I recently moved to the area. I have happily taken care of both dogs and cats for many years now - in Los Ángeles, Philly and Charlottesville. I’ve volunteered at the Charlottesville ASPCA, walking shelter dogs, and love dogs and cats! I am an art instructor at an art school , a visual artist and a musician. On many days I work from home, so my schedule is flexible! I’m able to devote my attention to pets! I have a large yard where I can take pups out. There are nearby parks for walks and I have a car to drive to any of the local dog parks! I also love to run , and can run with your dog if he or she would like a workout I can take your pup to the James or to a creek on a hot day - for a dip ! When I have a dog in my care I love to make it the very best experience for them. If the weather is nice we can hang out in the yard together and dogs love this. i have a housemate who loves dogs , and i often play games w dogs indoors especially if the weather isn’t the best !
