| Source: FETCH! Pet Care
SAN JOSE, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 9, 2007 -- FETCH! Pet Care, America's largest and most
sophisticated pet care franchise offering professional pet sitting and dog
walking services, today announced it has launched a new location in
California's San Jose region to provide area residents with unsurpassed pet
care services. This new franchise marks the 76th FETCH! Pet Care location
that, in aggregate, now service over 1,000 cities and towns throughout
Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
Jennifer Carlson and Kris Veldheer, who own and operate FETCH! Pet Care
Metro San Jose, augmented their professions in administration and library
sciences, respectively, to establish the franchise, capitalizing on a
unique opportunity to combine their love of animals with a proven, turnkey
home-based business for one of the lowest capital investments in the
franchise industry today. They now provide pet owners throughout Metro San
Jose including Fruitdale, Burbank, Moorpark, and Willow Glen, with a range
of services that meet every need and budget, including boarding and daycare
in the sitter's home, overnight sitting or daily visits in the client's
home, private and group dog walks, pet taxiing, and miscellaneous home
care. A free in-home consultation permits clients, pets and sitters to get
pre-acquainted and address each pet's unique needs.
"Selecting a sitter to care for a pet and a home is a critically important
decision," notes Carlson. "Now, there's no need to impose on family
members or friends, or subject one's pet to kennel boarding. Our highly
trained staff of sitters ensures all pets receive the love, attention and
skilled treatment expected of a professional caregiver, and that the
client's home remains secure."
To assure operational efficiencies, FETCH! Pet Care employs a sophisticated
telephone dispatch system and advanced software that tracks assignments and
delivers real-time electronic client order confirmations and automated
sitter assignment reminders. In addition, each sitter undergoes a thorough
criminal background check, references review, and training regimen, and
each location is fully licensed, bonded and insured.
Paul Mann, FETCH! Pet Care founder and president, notes, "The demand for
professional pet care services is at an all-time high -- especially those
that allow pets to maintain their routine while receiving the attention
they need. With many pet owners frustrated by the lack of professional and
reliable caregivers, or reluctant to kennel their pets due to health and
other concerns, our safe, convenient, and nurturing care provides peace of
mind."
As part of the grand opening celebration, through July 1, 2007 FETCH! Pet
Care of Metro San Jose is offering a 10% discount off each new client's
initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of Metro San Jose can be reached by
telephone at 408-717-4956 and via email at msj@fetchpetcare.com or on the
