Hi! My name is Tammy, I work from early morning to afternoon ( Monday through Friday) and was looking for something to fill up my empty time! I volunteer every other weekend at an animal shelter. I am used to being around dogs, meeting and greeting new ones, and taking them on walks and giving them baths. I have 4 pups of my own that my husband and I have trained! I love working with animals and meeting new ones are always fun! I’m pretty much available all week!

“Love them all!”
I love meeting new dogs and giving them a great time outdoors! My own dog is deaf and blind so I'm experienced with special needs dogs. I also foster for a local rescue so I'm also experienced with dogs of all backgrounds.

Dog Walking in St Albans
St. Albans in Kanawha County, West Virginia, lies at confluence of the Kanawha and Coal Rivers. It is a lovely spot to spend time with your pup, with many pet-friendly parks to explore close by. There are two animal hospitals in town, so you can rest easy knowing your beloved companion is in safe hands should he fall ill.
St Albans City Park, right in the heart of town, has a dedicated dog park you must visit.With two fenced sections dividing pups by size, everyone can feel safe and have a great time here. Waste bags are provided on site, but you will need to bring your own water and drinking bowl for your pet. Once your pooch is ready to go back on the lead, don’t hurry, spend some time walking around the paved trails in St Albans Park. Afterwards, stop for a picnic lunch under the shady trees or play a game of catch on the grass. There is also a playground here, as well as ball fields for the kids to enjoy.
With the
water so close, there is no shortage of opportunities for scenic walks. Take
you pup for an on-lead walk through town and down to the river, and seek out the
suspension bridge over the Coal River in the southern section of town which
provides a lovely photo opportunity too.
These are just a couple of things to do with your pet in Saint Albans. So, what
are you waiting for – go out and explore!

48Rosie the Riveter Park is a green strip of space between the road and the Kanawha River that is well-maintained and a lovely place to come for a walk along the water. A paved path extends along the river’s edge and there are benches to sit at that overlook the scenic waterway. Seek out the small memorial to the American women who worked on the home front during WWII, for whom Rosie’s is named. East along the river is the Roadside Park Port of St. Albans where you will find picnic shelters and grills, a playground and restrooms. Keep your pup on a leash here, especially as these parks are close to a busy road, and please clean up any mess he leaves behind.

0Wine Cellar Park in nearby Dunbar, just seven miles by car from Saint Albans, is a fascinating little park to visit. The main drawcard here are the old stone wine cellars from around 1860, built before the Civil War when the area had a thriving wine industry. No longer in use, these cellars pride an interesting glimpse into days gone by. They can be found on the opposite side of the road from the park signpost. There are also some beautiful nature trails here, a path from the cellars to the lake, a creek to explore and many lovely little groves to set down for a picnic. Keep your pet leashed here and always clean up after him. Bring bug spray in the warmer weather as the locals can be quite friendly!
