I absolutely love the area. Boca de Iguanas is quiet with one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches I have seen in Nayarit/Jalisco State and Carl and Tracy's home is absolutely perfect. They have a large space ( with a pool!) in a very private area of the Bay, just a ten minute walk with the pups to the beach. Tracy and Carl are exceptional to communicate with and show so much appreciation for those watching over their home and their pets. We had a few glitches with electricity ... Continue Reading
I absolutely love the area. Boca de Iguanas is quiet with one of the most beautiful and pristine beaches I have seen in Nayarit/Jalisco State and Carl and Tracy's home is absolutely perfect. They have a large space ( with a pool!) in a very private area of the Bay, just a ten minute walk with the pups to the beach. Tracy and Carl are exceptional to communicate with and show so much appreciation for those watching over their home and their pets. We had a few glitches with electricity and internet as there was a hurricane approaching and some issues with CFE ( the electrical provider) that were beyond the control of homeowners. Their staff were amazing, keeping the gardens and pool in pristine condition and offering to stay on site when we were without internet for a few days so that I would feel extra secure. I have made new friends as a result and will take the opportunity if offered again to return to the area. I can't rave enough good things about the pets. The cats are friendly and love cuddling and pretty much mind themselves. They have two adult dogs, Frida and Diego and are loveable and will take all the loves you want to give to them. Frida adores walks and the water at the beach, but Diego, is getting a bit older, and prefers shorter walks around the property. While I was there, they also had two foster pups that I was managing, Pancho and Lefty and I feel in love so much with Pancho, I wanted to adopt him. Sadly, Tracy also is in love with him and will be adding him permanently to their family. I plan to visit as a friend sometime in the near future. The very best part of house sitting, is the connections you can make with amazingly wonderful people. The home is comfortable and a lovely little reprise from the super touristy area I am currently in. La Manzanilla is either a 15 minute bike ride, or Tracy and Carl allowed for me to use their car to go get groceries and get out of the house a few times a week. I Highly recommend this house sit opportunity! It def helps to have some basic spanish, especially during off season, but one can get by with the basics.Kimberley housesitter November 29, 2023
Mike and Summer house and pet sat for me for 12 days. I would have them come again in a heartbeat!!! There are 3 dogs, 1 inside cat, 3 feral cats, 2 koi fish and 2 fish ponds with water lillies. The most senior dog needs meds 2x a day, while I was gone they all needed their parasite medications as well. The inside cat had a hairball issue just before I left and needed meds for that. All was taken care of with no worries on my part. House was left immaculate and even more organized, for which... Continue Reading

Tracy and Carl are exceptional to communicate with and show so much appreciation for those watching over their home and their pets. We had some trouble with a neighbour and a few glitches with electricity and internet due to my being there immediatly after and before large storms and they were completely understanding that I felt it was best to go home earlier than planned in order to be safe at home in my own place in Rincon de Guayabitos. I can't say enough good things about the pets. The cats are friendly and love cuddling and pretty much mind themselves. They have two adult dogs, Frida and Diego and are loveable and will take all the loves you want to give to them.

It is always a jam-packed circus leaving one's home and animals. This year, circumstances kept shifting for many sitters, and it was getting closer. Andrea was new to HouseSitMexico, but our first conversation set me at ease. She is from Jalisco, and someone said the women from Jalisco are strong! Andrea is a talented artist who worked on her illustrations for a chldren's book while she did my housesit. She took my dogs on daily walks, kept me aprised of things on the property, and most im...

It is always a jam-packed circus leaving one's home and animals. This year, circumstances kept shifting for many sitters, and it was getting closer. Andrea was new to HouseSitMexico, but our first conversation set me at ease. She is from Jalisco, and someone said the women from Jalisco are strong! Andrea is a talented artist who worked on her illustrations for a chldren's book while she did my housesit. She took my dogs on daily walks, kept me aprised of things on the property, and most importantly of all, sent me continuous photos of my animals as well as the rain on my garden. She is capable, responsible, and communicates the big stuff and the little details of the setting and the critters. She is adaptive, such as when my worker was in an accident, she kept me informed of some schedule changes. Then, I ended up getting COVID while away, and had to delay my return. Andrea again was flexible, and adjusted accordingly to extend her stay. What more could a homeowner ask for? She settled in, seemed to find a rhythm of both housesitting as well as getting her illustrations completed, and I arrived home after a spell of three long flights to a clean house, a hot bowl of soup, and two happy dogs and three purring cats! Happy paws and happy house, I would love to have her housesit again.FIONA homeowner November 26, 2023
My three months of house sitting at the beautiful Patzcuaro home of Becca and her daughters couldn't have been a better, more relaxing and rewarding experience. Patzcuaro is a jewel of a Mexican town, a great place to walk around, with great food, a huge marketplace and nice people. The home itself offered a vegetable/herb garden, fresh eggs from two hens, and the companionship of two cats and a sweet female Rottweiler. Becca provided all the necessary details -- written down clearly -- for t... Continue Reading

Becca provided all the necessary details -- written down clearly -- for the care of her house and pets: No surprises or second-guessing. This is a highly recommended house sit , a choice assignment, from a sitter who's house sat for some two dozen houses across Mexico.Patrick housesitter November 24, 2023
David housesat for me for two weeks. Everything went great. He notified me a week before to let me know everything was on track. He also notified me exactly when he would be arriving. The dogs took an instant liking to him, and I left knowing they would be well cared for. One of my dogs stopped eating, and David kept me aware of the situation and took her to the vet. We were in contact while I was away, and my house and dogs were in great shape when I returned home. He's a very easy going g... Continue Reading

I would highly recommend him. I wanted to hire him again for my next trip over the holidays, but sadly, he was already booked.gracie homeowner November 24, 2023
I had Jeanette and David as house sitters for 3 weeks in October/November 2023. They were responsible for my 2 dogs and they did a wonderful job. The 4 of them got along great and the dogs were well loved and looked after. Everything ran smoothly and I returned to my house just as I had left it. They have my highest recommendation.

We had a wonderful housesit with Barb and Mark along with their little dog, Archer. The area is very quiet and safe, the house is very well maintained and comfortably furnished, the kitchen is well equipped - we had everything we needed at our disposal. But the best thing about the sit was little Archer, who is a very sweet, calm, as well as bright and clever dog who loves to play. He became my little heartbreaker. Although a few things went wrong during the housesit, Barb and Mark were unde... Continue Reading

But the best thing about the sit was little Archer, who is a very sweet, calm, as well as bright and clever dog who loves to play. He became my little heartbreaker. Although a few things went wrong during the housesit, Barb and Mark were understanding, warm and generous - we didn't have to replace anything. Their kindness is exceptional and I would thoroughly recommend a sit there to anyone and would consider myself lucky if the opportunity arose for us again.Dorothea & Sven housesitter November 23, 2023
I really enjoyed sitting for Gracie's dogs Negrita and Scout. The dogs are very sweet, easy to care for and with great personalities. Gracie's home is an oasis full of flowers, plants and warmth. She was very organized, the house is beautiful and inviting. It was an honour to sit for her and I would love to return soon.

Dodo and Sven took great care of our house and dog Archer. They sent photos of Archie almost daily. They watered plants, kept our hummingbirds happy with fresh food and left the place sparkling clean. There were a couple of mishaps that they immediately informed us about and offered to help pay for (we didn't want them to) or get fixed before we came home. They are extremely responsible and caring. Dodo works remotely, so they were always home and managed some deliveries for us. I would th... Continue Reading

Alex A. is the best house sitter I've ever had and I've had close to a dozen over the years, all long term and all stellar so to sing his praises as such is high praise indeed. Alex actually took a long sit after another sitter had to depart suddenly. He already had great reviews but it was a last minute decision on both our parts. Alex committed to a long sit (July to Oct) caring for a rescued large dog and 4 semi-feral cats. His care of my dog was exceptional and the cats are in the bes... Continue Reading

Alex committed to a long sit (July to Oct) caring for a rescued large dog and 4 semi-feral cats. His care of my dog was exceptional and the cats are in the best health they've ever been. He sent me pics of his outings with my dog which were varied and super fun for Canelo in our small beach town. In addition to caring for the 4 legged residents of the villa, Alex identified problem areas at the villa over the summer months and made sure that any repairs needed were accomplished. Alex speaks perfect English and Spanish as he spent his early childhood in Great Britain and has roots here too. He's an ideal sitter on so many levels: familiarity with how things run in Mexico, deep seated love for animals, and heightened level of responsibility. My sincere thanks go to him.Jill homeowner November 22, 2023
Emily and Loren pet sat and house sat for me from late October to Nov 12 and did a wonderful job of it. They made plans to fly down a couple days early such that they could learn the pet care and house care routines from a departing long term sitter. They accomplished all the villa needs and the pet needs perfectly. I feel fortunate to have had them care for the 4 legged residents at the villa and to oversee care of the villa in my absence. They did a stupendous job and I highly recommend... Continue Reading
