Availability

Walks & Drops ins: I have experience walking most breeds and am familiar with all types of collars, harnesses, halters and leads. I always use a safety clip or additional slip lead so there is no chance of your dog backing out of their collar. I am available for drop ins (for dogs, cats, and horses/farms, playtime, potty breaks, walks, yard play or feeding). Photos, videos, and a full update will be sent after each visit. I offer drop in visits for Friendly pets only. On vacation and need someone to sit with your anxious pup while you’re out to dinner or exploring? I do that too.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very attentive and make sure to close and secure all gates/doors properly and give the safety of your pet my full attention. I try to remain calm and neutral around new dogs, read body language and keep stress to a minimum. I will leave your home just as clean and secure as you left it.

Information Melissa T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any resource guarding issues, and how they behave/socialize around other dogs and people. What will they do if a dog runs up to us while out on a walk? Rabies vaccine certificate is mandatory. Meet and greets are the best way to start!

A typical day

Working on special commands? Bring your treats out and I’ll try to get a few sessions in throughout the day or on our walk. Please let me know if there are house rules you’d like them to follow during my visit and I’ll make sure to keep them consistent. I can provide care for dogs, cats, horses, and small animals.

Melissa did an absolutely fantastic job! She came exactly when she was supposed to. She went above and beyond for my dogs cooper and Bennett and they are extremely happy! Will definitely be using her again!

Melissa is great! We met her through the Pocono Pack Walk that she organizes and she is the first person we have had walk Lena ever because we are so careful since Lena is dog selective/reactive.
