I grew up with many dogs and as a grad student I miss having them around. I strongly believe that dogs make life better, so spending time with your furry friend would be amazing! I am now a lecturer at UM without the space for a dog if my own, but I'd love to spend time with yours. I have a very flexible schedule that I can work around a dog's needs to spend more time at home with them when boarding. My teaching schedule varies, but I can frequently work from home or come back between classes to walk a dog. I am a runner training for ultra distance, so would happily take your dog out for a few runs, if they are up for it.
