FETCH! Opens Branch in Westchester County

FETCH! Pet Care, known as America`s largest and most sophisticated pet care franchise has opened a new location in White Plains, New York, in order to offer lower Westchester County their unparalleled pet care services. FETCH! Provides professional pet sitting and dog walking, and services over 300 cities and town throughout California, Louisiana, Missouri, New York and North Dakota. It is also supporting the Louisiana SPCA after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

Susan Pfeifer, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Lower Westchester County, gave up her profession as a Safety Supervisor for a school bus company to establish the franchise, capitalizing on a unique opportunity to combine her love of animals with a proven, turnkey home-based business for just $5,000 - among the lowest capital investments in the franchise industry today. She now provides pet owners throughout White Plains and surrounding areas 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.

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.`

`Selecting a sitter to care for a pet and a home is a critically important decision,` notes Pfeifer. `Now, there`s no need to impose on family members or friends, or subject their pet to kennel boarding. Our highly trained sitters ensure pets receive the love, attention and skilled treatment expected of a professional caregiver, and that the client`s home remains secure.`
