I grew up with dogs in my household including an english springer spaniel, husky/mix, and a boston terrier. I have volunteer experience and did dog behavior/leash walking training with SICSA shelter and am currently a Dog Transporter Volunteer. Two of our dogs were sadly abused before they came to our house, so between our own family dogs and the dogs at the shelter, I have experience dealing with timid/previously abused dogs. I also run long distance and have experience running with dogs (good or bad on leashes). I can run up to 5 miles depending on what your dog needs. I also have two sweet cats and experience with cat-sitting. I love to play, run, and just be lazy with dogs. I love all dogs from weeks old to years old. I am currently a PhD student at Florida Tech. I am available weekdays in the mornings to mid afternoon (when I teach and have my classes). I'm also available most weekends.
