Buy a Cooper’s Scoopers Franchise

Cooper’s Scoopers is a pet services franchise built around residential and commercial pet waste removal, with dog walking, drop-in pet care and pet sitting sold alongside the core yard-cleaning service. Most customers are dog-owning households on recurring weekly schedules. HOAs, apartment communities and other commercial properties are served through pet waste station and common-area contracts.

The business is home-based and mobile. Background-checked, trained technicians work scheduled routes from a branded pick-up truck inside a protected territory, and customers book online, by phone or by text. The franchisor supplies the scheduling software, CRM and customer communication tools, and inventory needs are light.

The franchisor was formed in Virginia Beach, Virginia in December 2024 and began franchising in January 2025, so this is a newer system with a small, growing network. It is part of Loyalty Brands, the multi-brand franchisor led by John T. Hewitt, founder of Jackson Hewitt and Liberty Tax. Loyalty’s other pet brands include Zoomin Groomin, Salty Dawg and Hike Doggie.

Why buy a Cooper’s Scoopers Franchise?

For those looking to buy a Cooper’s Scoopers franchise, the appeal starts with the revenue pattern. Pet waste removal is a routine, repeat service that customers tend to keep once it is set up, and the added pet care lines give an owner more to sell to the same household, in a pet services category that has held up well across economic cycles.

The home-based, low-inventory setup keeps fixed overhead modest, and route density is the main lever: clustered stops are cheaper to service than scattered ones. Commercial accounts with HOAs and apartment communities can add contract revenue alongside residential routes. Loyalty Brands ownership puts experienced franchise builders behind a young concept, with sister pet brands in the same group.

Cooper’s Scoopers – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Franchisees complete 14 hours of classroom training over three days, held in Virginia Beach, Virginia, at another designated training centre or online. Sessions cover services, marketing, technician training, operations and software, and customer service. Ongoing support includes the required CRM scheduling software, QuickBooks Online for bookkeeping, free remote assistance by phone, video and webinar, operational playbooks and digital marketing assets. Buyers of an existing Cooper's Scoopers unit should confirm what initial training is offered to incoming owners and what CRM and customer data access transfers with the sale.

  2. Ideal Owner

    No pet-industry experience is required. The model suits a hands-on local operator who is comfortable with route-based field work in the early stages and with recruiting and managing reliable, background-checked technicians as the customer base grows. Results come from local marketing, consistent service and customer retention more than technical skill, so a process-driven, community-minded owner with a sales streak fits well. The brand also presents a semi-absentee option; in practice that depends on having a dependable field lead in place.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    As a system that began franchising in 2025, Cooper's Scoopers draws much of its credibility from its parent. Loyalty Brands is led by John T. Hewitt, who founded both Jackson Hewitt and Liberty Tax, and its pet portfolio includes the mobile grooming franchise Zoomin Groomin. The brand is listed in Entrepreneur's franchise directory, and its consumer pitch rests on background-checked, trained technicians and responsible waste disposal. For resale buyers, the reputation that counts most is local: Google reviews, HOA and property-manager references, and word of mouth in the specific territory.

  4. Industry / Market

    Americans spent $158 billion on their pets in 2025, up 3.7% on the prior year, with $165 billion projected for 2026 (American Pet Products Association, 2026 State of the Industry Report). APPA puts dog ownership at 53% of US households, or 71 million homes, with growth led by Gen Z, Millennial and Gen X owners. Its "other services" segment, which includes dog walking, grooming and boarding, reached $14.3 billion. Waste removal is a year-round service; resale buyers should check how local housing density, yard sizes and climate shape route economics in the territory.
