VIRGINIA BEACH, VA--(Marketwire - August 29, 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 the
West Virginia Beach & East Chesapeake regions to provide area residents
with unsurpassed pet care services. This new franchise marks the 94th
FETCH! Pet Care location that, in aggregate, now service more than 7,500
active clients throughout 1,200 cities and towns in 31 states across the
U.S.
Tammy Cobb, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of West Virginia Beach &
East Chesapeake, is augmenting her profession as a Database Administrator
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 Virginia Beach, Virginia, including West
Virginia Beach and East Chesapeake, 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 Cobb. "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 October 15, 2007 FETCH!
Pet Care of West Virginia Beach & East Chesapeake is offering a 10%
discount off each new client's initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of West
