From plants to pooches on the Gold Coast with “Don’t Fret Pet!”

One-time gardener, Carole Ciechanowicz, recently made the decision to switch from looking after plants to looking after pooches and purchased a “Don’t Fret Pet!” pet care franchise on the Gold Coast.

This award-winning dog-minding service ensures that while their owners are away, beloved pooches receive plenty of love and attention in the home of a carefully screened minder.

The pet care franchise business services the entire Gold Coast region, from Ormeau in the north, Canungra and Beaudesert in the west, and Pottsville and Murwillumbah in the south.

“Over the past 7 years the “Don’t Fret Pet!” service has been well received on the Gold Coast. It provides a personal, caring service where people can leave their pets knowing they will be safe and secure and given much love and attention. It’s as close as possible to being at home with their family!”

Having previously owned and operated a lawn mowing and gardening service, Carole is thoroughly enjoying the change of scenery. Carole explained that she has always been a dog-lover and found out about “Don’t Fret Pet!” pet care franchises when she was looking for dog boarding alternatives for her own dogs.

“Living on acreage, and having not only the dogs but also birds and chickens to be cared for is cause for concern when we have to leave them. At that time "Don’t Fret Pet!” on the Gold Coast was only providing the core service where dogs were cared for in another family’s home.”

Carole is now adding the home visit service where minders, who have been checked by the police, visit all types of pets in the pet’s own home.

“This is the perfect solution where families have many assorted pets or for pets who prefer to stay at home. Not only do the pets receive love and attention, but pot plants can be watered, mail collected and the daily visit helps with home security - all part of the home visit service.”
