Why Fetch! Pet Care?

Hello! My name is Jacque Peters and I am the Owner and General Manager of Fetch! of North Pittsburgh. I was born and raised in the Wexford area and continue to live here with my family. I am an avid pet lover and have always had a pet growing up in my home. My husband and I are fosters for a local rescue in the area, which is how we adopted our lovable furbaby, a 90# Lab/Rottie mix named Dobby. I also have an adorable daughter, a toddler who loves all kinds of pets and helps care for them as well! During my downtime I enjoy golfing and spending time with my family.

I took over the branch in March of 2019, and has been one of the best decisions I’ve made! I enjoy the daily interactions with my staff and our clients.  It is even a pleasure to help out and enjoy the time I get to spend with our fury clients as well!

By living and working with them. it’s an ongoing learning experience I’ve enjoyed my entire life.

Kimberly first got her start pet sitting as a child when her neighbors went on summer vacations. She’d be solely responsible for the house keys and taking care of the pets as directed and on time.

She also worked as an obedience dog trainer for several years. Kimberly has volunteered in many animal shelters, including Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. She has shared her personal life with cats living to as ‘young’ as 20 years of age. To say the least, Kim loves animals, and animals love her back. The job is intrinsically rewarding.
