Stephanie stayed with my dogs for three weeks and from reports I received from neighbors, as well as from Stephanie, the dogs (including Malcolm who is not terribly impressed by humans) appeared to love her. Of course that makes me happy... . The house was neat and clean when I arrived home... There didn't seem to be any problems while I was gone... I would use Stephanie again...

Cherie was a very welcoming home-owner who thoroughly cared about our needs. Her home was comfortable and warmly decorated. We had the top floor to ourselves, with a great view of the cathedral from the roof top terrace. Her 2 cats, Diego and Rosa, were absolutely adorable and very easy to care for. Because of the central location, we didn't need the use of a car. We had an enjoyable time in SMA and would highly recommend this sit.

It was a pleasure to have Brenda caring for my home and my baby girl for the 2 weeks I was away in the US. I felt confident from the start that Brenda would be reliable and capable. I enjoyed getting messages and photos of my fur baby throughout the time I was gone. Brenda is very peronable and fun to be with so I knew she would fit right into my community of mostly older women. The neighbors reported that they enjoyed being with her. I would definitely engage Brenda again to keep my home and... Continue Reading

Emma and Barry are beautiful people, amazing pet and housesitters, I highly recommend them. If you are fortunate enough that they are available to housesit for you do not even think about it! I was gone for a 6 week residency and having them care for my home and 4 pets gave me total peace of mind, they kept me consistently informed with texts and photos, were so considerate, helpful and flexible, some things came up that I needed to take care of at a distance and they right away stepped in to...

I was gone for a 6 week residency and having them care for my home and 4 pets gave me total peace of mind, they kept me consistently informed with texts and photos, were so considerate, helpful and flexible, some things came up that I needed to take care of at a distance and they right away stepped in to help me solve them. My 3 cats and my dog were so happy when I returned, one of my cats has leukemia and needed a special medication treatment, when i got back he was in excellent condition, even better than how I left him. My dog Preshus created a strong bond with them and I could very soon tell in the videos how happy she was to be with them. They were even able to slowly gain the trust of my little feral Pepita who is a very scaredy kitty. The house was in excellent condition and so clean when i returned, the garden was also really well cared for. Really an all around great experience. I look forward to seeing Emma and Barry whenever they are in town again, and I hope I get to have them housesit for me if I have to travel again in the future.

It was a pleasure to house sit for Lila and Milli (Lila's pet). I got on with Milli from the start. I followed Lila’s plant schedule to ensure all plants stayed healthy. Milli and I had daily walks after feeding and afternoon sun soaking on the property. I stayed in contact with Lila throughout my house sitting assignment. If available I would love to house sit for Lila and Milli again.

It was an absolute pleasure to have had the opportunity to care for Daniela’s four beautiful darlings, Preshus, Nano, Pepita and Pushkin.  Daniela’s home is a beautiful Artist home - light filled, soft and woolly, designed by Daniela herself. The home is very spacious, full of natural light, art and a plethora of books. The guest room where we stayed has views of the beautiful churches and felt a bit like sleeping in the treetops. The kitchen is also fully equipped for cooking and baking. ... Continue Reading

It was an absolute pleasure to have had the opportunity to care for Daniela’s four beautiful darlings, Preshus, Nano, Pepita and Pushkin.  Daniela’s home is a beautiful Artist home - light filled, soft and woolly, designed by Daniela herself. The home is very spacious, full of natural light, art and a plethora of books. The guest room where we stayed has views of the beautiful churches and felt a bit like sleeping in the treetops. The kitchen is also fully equipped for cooking and baking. The neighborhood is one of our personal favorites in SMA with an abundance of restaurants and cafes a street away and Centro just a short 20 minute stroll. Daniela provided extensive, informative instructions and was in constant communication during her time away. We felt very comfortable and equipped to care for her fur family. But the highlight for our stay was spending time with her beautiful fur family. Preshus is a sweet natured, gentle soul. Loveable and always by your side. The excitement she displays when she hears ‘vamanos’ for her daily walks is adorable. The cats all have their own endearing personalities. Nano is independent yet loves his cuddles and lap sits and would often come upstairs to greet us in bed in the morning. Despite having leukemia, he’s a very active little fella and it was wonderful to see him increasingly thrive during our stay after taking rounds of new medication. Pushkin loves a natter, he would often come over to us for a chat. Seeing his head down the plant jug as opposed to drinking from his water bowl always gave us a laugh. Then there is sweet little Pepita or ‘Pebble’. Very shy and reserved however by the end of our six week stay, she was out of her hiding place and spending time with us in the lounge. We truly adore these beautiful rescue animals. We even had the opportunity to meet Musgo and Lana, Daniela’s two pet donkeys, which was a great experience. A heartfelt thank you, Daniela, for having us stay in your beautiful home and look after your darlings. We look forward to catching up with you and the fur family again in San Miguel.

November 24, 2024 to January 2, 2025 The Kimball and Russell home is our favorite holiday pet and house sit. Their lovely home is an oasis of calm in a busy town. Despite it being a quiet country retreat, it boasts very easy access to local shopping, cafes, and entertainment venues. A morning coffee or an evening glass of wine on the lovely patio with a breathtaking view of Lake Chapala are perfect bookends to the day. Their neighborhood is secure and very friendly.

November 24, 2024 to January 2, 2025 The Kimball and Russell home is our favorite holiday pet and house sit. Their lovely home is an oasis of calm in a busy town. Despite it being a quiet country retreat, it boasts very easy access to local shopping, cafes, and entertainment venues. A morning coffee or an evening glass of wine on the lovely patio with a breathtaking view of Lake Chapala are perfect bookends to the day. Their neighborhood is secure and very friendly. The community center offers a pool, library, and fitness room. Friday night gatherings offer a great opportunity to visit with old friends and meet new ones. The reliable WIFI offers us the convenience we need to communicate with all our house and pets sits. Evita and Luna are joyful holiday hosts, always ready to please. They are a wonderful pair of miniature schnauzers, ever ready with tail wagging affection and backyard antics. Their intelligence allows them to be eager and quick learners. On our stays Evita and Luna have shared car rides to the dog park or lakeside forays for an adventure away from home. During our stays they have learned new routines which endear them to us all the more, if that is possible. We wholeheartedly thank Kimball and Russell for sharing their home and pet family with us over the last couple of Christmas seasons. We very much look forward to the same for the 2025 holiday. Who could ask for more than Evita and Luna as our Christmas presents. SaM and David "Evita's and Luna's Forever Devine House Sitters"

When you and your dog connect with your house sitter it makes a wonderful trip. With Courtney, I can assure you that your pets will be loved. My Bella was searching for Courtney after she departed. It is nice to sit and chat about your love of Mexico and its benefits. I give Courtney 5 stars as an animal lover and house sitter.

Jesse and I just sat for Toni for 5 4 days, and you could not ask for a more gracious hostsess. Her home was comfortable and cozy. Her instructions were carefully written out and so easy to follow. They answered all of our questions. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and there are plenty of shops, markets, restaurants, etc. within a 15 minute walk.

Although I am late in writing our review, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our one week housesit for Michael & Janie in Sept '24! It was helpful to meet before their trip to interact with Jasper and spend time getting to know them. We arrived the day before their departure to learn more about the routines and then went to dinner together. The home is beautiful, immaculately clean, and we had a lovely room with an ensuite bathroom. We spent a lot of time in the beautiful outdoor spaces and ... Continue Reading

Although I am late in writing our review, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our one week housesit for Michael & Janie in Sept '24! It was helpful to meet before their trip to interact with Jasper and spend time getting to know them. We arrived the day before their departure to learn more about the routines and then went to dinner together. The home is beautiful, immaculately clean, and we had a lovely room with an ensuite bathroom. We spent a lot of time in the beautiful outdoor spaces and enjoyed the gorgeous views from the upper terrace. A very helpful welcome guide was provided and Michael was quick to respond to texts before and during our sit. They are very kind individuals and made us feel welcome from the start. Jasper is easy to love and it was difficult to leave him when our sit came to an end. He is very laid back and accepted us both quickly. Jasper especially enjoyed sitting with us on the patio lounge chairs and could be found sunning himself on the upstairs patio when not by our side. During the time of our stay, Jasper was experiencing skin issues and needed cream put on his belly. Although he didn't like it, Jasper was still very cooperative and knew he would receive a "treat" afterward. At the time, he was on a schedule for small meals which was no issue for us. It is clear how much Michael and Janie love him and have tried many different things to figure out what is causing his skin irritation. Jasper loves his morning brushing and of course drinks from the bathroom faucet. He consistently makes you smile and is one of the most delightful cats we've cared for in our last 4 years of travel. Michael and Janie were wonderful hosts as well and we highly recommend sitting for them.
