2. Franchise Overview
Overview
DoodyCalls is a pet waste removal and management service. They have been in the market for over 25 years and provide residential and commercial customers with reliable waste removal and odor control solutions. DoodyCalls has developed a strong reputation as the nation's leading pet waste removal franchise, ranked #1 by Entrepreneur Magazine, giving owners an edge in a $3.5 billion industry with low competition. In addition, they provide a turnkey home-based business model with comprehensive training, multiple recurring revenue streams, and extensive corporate support, though their most successful driver is consistent demand from the growing pet ownership market.
Management team / founders
In 2000, Jacob D'Aniello and his wife Susan founded DoodyCalls in Northern Virginia with just $50 between them, turning a side hustle into the nation's leading pet waste removal company. They grew the business from the ground up, began franchising in 2004, and built it into the largest pet waste management franchise in the world before selling to Authority Brands in 2021. Today, Larry Amos serves as Brand President and COO, and Paul Delaney, a franchise owner of nearly 20 years and military veteran, serves as Vice President of Operations. With over 100 locations across 27 states, DoodyCalls is dedicated to the continued success of franchisees. Franchise owners are assisted with every step prior to opening, as well as with continuous support from the management staff and dedicated business consultants. Extensive training is provided to help owners grow their businesses, even with no prior experience in the industry.
