SPOKANE, WA--(Marketwire - September 20, 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
Washington's Central Spokane County region to provide area residents with
unsurpassed pet care services. This new franchise marks the 100th FETCH!
Pet Care location that, in aggregate, now services more than 7,500 active
clients throughout 1,200 cities and towns in 31 states across the U.S.
Linda and Mike Dreher, who own and operate FETCH! Pet Care of Central
Spokane County, came out of early retirement 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 central Spokane County, Washington, including Spokane, Spokane
Valley, Veradale, Liberty Lake and Greenacres, with a range of services
that meet every need and budget, including overnight sitting or daily
visits in the client's home, private and group dog walks, pet taxiing
and miscellaneous home care. The company will soon add the services of
boarding and daycare in the sitter's home. 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 Linda. "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 November 1, 2007 FETCH!
Pet Care of Central Spokane County is offering a 10% discount off each new
client's initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of Central Spokane County can be
