TINLEY PARK, IL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- March 6, 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
Illinois' South Chicago Suburbs region to provide area residents with
unsurpassed pet care services. This new franchise marks the 66th FETCH!
Pet Care location that, in aggregate, now service over 1,000 cities and
towns throughout Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas and Wisconsin.
Linda Stevens, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of South Chicago
Suburbs, gave up her profession in real estate development 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 Illinois' South Chicago Suburbs, including Tinley Park,
Orland Park, Homer Glen and New Lennox, 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 Stevens. "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 April 15, 2007 FETCH! Pet
Care of South Chicago Suburbs is offering a 10% discount off each new
client's initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of South Chicago Suburbs can be
