(PRESS RELEASE) CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA — DoodyCalls, the nation’s leading provider of pet waste removal services, celebrates 20 years in franchising. Since its launch in 2000 by Jacob and Susan D’Aniello, DoodyCalls has been dedicated to creating cleaner environments through professional residential and commercial pet waste removal services. This milestone anniversary comes on the heels of the company announcing signing of six new franchises to service Naples, Florida; Union, Kentucky; Carolina Metro and Folsom, North Carolina; Dallas and Permian Basin, Texas. DoodyCalls’ remarkable growth continues to attract entrepreneurs, setting the stage for exciting expansion opportunities in 2025.
“Reflecting on 20 years of growth and service, we are incredibly proud of the impact our franchisees and their staff have made in their communities,” said Larry Amos, President of DoodyCalls. “Our franchise network is a dedicated community of entrepreneurs committed to exceptional customer service and neighborhood cleanliness. We equip them with extensive tools and support, including access to state-of-the-art technology and one of the best franchise support teams in the industry, empowering every DoodyCalls owner to thrive.”
The significant growth DoodyCalls has experienced is in part due to the growing demand from pet owners. Today, pets are in nearly 70% of homes in the U.S. and the need for waste management has continued to rise. Pet waste also poses a health risk and environmental challenges, leading to an uptick in awareness about how DoodyCalls’ services can promote healthier communities through solutions that are better for the environment. With a growing demand in the industry and an increase in entrepreneurial interest, DoodyCalls has become a strategic choice for anyone looking to invest in an established, growth-oriented business model.
So far this year, DoodyCalls expanded into new territories and welcomed 16 new franchise owners, many with no prior waste management experience and eager to join the $3.5 billion dollar industry. Additional milestones include:
- National Expansion: Now operating in over 80 territories across 26 states, DoodyCalls continues to solidify its stance as an industry leader.
- Industry Recognition: Named the #1 pet waste removal franchise in the U.S. by Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500.
- Authority Brand Acquisition: Authority Brands’ acquisition of DoodyCalls enhances its franchise network by providing increased resources, support, and collaborative opportunities, positioning DoodyCalls for accelerated growth and improved service delivery in the pet waste removal industry.
- Growth with Commercial Partners: As a core initiative for the company, DoodyCalls has established a Commercial Advisory Council consisting of eight franchisees from diverse backgrounds across the country who meet monthly to develop strategies that will advance the brand in the commercial sector.
DoodyCalls is looking to add qualified franchise owners to its growing brand. For more information about development opportunities with DoodyCalls, please visit here.
