We like Brennan and Mila but Mila is not around much, busy with her Kombucha business in Vista. That might just be during the busier summer season. Brennan is great with pets (my friend uses him often) but out of our 4 cats, I have one who does not particularly warm up to men as fast as women and another who just does not trust men and the two of them basically stayed downstairs the entire 9 days we were gone. They probably came up while he was asleep. He took good care of our hummingbirds and the cats but we would probably be better off choosing female pet sitters. The bed was stripped but the used sheets were left for us to wash when we got home. He did wash the towels and the rest of the house was clean. If your pets don't have a problem with males (my friend's pets really like Brennan) then he would be a good choice.
Kristen was fantastic! She came for a tour and to meet the dogs before the trip, which was helpful for all of us. She was very comfortable taking care of our geriatric, incontinent dog who takes medication twice a day and wears diapers. She was very communicative about the dogs and house. We would 100% recommend her and have her house sit again!
