January 31, 2007 - SAN DIEGO – Kim Rentschler of San Diego has opened the first San Diego franchise of Pet Butler, the nation’s leading pet waste cleanup service. It is the company’s sixth franchise office in California.

Pet Butler, based in Dallas, provides professional pet waste cleanup and removal services for individual homeowners and their pets, as well as for multi-family communities and parks. The company proudly bills itself as “#1 in the ‘#2’ business.”

Pet Butler charges a small per-visit fee to collect dog and cat waste, carry it away, and dispose of it properly. Whether in yards or in public spaces, accumulated domestic animal waste can ruin lawns and present a significant source of water pollution.

Rentschler’s Pet Butler operation will offer weekly and twice-weekly pickup services to San Diego including La Jolla, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Rancho Penasquitos, Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, Sorrento Valley, and surrounding areas.

Rentschler, who spent 23 years working for FedEx, says she looks forward to growing her business, with its opportunities for working with animals.

“In college, I spent three years studying to be a veterinary technician,” says Rentschler. “I have always loved animals and Pet Butler seemed like a great way for me to work closely with them. On top of that, it gives me the freedom to run my own business.”

Rentschler, owner of two Labrador Retrievers, knows just how important it is to keep a yard “poop-free.” She points out that “The residents in San Diego love their pets and make sure their pets are well taken care of. The city is good about urging pet owners to pick up after their pets, so residents are already aware of the benefits of poop scooping.”

Matt “Red” Boswell, CEO (Chief Excrement Officer) of Pet Butler, said Pet Butler is now the largest poop scooping company serving California, with franchises in the Bay Area, Orange County, and Beverly Hills.
