Belinda just finished a 3 week housesit for us and we would recommend her to anyone without reservation. The house was spotless when we returned and our plants looked healthier than they were when we left! She is a lovely person as well!

I would highly recommend Jordyn to house sit and/or pet sit at your home. First and foremost for me, is it that I don't have to be concerned about my two beloved cats while I'm traveling. It was crystal clear to me that after I met her that I hadn't worry about that. She is a responsible person who works remotely who is both conscientiousness and attentive to the needs of her own personal career as well as those of your pets and home. One of my cats can be a bit demanding to be fed in the mor... Continue Reading

It was crystal clear to me that after I met her that I hadn't worry about that. She is a responsible person who works remotely who is both conscientiousness and attentive to the needs of her own personal career as well as those of your pets and home. One of my cats can be a bit demanding to be fed in the mornings, and she handled that situation like a pro showing him who was in charge. The other likes her own space which was granted to the extend needed. She even warmed up to Jordyn some which is unusual in most circumstances. I definitely had the sense too that Jordyn lived in my home like she would in her own as a respectful, quiet, clean, and caring inhabitant. She also contacted me if she had a question which was highly appreciated. I'm hoping that she will be available to stay her during my future travels, if you haven't already booked her first!

Buddy (and Zephyr and Dea) have a lovely home in San Jose Cosala at Lake Chapala! Zephyr loves to eat and ask for cuddles. If you're not paying attention to him he'll give you a paw and ask for a pet. Dea likes her space whether inside or outside. Both are low-key and will ask to go outside and come inside (or if it's Zephyr he'll ask for *more* food). Their home is great and relaxing with a great view to the lake. It's wise to bring a car as it's quite a hike up the hill and about 10-15 mins... Continue Reading

It's wise to bring a car as it's quite a hike up the hill and about 10-15 mins car drive to Ajijic. The area is very quiet too. Buddy is super generous and wants to make sure you're comfortable and get familiar with the area and his friends if you need help while he's away. His home and pets are lovely and you'll enjoy your time there!

Bonnie did a fabulous job as a house sitter for us. We didn’t have any pets, but we did have plants on our roof that needed tending to, as well as a tall schefflera tree in our house. I had already departed when Bonnie arrived so my husband showed her the plants and what needed to be done while we were away. She was an excellent communicator about any issues that came up while we were gone. And when we came back home, she had left us some little treats, candies and handmade soaps. Very th...

Bonnie did a tremendous job as a house sitter for us. We have a high-maintenance vegetable and flower garden on our roof that needed tending to, as well as a two-story schefflera tree within our house underneath a large roof window, and surrounded by dozens of shade-loving plants. She took excellent care of everything and the plants thrived when we were gone. She kept in good communication with us while were gone. Her Spanish seems excellent. She created a good rapport with our housekeep... Continue Reading

Great house and pet sit. Keith and Jan welcomed me in their lovely home and I felt comfortable right away. They took me around their beautiful little town to make sure I knew where stores and services are and made sure I knew all the details about the house including providing contact information for local service providers. Their three dogs Africa, Heidi, and Carson were a treat to sit for. All very well behaved dogs that loved running down the streets on our daily walks. The neighborhood i... Continue Reading

The neighborhood is about a half a mile to the town and is very quiet. Ixtlahuacan de los Membrillos is about an 1.5 hours by bus from Guadalajara and 15 minutes to Lake Chapala. Grab the bus in the main square and go find a little half-day adventure!
At the end of my sit I had another one lined up just a few miles away and they graciously drove me to it. I would happily sit for Keith and Jan again if our dates match up.

Bonnie sat for our three pups and took great care of our home. Excellent communication. Able to problem solve and the dogs were happy and healthy upon our return. Highly recommend.

We can wholeheartedly recommend Rog, Jane and their dog Butchie. We would sit for them again. Before leaving they took us to dinner, left detailed instructions and area recommendations, and were easily contacted. Butch is a sweet, amazingly healthy older terrier who required little care other than love, food and periodic walks in the community grove. Their house is modern and comfortable with a stunning rooftop view. They live in a quiet area with lovely neighbors, and are within a reaso... Continue Reading

This is a dream house/pet sit!

What a lovely, bright and personable woman! Loves animals, organized, neat and tidy. Barbara and I became good friends. Wine, music and love of travel are common interests. I do hope we meet up again - whether or not she continues house/pet sitting! I miss her and so do my pets!

BEST house/dog sitters ever! Jeffrey & Barbara are such a great couple. They came by the day before to meet our little dog, Butchie. He immediately adored them and sat in their laps. They sent us photos several times while we were away, which was reassuring. We felt so comfortable leaving both our dog and apartment in their capable hands, they've been international teachers (back in the day), and have lived in many foreign countries like Saudi Arabia and India, so we knew they could handle Me...

They sent us photos several times while we were away, which was reassuring. We felt so comfortable leaving both our dog and apartment in their capable hands, they've been international teachers (back in the day), and have lived in many foreign countries like Saudi Arabia and India, so we knew they could handle Mexico. It was their first trip to San Miguel de Allende, and they fit right in, making friends with our neighbors, discovering our great city and ended up staying on for a while at another house sit. Oh, and we came back to a bouquet of flowers and a lovely handwritten note. DEFINITELY will use them again, if they're available.

Had a wonderful week house & pet sitting for Rita & Bryan! Their sweet cats Gato & Lovey are a joy. Their home is beautiful too. Rita & Bryan were very very welcoming, super communications before, helpful local tips & routine details when arrived. Their home and routine are very well organized. Super safe neighborhood. We stay in touch and I’m in a 2nd sit for them now. Lovey’s on my shoulder while I write this review. Grateful that Rita & Bryan were my hosts for my first stay in San Miguel d... Continue Reading

Thanks to HouseSitMexico.com we are now housesitting 7-8 months out of the year, but for the same two houses. It’s amazing how many people have never heard of the concept of free housesitting. Some of our friends in Zihuatanejo (with a large house) said that they’ve found that their “free” house sitters do a much better job than those they hire and pay. So another good aspect for homeowners to know.
