Ransom was a fun and easy midi-dachshund to sit for and, as a neighbor put it, "like a big housecat." He loves to play fetch, which is his primary source of exercise since he does not care for walks. Leaving during the day to shop or explore town is not a problem because Ransom does fine on his own between meals. Annette was very nice and kept in contact with us the whole month she was in Canada. She answered any questions or concerns we had as quickly as possible. The casita is attractive... Continue Reading
Ransom was a fun and easy midi-dachshund to sit for and, as a neighbor put it, "like a big housecat." He loves to play fetch, which is his primary source of exercise since he does not care for walks. Leaving during the day to shop or explore town is not a problem because Ransom does fine on his own between meals. Annette was very nice and kept in contact with us the whole month she was in Canada. She answered any questions or concerns we had as quickly as possible. The casita is attractive, modern, comfortable, and has a secure parking place for a vehicle. It is a mother-in-law style home partially attached to a larger home. The kitchen sink water is treated. Be aware that this house sit is best suited for someone with a vehicle, since it is 4-1/2 kilometers (2.8 miles) into Ajijic and the walk up to the bus stop on the highway is 400 meters (1/4 mile). Uber is not available in Ajijic and sometimes the taxis fail to show up as promised. The Wi-Fi is good enough to stream Netflix on your laptop and we participated in a quality one-hour Zoom call, but receiving cellphone calls or sending texts is sometimes not possible even with Wi-Fi calling. There is no over-the-air cell signal. There is a land-line phone. Annette and Ransom were great, and we would do this sit again, but next time we would rent a car.Bill & Cindy housesitter August 22, 2022
What a find, Tania was great in terms of staying in touch and keeping me up to date. And… she made my bed so perfectly, it was difficult to loosen the sheet. The house was spotless . I recommend Tania highly.

Mary Ann and CJ go out of their way to make sure they know the details of the house sit. The animals were comfortable with them quickly. When i came home, my house was very clean and my animals relaxed and content.

Jonathan and Edith looked after my house and dogs for two weeks and did a great job! I was on vacation on the other side of the world in a totally different time zone and I never worried about a thing. I liked knowing that my dogs had two people to care for them. Edith is Mexican and therefor fluent in Spanish and Jonathan has many years living in Mexico so I knew they would be able to handle any house or vet situation that might come up. Fortunately, none did. They stepped up to solve a pr... Continue Reading
Jonathan and Edith looked after my house and dogs for two weeks and did a great job! I was on vacation on the other side of the world in a totally different time zone and I never worried about a thing. I liked knowing that my dogs had two people to care for them. Edith is Mexican and therefor fluent in Spanish and Jonathan has many years living in Mexico so I knew they would be able to handle any house or vet situation that might come up. Fortunately, none did. They stepped up to solve a problem with CFE while I was gone, too! My dogs were happy and healthy when I got back, my house was clean and the plants were well-watered. I also appreciated that they kept their commitment to me even though they had some serious car trouble right before the housesit was supposed to start. They stayed in just the right amount of touch, too. I would totally have them back. Thanks Jonathon and Edith....Flash and Flower send their love!Sara homeowner August 17, 2022
Bill is an AWESOME dog and house-sitter! I highly recommend him for your dog-sitting needs. Bill stayed with our standard poodle, Penny, for about 5 days and she was so happy when we got home. Bill kept in touch with me throughout our trip (I love to know what's going on with my baby while I'm away!) and he sent pictures and stories about her, keeping my mind at ease. Bill told me that he took Penny on long walks and trips to play with other pups (he asked me before our trip if that was ok, o... Continue Reading

Bill is now our first call whenever we go out of town. He also took great care of our house, it was perfectly clean when we got back. Your pets will be very happy to be cared for by Bill!Tracy homeowner August 11, 2022
Gail and Doug did a super job taking care of my lab Coco while I was gone. They left my house very neat and we're waiting for me when I got home! I can't thank them enough for being so caring with Coco. Would have them back in a heart beat.

Carolyn is amazing! She's not only generous with her home, she has an abundance of information and she's more than willing to share it. Coco, is an absolute dream, she's loves attention and will con you out of a doggie treats in a heartbeat! We would love to sit for them again!

Gloria, Bella and their home are lovely! The house is both secluded and accessible. It is on a short dirt road and there are hardly any neighbors nearby. Yet, you could walk and be at the lake in 20 minutes, or you could drive and be in the town of Chapala in less then 10 minutes. Gloria is a very nice, accessible person who has decorated her home beautifully. There are a lot of unique artworks to admire.

Gloria is a very nice, accessible person who has decorated her home beautifully. There are a lot of unique artworks to admire. You will have everything you need for a quiet, relaxing stay or you can be very productive in the seclusion with the good internet, depending on your plans and needs. Bella is adorable! She is very calm and seemed to enjoy our early morning and evening walks. She loves being around people and will cry until you let her into your room, but once there, she relaxes and is very quiet. I would definitely go back to Gloria’s home. Highly recommended.Zinnia housesitter August 09, 2022
Jonathan and Edith are a wonderful couple, very down to earth. They are great to house sit for and really appreciated my help, even taking me out to lunch on the first day. The house is good for someone looking to get some work done in a different place. The neighborhood is quiet and away from all the hustle and bustle of downtown Ajijic and Chapala. For that reason, having a car is optimal, at least until the area's taxis are running at 100% again (no Uber and the pandemic shifted a lot of ... Continue Reading

For that reason, having a car is optimal, at least until the area's taxis are running at 100% again (no Uber and the pandemic shifted a lot of taxi drivers into other jobs). The pups are friendly, as are the cats, although Spot needed a couple of days to realize that his feeding schedule wasn't going to change.LEIGH housesitter August 09, 2022
We just completed an 18-day house sit with Sara and her incredible, well-trained, loveable dogs in Bucerias, Mexico. Having completed dozens of house sits with pets, we have never had such well-mannered pets such as Flower and Flash. I must admit they both stole our hearts and it was difficult to say goodbye. We must certainly give tribute to their master Sara, who is well organized and gave us explicit instructions on the details we needed to have a successful house/pet sit. Her home is l...

We just completed an 18-day house sit with Sara and her incredible, well-trained, loveable dogs in Bucerias, Mexico.

We must certainly give tribute to their master Sara, who is well organized and gave us explicit instructions on the details we needed to have a successful house/pet sit. Her home is lovely and spacious with only a short walk to the local beach, or hop on a bus for only 28 pesos ($1.20usd) and enjoy the many attractions of Puerto Vallarta. We would certainly count it a privilege to housesit again in the future, however, if our schedule does not permit, then you will enjoy your time in Bucerias should you be selected as a house/pet sitter for Sara.Jonathan housesitter August 08, 2022
Georgia was a joy to have in our house while we were traveling. I never felt more relaxed knowing she was caring for our cats because she would send us photos of them every day and they were clearly happy to have her in the house with them. Georgia is fun, adventurous, and independent which are qualities I value in someone traveling far from home and assuming the responsibilities of another. She never panicked at a brief power outage during a rainstorm or contacted us with simple things that ... Continue Reading

Georgia is fun, adventurous, and independent which are qualities I value in someone traveling far from home and assuming the responsibilities of another. She never panicked at a brief power outage during a rainstorm or contacted us with simple things that one could figure out and do for themselves. I would highly recommend her as a house sitter and would definitely have her back in my home again.Richard Housesitter and Home owner August 05, 2022
I had the genuine pleasure of cat sitting for Richard at his lovely home in PV. The cats are sweet and we became fast friends 🙂 The house is lovely, sitting on a hill in Centro in PV, a short walk to the Malecon. I enjoyed watching the sunset from the terrace every evening. I had a great rapport with Richard who provided me with thorough details of the home and cat routines. I would not hesitate to housesit/cat sit for Richard again. He’s a lovely gent!
