We highly recommend Taylor & Mihai. We have been very impressed with the house sitters that we found on this site. Taylor and Mihai are a blessing to meet. They hearts are big and wonderful. They cared for our chihuahua and 2 street dogs during the week we were away. When we returned home, everything looked good. We appreciate their charisma and love of animals.

Paula + Reed were very welcoming, warm, and helpful. They gave us a tour of the city centre, which has a beautiful, large newer Plaza and an older, more traditional Plaza a block away. The 2 dogs, Nina + Elly were great companions and were not overly-demanding or "spoiled". They did not require walking, as they could run around in the large walled yard. Elly + Nina added so much to the enjoyment of our stay in this beautifully designed and appointed home. Reed + Paula are environmentally ... Continue Reading

Elly + Nina added so much to the enjoyment of our stay in this beautifully designed and appointed home. Reed + Paula are environmentally conscious and do all they can in that regard. I particularly appreciated the beautiful natural fibre textiles everywhere in the home, and the almost complete absence of plastic! Also loved the gorgeous carved wooden furniture and all the numerous beautiful touches throughout. The light and sun filled upper storey was amazing. There was a massive open-air rooftop patio as well, with great views and lovely potted plants. A small courtyard off the kitchen was filled with light, warmth, and potted herbs. Another courtyard, off the library, contained the washing machine, drying lines, and more plants. Everything was sparkling clean, the gas stove was easy to use, the shower was hot, and the bed was very comfortable. The smart TV had Netflix, etc. and the wifi was good. There is so much to see and do in the lively colonial city of Pátzcuaro. Great restaurants, great street food, excellent food stores, vibrant local culture, and regular meetups with local expats for socializing and information-sharing. The Monarch Sanctuary is only a day trip away. A feature of the private, hilltop location of the home is the steep cobbled road down to the main road. We opted to use the inexpensive, readily-available taxis to come and go, which suited us just fine!

We had a great time house-sitting for David and caring for his two dogs, elder Wilson and young, gentle pup Dugui. He has an incredible historic home in a very central area of Puebla, making it very easy to walk to all the attractions. We fed and administered medicine twice a day, in the morning and evening, which made it easy for us to go out in between and enjoy some travel apart from our responsibilities. Caring for the house was minimal, we only needed to water the potted plants every two... Continue Reading

We fed and administered medicine twice a day, in the morning and evening, which made it easy for us to go out in between and enjoy some travel apart from our responsibilities. Caring for the house was minimal, we only needed to water the potted plants every two days or so which doesn't take long. Communication was great with David during our stay, even though we didn't get to meet him until after he returned and relieved us of our duties (his partner was there to greet us and show us the house and animal routine). It's a great opportunity to experience the wonderful city of Puebla and we hope we get to return someday to do it again.

Taylor & Mihai (Mike) housesitter February 12, 2023

I was fortunate to be invited to sit for Terry. His 4 dogs were so much fun , and of course each has their own personality.. Terry had written instructions that helped make for an easy transition. He has a beautiful and comfortable home in a very close knit community. Definitely made some friends from my stay there.

I simply can't say enough nice things about Taylor and Mihai. They were amazing! One of my dogs is 15 1/2, with a lot of medical issues - that means a special diet and feeding regimen, medicines, supplements, etc. But they handled it all with aplomb, while also giving his little sister lots of TLC. They were in constant communication before and during my vacation, and they sent updates and photos while I was away. They also took very good care of our garden.

Elizabeth’s place & fur babies were a pretty easy sit. The animals (small/older dog & 2 kitties) were hilarious, you could set a clock by what they thought their feeding schedule should be ? Even with the meds & meals, Elizabeth was very prepared & clear with instructions. The property was quite lovely. The garden was easy to water. House upkeep was a breeze, as Elizabeth had a pool guy & housekeeper. It was a wonderful time in a beautiful area. The Wi-Fi was good for Dave’s daily zoom calls... Continue Reading

The Wi-Fi was good for Dave’s daily zoom calls but not so much for me to join, not sure if that was a device limitation or a proximity issue, either way Dave’s job was the priority & it worked really well for that.

Nicholas took care of our little dog Mimi for a week and did a great job. He provided daily updates as requested, bonded well with Mimi, and was a perfect house guest. Highly recommended!

Angela is the most amazing person who took great care of my dogs, house, and personal household needs. I had to stay an extra three weeks due to some personal unexpected business, and Angela was so helpful and arranged to stay and take care of everything. She was so caring and compassionate. My fur babies were glad to see me, however, they were very happy around Angela. I would highly recommend her, and hope she is able to care for my dogs in the future. Angela is a gem!

Alan occupied and took care of our house for about 2 weeks in Jan 2023. We didn’t have any pets to take care of, just plants, and wanted someone in the house while we were gone. We found him at the last minute because our pre-arranged house sitter had a medical emergency and we had only a few days to find someone else. We are very grateful that Alan stepped up right away and agreed to housesit. Alan, thankfully, has a lot of experience traveling and was already familiar with San Miguel d... Continue Reading

We are very grateful that Alan stepped up right away and agreed to housesit. Alan, thankfully, has a lot of experience traveling and was already familiar with San Miguel de Allende. So he didn’t need much orientation. And he did a good job with the plants. Alan is a pleasant, conscientious, considerate and intelligent young man. We hope to see him again during his travels.

They were good communicators and we went over everything the night and morning before they left and they also were available if I needed to ask questions while they were away. The house was great, clean, tidy and easy to care for. The plants were easy to maintain and the house mostly looked after itself. A big plus was the internet – fast and reliable which was perfect for my teaching online. I really enjoyed and appreciated staying at Joy and Brad’s. As a bonus, they have a great whole house water treatment system and the drinking water purification system was also excellent. Lovely, interesting, kind people – if you get the chance to sit for them, don’t hesitate!
