SAN DIEGO/EWORLDWIRE/June 22, 2005 --- Professional dog walking and pet sitting service, Fetch! Pet Care, has expanded service to cover San Diego Inland just in time for summer. Sisters Leslie Costi and Gina Costi-Wong have teamed up to provide service from Mission Valley to La Mesa, and north up the I-15 corridor to Rancho Bernardo.The new location will provide a variety of services for dogs, cats and other small animals, including private and group dog walks and doggie playgroups, cat visits, in-home overnight sitting, private boarding, day care, home care and pet taxi.
"We're teaming up to open Fetch! Pet Care in the San Diego Inland area because pets are close to our hearts and we know how important reliable and professional pet care is for today's lifestyle and today's pets," said Costi-Wong, General Manager.
With three other Fetch! Pet Care locations serving Metro, North Coastal and North Inland San Diego, Fetch! Pet Care of San Diego Inland rounds out complete pet care coverage for greater San Diego County residents. The addition of the new location brings the total existing Fetch! Pet Care franchise locations, which currently service Calif., La., Mo., N.Y., N.D., to 21.
"We continue to build on our success and experience in servicing over 300 cities and towns nationwide," said Paul Mann, president. "Our reputation for high quality service is unmatched."
The demand for professional pet sitting and dog walking services is at an all-time high. Pet ownership is rising, pet owners are working longer hours and traveling more for business and personal reasons than ever before, and pet owners are moving away from kenneling their pets because of health concerns, making alternatives like Fetch! Pet Care more attractive.
"We know how it is to rush home or be worried when we go away, and we want to make things easier on people and fun for pets," said Costi, general manager. "We intend on providing unparalleled availability, reliability, professionalism and loving care for pets, all at completely competitive rates."
The new Fetch! Pet Care location features a dedicated agent readily available to schedule and dispatch client requests, as well as sophisticated software systems to track assignments and deliver real-time order confirmations by e-mail to its clients.
While other services quickly book up for the summer, Fetch! Pet Care has staffed experienced teams of sitters in the San Diego Inland neighborhood service areas to deliver prompt and personal service 365 days a year. Each Fetch! Pet Care sitter undergoes a thorough criminal background check and training by the company, and comprehensive references review. A free in-home consultation permits clients and sitters to meet each other, and to assess and address each individual pet's specific needs.
"People are busy making their summer vacation plans, and now's the time they should also make their pets' vacation plans, too," adds Costi-Wong. "Our goal is that no one is stuck at home this summer."
As part of the grand opening celebration, through July 31, Fetch! Pet Care San Diego Inland is offering a 10 percent discount off each new client's first service.
