The Wolf’s Take 🍟

Yes, we’re talking about cleaning up after pets, but hear me out—this is a business with real potential.

DoodyCalls taps into a huge (and often overlooked) market. Pet ownership keeps growing, and as people’s lives get busier, services like this become more essential. From residential clients who just don’t have time to clean up after Fido to commercial properties that need consistent maintenance, DoodyCalls has established a loyal customer base that keeps coming back.

The financials look solid too. With a franchise fee of $49,000, plus a 7.5% royalty and 1.5% brand fund, it’s a fairly accessible investment for a service-based business. The recurring revenue model is the real draw here—people with pets will always need someone to handle the dirty work. Literally.

If you’re looking for a franchise that lets you control your schedule, be your own boss, and still tap into a growing, consistent market, DoodyCalls is worth a closer look. Plus, who knew poop could be so profitable?
