My wife & I house & pet sat for Krystie & Terry's home with their dog Gizmo in Puerto Morelos. They made our stay very pleasant and their dog is so easy to care for and Gizmo took to us quite well. They live in a great location close to the beach and many activities around. Whoever house sits for them will have an enjoyable time as they are great people.

Shauna was a wonderful housesitter during my 7 weeks away. She is very capable, and was an excellent communicator, both when we were messaging about arrangements before her arrival and during my absence. We had a couple of days together after she arrived and before I left, to run through how everything works here, and the tasks required, and she "got" all of it, only messaging me a couple of times to ask about things that seemed "off", or that she had a question about.

X Shauna was a wonderful housesitter during my 7 weeks away. She is very capable, and was an excellent communicator, both when we were messaging about arrangements before her arrival and during my absence. We had a couple of days together after she arrived and before I left, to run through how everything works here, and the tasks required, and she "got" all of it, only messaging me a couple of times to ask about things that seemed "off", or that she had a question about. My place is not that easy to look after, especially in the hot, humid rainy season, but Shauna was obviously quite capable of dealing with a home that isn't an automatic condo-type place. The house was very clean and tidy on my return, the cat alive and well, and the yard and gardens in as good shape or better than I expect during the rainy season when everything grows out of control. (I don't expect housesitters to weed, or care for plants beyond watering if necessary, just to keep the few small grassy areas weedeaten and chop back anything that's flopping over into the paths) Shauna had asked if it would be okay to bring her large, calm, senior dog with her, although said she could leave him with a friend if necessary, but I said it was fine. It never occurred to me that the cat would freak out, as I had had a large dog she was used to until the dog passed away 3 years ago. The cat took off as soon as the dog appeared, which really didn't concern me very much- she is an outside cat who was feral in my neighborhood for a couple of years until she decided she lived here. She reappeared during the night when the dog was inside the guest bedroom with Shauna, and the next day I carried her within proximity of the dog, which she wasn't too happy about, but didn't disappear again, just stayed inside the house. Shauna had gotten up before me the morning I left, made friends with the cat, and within a day or two after I left, Shauna messaged me to say all was well, and the cat had resigned itself to the dog and was no longer in freak-out mode. When I returned, Shauna said the cat actually often slept with her. She also came and picked me up from the bus station when I returned, which was greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend Shauna as a housesitter and would definitely love to have her housesit for me again.

We have just finished a wonderful situation for Barbara and from start to finish it was a great experience! Barbara met us like old friends and took time to show us around the area and make sure we were comfortable. There were extensive instructions, information and contacts for help so that we felt completely comfortable. Her home is beautiful and well stocked.. But the best part, by far, was spending time with her 2 pups. Rafi and Sophie were great companions. Lovable, sweet and... Continue Reading

Terri & Roger housesitter September 08, 2025

This was a long time away from my two pups and home in LA Paz. Terri and Roger kept in touch with pictures and stories about how they were doing. I felt so comfortable being away knowing that my pups and house were being well cared for. They are a very nice and capable couple. I would welcome them back.

This was a great sit as soon as applied for. Charina is busy but made the time to chat before we mutually agreed to move forward. She is very informative, both over the phone and in writing, and takes great pride and passion with her 4 amazing cats. She was very clear and specific of the special needs or attention needed for a couple, which definitely helped upon arrival to better understand the expectations before getting together for our "meet and greet" the day before the sit began.

She was very clear and specific of the special needs or attention needed for a couple, which definitely helped upon arrival to better understand the expectations before getting together for our "meet and greet" the day before the sit began. The apartment is in a nice location, offers everything you can imagine and close to walking to the stores or for other needs. It is also down the street from the train and any busses so super convenient to get around if needed. I walked around a lot but also had a car. Parking in the subterranian garage definitely put my mind at ease as well. The cats are very well-behaved and a couple are real snugglers. They love their feeding and play times for sure! Charina communicates well and informs when something comes up so it's not a surprise. I would be happy to come back for other sits if our schedules mesh again in the future.

I highly recommend Sharon. She is very conscientious, honest and capable. We effortlessly maintained communication throughout her stay. She is able to follow intricate instructions and problem solve. She kept my house and yard in great shape. If I need a house sitter again, I will call her first.

Deborah was cheerful and had a pleasant manner. The house was well taken care of. She didn't want the housekeeper coming and so I had to pay for services not rendered. She kept in touch by whatsapp. I didn't appreciate having my kitchen cupboards and counters rearranged. My dogs were well cared for and she sent pictures of them.

I had the absolute pleasure of housesitting for this lovely family for nearly a month, and it was one of my favourite sits so far. From our first video call, I knew they were warm, welcoming and genuinely caring pet parents. They made everything simple and stress-free, even picking me up from the bus depot when I arrived and arranging a lift back on my last day.

X I had the absolute pleasure of housesitting for this lovely family for nearly a month, and it was one of my favourite sits so far. From our first video call, I knew they were warm, welcoming and genuinely caring pet parents. They made everything simple and stress-free, even picking me up from the bus depot when I arrived and arranging a lift back on my last day. Their home is a beautiful, peaceful oasis in a quiet, safe and friendly neighbourhood close to the town centre. I felt relaxed and at home right away. The real highlight, though, was their three wonderful cats - Max, Cooper and Sammi - each with their own unique personality. Max went from being shy and hiding to becoming my regular sofa buddy. Cooper, with his calm and regal presence, often joined in too; he and Max seemed to decide among themselves whose turn it was! Sammi’s excitement at dinnertime was pure entertainment. She loved her post-dinner brushing and, while not a cuddler, enjoyed hanging out nearby. All three also really enjoyed playing with "mouse on a string" and other dangling toys every evening. The owners were trusting, appreciative and always kind. The house had everything I needed, the garden was gorgeous, and caring for their cats was an absolute pleasure. If you’re looking for a housesit with genuine, thoughtful people and some very special feline companions, I couldn’t recommend them more highly. I’d love the chance to return one day. It was a truly wonderful and positive experience from start to finish!

Shawn is a loving pet-mama, conscientious plant-carer, and fastidious communicator. She left our home, and our two cats and dog, in better shape than when she arrived. She is very good at sending regular updates, with photos and videos, on the home and our pets. Almost too good, since it's hard to keep up with her flurry of missives!

X Just wrapped up the most enjoyable two month plus house and pet sit in LaPaz. It all started with great hosts and homeowners Monica and Terry who provided us with clear detailed instructions outlining caring for their lovely beach side condo, the pups - Aby and Zora, aquarium and indoor/outdoor plants. Their home is well equipped, neat and tidy with a comfortable well appointed guest room and ensuite. We were provided a vehicle which gave us access to some of most amazing beaches and road trips to some nearby towns. Also, kayaks, bicycles and SUP’s were available for our use as well. Aby and Zora were delightful and looked forward to their beach walks and curling up with us in the evenings for some quiet time. Communication with Terry and Monica was easy via WhatsApp when any questions arose throughout our time. LaPaz is a beautiful city with a gorgeous malecon and a great restaurant and coffee shoppe scene. All in all we could not have asked for a more enjoyable assignment. Thank you Terry and Monica for the opportunity to care for your fur and fin family. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. Thank you.

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

They are very orderly and left the house in excellent condition. I highly recommend them.

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.
