Dog walkers in Scottsville, VA
I fell in love with animals while working at a vets office my senior year in high school. It persisted of walking, grooming, feeding dogs and cats. Over a year I left the office to join the Army and my spot had been filled when I returned so I heard about Care. com and decided to give it a try.
