Manatee pet waste removal company scoops up competitor

A Parrish-based poop-scooping business has expanded its reach thanks to a recent acquisition.

DoodyCalls on the Suncoast — which serves Sarasota and Manatee counties and St. Petersburg — has acquired Clearwater-based pet waste removal company ByBypoo. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. 

"We are thrilled to welcome ByByPoo's customers to the DoodyCalls family," says Kara Kelsey, co-owner of DoodyCalls on the Suncoast, in a statement. "This acquisition aligns with our goal to provide the best possible service to our clients and contribute to cleaner, healthier communities. ByByPoo's dedication to customer satisfaction mirrors our own, and we look forward to building on their success."
