It's time for me to open an illegal doggy daycare, not pay a dime of taxes and drive around in a non
registered commercial van with NH plates ... seems to be the NA way. So much for supporting small
businesses !

Good Afternoon, Tracey:
First let me apologize for my delayed response as I just started as of yesterday and was checking up on
your inquiry.
From my discussion with my colleagues as well as the former ACO, I have been told that this issue is not
something that my position addresses at the moment. I am told that the building inspector is the person
who would handle the zoning etc. Also, the inspections of 'commercial kennels' is done by the Dept. of
Agriculture. If either of those departments need any assistance they will contact me but as of now this is
not my jurisdiction.
I completely understand your concerns. The situations you mentioned are valid, unfortunately we have
to wait for the laws to catch up to the growing new trends in animal care.
I hope you can accept my sincerest apology that I cannot be of more assistance.
I appreciate you contacting me and hope that you will feel comfortable contacting me in the future with
concerns.
Thank you,
Marie Petto

Subject: Illegal Doggy Daycare review
Hi CSO Petto
For several months, I have been bringing to the attention of the former CSO a potential illegal doggy
daycare operating in North Andover. I have also brought it to the attention of the Town of North
Andover Selectmen. My understanding is that this daycare does not have a business license, or kennel
license. I am also under the impression, which should also be verified at your end, is that the location
of her home is not zoned for animal businesses in home or commercial. Maybe since my first
communication on this topic the owner has obtained her needed documentation but I have not been
made aware of that.

. There seems to be a trend nationwide for these on line sites Dogvacay.com and Care.com to become a
host for people to place ads on their sites for businesses. The sites are simply a pay search for an
individual to post ads for their business. These sites are not in the business to verify each individual
State or Town's By Laws. Nor are these sites in the business to verify if the ad payer is actually
complying to their State or Town by laws.
Nationwide there have been several cases of animal abduction and animal abuse to family pets as the
owners were not aware of who these individuals are that are on these sites. Understandably, that
comes with "Buyer Beware". However, because this has become an epidemic several States and now
towns are taking action for various reasons
First of all, operating a business usually requires a business license, and one that has a business pays
taxes on earned income and if it is zoned as a commercial business that individual pays taxes to that
particular town. North Andover relies on its business community to pay its taxes to help keep our
individual taxes remain low and to help pay for municipal positions.
Secondly, because these sites have become nationwide with no recourse several States have engaged in
conversations with their Dept of Agriculture and Business Develop divisions to research if the individuals
are compliant to their State and town laws. Most recently, in the state of North Carolina if you are an
unregistered in home kennel you may be fined up to $5,000. In Colorado they are charging the land the
dogs are on as commercial even on an in home kennel.
Thirdly, there are towns that are realizing that these sites are allowing residents to steal income to their
community by not having proper documentation . I know of communities in Connecticut that the town
AOC are going through these sites and investigating the people in their zip codes to see if they are
compliant. If not they are reaching out to these individuals to educate them on how to become
compliant and letting them know what they need to do. In some cases, some AOC have even started
Raiding the homes of these illegal doggy daycares and taking the dogs off the property, calling the
vacationing owners telling them their dogs are now in the local town kennel.
Even if a person is staying within the guidelines of the North Andover By Laws of Four or less dogs on a
property - no kennel licenses required and 5 or more a kennel license is required - this woman is
operating a business and is receiving monetary fee for her services which makes this an operating
business. My understanding is she would need to have a business license since she is being paid for a
service she is providing. My next understanding is because she has dogs on her property, more than
four, she would need to be approved by licenses dept and building inspector to allow a dog for income
at her home. The number of dogs on property is to include her own personal pets and all dogs she takes
in for boarding. I also was under the impression zoning dept decides which streets in town allow
where a dog business may or may not operate. Once again, this would need to be verified at your end.
This town needs a dog boarding facility. I operate a dog walking and pet care service but I am not a
kennel. I have been operating for several years in North Andover. When my clients need in home
boarding I refer to a woman in Haverhill who has a license, insured and has a kennel license. In Haverhill
she is able to keep up to eight on her property at a time. I refer to her as she is totally compliant and as
a legal business owner. I am able to refer to another business who I am confident will be a legal and
compliant business. This particular daycare in NA is not a competitor of mine as she is offering a service
I do not. I have had a handful of clients use her services this summer for boarding and they have been
happy with her services. She is very good to the animals and do not cause any harm. However she does
charge, and she charges basically the same price I charge for pet sitting in the client's home. Therefore,
she is collecting income. The fee I charge goes to my insurance, bonding, taxes and all complicacy
fees. Because I am a legal business I pay my fair share. legally.
3
Of course this isn't all about money but about the safety and wellbeing of an animal. If an animal was •
to get sick, how could the BOH have prevented the outbreak if the BOH was never notified there was a
kennel for them to inspect? That effects all the animals in our community. Or what if pack mentality
kicks in and there is a fight? How could have that been prevented? If she was a legal business there
would be measuring factors in place to help prevent this from happening. Animal safety must come
first !
I am going to forward to you previous emails I had sent to the former CSO and I am in hopes you will be
able to review this situation. Like I mentioned maybe all of this was addressed by the former CSO but I
have a feeling it was not.
Thank You

permit application form to provide notice of installation of wiring shall be uniform throughout the Commonwealth, and applications shall be filed
on the prescribed form. After a permit application has been accepted by an Inspector of Wires appointed pursuant to M. G.L c. 166, § 32, an
electrical permit shall be issued to the person, firm or corporation stated on the permit application. Such entity shall be responsible for the
notification of completion of the work as required in M.G.L. c. 143, § 3L.
Permits shall be limited as to the time of ongoing construction activity, and may be deemed by the Inspector of Wires abandoned and invalid if he
or she has determined that the authorized work has not commenced or has not progressed during the preceding 12 -month period. Upon written
application, an extension of time for completion of work shall be permitted for reasonable cause. A permit shall be terminated upon the written
request of either the owner or the installing entity stated on the permit application.
❑ The Permit Extension Act was created by Section 173 of Chapter 240 of the Acts of 2010 and extended by Sections 74 and 75 of Chapter 238 of

purpose by establishing an automatic four-year extension to certain permits and licenses concerning the use or development of real property. With
limited exceptions, the Act automatically extends, for four years beyond its otherwise applicable expiration date, any permit or approval that was
"in effect or existence" during the qualifying period beginning on August 15, 2008 and extending through August 15, 2012.

Information and Instructions
Massachusetts General Laws chapter 152 requires all employers to provide workers' compensation for their employees.
Pursuant to this statute, an employee is defined as "...every person in the service of another under any contract of hire,
express or implied, oral or written."
An employer is defined as "an individual, partnership, association, corporation or other legal entity, or any two or more
of the foregoing engaged in a joint enterprise, and including the legal representatives of a deceased employer, or the
receiver or trustee of an individual, partnership, association or other legal entity, employing employees. However the
owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein, or the occupant of the
dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance, construction or repair work on such dwelling house
or on the grounds or building appurtenant thereto shall not because of such employment be deemed to be an employer."
MGL chapter 152, §25C(6) also states that "every state or local licensing agency shall withhold the issuance or
renewal of a license or permit to operate a business or to construct buildings in the commonwealth for any
applicant who has not produced -acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance coverage required"
Additionally, MGL chapter 152, §25C(7) states "Neither the commonwealth nor any of its political subdivisions shall
enter into any contract for the performance of public work until acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance
requirements of this chapter have been presented to the contracting authority."
Applicants
Please fill out the workers' compensation affidavit completely, by checking the boxes that apply to your situation and, if
necessary, supply sub -contractors) name(s), address(es) and phone number(s) along with their certificate(s) of
insurance. Limited Liability Companies (LLC) or Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) with no employees other than the
members or partners, are not required to carry workers' compensation insurance. If an LLC or LLP does have
employees, a policy is required. Be advised that this affidavit may be submitted to the Department of Industrial
Accidents for confirmation of insurance coverage. Also be sure to sign and date the affidavit. The affidavit should
be returned to the city or town that the application for the permit or license is being requested, not the Department of
Industrial Accidents. Should you have any questions regarding the law or if you are required to obtain a workers'
compensation policy, please call the Department at the number listed below. Self-insured companies should enter their
self-insurance license number on the appropriate line.
City or Town Officials
Please be sure that the affidavit is complete and printed legibly. The Department has provided a space at the bottom
of the affidavit for you to fill out in the event the Office of Investigations has to contact you regarding the applicant.
Please be sure to fill in the permit/license number which will be used as a reference number. In addition, an applicant
that must submit multiple permit/license applications in any given year, need only submit one affidavit indicating current
policy information (if necessary) and under "Job Site Address" the applicant should write "all locations in (city or
town)." A copy of the affidavit that has been officially stamped or marked by the city or town may be provided to the
applicant as proof that a valid affidavit is on file for future permits or licenses. A new affidavit must be filled out each
year. Where a home owner or citizen is obtaining a license or permit not related to any business or commercial venture
(i.e. a dog license or permit to burn leaves etc.) said person is NOT required to complete this affidavit.
The Office of Investigations would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation and should you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to give us a call.
