Meet the heart behind
Happy Tails
Melissa
Founder & Lead Walker
When Melissa's dog Benji was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, everything changed. The world got quieter. The walks got slower. And every single minute together became something she held onto with both hands.
Watching Benji fight — and beat it — Melissa felt something she couldn't unfeel: our pets pour every ounce of their short, beautiful lives into loving us. Unconditionally. Without hesitation. Without ever asking for anything in return.
Happy Tails was born from that experience. Melissa started this to give back — not just walks, but presence. Real, attentive, joyful presence — the kind your dog gives you every single day. Because they deserve nothing less.
“Benji taught me that love looks like showing up, tail wagging, every single day. That's exactly what I bring to every walk.”— Melissa

Tails wagging all

"Happy Tails has been a blessing! My anxious rescue Max transformed into the most confident boy after just a month of daily walks with Jess."
Amanda K.
Max, Golden Retriever
"We get daily photo updates and our pup literally runs to the door when she hears Jess coming. We wouldn't trust anyone else!"
Tom & Rachel
Bella, Frenchie
"The app makes scheduling so easy and knowing our pup is in great hands gives us total peace of mind. Worth every penny and then some."
