Nichole was a fantastic house sitter. We were happy that we got to meet with her prior to the sit because she was already in town. We learned that she was a very experienced traveler in Mexico and it put our mind at ease knowing she already knew the logistics of getting a longer stay visa and which airports were more likely to give her a 180 stamp in her passport. Prior to and during the sit Nichole was excellent at communicating, whether asking questions about the upcoming sit, keeping us... Continue Reading

Nichole was a fantastic house sitter. We were happy that we got to meet with her prior to the sit because she was already in town. We learned that she was a very experienced traveler in Mexico and it put our mind at ease knowing she already knew the logistics of getting a longer stay visa and which airports were more likely to give her a 180 stamp in her passport. Prior to and during the sit Nichole was excellent at communicating, whether asking questions about the upcoming sit, keeping us updated on her travel plans, sending us cute photos of our pups, asking if it was OK for her to have family visit at the casita, etc. We really appreciated that the kept in touch with us prior to and during the sit. The dogs appeared to really like interacting with Nichole. We were able to see her playing with the dogs in the courtyard, throwing the ball and giving them their daily dose of exercise. Nichole did a great job looking after our property, making sure our housekeeper and gardener received their pay, and taking care of our dogs. We were very pleased that she had the opportunity to take Spanish classes and got to explore our amazing city. We highly recommend her for future sits.

Patricia watched our home and dog for 5 weeks. She was amazing! She took great care of everything and had no problems of any kind. She respected our home and left everything clean and cared for. We have remained friends and would love to have her sit again. I recommend her with no reservations at all!

Patricia was fantastic with our semi-feral cat, Marco. He is very shy and was sitting in her lap by day two, which was a miracle. Patricia kept in constant touch with us, providing us with daily reports. The house was spotless and Patricia left it in perfect condition. My feeling was that she took care of the house as if it were her own. She has house sat in Ajijic before and was familiar with all the quirks of a small Mexican town. I would highly recommend her and have perfect trust in... Continue Reading

Stacy and Jon’s home is a gem, and their two dogs, Harken and Obi, are an absolute delight—super bonded, full of personality, and a joy to be around. They were easy to care for, just a bit excited (especially when the ball comes out!), but always sweet and playful. The property itself is very well-stocked, clean, and comfortable—truly everything you’d need. The casita had great A/C, which made a huge difference during the hot month of May.

Stacy and Jon’s home is a gem, and their two dogs, Harken and Obi, are an absolute delight—super bonded, full of personality, and a joy to be around. They were easy to care for, just a bit excited (especially when the ball comes out!), but always sweet and playful. The property itself is very well-stocked, clean, and comfortable—truly everything you’d need. The casita had great A/C, which made a huge difference during the hot month of May. The sound system was a bonus—I even got to have my own little graduation celebration, and the quiet surroundings meant I could enjoy it without worry. Stacy and Jon are the kind of hosts you hope for: thoughtful, easygoing, and genuinely kind. I really appreciated how they gave me space to settle in and trusted me with their home and pups. Every sitter has a different rhythm and reason for traveling—mine included taking Spanish classes—and they were totally supportive of that, just as they described in advance. I was able to step out for a few hours a day, and everything worked out great with the dogs and with any housekeepers or visitors. The neighborhood is very local and walkable. Bodega Aurrera (Walmart) is close by, and there are a few nice cafes and restaurants around. Ubers were always fast and easy—I never had a single issue getting around. Truly, this was an incredible sit. Stacy and Jon are down-to-earth, considerate people who focus on what really matters, and I’d return in a heartbeat if I could.

I had the pleasure of house- and pet-sitting for Peggy this May. Peggy was a hospitable and generous host, allowing me to stay a couple of days before to get an understanding of the pets' routines. She left detailed instructions as well as contacts for vets, neighbours, etc, which was very helpful. It is evident she cares about the comfort of her house sitters. Her two dogs, Pancho and Tata, are silly and lovable and will be your best friends and shadows within minutes of meeting you. Her kit... Continue Reading

Her two dogs, Pancho and Tata, are silly and lovable and will be your best friends and shadows within minutes of meeting you. Her kitties are lovely, and I enjoyed getting daily cuddles from Leo. They all brought so much joy to the housesit. The house is situated in a safe and convenient location, but my favourite aspect was the terrace and the beautiful view. I am grateful to Peggy for giving me my first opportunity to house/pet-sit and for sharing her beautiful home and sweet pets with me. I wholeheartedly recommend housesitting for Peggy.

My boyfriend and I house and dog sat for Michelle in May 2025 for almost 3 weeks. I can honestly say that it was an absolute pleasure! Michelle is so lovely, was extremely welcoming and very responsive with all our many questions we had. Michelle's fur baby, Sophia, is a total delight. She and I immediately bonded! Though she was a little more trepidatious about Randy, she soon warmed up to him. Sophia was a great sleeper, always on her bed for the whole night, never trying to get into ou... Continue Reading

My boyfriend and I house and dog sat for Michelle in May 2025 for almost 3 weeks. I can honestly say that it was an absolute pleasure! Michelle is so lovely, was extremely welcoming and very responsive with all our many questions we had. Michelle's fur baby, Sophia, is a total delight. She and I immediately bonded! Though she was a little more trepidatious about Randy, she soon warmed up to him. Sophia was a great sleeper, always on her bed for the whole night, never trying to get into our room or wake us up. She was easy to walk and was very patient as she waited for us to get ready to go out. I worked remotely while I was there. I have loads of Teams meetings and often worry about bandwidth. But the wifi was a dream. There were 2 or 3 times in my first few days where the power went off and then back on again about 2 minutes later. The area where the house is located is within walking distance or close to restaurants and stores. I would most definitely sit for Michelle and Sophia again sometime. I really miss Sophia!!!

I had the privilege to dogsit for Mary Ann for 5 1/2 weeks at her gorgeous home in Ajijic. My companions were the 2 sweetest dogs - Duchess and Elvis. They rule the roost but in the best possible way. I truly miss their company already. Mary Ann graciously picked me up at the Guadalajara airport and prepared everything for me before she left - all payments for her lovely maid Carmen, Gardener Fernando and pool caretaker Miguel were ready to go on a weekly basis.

Mary Ann graciously picked me up at the Guadalajara airport and prepared everything for me before she left - all payments for her lovely maid Carmen, Gardener Fernando and pool caretaker Miguel were ready to go on a weekly basis. The staff and I were a team and everything flowed. Even unexpected surprises were just opportunities to problem solve. Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful. My Spanish, while still needing work, improved with use and I learned so much more about life at Lake Chapala. There were even a couple of great rainstorms to cool us off from May's hot weather. I'm grateful for the chance to offer love and care to the dogs and her home and would return again. Gracias!! Victoria

Monica was a wonderful pet-sitter! She stayed with my 6 fur babies and was an excellent communicator and from the beginning until the end bonded with each and every animal with love and affection. I enjoyed getting to know Monica as well and appreciated our conversations and lovely pics she’d send me daily:)

I had the opportunity to house sit at Terra Vista and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The property is beautiful and clearly cared for with great attention — beautifully maintained and thoughtfully designed, with systems in place that made the responsibilities easier to manage. Caring for the chickens added a nice rhythm to the days and made me feel connected to the property while the S&E were away. Thanks for connecting me with local friends to create community ties and for our shared ... Continue Reading

It was a relief to see Renee on the outdoor security cameras watching over our house. Our pet really enjoyed the morning walks. Thank you for taking care of our house and our pet. She was always available for the weekly visits from our gardener and maid.

Tiffany and Leif are amazing! Our two dogs and cat asked us to leave again so they can come back and spoil them. The plants looked healthier and the house, especially the kitchen, was cleaner and better organized. We received Proof of Life photos at least every other day and they gladly took on a few extra chores. All this and really nice, fun people, I hope to have as friends for a long time. YOU CAN'T DO BETTER THAN TIFFANY & LEIF!

What a joy to write a review for my experience house/doggie sitting for Janet this past May, 2025. First of all, Dolly is the cutest doggie you will ever meet. She is so well trained by Janet, and tons of fun to be with. Upon arrival in Janet’s very comfortable home, she provided me an excellent 3-page list documenting Dolly’s care, contacts for neighbors, and much more.

What a joy to write a review for my experience house/doggie sitting for Janet this past May, 2025. First of all, Dolly is the cutest doggie you will ever meet. She is so well trained by Janet, and tons of fun to be with. Upon arrival in Janet’s very comfortable home, she provided me an excellent 3-page list documenting Dolly’s care, contacts for neighbors, and much more. It was a very warm welcome, and I felt confident with the information I could easily take care of Janet’s lovely home, and Dolly. Colonia Guadalupe, where Janet lives is a fascinating neighborhood with colorful murals that are quite amazing. Grocery store, and vegetarian shop are nearby, as well as great bus and taxi service. Once Dolly had morning care and walks, I was free to explore San Miguel. The historic center is only about a 15-20 minute walk. Highly recommend this house sit for Janet and darling Dolly!!
