Founder & Staff

Cheryl Wilson is the founder and owner of TLK Pet Care.

Cheryl

Established in 1989, Cheryl created a professional pet care and dog walking service based on trust, reliability and most importantly, focusing on the improvement to a pet’s health. Whether it is through personalized pet care, exercise or education, improving a pet’s life is Cheryl’s passion with over 30 years of experience in the animal health care field.

Cheryl earned a BS degree in pre-vet studies at Suffolk University in 1983

Then Cheryl had the fortunate experience working and training under Dr. Thomas Cusick at the Watertown Animal Hospital.  Cheryl gained 13 years of animal medical experience as a Veterinary Technician and then manager of the hospital. With other covering Veterinarians at WAH, Cheryl gained a wealth of education in animal medicine, animal behavior and the education of running a successful business with integrity.

Also added to Cheryl’s resume, was the certification of the instructor level for Pet First Aid/CPR by the Massachusetts Red Cross.

Cheryl is a lifelong Watertown resident and is deeply interested in the pet related causes in the area.

TLK Pet Care supports the Cat Connection Rescue, MSPCA, Ellen Gifford Cat Shelter and the Watertown Dog Park Task Committee that helped get dog parks set up in Watertown for the first time.  Other organizations Cheryl personally likes to support are Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, and the World Wildlife Federation. Each year Pet Sitters International. conference picks a different animal shelter in need of support and TLK Pet Care is one of many professional pet care companies to donate to these worthy causes.  Thousands of dollars have been raised to help pets in need.  In 2017 animals in need from Hurricane relief was the main focus.

A strong advocate for adoption, Cheryl’s pets are her 3 cats Hope, Mugsy and Milo and her dog Ben.

“The most rewarding part of my profession is being able to detect and inform an owner of their pets potential health problems, by the symptoms that may get over looked. This may make all the difference for a pet’s health if taken to the Veterinarian in time and put on a treatment plan for the best possible outcome.  Cheryl strongly advocates for new dog owners to get involved with training and proper exercise for their dog.  Seeing that dog and their family have a happy relationship is a success story every time.”
