Waste Removal Services Seem To Prove People Will Do Anything For Their Pets

Worcester Telegram:

There’s just no easy way around it. This story is about, ahem, what pets leave behind and the people who want to clean it up.

Jack Sheehy, engineer by day, DoodyCalls business operator by night, has launched what appears to be the first franchised ‘pet waste removal service’ in the Worcester area, and while some may twitter about his job, he has no qualms about it.

‘Some people get rich doing what they love,’ said Mr. Sheehy, a former Navy submariner who lives in Sterling. ‘I’m hoping to do well doing what people hate.’

DoodyCalls Franchising LLC, which is based in Charlottesville, Va., and has about 10 franchises across the country that are not owned by the company, offers to scoop poop from yards, kennels, dog runs, litter boxes, parks and just about any other place it might accumulate. It’s part of a pet waste removal industry that is filled with franchised chains and independent entrepreneurs. Full article.
