FETCH! Pet Care(TM) Expands Into Woodland Hills, California
Nation's Preeminent Professional Pet Care Network Now Servicing Woodland Hills, California Pet Owners
WOODLAND HILLS, CA--(Marketwire - November 19, 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 Woodland Hills region to provide area residents with
unsurpassed pet care services. This new franchise marks the 126th FETCH!
Pet Care location that, in aggregate, now service more than 9,400 active
clients throughout 1,400 cities and towns in 31 states across the U.S.
Sal Barragato, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Woodland Hills to
Encino, is augmenting his profession as a financial consultant 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. He now provides pet
owners throughout Woodland Hills, California, including Encino Tarzana and
Los Angeles West of the San Fernando Valley, 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 Barragato. "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."
