America's Finest Moonlighting Her Way To Career And Personal Fulfillment

(Wednesday, May 09, 2007) - Having served as a North Carolina-area law enforcement officer for 10 long years, Kelly Strowd was, in her words, "downright burned out." Working currently as a detective and, before that, a patrol officer, Kelly earns her living in a world where the negative side of modern-day life is on full display. While having an opportunity to "protect and serve" has been satisfying, the disheartening side of Kelly's professional life often outweighs the good.

After one too many long and difficult days on the "beat," Kelly did some deep soul searching and decided she needed to compliment her "day job" with an endeavor that would bring her personal joy and fulfillment…and some extra income to boot. With that epiphany and a bit of research on business opportunities, in late 2006 Kelly opened her own franchise with FETCH! Pet Care - the nation's largest provider of professional pet sitting and dog walking services. Her business now boasts a staff of 17 pet sitters who service a rapidly growing base of satisfied pet owners.

Kelly still works as a police detective, but she also now operates her successful home-based pet care business in her free time. While moonlighting can be exhausting on some days, having the opportunity to parlay her passion for pets into a successful business has been extremely gratifying for her, and has actually reduced her overall stress level – even as she carries out her detective duties.

Kelly is just one of a 66% female majority of FETCH! Pet Care franchise owners – a notable group of women who, on a leap of faith, left their rat-race careers in corporate America behind, or are moonlighting, to essentially "play with animals for a living" – a decision that is paying off in spades. These resourceful gals are now revolutionizing the $38 billion pet care services industry.

"With more than two-thirds of all U.S. households collectively owning upwards of 360 million pets, the pet care service industry is ‘coming of age'," notes FETCH! Pet Care founder and CEO Paul Mann. "These women have timed their career transformations perfectly as the pet care industry burgeons amid the large number of baby boomers and double income households whose disposable income is on the increase and with the trend of pet ‘humanization' on the rise in terms of how pets are treated and pampered. The ladies of FETCH! Pet Care are gaining market share at lightening speed, and have no career change regrets."

FETCH! Pet Care provides pet owners with a range of services that meet their every need and budget, including boarding and daycare in the sitter's home, overnight sitting and daily visits in the client's home, private and group dog outings, pet taxiing, Go FETCH! four-legged fitness, yard pet waste removal, and miscellaneous home care. A free in-home consultation permits clients, pets and professionally trained and screened sitters to get pre-acquainted and address each pet's unique needs.
