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.
If you love animals, are an enterprise builder, and want to grow in multiple-territories, this is a fun 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. The national support center is selling this business, so the value received will be immense.
