”Having recently surpassed the benchmark of servicing more than 1,000 cities and towns through 67 franchise locations across the United States, our franchise business model has been proven successful and our approach to pet care has been validated,” said FETCH! Pet Care founder & CEO Paul Mann. “These recent business development deals exemplify our intention to build a true nationwide network of readily available, professional pet sitters and extend our services through a multiplicity of vertical industry B2B channels in order to establish FETCH! Pet Care as ’the’ go-to pet care service provider for pet owners everywhere.”

FETCH! Pet Care has also launched a nationwide initiative to form strategic national and localized affiliate partnerships in a selection of specialized industries, including corporations, veterinarians, groomers, pet stores, realtors, and travel agencies, as well as pet friendly hotels, resorts, apartment buildings, and condominium associations, for whom the lack of reliable pet care for its customers and employees presents specific business challenges and is limiting their revenue potential.

Mann continues, “Offering FETCH! Pet Care’s services as a ’perk’ to our commercial partner’s customers and employees is helping them maximize overall operational productivity, increase sales and provides well-received peace-of-mind as pet owners are no longer distressed or challenged with finding reliable care while at work or traveling.”
