Fetch! Pet Care was recently featured in Delta Sky Magazine in an article entitled“One, Then Many.” Fetch! Pet Care franchisee Kelly Strowd was featured for her experience in owning her own business with Fetch! Tired of her job as a police officer, Strowd became a Fetch! franchisee in 2006 due to her love of animals. In just a short time, she acquired more territories and expanded her business which further solidified her decision to go into franchising. Click here to view the full article on pages 4 & 5.
Kelly Strowd never imagined she would operate a franchise. As a police detective investigating sexual assaults and domestic violence in Carrboro County, North Carolina, she enjoyed good benefits, but the pay wasn't enough that she could envision herself owning a business.
Still, the stress of her job was wearing on her. "I was getting burned out," she says. So when she saw a newspaper ad for a new pet sitting franchise called Fetch, she was intrigued. An animal lover, she had been involved in dachshund rescue services and had cared for five dachshunds herself.
Fetch! Pet Care was founded in Berkeley, Calif., in 2002 by Paul Mann, who wanted his pets to remain in his home instead of kenneling them while he traveled. Finding no professional company suitable to the task, Mann started his own firm with the goal of providing as-needed, reliable, and loving care to pets of all kinds. Today, there are more than 3,000 Fetch! professionals operating in 1,500 U.S. communities. FETCH! Pet Care is the nation's largest and most trusted provider of professional pet sitting and dog walking services, serving thousands of pets and pet parents from coast to coast. Comprised of pet lovers turned business owners, each independently and locally owned Fetch! focuses on taking the stress out of finding a sitter and adding convenience to customer’s lives by doing all of the legwork for them. Fetch! matches you and your pets with the most qualified, experienced pet professional possible. For more information, visit www.fetchpetcare.com.
