May 6, 2025
Starting a dog poop cleaning service might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about owning a business, but it’s one of the smartest moves you can make. At DoodyCalls, we’re showing people across the country how to turn an overlooked need into a reliable, community-focused business.
If you’re wondering what it’s really like to franchise with DoodyCalls, we’re answering the most common questions we hear – from startup costs to training to whether or not you’ll actually have to scoop poop.
Who Can Start a Dog Poop Cleaning Service with DoodyCalls?
You don’t need to be a pet professional or business expert to get started. In fact, many of our franchise owners had no prior experience in pet waste removal or franchising before launching their business. If you’re driven, ready to learn, and want a flexible way to build something of your own, a dog poop cleaning service franchise might be a great fit.
DoodyCalls is an opportunity open to people from all walks of life – first-time business owners, career changers, and service-minded entrepreneurs alike.
How Much Does It Cost to Start a Dog Poop Cleaning Franchise?
According to our 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), the initial franchise fee is $39,900, and the total initial investment ranges from $76,450 to $93,850. Many franchise owners appreciate that franchising can help make business ownership more accessible than starting on your own.
What Kind of Training Will I Get?
When you franchise with DoodyCalls, you’ll start with Poop School, our comprehensive training program that covers everything from operations to customer service to marketing. But the support doesn’t stop there.
You’ll also receive:
- Personalized business coaching
- Ongoing webinars, workshops, and training events
- Access to an experienced network of franchise owners
- Marketing and operational tools to help you grow
Whether you’re hands-on or prefer to manage from a distance, we’ll help you build your dog poop cleaning service with confidence.
Is the Pet Waste Removal Industry a Good Business Opportunity?
Yes! The pet industry continues to grow, and homeowners and property managers are looking for reliable help keeping their outdoor spaces clean. A dog poop cleaning service like DoodyCalls provides a recurring service that people need, not just want, making it a strong foundation for a stable, scalable business.
You’ll also benefit from being in a niche market with minimal competition and the potential for high demand.
Will I Have to Scoop Poop?
Not necessarily. Some franchise owners do the scooping themselves when they start out, but it’s not required. You can hire technicians to handle the daily service while you focus on growing the business. The DoodyCalls model is designed to support both owner-operators and those who want to build a larger team. You choose how involved you want to be in the hands-on work.
What Services Will My Dog Poop Cleaning Business Offer?
DoodyCalls offers multiple revenue streams for franchise owners, including:
- Residential yard cleanup
- Commercial property services
- Pet waste station installation and maintenance
- Community and event cleanups
With several service offerings, your dog poop cleaning service can expand to meet the needs of your local market and grow as demand increases.
Can I Make an Impact in My Community?
Absolutely. Pet waste might not be glamorous, but it’s an issue that affects public spaces, community health, and overall quality of life. As a DoodyCalls franchise owner, you’ll help keep neighborhoods, parks, and properties clean and safe, all while building a business that supports your goals.
