Description
Dates: 13th October - 1st November

Me and my husband Manuel will be away during this time, and we’re looking for someone to stay at our house and take care of our cats.

We have four cats who love being around people - they might come for cuddles or want to play with you sometimes. It’s enough to feed them in the morning and again in the afternoon. Occasionally, a few neighbor cats like to drop by too.

The rest of the time is completely yours! You don’t have to stay at the house all day, and there’s no fixed schedule.

Mérida is a great place to be - full of life, color, and great food. There’s always something to do or see around here, and it’s also a nice city just to relax and enjoy some quiet time.

I cannot recommend this family enough for their amazing help with our house sitting and cat care! They went above and beyond to ensure that my cats were well taken care of and happy while I was away. From feeding and playing with them, to cleaning up after them, they did it all with such care and attention to detail.

Not only were my cats in… read more

Vilamantas was a very nice and gracious host. I managed his listing while he was on Holiday. The work involved was minimum. Mostly receiving guests and cleaning between reservations. After Vilamantas returned, he offered me another house to stay for an additional month. I used this time to visit various beaches, ruins, pyramids, cenotes and other… read more

We had a comfortable bed, a basic kitchen and a shower with warm water. The house is located about 10 blocks from the main square in a real local area. We were able to get a… read more

Vilmantes and Manuel were both super friendly and great hosts. They are both great to talk to and my dog, Patch and I felt very much at home from the first day. They appreciated the work I did and communicated freely exactly what they wanted. I definitely recommend as your next workaway host.

We had the best time in Merida, the house was lovely and a very comfortable place to stay. We painted the garden walls and garage during our first week through work away, but loved it so much we stayed on another week as guests.
