October 4, 2007 - DAYTON, Ohio – The husband-wife team of James Mowery and Lynne Gutman-Mowery have opened the first southwestern Ohio franchise of Pet Butler, the nation’s leading pet waste cleanup service. It is the company’s 16th franchise in Ohio.

Texas-based Pet Butler 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.

The Mowerys’ Pet Butler operation offers weekly and twice-weekly pickup service to Montgomery and Greene counties, as well as parts of Miami County.

“So many families in this area are hard-working, dual-income families,” said Lynne. “They love their pets and want to give them the best care possible, but they don’t have the time to give their yards the proper cleanup. That’s why Pet Butler is such a great service for this area.”

Lynne, who grew up in Beavercreek, worked as a child therapist before becoming a stay-at-home mom and now a “fecal matter removal technician” for Pet Butler. James previously worked in various information technology positions and will continue working for Instant Tax Service while helping Lynne on the weekends. Both Lynne and James say they have been looking forward to starting a business together and working with animals.

The Mowerys are human companions to a nine-year-old dog, Blue Bear, and a 14-year-old cat, Gabe, so they know how important it is to keep a yard poop-free. “Families don’t realize how much bacteria pet waste can carry. It can be very harmful to them and their pets,” said James. “We hope to help raise awareness of this as we keep families and their pets safe.”

Pet Butler is leading the growth in the professional poop scooping market. With close to 80 franchises across the U.S. In Ohio, Pet Butler has operations in Columbus and Toledo.
