| Source: FETCH! Pet Care
SCOTTSDALE, AZ -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 16, 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
Arizona's Scottsdale region to provide area residents with unsurpassed pet
care services. This new franchise marks the 61st FETCH! Pet Care location
that, in aggregate, now service over 900 cities and towns throughout
Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri,
Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island and Texas.
Wendy Gutman, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Scottsdale, is
augmenting her profession as a horse trainer 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 Scottsdale, Arizona, including Paradise 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 Gutman. "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 March 1, 2007 FETCH! Pet
Care of Scottsdale is offering a 10% discount off each new client's initial
service. FETCH! Pet Care of Scottsdale can be reached by telephone at
602-903-4380 and via email at scottsdale@fetchpetcare.com or on the web at
