Pet Butler does the dog owners’ dirty work BY ALEX GALLAGHER Foothills Focus Staff Writer
P
et Butler has expanded its franchise and its plans are to keep growing. Cesar Jimenez has only been a franchise owner for a few months, but he has already witnessed the growth of dog waste services. Pet Butler prides itself on being “No. 1 in the No. 2 business” and offers more than a simple scooping service for its clients’ pets. “We’re a professional business doing the dirty business,” Jimenez said. Owning a Pet Butler franchise was a
natural fit for Jimenez and his wife, Rachel. As the owners of three dogs, they realized they spent a lot of time picking up after their animals. “My wife and I are both from the east coast and when we first moved here, we realized that the poop out here petrifies so we had to go out to our yard multiple times a week to scoop it,” Jimenez said. While visiting his parents in Georgia, Jimenez saw something that intrigued him. He saw another pet waste removal company’s truck driving around the neighborhood and thought that it could be an interesting business venture.
Jimenez looked into this concept. He then received a letter in the mail from Pet Butler stating it had opportunities to own a franchise. Cesar and Rachel jumped at the opportunity. “We got into this because it’s in the pet industry, which is something we both enjoy,” Jimenez said. Jimenez said he also believes his franchise best exemplifies the direction modern businesses are heading. “We believe that the future of business is in something that provides a service, a convenience or time back to do what you would like to do,” Jimenez said.
Once the franchise was purchased, Jimenez wanted to take it to the next level. “With the expanding real estate market and the increase in pet ownership during the pandemic, we thought this would be a good opportunity to buy into this business and take it to the next level,” Jimenez said. Jimenez’s three trucks cover the Valley north of the Salt River and has techs. They service about 75 residences a day, five days a week, and have more than 300 clients. Jimenez still wants to see his franchise grow.
