The franchisor, whose tag line is “We’ve Got Your Tail Covered,†says its targeting the Valley as part of a national expansion that will add thousands of at-home pet sitters and dog walkers across the country in the next few years. It wants to add two franchisees in Mesa and two in Phoenix. It currently has franchisees in west Mesa/Tempe, and Chandler/Gilbert.
Its franchisees provide care not just for cats and dogs, but many types of animals including exotics.
“It’s a very pet positive area,†Paul Mann, the company’s CEO and founder, said of the region. “AAA rated Phoenix and the surrounding area as one of the top 10 best places in America for pets.â€
