FETCH! Pet Care(TM) Expands Into Iowa's Jasper and Polk Counties

Nation's Preeminent Professional Pet Care Network Now Servicing Pet Owners Throughout Both Jasper County and Polk County, Iowa

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 the Iowa's Jasper County and Polk County regions to provide area residents with unsurpassed pet care services. This new franchise marks the 42nd FETCH! Pet Care location that, in aggregate, now service over 700 cities and towns throughout Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.

Tamara Marsh, who owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Jasper and Polk Counties, is augmenting her profession in the insurance industry 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 Jasper and Polk counties, including Des Moines, Johnston, Pleasant Hill, and Newton, 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 Marsh. "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 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 August 15, 2006 FETCH! Pet Care of Jasper and Polk Counties is offering a 10% discount off each new client's initial service. FETCH! Pet Care of Jasper and Polk Counties can be reached by telephone at 641-417-WOOF and via email at jasper@fetchpetcare.com.
