I desperately want a dog for myself, but I am putting myself through graduate school and can't afford one. I'd love the opportunity to take care of other people's dogs instead. I had a golden retriever and a westie growing up- they're very different breeds so I learned about large dogs and small dogs. I love all kinds of dogs. I also love to be outside and be active. I'd enjoy going on walks with your dog. I'm a graduate student, so my daily hours are flexible, meaning that I can stop in to walk your dog, can house sit, or can host a dog here while you are out of town. Charlottesville is also a dog-friendly city, so I'd be happy to take your dog with me on different adventures!
