Review: Wonderful, excellent, care for my animals
Rating: 5
Text: "I recently got a Cavalier Spaniel, and Andrea has been walking her twice a day. Andrea has also been willing to do a later afternoon walk when I need to stay late at work, and has taken care of my kitties when I needed to be out of town. Andrea is more than I could have ever hoped for! My animals love her, she is flexible, very easy to get in touch with, and I honestly feel so lucky to have found her. I now have a guilt-free life, thanks to her care and concern for my pets - which is great!"
