Oksana and Raul were the answer to our prayers. Our regular sitter was unavailable and we wanted to spend Christmas with my sister in Puerto Vallarta. They arrived on time and took great care of our home and our two dogs/two cats. Since they arrived a couple of days early, we had time to get to know them and to show them our amazing hometown of Oaxaca -- at Christmas! We talked a couple of times while we were away but everything was always fine. They kept the house and pets in great shap... Continue Reading

From the start I knew I would love this sit. Not only was communication with Becky super friendly and inviting from the initial application but continued throughout the sit. She was so helpful with the area (apr. 2.5 km from the beach), transportation & aps and her home. The sit itself was wonderful, Playa is beautiful during the holidays and BOXA, ah, Boxa is an absolute joy and one of the sweetest dogs! She is such a happy girl, enjoys being playful at times, loves her walks (and not af... Continue Reading

The sit itself was wonderful, Playa is beautiful during the holidays and BOXA, ah, Boxa is an absolute joy and one of the sweetest dogs! She is such a happy girl, enjoys being playful at times, loves her walks (and not afraid to subtly let me know when it was time - and time for her treat when we returned) so she also kept me active as we journeyed through so many fun & energetic neighborhoods in the area a couple times per day, as well as the occasional errand. She gives great nose "boops" too. I would not hesitate to sit for Becky and Boxa again. Happy New Year.Courtney housesitter January 02, 2026
Valencia is very kind and conscientious, and I highly recommend her. She kept me up to date with photos of my cats, sometimes sitting on her lap. They liked her very much, I’m not sure they even cared when I got home! The house was spotless when I returned. I hope she’ll house sit for me again in the future.

November 20 to December 11, 2026 Michael and Janie were our first sit in San Miguel de Allende. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant introduction to this historical city. Their home is in a quiet neighborhood overlooking Central Historico. An excellent Mercado was in walking distance while good bus service or inexpensive cabs got us to very fine grocery stores. Coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants abound. We were spoiled with a very comfortable guest suite. A strong hot shower to... Continue Reading
November 20 to December 11, 2026 Michael and Janie were our first sit in San Miguel de Allende. We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant introduction to this historical city. Their home is in a quiet neighborhood overlooking Central Historico. An excellent Mercado was in walking distance while good bus service or inexpensive cabs got us to very fine grocery stores. Coffee shops, bakeries and restaurants abound. We were spoiled with a very comfortable guest suite. A strong hot shower took the chill off cool days. We enjoyed an excellent kitchen, beautiful furnishings and great office/TV room. Strong internet eased our daily work chores. At day's end their rooftop terrace was a perfect place for a sunset glass of wine. Jasper and CaliCat charmed us. They have found a caring couple in the perfect forever home and they know they struck gold. They followed us around like a pair of puppies. Jasper especially, is an insistent lap cat which we found quite comforting. CaliCat, the newest resident, is coming out of her shell and becoming very affectionate. Both have good toileting behavior. Jasper is recovering from a skin condition marked by red spots on his belly. He readily accepted twice daily applications of medicated ointment made easier by the distraction of a lick'n stick treat. His condition was markedly improved by the end of our three-week stay. Jasper and CaliCat are indoor cats with almost free reign of the house and outdoor terraces. Cat doors allow access to two terraces and a small garden. All outside spaces are screened for their safety. Michael and Janie are generous hosts. We connected minutes after we met and could have shared long conversations. As often happens, business came first. Written and verbal instructions were quite complete and they were very responsive to later questions. Excellent communication from two professionals. They are a concerned and caring couple devoted to their cats. We highly recommend this sit. SaM Devine and David Nelson “Your Devine House Sitters”SaM & David housesitter December 19, 2025
SaM & David were wonderful sitters. They bonded with, and loved on, our two kitties, and took exceptional care of them! One of our kitties needed 2x/daily medication on his belly, which they were terrific keeping up with, so that by the time they ended their 3-week sit, his belly was greatly improved. (thank you!) Two of the things that make SaM & David exceptional are their communication and preparation: they were eager to learn the details of our cat- and house-care, asking probing ques... Continue Reading

Two of the things that make SaM & David exceptional are their communication and preparation: they were eager to learn the details of our cat- and house-care, asking probing questions about the in's and out's of our home and the kitties' routines. They modeled for how best communicate with house/cat sitters, which we learned from and valued immensely. They even improved upon some of our cat routines! Regarding our sit start-and-end dates, their flexibility enabled us to plan additional family and medical time beyond our original agreement. We are grateful. They were proactive in reaching out to the next sitter who was going to be taking over, too, since we were still going to be out of town. They were hard-workers and enthusiastic to do whatever was needed. They were professional in every respect, our home was well taken care of, and we would work with them again in a heartbeat! Our only regret was not having more time to get to visit with this lovely couple.Michael & Janie Housesitter and Home owner December 19, 2025
I am so glad that I found Eric on this site! I arrived to find my dogs looking very well and happy! One of my dogs requires extra attention for feedings and bathroom breaks but he went the extra mile by cooking some foods that he knew that she was able to eat. He left my house clean and tidy and everything was in its proper place. He managed all the payments to the housekeepers and gardener. Although I told him to call me anytime, he figured things out and only contacted me when absolutely ne... Continue Reading

I had a great time housesitting for Kimberly. She was incredibly kind and welcoming, and even allowed me to stay a few extra days after my sit ended so I could save a bit of money while preparing for my next destination. Her home is clean and cozy, with beautiful paintings throughout. I would happily housesit for her again and hope our paths cross when I return to Ajijic.

Kerry and Rick are wonderful hosts! They are friendly, warm and always provide clear communication, before and during the sit, especially when it comes to the care of their two dogs and cat. Their home is comfortable and welcoming, and they are always quick to respond should any need arise. Their two dogs are cuddlers of love and their cat is a snuggler; you will be hugged by kindness by these three! In short, I enjoyed my time watching over their home and their 3 loved ones, and I feel lucky... Continue Reading

Housesitting for Elisa at Christmas holiday time was cheerful and spacious — a house filled with warm Xmas reminders — nutcrackers and beautifully ornamented lighted trees. Taco and Rosie were my two Chihuahua companions —- bonding with me quickly over Netflix. The baby grand was also special with a gorgeous and resonant sound.

Rachel is an excellent housesitter. From our first contact she was quick to respond and so reliable. If she’s available, choose her for the best pet and house care! Rachel stayed with our two dogs and cat during a difficult time in our lives. We had just moved to Mexico and were staying in an apartment with no yard and lots of stairs. Plus, our cat desperately wanted outside but we couldn’t let her because of traffic. Rachel kept her in and happy, plus gave excellent care to our dogs, one o... Continue Reading

Plus, our cat desperately wanted outside but we couldn’t let her because of traffic. Rachel kept her in and happy, plus gave excellent care to our dogs, one of which is scared of loud noises and there were lots of big booms happening that week. She worked really hard to keep them all happy and us informed. We feel so lucky to have met Rachel and had her love our pets for a week! We highly recommend Rachel for any house/pet sitting needs you have!Kerry Housesitter and Home owner December 16, 2025
Andreas home and her cats Nala and Kenji are lovely. Andrea is a neat lady with a beautiful kind demeanour. Assisting her was such a pleasure it was a perfect landing for us to be back again to Mexico.
