We first used Brenda when our family took a trip to San Diego and she exceeded our expectations in caring for our dog and cat.
In the past, we've used friends for pet sitting who were typically pressed for time and didn't spend a lot of time interacting with our pets beyond feeding them and taking care of their respective bathroom duty.
When we came home from San Diego, our pets actually seemed HAPPY and stress free and we definitely owe it to Brenda for giving them the love and attention they needed while we were away. This was especially true for our emotional, sometimes neurotic border collie mix who can be pretty sensitive to us being away. She was really great about giving us daily updates and put my mind at ease so I didn't have to worry so much about them while on vacation because I knew they were in good hands.
I would absolutely recommend her for pet sitting, and will gladly use her again in the future.
