In Home Pet Services Launches in Suffolk County, NY – Two locations!

MEDFORD, N.Y. - Oct. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- In Home Pet Services, Inc., (IHPS), is thrilled to announce that they are opening a new franchise location in Suffolk County, NY!  In Home Pet Services is an award winning pet sitting and dog walking company based in Queens, NY, and one of the fastest growing pet companies in all of New York State.  IHPS already has franchise locations throughout Queens, Brooklyn in New York City and in Nassau County on Long Island and is now launching their first new Suffolk County location: In Home Pet Services of Babylon, NY.

The location is individually owned and run, but has tremendous support from the founder and President of the company, Robyn Elman – who runs IHPS in Northeast Queens – the first and original location.  IHPS franchisee’s work together on different events, help each other with clients when needed and really care for each other’s success.

This new location will have a grand opening date of November 4, 2013.  The business is a home-based pet sitting company. Now pet owners throughout the Patchogue area will now have a trusted, reputable, reliable and professional pet business to turn to for care of their pets while they are at work or away on vacation.

The new IHPS of Babylon is owned and operated by Joanne Ramirez who is a longtime resident of the Babylon area.  She has been the go-to person for pet care among her friends and family and has been helping them with their pets for years.

"I am excited to bring In Home Pet Services to Babylon and the surrounding areas to provide quality pet sitting, dog walking and in-home pet boarding.   I have been helping my friends and family for years by taking care of their pets when they were or away or just needed help, and I am thrilled to do this now as my own business," stated Joanne Ramirez owner of In Home Pet Services of Babylon.  "I have a friend who owns another franchise of IHPS and she has had nothing but positive things to say about her priceless experience since she started – and has been bragging about it for the past couple of years since she started!  Once I looked into the company and really found out more, I was blown away - and wanted to become part of this great company, be my own boss and work with animals every day!"

“Joanne already had connections to the IHPS family before I ever met her! A relative of hers, Lisa XXXX, just happens to be the owner of IHPS in South Nassau, and another connection is that Joanne and her husband went to high school with Heather Lehrman, our Franchisee in the North Shore of Nassau,” Robyn Elman, President and founder of IHPS said. “Her drive and passion to start a business that she could be proud of was apparent, along with her love for pets. I am proud to have her represent In Home Pet Services in the Babylon area, a place where I also grew up and worked!”
