I am so grateful to have met Maira and had her stay in my home with my animals and plants for 10 days. Maira is a lovely person with amazing communication skills. We checked in at least once a day and she was so sweet to send me pics of my pets and video chat with me from time to time. I came back to my home in perfect condition and she even gifted me her book which she wrote and is heartwarming. Would love to have Maira back and really enjoyed her company as well in the time we were together.

Our housesit at Gino and Linda’s home was very enjoyable. They welcomed us into their home and made us feel welcome. They thought of every possible way to make us feel at home and comfortable. We quickly formed a bond with them and all four dogs. Each dog has their own wonderful personality. It was a pleasure to take care of all four of them. The location was great with easy access to area stores and restaurants. Use of their Jeep was a big plus. We highly recommend housesitting for them i... Continue Reading

Mirna is the type of homeowner that 'sitters' dream about. She left clear, concise instructions about pet care. We appreciated that the house sit plans included overlap days on both Mirna's arrival and departure dates for orientation and later for some more get-to-know-you time. On arrival, we were introduced to her next-door neighbour and a close friend who lived nearby, both of whom checked in with us a couple of times to see how we were doing and if we needed anything.

X Mirna is the type of homeowner that 'sitters' dream about. She left clear, concise instructions about pet care. We appreciated that the house sit plans included overlap days on both Mirna's arrival and departure dates for orientation and later for some more get-to-know-you time. On arrival, we were introduced to her next-door neighbour and a close friend who lived nearby, both of whom checked in with us a couple of times to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. Her home was really taken care of by a woman who cleaned x3/week and a gardener who cared for the landscaping. Mirna called several times while away to do check-ins which we appreciated. She is so approachable that we felt we could contact her anytime. There were a couple of issues affecting the internet that Mirna attended to promptly and helped us arrange times for service people to come to the house at times that worked for both parties. We were made to feel very comfortable with closet and dresser space, a private bathroom, full use of the kitchen and living room, etc. Mirna left us suggestions of things to do and where to eat. While her home is within walking distance to Centro and other interesting neighbourhoods as well as a gallery, she left us a vehicle so that we could explore a little further away. Finally, Sofi is an adorable, well-behaved dog who is a pleasure to be with. We look forward to returning to Sofi and Mirna's home in a couple of months and are confident in recommending a house and Sofi-sit with Mirna to other sitters. As an aside, we truly loved San Miguel de Allende, such a lovely little city to spend some time in.

We were very impressed with Lynne and Elmo. We had regular updates and videos through what\'s app. Our dogs quickly adjust to their new family members including sleeping with them. We had some fairly new grass and some new plants that we asked if they could water while we were gone. When we got back everything was growing and looking great. The house was clean and tidy and Elmo even cleaned the BBQ! Everything went very smoothly and we would highly recommend them.

House & pet sitting for Evelyne & Bob was a fabulous experience. Their 4 small dogs are the cutest, I totally fell in love with them. Two of them always slept with me every night (Rudy likes to snuggle in under the covers) & Spot would choose between myself & my brother to sleep with. Their house is lovely & very comfortable. We had some internet issues at the start of our stay which was difficult for us working online, but we got it sorted & then it was fine for the remainder of our stay. Bo... Continue Reading

Bob & Evelyne are great as well, we loved connecting with them, they're inspiring! Their house is outside the city & there's nothing really around it. They had to take their car last minute to the States with them but thankfully at the end of their road, colectivos pass all the time so it was easy to get to the supermarket & back. Also a great fruit & veg truck passed twice a week so it was easy to manage once we got our bearings. We loved this sit & hope to be back to see/mind the doggies another time :-).

I just had my second experience with house sitters looking after my English Springer. Again it was a great experience. Paul and Linda stayed at my house for close to a month.

The hardest part was to say goodbye, we miss her sooooo much. We highly recommend this sit, we had such an amazing time at Carolyn's place with Coco. We would love to... Continue Reading

In February, as new members of HouseSitMexico, we posted our first ad for a sitter to care for our home in La Paz, BCS. Numerous excellent candidates applied, among them, Carol and Mike M., whom we ultimately chose. We recognize this has been a very difficult house sit position as the house is undergoing extensive renovations, our loaned vehicle has had some mechanical problems, and occasionally the household water system has faltered.

X In February, as new members of HouseSitMexico, we posted our first ad for a sitter to care for our home in La Paz, BCS. Numerous excellent candidates applied, among them, Carol and Mike M., whom we ultimately chose. We recognize this has been a very difficult house sit position as the house is undergoing extensive renovations, our loaned vehicle has had some mechanical problems, and occasionally the household water system has faltered. Yet, through it all, this couple have been cheerful, accommodating, and willing to extend themselves to be helpful and implement solutions. On every day of construction, when the chaos subsides and workers have gone home, these house sitters take photos of the day’s activities for our review. This process has been invaluable in helping us to identify and circumvent construction errors in the moment, saving everyone time and money. When the car was acting up, Mike undertook to work with our local mechanic to diagnose and correct the problem. Same goes for addressing water system failures. We know it is wretched to awake and discover you have no running water, yet this top-notch team did not even express their distress. Rather, they took it in stride and immediately set about curing the problem. In short, Carol and Mike are friendly, responsible and communicative. They have provided stellar service under difficult circumstances for which we are eternally grateful. We know we chose the right house sitters for us and can, without reservation, recommend them to you. You will not be disappointed!

They collected us from the airport and showed us around the town and some of their favourite haunts. That night we went for an excellent meal and began to get to know each other and became friends. They thoroughly explained what they wanted us to do to look after their house, gardens and cats and introduced us to the project manager who was overseeing renovations on the casa. (We lived in the casita). We instantly felt at ease and at home. Ken and Wendes are very flexible and will grant any reasonable request. They are generous people with big hearts. They are warm and funny, with great senses of humour, and are excellent conversationalists. They are calm, down to earth and trustworthy. The casita is beautifully stylish and highly functional. Despite being a “casita” it lacks nothing. There is an excellent range of local attractions, restaurants, taquerias and shops, one of which is 24/7, plus the usual large stores. 100% recommended.
