Doodycalls Announces The Sale Of Its First West Coast Franchise

PALMYRA, VA (Wednesday, September 28, 2005) - Alan Pietrovito is the new owner of the first DoodyCalls franchise on the West Coast and is determined to rid Portland residents of the mounting problem of pet waste.

DoodyCalls is a national pet waste removal company that cleans dog waste from homeowner's yards on a twice weekly, weekly, or every other week basis. For apartment communities, homeowners associations, and parks, DoodyCalls keeps common areas cleared of pet waste, and sells and maintains pet waste stations to provide dog owners with sanitary and convenient places to dispose of pet waste when they walk their dogs.

DoodyCalls, the nation's first pet waste removal company to offer franchises, already has franchises operating in Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts, and now in Oregon. "As the nation's premier pet waste removal service we are excited to add Alan to our team and to bring our service to the West Coast," said Jacob D'Aniello, president of DoodyCalls Franchising, LLC.

Pietrovito is an experienced Portland business owner who, along with his wife Kathleen Capps, also operates a junk removal franchise covering the east side of Portland, Oregon and Vancouver, Washington. Pietrovito became interested in owning a DoodyCalls franchise after learning that another junk removal franchise owner recently began operating DoodyCalls in Maryland. “Pet waste is a growing pollution and environmental concern and it’s not a stretch to say we help people unclutter their lives, whether it be junk removal or pet waste removal,” said Pietrovito.

"Nearly half of all Portland households own dogs, and as dog owners ourselves we immediately realized the need for this service," said Pietrovito. "Between balancing work, family responsibilities, and increasingly long and frustrating commutes, people in Portland are becoming time-constrained," says Pietrovito. "DoodyCalls' service eliminates one of the most unpleasant and time consuming aspects of dog ownership and allows our clients to enjoy their free time more fully."

Rather than start from scratch, Pietrovito decided to work with DoodyCalls to bring a nationally recognized, professional pet waste removal company to Portland. “Buying a franchise gives us a jumpstart into the business. Franchising allows us to be up and running quickly with proven processes and procedures so that we can concentrate on exceptional customer service from the start,” said Pietrovito.

A resident of Portland, Pietrovito has a MBA from Boston University. He has many years of experience as a business owner, information technology consultant, and financial analyst.
