Dog walkers in Crimora, VA
I love animals, long as they are friendly. I have had a dog at home my whole life. We started out with dalmatian and then got a boarder collie and now my parents have a Jack Russel dog. I have had a cat for few years now and he is an outside and inside cat. I have helped neighbors, friends and family with their animals.
