Nation's Leading Name in Professional At-Home Pet Care Now Servicing Pet Owners Throughout Kansas' Western Johnson County Region
| Source: FETCH! Pet Care
OLATHE, KS--(Marketwire - July 7, 2008) - FETCH! Pet Care, the nation's largest pet care
brand offering professional pet sitting and dog walking services, today
announced it has launched a new location in Kansas' Western Johnson County
region to provide area residents with unsurpassed pet care services. This
new franchise marks the 171st FETCH! Pet Care location that, in aggregate,
now services more than 13,000 active clients throughout 1,700 cities and
towns in 34 states across the U.S.
Barbara Gates, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Western Johnson
County, gave up her profession in the travel industry 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 Olathe, Kansas, including Lenexa, Gardner, New Century
and Overland Park, 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 Gates. "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 shortage 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 21, 2008 FETCH!
Pet Care of Western Johnson County is offering a 10% discount off each new
client's initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of Western Johnson County can be
