SILVER SPRING, MD--(Marketwire - June 19, 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
Maryland's Silver Spring region to provide area residents with unsurpassed
pet care services. This new franchise marks the 86th FETCH! Pet Care
location that, in aggregate, now service over 1,100 cities and towns
throughout Arizona, 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, Virginia, Washington and
Wisconsin.
Jaime Deason, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Silver Spring, left
her profession as an education director to establish the franchise,
capitalizing on a unique opportunity to combine her love of animals with a
proven, turnkey home-based business for one of the lowest capital
investments in the franchise industry today. She now provides pet owners
throughout Maryland's Silver Spring region, including Aspen Hill, Four
Corners, North Bethesda, and Forest 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 Deason. "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 August 1, 2007 FETCH! Pet
Care of Silver Spring is offering a 10% discount off each new client's
initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of Silver Spring can be reached by
telephone at 301-850-1274 and via email at SilverSpring@FetchPetCare.com
or on the web at www.FetchPetCare.com.
