Name For Aquarium/pet Cage Cleaning Business

Posted by Anonymous on 10/12/2007 at 4:18 PM ET 50 Points
I plan to soon start an aquarium maintenance and pet cage cleaning service (cleaning small animal, reptile, and bird cages as well as litter boxes & other things a customer may need.) My market is mainly going to be elderly or handicapped people as well as those extremely busy pet owners who don't have time to clean out a fish tank, etc.

The only name I could come up with is Clean Critters, but that sounds too cheesy. I would like something alliterative or with my last name--Fontane, but I am female and getting married would probably make the business name a little off in customers' opinions.

Also, if my last name is part of the business name, I don't need a DBA, do I?

    Busy Pet Owner Helpers
    Pet Poop Pickups

    Unless your name is something special in the community, don't put it in the name of the business. Filing a DBA is no big deal.

    "The Pet Scooper"

    Hi Natalie,
    Here's an idea:

    "The Pet Scooper"

    Mypetscooper.com

    In the ad copy: How does this work?
    Here's the scoop

    You, Natalie, would be the Chief Pet Scooper, of course!


    PS: Have you thought about cleaning up back yards, too? I've read about a business that does just that for (I'm sure affluent!) dog owners.

    Oops! I meant you would be the Chief Pet Scooper-Upper (I got that idea from Jay!)

    I have considered cleaning yards, but I did want the majority of my customers to hire me to clean their aquariums and bird cages, terrariums, rodent cages, and the like. Poop is only a small part of it. Well, I guess it's a big part, but it's never what I think of when I clean them. I think of fresh new homes and clean pets.

    nataliefontane -- I like your idea "Clean Critters."

    Here are my name suggestions:

    Clean Swab

    Clean Scoop

    The Pet's Pal


    All the best to you.

    I actually am writing a novel about a pet store called Pet Pals. I've seen the name for businesses in the yellow pages, but not for the city I plan on starting the business in. I may just go with Pet Pals since I already had the name in use and since you don't think it sounds too cheesy.
