It’s a crappy job, but someone has to do it.
And Matt Boswell has made out quite well, thank you. As “chief excrement officer†of Pet Butler, he led his Dallas-based company to revenue of $4.4 million. It’s not exactly the career path he envisioned, but now he’s happier than a pig in — well, you get the idea.
“You have to get rid of your pride and say ‘Yes, I scoop dog mess and I am proud to do so,’†Boswell said. “There are 70 million dogs in the U.S. and all of them poop numerous times a day, and no one likes cleaning up after it.â€
He’s also proud that he has helped others find success as franchisees, and now he’s looking to help a few more by expanding into New Mexico, specifically Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
