Charming Mexican Home with Two Loving Dogs and Mountain Trails Close By
Introduction
We are Hannah (redhead) and Kim (brown hair) married since 2021 and ex-housesitters turned pet owners in need of sitters :) We both work online and currently live in Guanajuato, Mexico after having traveled individually and together for years. We have two loving Mexican rescue dogs, Essy (25kg) and Nando (10kg).
Show more...Home & location
We live in a quiet, two-bedroom rental house with a small garden, a sunroom, an office, and just a 5-minute walk through a quiet neighborhood to beautiful, mountainous trails for dog walks. Our home has typical Mexican features with brick walls, a fireplace, and arched doorways. You will stay in a cozy bedroom with a queen-sized bed and lots of natural light looking out into the sunroom and garden. The office also has an extra pull-out sofa if needed. The city center is an approximately 30 min walk (downhill) or a 10 min drive away - there is a car available, which you can use. There is a grocery shop (Soriana) a 7 min walk or 2 minute drive away where you will also find a large pharmacy and a couple of cute restaurants (+best pizza in town). Note: The house is on a steep road and the city is very hilly so a good fitness level is necessary.

- Take dogs on morning walk (20-60 min) - Take dogs on afternoon/evening walk (60+ min) - Feed dogs (breakfast & dinner) - General tidiness of house & indoor plantcare We have a cleaner come once a week for 4 hours who cleans and helps around the house (laundry, cooking, etc) so no need for any chores here. There is also a gardener who comes once a month. A few words on Essy and Nando: Essy or Eperanza Perra Loca Dixon Gorchs (:D) as we call her is a noble, kind soul who LOVES all humans - think total social butterfly. Her favorite things are belly rubs and playing with her toy. She is on the large side of mid-sized and has a lot of energy and needs her walks where she has time to sniff and explore. As much as she loves exploring she also loves sleeping and resting in the sun all day. She can get a bit too excited sometimes so she needs clear boundaries when it comes to saying hello to all her friends. Nando or Nandito the Bandito is a little sneakster. He decided we were his family when he followed Kim and Essy home on a walk one day. Nando is a total cuddle bug and needs lots of love. His favorite thing is burrowing under a blanket in your lap. As an ex streetdog, he can be a bit wary of other dogs and we are still working on his leash training. When out and about he thinks he still needs to make sure he is safe and in control - we call him our little policeman - so because of that he needs clear but calm boundaries and a feeling of being safe with his human companion. However, with his 10kg he is very easy to handle.
