HOLBROOK, NY--(Marketwire - July 21, 2008) - FETCH! Pet Care, the nation's largest pet care
brand offering professional pet sitting and dog walking services, today
announced it has launched a new location in New York's South Central
Suffolk County to provide area residents with unsurpassed pet care
services. This new franchise marks the 176th FETCH! Pet Care location
that, in aggregate, now services more than 13,000 active clients throughout
1,700 cities and towns in 34 states across the U.S.
Andrew Ferguson and Denise Monteleone own and operate FETCH! Pet Care of
South Central Suffolk County. Andrew and Denise are augmenting their
professions in the IT industry. Together they established this franchise
to capitalize 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 New York's South Central Suffolk County, including Holbrook,
Holtsville and Sayville, 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 Ferguson. "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 September 4, 2008, FETCH!
Pet Care of South Central Suffolk County is offering a 10% discount off
each new client's initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of South Central
Suffolk County can be reached by telephone at 866-338-2463 and via email at
