Pet Services
in the Recession-Resistant Pet Services Industry
DoodyCalls is one of the most recognizable pet waste removal franchises in North America. The company provides residential and commercial pet waste cleanup services, helping homeowners, apartment communities, HOAs, parks, dog parks, and commercial properties maintain cleaner outdoor spaces.
While it may not be the most glamorous business, DoodyCalls has built a successful franchise system around a simple concept: solving a problem that many pet owners would rather pay someone else to handle.
As pet ownership continues to grow across the United States, demand for convenient pet-related services has created opportunities for entrepreneurs seeking a lower-investment, recurring-revenue business model.
DoodyCalls may be a strong fit for:
* First-time business owners
* Veterans transitioning into entrepreneurship
* Corporate executives seeking business ownership
* Pet lovers
* Home-service investors
* Semi-absentee ownership candidates
* Entrepreneurs seeking lower startup costs
Technical experience is not required. Many owners focus on marketing, customer acquisition, operations, and team management while technicians perform service visits.
One reason many entrepreneurs consider DoodyCalls is that prior industry experience is generally not required.

An independent assessment from your franchise consultant
Steve Warres, Franchise ConsultantLet's be honest.
Most people don't dream of owning a pet waste removal business.
And that's exactly why it interests me.
Some of the strongest service businesses solve problems that customers don't enjoy dealing with themselves.
DoodyCalls fits that category perfectly.
This is not a trendy concept.
It's a practical one.
And practical businesses often create durable revenue streams.
Bottom line: DoodyCalls is one of those businesses that is easy to underestimate.
The service itself may be simple, but the business model is attractive.
Recurring customers, low overhead, growing pet ownership, and strong franchise support create a compelling combination.
If I were evaluating lower-investment franchise opportunities, DoodyCalls would be on my shortlist because it solves a recurring problem and generates recurring revenue.
And in franchising, recurring revenue is often one of the most valuable characteristics a business can have.
