It was an absolute pleasure to stay in the house of Helena and Jim in Ajijic. But it was a greater pleasure to care for their wonderful Spaniel, Dino. At 13 years of age, his middle name should be 'love', because that's what his is--a living creature who gives out nothing but love. What a pleasure to be in his presence. The house was extremely comfortable, with great instructions on how to do what needed to be done, which really wasn't much. Aside from the 3 times a day short walks with Di... Continue Reading

It was an absolute pleasure to stay in the house of Helena and Jim in Ajijic. But it was a greater pleasure to care for their wonderful Spaniel, Dino. At 13 years of age, his middle name should be 'love', because that's what his is--a living creature who gives out nothing but love. What a pleasure to be in his presence. The house was extremely comfortable, with great instructions on how to do what needed to be done, which really wasn't much. Aside from the 3 times a day short walks with Dino, there was lots of time to enjoy their huge backyard, or to watch one of their 2 televisions. Everything you could ever need was there. And, it was a great location. In the Lomos of Ajijic, the house is high on the hills, with a great view of the lake. At the same time, it's 5 minutes to the center of Ajijic. It was a great stay, and I would do it again in a minute. "Thanks" Helena and Jim for trusting us with your house and with your wonderful dog. Eric and Mimi

I have sat twice for Collette during the winter of 2018 & 2017. She is beyond welcoming; had flowers in my room, cooked meals and introduced me to so many people in the community that I left both times feeling like I was leaving many friends. She allowed me to use her car which made getting around Ajijic and the Lake Chapala area so much easier. And her babies … she has 4 wonderful dogs that each have their own personalities.

I have sat twice for Collette during the winter of 2018 & 2017. She is beyond welcoming; had flowers in my room, cooked meals and introduced me to so many people in the community that I left both times feeling like I was leaving many friends. She allowed me to use her car which made getting around Ajijic and the Lake Chapala area so much easier. And her babies … she has 4 wonderful dogs that each have their own personalities. I travel by myself and 4 dogs weren't too much for me to handle because she has them trained so well. On walks, one goes off-leash, another on a single leash and the 2 smallest on a double leash; easy, peasy! Their routine is very easy and they'll reward you with lots of affection. Many evenings, I was in the TV room surrounded by them cuddling and sleeping while I watched movies. AND, she has an extensive movie collection if you enjoy movies. I've sat at many homes now in the area and you won't find a better view of Lake Chapala, especially for sunsets! And, you'll have a great pool to enjoy also. You really won't want for anything and I have no hesitation recommending you sit for Collette and her crew. I will always be open to sitting for her in the future, Just enjoy!

I was lucky enough to sit for Marc & Ella and their sweet Nikki in San Jose del Cabo. They were so welcoming; starting with Ella picking me up at the airport. We talked non-stop for almost 2 days before they left for their trip. Marc is a wonderful cook. We shared several meals together and I was left with many home-made meals in the refrigerator. And, if he offers you a margarita … say yes, they're great! He also has his recipes compiled in a recipe book which I enjoyed. Their home is stunni... Continue Reading

You really won't want for anything; along with the beautiful interior home you'll have an unbelievable exterior living area which includes an eating area, tv, stereo speakers, regular pool, lap pool, hot tub, bar & grill, outdoor shower and view! Needless to say, I didn't leave very often!!! And, you will fall in love with Nikki - just the sweetest ole girl. She's getting older but still likes her walks although they aren't long; I just fell in love with her! I can absolutely say if you get a chance to sit for Marc, Ella, and Nikki … do it … I know I will always be happy to return!

I sat for Linda & Jim in January 2017. It was my first sit outside of the United States and my first trip to Ajijic. They made me so very comfortable by first picking me up at the airport. They then planned a night out with local friends including Alex, the owner of this site. I instantly felt comfortable and welcome. They have a beautiful home. The night before they left and the night they got back, I stayed in their casita which has everything you could need. While they were gone, I stayed ... Continue Reading

The night before they left and the night they got back, I stayed in their casita which has everything you could need. While they were gone, I stayed in their main house so that their dogs would maintain their routines. Their home is beautiful and includes a pool and hot tub. Their dogs are so very sweet and easy. Their walks were off-leash and just a few blocks in different directions three times per day. I can highly recommend sitting for Linda & Jim if you get the opportunity. Their dates for 2018 didn't work out for me but I'd definitely sit for them again if possible!

I sat for Mary Ann & Patrick in January 2018. They were very welcoming from the start and arranged for a driver to pick me up at the airport. The morning before they left, Mary Ann prepared a wonderful brunch which we enjoyed on their lovely patio outdoors. Mary Ann provided a list of important contacts including who to call for maintenance issues and their vet. They have a beautiful home and you'll enjoy gorgeous sunsets from their patio. They have 2 dogs which are very easy to care for; the... Continue Reading

They have 2 dogs which are very easy to care for; they're both getting older and enjoy their walks but can only go a few blocks. They're both very sweet. I can recommend sitting for Mary Ann & Patrick and would welcome sitting for them again.

I think Barbara and Boyd are two of the most wonderful people I have had the pleasure to housesit for. They are very easy-going, warm and lovely people! They made sure I understood how to do everything and left me with some written instructions and helpful phone numbers in case I needed anything. Their house is the definition of tranquility and I felt very relaxed and happy there. Their neighbour Bernie and I had lovely morning walks with beauty (A real elegant beauty who I came to love).

I engaged Jerry and Cheryl A. as my house and pet sitters from December 31 to January 9, 2019 and I can recommend them highly. I have four dogs of varying shapes and sizes and they bonded within minutes. I was able to fully enjoy my time away knowing that my dogs and house were in good hands. Jerry and Cheryl sent me photos of my dogs while I was away and told me about their long walks or peaceful times at the house. When I returned home the house was spotless and it was evident that ...

I engaged Dick and Marty A. as my house and pet sitters from April 23 to May 20, 2017 and can only say the most positive things about them. I have four dogs of varying shapes and sizes and I know that they received loads of love and walks during my absence. Dick and Marty were kind enough to send me photos of my furry friends while I was on my trip, which I loved.

In addition to the pet sitting, Dick kindly stepped in to oversee the final stages of a renovation of a rental property that I own. I consider this above and beyond the call of duty and was so thankful for this added benefit I received. I would gladly have them as house/pet sitters again and I can highly recommend them. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Sherry house sat for me on two occasions: February 3-9, 2017 and again February 18-25, 2018. I found her to be very sociable and upbeat. My four dogs absolutely loved her. She gave them loads of attention and sent me photos during each trip. I think that engaging her twice speaks for itself. I could recommend her to anyone -- in fact, I have in the past. Sherry is reliable, clean and conscientious. She had the use of my car each time and there was never any incident and it was in gr... Continue Reading

Collette was an exceptional host. Her house sitting guide and thorough home and neighborhood tour made us feel safe and informed from the start. Although her 4 sweet and affectionate dogs are of varying sizes and breeds they were easy to handle on the daily walks and in the home. Collette's house is lovely with an unbelievable view of the city and lake. There are endless restaurants and activities down the hill in Ajijic. We would be more than happy to sit the pups again and watch another ... Continue Reading

Both our cats also related to her and we affectionate with her. Our house was in perfect condition when we arrived home. She let us kn... Continue Reading

She let us know while we were away that all was well with e-mails and photo\'s. The 5 rating is not high enough for Lilly. We would love to have here here in the future as a house sitter or as a guest. Barbara & Boyd Members for 3 years

Toni and Lee were not just exceptional, experienced house sitters but loving with our dog, warm and good people, and excellent and easy communicators. I cannot recommend them more highly. You'll be lucky to get them!
