Buy a DoodyCalls Franchise

DoodyCalls is the leading pet waste removal franchise in the US, founded in 2000 and franchising since 2004. The brand provides exterior pet waste removal, odor control, and pet waste station installation and maintenance for residential yards, apartment complexes, homeowners associations, commercial properties, and dog parks. Franchises now operate across more than 30 states.

The model is home-based and mobile. Franchisees run territory-based operations with a team of uniformed technicians who visit properties on set schedules. Service offerings span recurring residential and commercial contracts, one-time cleanups, special events, and pet waste station supply and maintenance. Franchisees use PoopNet, the brand’s proprietary platform, for route scheduling, billing, and customer management.

DoodyCalls is part of Authority Brands, a multi-brand franchise portfolio that also includes Mosquito Squad, Lawn Squad, Woofie’s, and other home and property services franchises. Authority Brands membership gives DoodyCalls franchisees access to a broader operational infrastructure and shared resources across the group.

Why buy a DoodyCalls Franchise?

Pet waste removal occupies a niche within the broader pet services sector where recurring demand and low competition work in the franchisee’s favor. DoodyCalls is the established leader in this category, ranked #1 in Pet Waste Removal on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 in both 2023 and 2026. That recognition gives franchisees a credibility advantage in local markets, where brand trust drives customer acquisition more reliably than advertising spend alone. Authority Brands backing adds operational infrastructure and cross-brand network credibility.

The home-based structure requires no commercial lease, keeping overhead low. The recurring contract model produces predictable revenue that compounds as the franchisee grows their customer base; residential and commercial clients commit to scheduled weekly or bi-weekly visits. Franchisees use PoopNet for route management, and a national call center handles customer inquiries and appointment booking.

DoodyCalls – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    DoodyCalls franchisees complete an initial training programme covering 31.25 hours of classroom instruction and 12 hours of on-the-job training. Ongoing support includes Franchise Business Consultants who coach owners on growth, operations, and financial management, a national call center handling customer inquiries and appointment booking, and the PoopNet proprietary platform for route scheduling, billing, and customer management. Buyers of an existing DoodyCalls unit should confirm with the franchisor what initial training and PoopNet system access are provided to incoming ownership.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The DoodyCalls model suits operators who are comfortable managing a small team of field technicians and building a local customer base through consistent service and community presence. Prior pet-industry experience is not required; the franchisor's training covers operations, route management, and marketing. The role is operations-led and community-facing, with the owner focused on scheduling, quality control, customer retention, and territory development. Strong people-management skills and a systematic approach to local outreach matter more than technical knowledge of waste removal.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    DoodyCalls has been ranked on Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 in multiple consecutive years, most recently at #350 in 2026 (up from #352 in 2025), and has earned the #1 position in the Pet Waste Removal category from Entrepreneur in both 2023 and 2026. As part of the Authority Brands portfolio, DoodyCalls benefits from its parent company's broader industry standing and recognition across home and property services. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be considered alongside the specific territory's local reputation, customer reviews, and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US pet waste management services industry is valued at approximately $270 million (IBISWorld) and growing, driven by rising pet ownership and expanding urban dog populations. Around 65 million US households own at least one dog, sustaining recurring residential demand; apartment complexes, HOAs, and commercial properties represent a growing commercial segment as professional waste removal becomes a standard amenity expectation. The service is largely insulated from economic cycles, as outdoor sanitary maintenance remains a recurring need rather than a discretionary purchase.
