About My Business

My name is Carole and I've been providing petcare since 2003, mainly in Melrose, Ma and the towns next to it, Malden, Stoneham, Wakefield, and Saugus. I provide walks, overnight petsits, and transportation to/from groomer or vet.

Walks are 20 mins, in your neighborhood, or if there’s a park nearby, will go over there to walk around. Some clients are daily, some a few times a week, and some are walked on an as needed basis.

For cat petsits, will provide plenty of petting if your cat wants it, and for dogs, I stay at your house overnight. Some dogs are more comfortable in their homes then at a kennel, so I’m here to provide that service. And yes, it’s fine if the dog sleeps on the bed with me if that’s what they’re used to doing, just please, don’t hog the blanket.

I’m insured and bonded, and have experience giving medication to cats and dogs, and I do believe the person who invented pill pockets should get some sort of award.

My goal is to provide your pet with a caring, secure environment, and doing what’s best for the pet. They provide us with care and affection, and we can provide the same for them.

I'll also water your plants - with a disclaimer that I no longer have a green thumb, take in the mail, take out the trash, alternate lights. I even had a client whose dog was afraid of thunderstorms and she'd sing to him, so that's what I did, and let me tell you, I don't have much of a singing voice, but it helped the dog.
