Pet Butler Franchise Information
Pet Butler is a franchise for a pet waste clean-up service. It was founded in 1988 cleaning up individual yards, multi-family communities, and parks.
After picking up the waste, they place it in a bag, disinfect it, and take it with them. They have 2 main objectives in putting up this business. First is to make pet owners life convenient, giving them more time to enjoy their pets and family. Second is to give services, time, and money for the animals, the community, and the environment. They are proud to have been successful in accomplishing both these goals consistently.
What exactly does Pet Butler do?
They make yards safe to play in and are currently providing this service to about 12,000 dogs and cats in a week in Northern America. They have licensed, insured, and bonded professionals. They have a support team that’s ready to answer your calls from 7am(EST)-6pm(PST). And if it’s before or after hours, you can send them an email. You can also set an appointment online 24/7. You may schedule scooping service once, twice, thrice a week or every other week or even a one-time service. Their schedules are very flexible, without contracts, so you can also cancel it with just a day’s notice. They can do their scooping even when you’re not home. They also do cleanups for cats.
They take the trash with them as they leave or if there’s a law in place in your area that it cannot be transported, they will double bag it and leave it where you want them to. In between cleanups, their tools and shoes are disinfected to keep viruses from being contracted and transferred to your yard. They also do enzyme sprays to lessen the effect of urine stains. All their technicians wear uniforms and their trucks are visibly labelled so you know that it’s them. Other services are Lawn Disinfectant Spray, Odor Eliminating Yard Deodorizer, Spray Off Deck or Patio, Piddle Post, and Don’t Go There which teaches your dog not to go to that area. They have a 100% satisfaction guaranteed within 24 hours or your technicians will be sent back to redo the job for free and refund you the initial payment.
