This is the second time Andrea took care of Josie and Did a great job. She also had to deal with our driveway and the ice storm. She was communicative and flexible. Josie has a new friend!

Andrea took great care of our Australian Shepherd Josie. She sent photos and videos of Josie the whole time she took care of her. Josie loves to play ball and frisbee and Andrea gave her much attention and play time. We would definitely use Andrea again.
