Nation's Leading Name in Professional At-Home Pet Care Providing San Francisco-Area Pet Owners With Unsurpassed Professional Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Services; Discounted Pet Care Services Now Offered as a Value Add to California State Automobile Association (CSAA) and AAA Sojourns® Members Throughout the San Francisco Region

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - February 19, 2008) - FETCH! Pet Care, America's first, only and most sophisticated pet care franchise offering professional pet sitting and dog walking services, today announced two of its flagship Bay-area locations within its network of 144 franchises, which service more than 10,000 active clients throughout 1,500 cities and towns in 33 states across the U.S., are under new ownership.

Jesse Martinez now owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Noe Valley, and Catherine Jash now owns and operates FETCH! Pet Care of Presidio Heights. Both entrepreneurs are capitalizing on a unique opportunity to combine their love of animals with a proven, turnkey home-based business for one of the lowest capital investments in the franchise industry today.

Combined, they are providing pet owners throughout San Francisco, including Noe Valley, Castro, Glen Park, Diamond Heights, Haight-Ashbury, Richmond, Seacliff, Pacific Heights, Presidio Heights, Cal Hollow and the Marina, 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," said Martinez. "Now, there's no need to impose on family members or friends, or subject one's 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."

Jash 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."
