Dog walkers in Alachua, FL
I love to walk dogs. I have experience walking my own dog, Mr Franklin. We have a lot of fun looking for great spots to sniff around. In addition to Franklin (24lb Schnauzer), I have experience walking a Husky. Totally different walk! I'd love to get to know your dog and offer my service as a dog walker.
