Thank you for the opportunity!

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

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 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!

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.

Lindy & Benjamin housesitter December 15, 2025

Courtney's the best! Our sometimes nervous cats were so at ease with her, she has very calming and assured energy! She is very easy going, independent, incredibly resourceful, easy to talk to, and kept the house in great shape while we were gone. We were very lucky and thankful to have found her for our trip away, we didn't worry about a thing! We loved seeing pictures of our cats lounging and enjoying their normal little routine without being timid or hiding away. We would happily welcome he... Continue Reading

Lindy and Ben were wonderful sitters … warm, friendly, helpful not just with my cats but in other ways. Poor Ben had to deal with a nasty possum that got into the property just before I returned home. I haven’t seen that animal since. I highly recommend them for both property and animal care.

We feel very blessed to have been chosen to care for Chester and Calle in Patzcuaro. My partner, Dennis, and I immediately connected with Henriette and Basil and we found that we have much in common. From the start, we had two video calls and we were invited to arrive early to meet the pups and get a feel for the home and responsibilities. We were entrusted with their vehicle in order to carry out the daily responsibilities of caring for and walking Chester and Calle and this gesture of trust... Continue Reading

× We feel very blessed to have been chosen to care for Chester and Calle in Patzcuaro. My partner, Dennis, and I immediately connected with Henriette and Basil and we found that we have much in common. From the start, we had two video calls and we were invited to arrive early to meet the pups and get a feel for the home and responsibilities. We were entrusted with their vehicle in order to carry out the daily responsibilities of caring for and walking Chester and Calle and this gesture of trust meant a great deal to us. The house had everything we possibly needed to feel comfortable and the kitchen was well-equipped to cook daily. After our morning walks, we often all sat together on the patio while I groomed both Chester and Calle as they basked in the sun. We would LOVE to return to care for Chester and Calle some day. We are SO grateful for the experience and the trust. Caring for Chester and Calle was a wonderful experience - they are adorable pups! We feel that we have made some wonderful new friends.

Lisa and Dennis took care of our house and dogs for five weeks while we were traveling. From the moment they arrived we felt confident leaving our dogs and house in their care and even though we were on the other side of the world we were never worried. There was good communication throughout and we came home to calm and happy dogs and a well cared for home. We appreciated the effort Lisa put in to help our newest rescue continue to adjust to his new home. They would be welcomed back anytim... Continue Reading

House-sitting for Elinor was an excellent experience. She left instructions and made sure I had everything I needed during the stay. Molly is a wonderful little dog—gentle, friendly, and full of personality. She likes long walks on the beach haha. The home is great and in a nice part of Baja. I would gladly sit for Elinor and Molly again and highly recommend them to other sitters.

Deb was a wonderful house sitter! My dog, Romeo, was well taken care of with lots of special attention in my absence. Deb was a delightful houseguest, very conscientious in taking care of the house and flexible in working with the circumstances that came up. I'd gladly recommend Deb as reliable, caring, and a good communicator.

Toni Housesitter and Home owner December 06, 2025

Wendy and Kenny were wonderful house and pet sitters. They are great folks, too! They took the time to send us updates on our dog regularly, and made sure they understood her needs and personality! She got lots of walks and attention. In addition, they went "above and beyond", as our house is for sale, and they readied it for several showings in our absence. That meant they had to adjust their schedules several times, and we really appreciated that. Kenny even fixed a plumbing problem ... Continue Reading

Staying at Toni's and caring for her pup, Romeo, was a lovely experience. I had a two-day lapse between a previous housesit and this one. Toni graciously invited me to stay at her house prior to her trip. I felt like I was staying in an Airbnb as her acts of kindness and hospitality were non-stop. Romeo was a love with his soft, white fur and cuddly personality. The location was perfect, in the midst of shopping and restaurants and so close to the Ajijic malecon. I totally enjoyed getting to ... Continue Reading

It was a pleasure to hang out with Roxy, the dog, and Sylvester, the cat for a week in Jan's lovely Mirasol home. Jan was very kind to pick me up at my Airbnb on the day of her departure. She then spent several hours with me to show me around the area, in particular Ajijic and the Lakeside Community Center where there are many classes and activities. She pointed out many restaurants and grocery stores so I would immediately know where to get food once she left. She also gave me a thorough run... Continue Reading

She pointed out many restaurants and grocery stores so I would immediately know where to get food once she left. She also gave me a thorough rundown of the ins and outs of her house and was available to answer questions by text when I needed her help. All of this made my stay so much easier as this was my first time in the Lake Chapala area. I would highly recommend this sit.
