Dog sitters in Lorton, VA
I love animals. I have two dogs of my own and like to spend a lot of time with them. I like to take them out on long walks during my free-time. I have pet-sit before for cats and dogs but preferably like dogs more. I am friendly and outgoing and believe these two traits are awesome in order to make the animal feel comfortable.
