July 11, 2007 - CAPE CORAL, Florida – Pet Butler is ridding Florida of pet waste. The company announced the opening of its ninth Florida franchise, making it one of the fastest-growing markets for Pet Butler’s pet waste cleanup and removal services. Mike and Patti Kelly and Joe and Linda Bertoni have teamed up to launch the first Cape Coral-area franchise of Pet Butler.

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, animal waste can ruin lawns and present a significant source of water pollution.

The Kelly-Bertoni Pet Butler operation, based in Cape Coral, offers weekly and twice-weekly pickup service to pet owners in Cape Coral, Ft. Myers, Pine Island, Sanibel, and Captiva. Pet Butler of Cape Coral will provide service to individual homeowners and their pets, as well as for multi-family communities and city dog parks.

“Floridians love their dogs and pride themselves on beautiful lawns,” said Patti Kelly. “Our services will give pet owners more time to spend enjoying their yards, without having to worry about stepping in something unpleasant.”

Both the Kelly and Bertoni families are companions to animals, with a total of four dogs between them. “People don’t know how dangerous pet waste can be to their family and how much it can damage their yards,” said Kelly. “We intend to help families keep their loved ones safe from harmful bacteria and help keep our environment clean.”

Mike and Patti Kelly are currently owners of two real estate companies, and Joe and Linda Bertoni are recently retired. Both couples look forward to working outdoors and providing their service to pet owners in the Cape Coral/Ft. Myers area.

Pet Butler is leading the growth in the professional poop scooping market, with 70 franchises across the U.S. Its other franchises in Florida are in Orlando, Jacksonville, Sarasota, Tampa, and Panama City Beach, and Port St. Lucie.
