| Source: FETCH! Pet Care
APEX, NC--(Marketwire - November 15, 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 North
Carolina's Apex-Cary region to provide area residents with unsurpassed pet
care services. This new franchise marks the 118th 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.
Colleen and Chris Montesi, who own and operate FETCH! Pet Care of
Apex-Cary, are augmenting their professions in information technology and
outside sales 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 Apex,
North Carolina, including Cary, Fuquay Varina, Morrisville and Holly
Springs, 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 Colleen. "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 December 21, 2007 FETCH!
Pet Care of Apex-Cary is offering a 10% discount off each new client's
initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of Apex-Cary can be reached by telephone
at 866-338-2463 and via email at cary@fetchpetcare.com or on the web at
