Meredith Pope Embraces Entrepreneurship to Pursue her Passion for Animals

Fetch! Pet Care, America’s largest franchised provider of professional dog walking and in-home pet sitting services, is bringing experienced and caring walkers and sitters to Columbia, South Carolina.

Columbia resident Meredith Pope launched Fetch! Pet Care in August to service pet owners in Columbia, Chapin, Dentsvile, Rosewood and nearby communities. With a focus on exceptional service and reliable care, Pope offers a wide range of services for furry, feathered and scaly family members, including puppy check-ins, private dog walking, pet sitting, overnight care and transportation.

“Our team understands and responds to the many challenges that can come with finding a reliable dog walker or pet sitter,” said Pope. “As animal lovers, we know why people consider their pets as part of the family, and we appreciate being trusted with the responsibility of caring for these furry family members.”

In addition to ensuring your pet receives the best care while you’re away, it’s equally important to keep them looking and feeling their best. Professional grooming services provide more than just a clean coat; they offer essential maintenance for your pet’s overall health. From trimming nails to keeping fur tangle-free, a professional groomer can identify any underlying issues such as skin infections or parasites early on.

Grooming isn’t just about aesthetics; it plays a crucial role in your pet’s well-being. Regular grooming helps prevent matting, reduces shedding, and can improve your pet’s comfort, especially in extreme weather conditions.

For pet owners in Columbia and the surrounding areas, partnering with a trusted groomer who understands your pet’s specific needs can enhance their quality of life and strengthen the bond you share with them.

Pope has a deep connection to and knowledge of the community she serves. As a way to give back and also indulge her love of animals, Pope volunteers at the Fairfield County Animal Shelter and SQ Rescue – SBT. She has adopted two German Shepherd mixes from SQ Rescue. Also, with a big, welcoming heart, Pope has fostered nearly 50 dogs throughout the years.

Pope hand-picks and thoroughly trains each member of her team. All dog walkers and pet sitters are bonded, insured and background checked and have specialized skills in caring for dogs, cats, birds and other small, caged animals. To establish a relationship between the pet care provider and pet owner and to ensure a good fit for all, Fetch! offers a free consultation to every prospective client.

Clients are encouraged to utilize the company’s mobile app for scheduling and communicating with team members. The app includes features such as GPS tracking to enable clients to locate their animal during a walk and a journal for the sitter’s notes, photos and more.
