Overview
Little guys like me are a big market.
Look around at the growing number of pet care businesses, and you’ll realize a new industry is being born. Why? Well 40% of all American households have a pet, and cat and dog populations are growing. At the same time, Americans have less and less time to spend taking care of their pet. They’d rather play with their dog and let someone else clean up. That’s where DoodyCalls comes in.
Building Success from the ground up.
From the very beginning it was clear there was strong demand for a pet waste removal service. But only a professional, branded company with clear guidelines and standards was able to meet the demand. With trained, uniformed, and courteous staff, plus efficient and effective marketing, DoodyCalls was able to build its client base to become profitable quickly. DoodyCalls also pioneered a strategy to develop commercial and residential accounts together, a key to our success.
Answering the call of Doody.
DoodyCalls offers franchisees a roadmap with a tried and true pet care brand. A low initial investment in equipment allows franchise owners to invest additional capital in building a client base and growing their business. Franchisees also have the flexibility to start their businesses on a part-time or full-time basis. As a DoodyCalls franchise owner, you won’t be on your own: we provide the training, marketing materials, call center, and ongoing support to quickly establish your thriving business.

Community Pet Waste Management Solutions
Dog Poop in Your Community—Your Solution to a Messy Situation
Your community shares a lot: pools, tennis courts, playgrounds, and the messy problem of dog poop in common areas.Maybe you don't even own a dog, but you do own the problem of managing pet waste in your community.
Dog waste is not only messy, smelly, and unsightly, but it is also a health concern. Dog waste carries worms and diseases that can affect your family and your pets as well as the environment. An unresolved dog poop problem in your community can also decrease real estate values, after all who would chose to live in a dirty community over a clean one? Not to mention that dog waste is a tremendous food source for rats!
Controlling dog poop in communities is the number one topic of discussion at community board meetings across the country, so your community is not alone. Dogs don’t pick up after themselves, and sometimes owners don’t either, and that’s where we come in.
DoodyCalls is the recognized industry leader in managing pet waste for communities, homeowners associations, apartments, and condominiums. No matter what your pet waste problem is, we have a clean and affordable solution.
We provide the following services to property managers:

Why DoodyCalls?
America's love for pets is a stunning economic fact. Currently,
Americans spend approximately $34 billion dollars on their
pets. That figure represents a growth rate of 100% during
the past decade. And when it comes specifically to dogs,
the numbers are equally impressive.- There are over 63 million dogs in the U.S.
- Nearly 40% of all U.S households own at least one dog, and many of these (35%) have more than one.
- Nearly one in 10 dog owners (9 percent) has birthday parties for their pets.
- 62% of households with incomes in excess of $54,999 own pets.
- Dog owners are more likely than others to own homes.
For DoodyCalls, America's love of dogs means a steadily growing client base for years to come.
And this growing market doesn't just include individual pet owners. It also comprises homeowners associations, apartment complexes, and parks-anywhere dogs roam and "do their thing."
Helping the Environment, Enforcing the Law
Our franchisees all say they love having a business where they can work outside and interact with their fuzzy friends. Scritching an ear or throwing the odd tennis ball in between scoops just enhances the job’s appeal (and keeps the “clients” very happy).
But they also mention their satisfaction in doing their bit to clean up the environment. Not only is dog waste messy, unsightly, smelly, and bothersome, but it also creates a serious health hazard if not dealt with properly. Worms and viruses such as roundworm, ringworm, whip worm, and the deadly parvo virus are all transmitted through dog feces.
Which is why the EPA has deemed pet waste a non-point source of pollution, and towns are now strictly enforcing proper disposal ordinances. As a member of the DoodyCalls team, you can proudly say that you transform hazardous areas into clean, safe, inviting habitats—and help your clients comply with the law.
