs. They were also very communicative regarding any questions or concerns. The water pump broke and they found a repairman to fix it. They are very orderly and left the house in excellent condition. I highly recommend them.Terry homeowner August 27, 2025
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 da... Continue Reading

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.Shawn housesitter August 27, 2025
Our first time using a house sitter and we couldn't have asked for a better person. Jane is a wonderful person and we knew from the FaceTime interview that our house and our 3 cats were in great hands and that was verified when I picked her up at the bus depot. We could have talked all night. We were gone for almost a month and she sent us pictures of our babies. and kept us updated. When I got home the house looked just like it did when we left. More importantly it was so nice having someon... Continue Reading
Our first time using a house sitter and we couldn't have asked for a better person. Jane is a wonderful person and we knew from the FaceTime interview that our house and our 3 cats were in great hands and that was verified when I picked her up at the bus depot. We could have talked all night. We were gone for almost a month and she sent us pictures of our babies. and kept us updated. When I got home the house looked just like it did when we left. More importantly it was so nice having someone there with our babies and she even bought toys for them and sent a video of them playing. She watered our plants and everything looked great and she even bought a few plants which our 2 cats destroyed while she was on a call. She didn't have to do that I know that is just Jane (caring, nice, friendly, thoughtful,....). I highly recommend her if she responds to an ad. We would definitely use her again if so lucky to do so!David homeowner August 26, 2025
I was honoured to have been selected as Pat and Judy's first-ever house sitter! The hardest part about this sit was having to leave such a tranquil oasis of peace, with the most breathtaking views in all of Ajijic! I spent hours out on the huge terrace, listening to the chorus of birds and gazing out over the lake. Their home is (really) large, comfortable and very well appointed. It was especially a pleasure to be able to drink the (filtered) tap water! While I had some reservation due to th... Continue Reading
I was honoured to have been selected as Pat and Judy's first-ever house sitter! The hardest part about this sit was having to leave such a tranquil oasis of peace, with the most breathtaking views in all of Ajijic! I spent hours out on the huge terrace, listening to the chorus of birds and gazing out over the lake. Their home is (really) large, comfortable and very well appointed. It was especially a pleasure to be able to drink the (filtered) tap water! While I had some reservation due to the lack of A/C, there were very few days or nights in May that were uncomfortably hot, and none in July. The location is also excellent, in a gated community with 24/7 security, gorgeous gardens and a huge communal pool, all in the heart of Ajijic, but far enough above it that the sounds of the city were almost never an issue. If you're comfortable navigating cobblestone streets and steep hills on foot, you can be in the town centre in about 15-20 minutes, or in the blink of an eye by car. Nature lovers will be happy to know that the Tepalo hiking trails are right next door. Overall, communication was very good and I felt welcome, secure, and at home in this warm and generous couple's lovely home!Cara housesitter August 21, 2025
We enjoyed our sit at Louisa’s home. We appreciated coming the day prior to the sit to orient ourselves to the house and cats. Her 2 cats were very easy to care for. Very shy, but they did warm to us after awhile. We had daily contact with Louisa during her absence. The garden and pool were an oasis to relax in. Because they were low maintenance, at Louisa’s urging we were able to explore Cuernavaca and the pueblos mágico near by.

I loved taking care of Dolly. She is a total sweetheart, very chill, and so enjoys her routine and meeting with her bestie, Bea. Janet is a wonderful and generous communicator and a delight to work with. They live in a beautiful and convenient neighborhood. I highly recommend this sit without hesitation.

Jen is a 5-star sitter. She bonded so beautifully with my pup as though they’d been life-long pals. She is one of those people who settles in immediately and respects the established routine, yet with enough flexibility to roll with the punches whatever comes up. She asked lots of questions prior to coming which made me appreciate her before we even met. Dolly and I both hope she’ll come again. It was a perfect match.

Sandi and Bill were A+ House Sitters! I highly recommend them! They were very responsible and took great care of my two cats, home and garden! Everything looked terrific when I returned. The cats were happy with the care of Sandi and Bill. One of my cats is new and I've only had her for 5 months. I wanted to call and video talk to her every day so that she wouldn't think I had abandoned her. Sandi and Bill were very accommodating regarding this request of mine.

Jen did the impossible, she took a photo of both my cats together. She send me photos of them regularly. She came the day before I left and stayed until I got back. She bought me flowers, such a thoughtful gesture. I would highly recommend Jen to take care of your pets.

Martin drove all the way from Mexico City and managed to be right on time. Martin adapted perfectly to Mimi’s shy and cautious nature and let her gradually become comfortable with him. It didn’t take too long before they were best buddies. Martin is a great communicator and provided timely photos of Mimi sitting in his lap. My wife and I can both recommend Martin to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Cara was our first housesitter through Housesit Mexico. What an amazingly positive experience! Cara took care of our home for 6 weeks in late spring and 3 weeks in July. We truly appreciated her attentiveness and willingness to take care of any detail. She is quick to respond to inquiries, pro-active in attending to any issues that arise and took excellent care of our home. We wholeheartedly recommend Cara.

Mimi: Mimi is a very cute dog and so easy to car for. She is very timid, but once she warms up to you, she’s very cuddly and affectionate. Perfect size for joining me in a comfy armchair. Her care was super easy and Mimi herself required very little as she is an inside dog that does not require (or care for) walks). Great dog. The Home: Mike and Susan’s house is beautifully appointed, fully stocked and very comfortable. They have everything you need. The house gets wonderful light and is a j... Continue Reading

The Home: Mike and Susan’s house is beautifully appointed, fully stocked and very comfortable. They have everything you need. The house gets wonderful light and is a joy to spend time in. It’s located in a development that has a small cafe, gym, pool, etc. Great house. Homeowners: Mike and Susan are very responsive and great with communication. They answered every question immediately. The instructions for Mimi and the house are well thought out, comprehensive and easy to understand. They really have anticipated everything. On top of that, they are lovely people. Great hosts. This was a great stay and I recommend any opportunity you get to enjoy their lovely home and their fantastic dog.Martin & Stacy housesitter August 14, 2025
