​DoodyCalls, founded in 2000 by Jacob and Susan D’Aniello in Northern Virginia, emerged from the couple's realization of a unique business opportunity in professional pet waste removal. Inspired by a radio segment discussing unconventional careers, they launched the company with minimal resources, handling all aspects of the business themselves while maintaining full-time jobs. Their commitment to exceptional service led to rapid growth, and by 2004, they began franchising the model nationwide. ​

Over the years, DoodyCalls expanded its services beyond residential dog waste removal to include commercial services such as pet waste station installation and maintenance, as well as common area cleanups. The company's dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction garnered media attention from outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Entrepreneur Magazine. In 2021, DoodyCalls joined the Authority Brands family, aligning with other prominent home service franchises to further its mission of providing clean and safe environments for communities. ​

Today, DoodyCalls operates in over 100 locations across 27 states, maintaining its reputation as a leader in pet waste management while staying true to its roots as a family-oriented business committed to excellence. ​
