About this Business
Pet Butler is a multi-service business opportunity in the rapidly growing pet industry. Pet Butler franchise owners benefit from three primary areas of revenue:
1. Residential pet waste removal, also known as poop scooping.
2. Commercial services. We see a growing opportunity in housing for multifamily opportunities with amenities and green spaces for pets, but commercial services can extend into municipalities, HOA’s, Dog parks, and the service of Pet waste stations.
3. Pet Care – which includes pet sitting and dog walking. (This is an approved service that is not currently provided.)
If you love animals, this is a fun, multi-territory business with services that are impactful to the pets and families we serve. Minimal overhead and recurring revenue make this both scalable and profitable for both owner/operator and passive ownership business models owners.
Growth opportunities
Plenty of growth opportunities through expanded advertising streams and services. Simply tapping into the existing recurring customers with additional lines of service will grow the business immediately. Having local ownership networking in the market will provide further branding to develop even quicker. The business has been mostly operating from Plainfield, IL so building a local presence will be important.
