BAKERSFIELD, CA--(Marketwire - November 7, 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 Golden Empire region to provide area residents with
unsurpassed pet care services. This new franchise marks the 116th FETCH!
Pet Care location that, in aggregate, now service more than 9,400 active
clients throughout 1,300 cities and towns in 31 states across the U.S.
Marv and Lynn Larson own and operate FETCH! Pet Care of the Golden Empire.
Marv left his profession in wireless communications to establish the
franchise, capitalizing on a unique opportunity to combine his love of
animals with a proven, turnkey home-based business for one of the lowest
capital investments in the franchise industry today. His wife Lynn is
augmenting her profession as a Realtor® to assist Marv with the FETCH!
Pet Care business. They now provide pet owners throughout Bakersfield,
California 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 Marv. "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 15, 2007 FETCH!
Pet Care of the Golden Empire is offering a 10% discount off each new
client's initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of the Golden Empire can be
