FETCH! Pet Care(TM) Expands Into Louisville

Nation's Preeminent Professional Pet Care Network Now Servicing Louisville Pet Owners; Flexing Its 'Marketing Muscle' to Support the Louisiana SPCA

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 Louisville, Kentucky, to provide Louisville residents with unsurpassed pet care services. This new franchise marks the 26th FETCH! Pet Care location that, in aggregate, now service over 300 cities and towns throughout California, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, New York and North Dakota.

Olin Barnett, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Louisville, has capitalized on this unique opportunity to combine his love of animals with a proven, turnkey home-based business franchise for just $5,000 -- among the lowest capital investments in the franchise industry today. He now provide pet owners throughout Louisville 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.

"Selecting a sitter to care for a pet and a home is a critically important decision," notes Barnett. "Now, there's no need to impose on family members or friends, or subject their pet to kennel boarding. Our highly trained staff of sitters ensure 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 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 allows 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 October 31st FETCH! Pet Care of Louisville is offering a 10% discount off each new client's initial service. In addition, FETCH! Pet Care is also levering its marketing resources and contacts to facilitate cash donations for the Louisiana SPCA -- now a shelter for pets rescued after Hurricane Katrina. Cash donations can be made either via the FETCH! Pet Care Web site at www.fetchpetcare.com, or to the Louisiana SPCA directly at http://www.la-spca.org/forms/donations.htm.
