My first (2 week) HouseSitMexico assignment was for Joy and her pitbull, Rebel, in lovely San Miguel de Allende. Rebel is an older dog with poor eyesight. He is friendly with people and was very relaxed and affectionate with me from day one. Rebel is an easy going dog at home and a real trooper outside the house, who enjoyed his active one hour morning walks in a beautiful park just outside the city. A great workout for me too 🙂 He also liked the morning car rides and afternoon/evening stree... Continue Reading

She gave me all the necessary dog/house/car instructions in advance and her comfortable home is in a great "Centro" location. I would definitely do it again for Yoy 🙂 Thanks for the experience, MichaelMichael housesitter July 30, 2023
Cathie and Brian are wonderful. Our 13 year old dog is very shy around people she doesn't know, but she took to Cathie and Brian very quickly. We were very nervous because this was the first time we have left her since moving to Mexico less than a year ago. Seeing her respond to them was a huge relief. They sent us updates and photos. They are caring and considerate. Brian made sure our plants were watered and he and Cathie took care to cover our patio furniture when we had a downpour... Continue Reading

Their dog Doc was good company for our old girl. We would welcome them back again. I highly recommend them.Carla homeowner July 26, 2023
Taking care of Bodhi and Milo was a pleasure - what personalities! Mariah's home was comfortable, peaceful, and very convenient to most things. Mariah has a nice easy energy about her, and she was great with communicating - not too much, not too little. We met some interesting, friendly people right away, too, thanks to Mariah - and the dogs being a conversational piece. ;-0) There's a lovely park at the end of the street where the dogs can run free and chase the ball. Great sit!

I had the great fortune of caring for Canelo in Chacala, Nayarit. Canelo's mom, Jill, is exceptionally attentive. Jill provided a fully stocked home, complete with anything I could have needed for Canelo's care. I feel very fortunate to have been chosen to care for Canelo. I grew very attached to his noble and devoted nature. He is a sweet dog, very loving and obedient. I kept in touch with Jill regularly, updating on any needs for the home and Canelo's wellbeing. We had a lovely time tog... Continue Reading

It was a blessing to have this time with such a loving companion. Thank you, Jill and Canelo!Lisa housesitter July 25, 2023
Patrick is such a beautiful man! His energy is warm and authentic. You can expect Patrick to keep you posted well in advance of his arrival. I found this especially to have a huge calming effect on me during my preparations for my trip. Never before have I felt entirely confident and worry-free when entrusting someone with the care of my pets and home. I appreciated all the timely updates and often chuckled at his amusing descriptions of the cats antics. I’m quite certain my cats ... Continue Reading

Never before have I felt entirely confident and worry-free when entrusting someone with the care of my pets and home. I appreciated all the timely updates and often chuckled at his amusing descriptions of the cats antics. I’m quite certain my cats are still adjusting to his absence. He also very kindly added an efficient fly catching plant to my home which has made life here so much more comfortable! Patrick is simply an amazing guy who will take the best possible care of your home and pets! It was such a wonderful experience and so lovely to meet him too. Thanks ever so much Patrick!Michelle homeowner July 22, 2023
Marc & Paulette were great hosts. They invited me to come 2 days before they left and showed me around town, introduced me to Fiona and Brindle their 2 energetic and loveable dogs. They also introduced me to some of their neighbors in case anything came up that I might need help with. One couple showed me great Mexican hospitality by taking me to breakfast a couple times. With Alex and Hector’s help we discovered the story behind a crystal chandelier shaped like a ship in the church San Franc... Continue Reading

I had Bill & Lorraine house sit for us. They road their motorcycles from Canada. They arrived early to acclimate them to us, the dogs & the house & neighborhood. They are great people. We all got along nicely and had many conversations and a few meals together before we left on our trip & after we returned she had dinner for us waiting. Lorraine also left me some starter dough from some bread she made, very sweet. She also trimmed some plants back for me that needed help. The dogs beca... Continue Reading

What an amazing first sit in the San Miguel de Allende area! (Actually a bit out of the city yet still convenient, which suited us nicely.) Carla and Chet are fantastic, friendly, interesting, intelligent people, and the dogs - ohhh, we're smitten. We only took care of Zade this time but briefly met Roku and Concha, a couple of younger cuties. Everything about this sit was great, even when we needed to give Zade extra TLC during an extended thunderstorm - poor girl. Zade is an absolute sw... Continue Reading

Everything about this sit was great, even when we needed to give Zade extra TLC during an extended thunderstorm - poor girl. Zade is an absolute sweetheart. Los Labradores is, in our opinion, a gated community well-done - lots of healthy gardens and trees throughout, cafe, gym, pools, LIBRARY, daily shuttle to town, event center, DOG PARK, weekly farmer's market, quiet streets, friendly considerate people, very attentive guards, pickleball and tennis courts, trampolines... And adjoining el campo where sweet silence can be heard. Gracias, Carla, Chet and pups for providing an excellent beginning to our new life in SMA. :-0)Catherine & Brian housesitter July 21, 2023
Jonathan and Edith (2nd-time house/pet sitters for us) could not have been better or more reliable sitters during our recent 32 days away for our first trip back to Canada in five years. Their conscientiousness and their obvious love for our "M" family - our 16-month-old "kittens" (that word is no longer totally acceptable) - Misty and Maggy and our two 4 & 1/2-year-old dogs (sisters) Mazie and Mable were more than a little apparent from the very first time they met.

Jonathan, in particular, seemed to thrive on the relationship he quickly developed with all four. Further, the care given to all aspects of our home and property leaves us with great satisfaction in not having to worry about anything. Hopefully, with the concerns of the pandemic now retreating, we hope to have future opportunities for Jon and Edith and......we simply hope that the timing for our needs is in concert with theirs.Camaron R J homeowner July 20, 2023
Karen and Jeff are absolutely lovely, and generous hosts. Also their 2 dogs Nacho and Bonita, are adorable and very well behaved. The house is gorgeous, the neighbours are great, and it is a really quiet area to stay. The location is also great. I hope I will be sitting for them again in the future.

What wonderful experience it was to have these 2 absolutely lovely people watch our fur babies & our house. We fell immediately in love with them & it was so nice knowing everything was in the most capable & loving hands. We highly recommend them and honestly can't say enough nice things about them. You can't go wrong trusting them for anything. They now are dear friends.

We had Doug come and housesit for us. He did an excellent job watering my hundreds of plants, keeping the house in order & taking care of Brindle & Fiona; my two dogs.

We picked Doug up at the airport & had an enjoyable conversation riding back to the house. Doug came 2 days early to get him acclimated & make him feel comfortable before leaving. Offered to take him grocery shopping. Introduced him to a few neighbors nearby. Left him some books to read that he seemed interested in. Went with him into town (Central historical) on the local bus to show him around and show him where pharmacies are, stores & nearby outdoor restaurants to walk to in our neighborhood. Doug was able to see our friend, a dermatologist, while staying at the house. He went out to breakfast with some friends down the street a few times. Doug did run out of water while here, but we left him emergency money & my friends down the street stepped in to to help with calling a water truck. All got resolved pretty fast. All & All, Doug did a fantastic job & we'd be happy to have him return again. I highly recommend Doug if you are looking for a reliable friendly caring house sitter who loves animals. I know after driving Doug back to the airport, Brindle & Fiona were looking for Doug as they really took to him & would be happy to see him again. Happy to call Doug a "new friend" of ours & he is always welcome to come visit.Marc & Paulette Housesitter and Home owner July 19, 2023
