Hi there! My name is Melissa and I am a work-from-home consultant. My family trains and breeds English Pointers as bird hunting dogs back home in northern Illinois so I've taken care of dogs my entire life. I started sitting with Rover in March of 2016 and it has been such an enjoyable experience. We have a friendly chocolate lab who is in her lazy lab era. She is obsessed with a ball and generally ignores other dogs if there’s a ball around to play with. On the weekends, I have taken some of the pups hiking, climbing, on long walks around the neighborhood, or to dog parks. If your pup is older or doesn't like being active, our home gets plenty of natural light and has a back porch for sunbathing. Thanks for checking out my profile and I look forward to meeting you and your doggo!
