House sitting in Mexico

Does exploring Mayan ruins, hiking some of the world’s most epic scenery and tasting your way through a country known for its bold flavors, rich spices and seriously fresh ingredients call your name? We can’t say we blame you - house sitting in Mexico (AKA the birthplace of chocolate), is certainly one for the bucket list for adventurers, food lovers, and of course, pet people.

And with pet parents all over the country in need of an animal lover to care for their furry fam while they’re away, there’s never been a better time to explore Mexico.

So, how does it work? It’s simple - pet lovers like you explore the globe, caring for the pets in it and get a place to stay in return. Yup, that’s discovering the world for less and the company of pets, everywhere you go.

Here’s to happy pets, and animal filled adventures - take a look below to discover what you could be getting up to during your Mexico house sitting adventure.

Beach life

Nothing quite measures up to letting a furry friend run free at the beach - and what better way to bond with your new pals than letting them lead the way to their local beach-side hangout?

By exploring TrustedHousesitters’ Mexico house sitting opportunities, you could be discovering South America’s white sands, warm waters and postcard-worthy beaches.

And luckily for your new fluffy friend, there are heaps of dog-friendly beaches in Mexico, including Lands End at the Baja Peninsula (home to the famous El Arco), Cancun’s Isla Blanca, La Ropa beach in Zihuatanejo, Paradise Beach in Tulum, Playa Linda in Veracruz, and Chachalacas (which is also a popular surfing spot).

Wherever you secure your house sit in Mexico, there are sure to be dog-friendly beaches nearby. Just be sure to double check their canine opening times, and whether you’ll need to keep your pup pal on a leash.

Dog-friendly Mexico

Something you’ll love about house sitting in Mexico is staying in local neighborhoods and finding nearby spots to frequent with a furry pal by your side.

And luckily for your new canine companion, there are a fair few cafés and eateries that’ll welcome them with open arms. Yup, you could be sipping away on a local brew around the corner from your stay, with your furry buddy tucking into her regular from the canine menu.

And as a great place to meet like-minded animal lovers who are sure to share tips on the best nearby spots, we highly recommend you check out your local dog-friendly eatery.

So if you’re house sitting in Mexico city, swing by Bago café or give San Miguel’s Lavanda café a try, or stop at A Page in the Sun if you’re house sitting in Puerto Vallarta - a bookstore and café in one.

And for a spot that really goes the extra mile, be sure to check out the Coffee and Pet's Deli in Guadalajara where they’ll create a pooch face in your cappuccino foam.

And like with many of our popular house sitting locations, Mexico isn’t short of canine-centered meet-ups and walkies groups that are great for getting to know nearby pet parents and sitters alike, so be sure to give local meets a look once you’ve secured a sit.

The same can be said for dog parks - during your house sit in Mexico, why not track down your nearest area to let your furry pal run free? If you’re house sitting in Ajijic, head to Tobolandia Dog Park, or Yolihuani Park in Mexico City.

Hiking and walkies

If your house sit in Mexico involves taking care of a four-legged companion whose pastimes include walkies, games of fetch and sofa snuggles, then finding the area’s best spots to get outdoors will be on the top of your agenda.

And with a whopping 67 national parks in total, you won’t be short of choice when it comes to hiking with your furry friend in Mexico.

National parks and nature reserves in Mexico with dog-friendly trails include Cumbres del Ajusco National Park, Cumbres de Monterrey National Park, Reserva Estatal Monte Alto and Parque Ejidal San Nicolás Totolapan (and many more).

And before heading out, be sure to check out the area’s dog-safe hiking trails - then it’s leads, collars and doggy bags at the ready for a day in the country’s sanctuary of mixed forests and grasslands.

Tacos, tamales and street food tours

Mexico house sitting means a whole lot of eating - the country is bursting at the seams with sizzling taco fillings, spicy salsas, ultra fresh fruits and a whole lot more. And you don’t have to worry about leaving your furry friend at home - Mexico’s street food scene means they’re welcome to trot alongside you, every (paw)step of the way.

Take street antojitos for one - directly translating to ‘little cravings’, this famous street food encompasses a whole host of delicious morsels (that you’ll need to make sure Fido doesn’t swipe!).

Street antojitos come in all shapes and sizes with countless toppings and fillings, but some of the most popular include tacos, tlacoyos, gorditas, memelas, sopes and so, much, more.

And if history is your thing (and you love to eat, naturally), find a spot for some authentic tamales - a dish that dates all the way back to the time of Aztec, Mayan and Inca civilisations.

Or, play it safe and get a taste of some local guacamole - it’s said to have been made by the Aztecs, too. And for something on the adventurous side, try nopales - young cactus leaves that have been eaten for centuries in South America in soups, salads and stews.

And while you’re getting to know local Mexican fare, remember that our canine companions and feline friends can’t eat the range of the fruits, vegetables and spices that we humans can - so keep your tamales to yourself.

Local festivals

While a central part of Mexican culture is certainly the food, you can equally get a taste of the country while you’re house sitting in Mexico by checking out a local festival.

Mexico is a country that loves a street festival, so while well-known celebrations like Día de Muertos, Independence Day and Guelaguetza Festival are great, be sure to check out any lesser-known cultural events you hear about from locals at the dog park or your nearby dog-friendly café.

Art and archaeology

House sitting in Mexico is perfect if you’re an art lover or you enjoy learning about cultures gone by. Head to the five-story Museo Jumex for contemporary art and cultural events. The MoMA of Mexico is home to works by Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons and Gabriel Orozco.

And the Frida Kahlo Museum is another must-see if you’re house sitting in Mexico City. The collection is housed in Kahlo's own home and displays her photographs, furniture and art - an impressive collection for sure.

And for a more contemporary collection, visit Kurimanzutto, where you’ll find post-nineties Mexican art.

And for a slightly older art form, be sure to check out the country’s archeological sites if you’re nearby. From the world-famous Chichen Itza - a Mayan site thought to have been built between 600-750 AD, to Tulum, a pre-Columbian Mayan walled city and Edzna, it’s safe to say that Mexico isn’t short of historical attractions to marvel at.

And rest assured, if you’re dog sitting in Mexico, you can take your new pal along to some of Mexico’s ancient sites, including El Tepozteco. The archeological site is perched at the peak of a mountain, so bring energetic pups along for the climb.
