Dog-friendly places in Petersburg?

Been meaning to ask this. Crime rate is something to consider -Petersburg sits at 748.3 per 100K. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Am I overthinking this?

Weather-wise, the summers are excellent and winters are pricey. You get used to it after the first year.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.

If you value traffic, you'll love it. The food scene is genuinely decent and I've found it was the best decision I ever made. My neighborhood (Highland) is affordable and I feel safe walking around at night.

But if you're coming from New York, be prepared for the culture shock. dating scene is completely different here. And Rising rent and home prices.

My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Hot take but it's exactly what I was looking for. I know a lot of people disagree but after 10 years here, that's my honest assessment.
