About this Business
High income from a simple, recurring service most homeowners don’t want to do themselves. This route-based pet waste removal franchise generates $1.14M in revenue and $325K in cash flow, with steady growth built on subscription service.
Pet owners treat their dogs like family—and they gladly pay to keep their yards clean so they can enjoy them. Customers subscribe to ongoing service, creating predictable revenue, strong retention, and a 4.8-star Google reputation.
This is the largest independently owned location in the system, with scale and infrastructure already in place. The operation is supported by a team of 10 full-time and 4 part-time employees, including a long-tenured supervisor and lead technician. Work is scheduled and routed from a central location, allowing consistent coverage across all five territories.
Growth remains for a new owner who can step in and lead. This is a Pet Butler franchise with 5 territories operated from a centralized office. The northern territories are well developed, while the southern portion still has meaningful room to expand partnerships, presence, and customer base.
The buyer must reside within the territory. This opportunity fits a sales-minded, operational leader who can manage people and drive expansion. It is not a passive investment, though seller financing is available for qualified buyers, and the seller will support a smooth transition.
Inquire through this platform. Expect pre-qualification and NDA via email from Franchise Flippers.
