DoodyCalls is a professional pet-waste removal brand that offers reliable residential and commercial services, including routine dog-poop scooping and yard deodorizing.

“Hitting 100 franchisees is an exciting milestone, but what matters most is how we continue to support those owners as they grow,” said Larry Amos, brand president of DoodyCalls.

“We had a strong year in 2025, and that carried into the first quarter,” said Jordan Wilson, chief development officer.

DoodyCalls has ranked No. 350 on Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500 list, and No. 1 in the 'Pet Waste Management' category.

Last year, Kimberley Dilley made a career move that surprised her colleagues, trading her full-time career in pharma and biotech for the world of franchising.

Chris and Jen Lanagan have built a multi-brand franchise legacy with The Cleaning Authority and DoodyCalls, under the Authority Brands banner.

DoodyCalls franchisees serve 100+ territories with $8 to $16 weekly services
