I’m sure you want to know all you can about the person you are thinking of leaving your fur baby with. I am Very transparent, as you will see as you read on….

The Reader’s Digest version:

I am a business entrepreneur who loves animals.

The long version:

I have been an entrepreneur since age 18, selling Cutco cutlery and going on to become a District Manager with Vector Marketing upon graduating from Assumption College.

From there I worked with Crown Linens and Uniforms for 2 years before becoming an Orthotic Fitter. Here, I found my passion: working with the geriatric population and those with special needs. After being a rep for 2 years, I became a Regional Manager with that company before venturing out on my own.

I started Orthotic Solutions in 1996 after becoming a Medicare provider and accredited by The Joint Commission. When I closed it March of ’21 due to constant Medicare changes, audits, etc., I had 4 office personnel and 8 fitters. It broke my heart. We had become the #1 provider of diabetic footwear in the state and diabetics had no where to turn.

I started working as an independent contractor with Quantum Medical, a national provider, continuing to provide diabetic shoes. Then I was approached by a Rehab company to, in essence, recreate Orthotic Solutions. Things were going wonderfully until a tragedy struck the owner’s family Dec, ’21 and it all came to a halt.

It was time to figure out what my true passions were and figure out what type of work made me happy…and Buck Teeth Boarding (“BTB”) was born.

I have always had a love of all animals. At one point, my dining room was blocked off and in it were 2 bunnies, 2 hedgehogs and 5 Guinea pigs!!! Add that to a dog and a cat and I had my hands full. I loved all of my critters and they all lived a great life; however, after they crossed the rainbow bridge one by one, I decided to stick to just a dog and a cat.

BTB started out the gate quickly and I was loving every minute of it! But I was getting calls daily from diabetics in need of shoes, so I reached back out to Quantum and in Sept, ’22, I began working with them again! In August ’23, we opened Quantum’s first ever satellite office in Bridgewater! Preparing for that was a lot of work, but it is up and running smoothly thanks to my previous office manager who operates it!

Now I get to work in the 2 areas close to my heart!!! Taking care of animals AND seeing patients- both from Home!

I am learning something every time I take on a new pup making me more selective in who I choose for boarding. Safety is my # 1 priority, so ensuring I know which dogs will be here together is of utmost importance! We don’t want any rumbles- just fun, play and safe socialization! I always joke around saying my number 1 rule is “keep them alive…anything beyond that is a bonus”. And it’s True!

Where did the name “Buck Teeth Boarding” come from?

I get asked this question a LOT!

The short of it is that I missed my little rodents and a friend who has 2 bunnies suggested that I offer boarding for them, along with dogs! I figured out quickly that most people just have a neighbor go in check on them from time to time…and all I was getting is requests for dogs, so I chose to just stick with pups- but keep the name!
