I am currently a grad student at BU and away from my pup at home! I grew up with an Australian Shepherd--super high energy breed and understand the importance of exercise and mental stimulation for a happy, healthy (well-mannered) dog! Through the years, Max was sure to tag along on most family trips, including a cross-country adventure (New York- Colorado and many more). With the passing of 13 yr old Max this year; we have welcomed a new Aussie (now 4 months old!) Puppy-geriatric, I have become familiarized with the unique needs each stage of life presents. In addition to my dogs, I have cared for several neighbor's/friend's dogs in recent years. Relationship building, patience, consistency and positive reinforcement are key to my interactions with any dog. With an established, trusting relationship, I look forward to offering pets as many adventures our world has to offer them!
