It’s like having a butler for your dog! We come to your yard, clean up what your dog leaves behind, and haul it away. It doesn’t get easier! If your dog can poop it, we can scoop it, removing the least pleasant aspect of dog ownership, because you and your family have better things to do with your time. Imagine never picking up your pet’s smelly waste again, and enjoying a cleaner healthier living environment for your family and pets. Our sevice promotes family peace; no more arguments over whose turn it is to keep the yard clean. We are also committed to helping the homeless and ill-treated animals locally by donating portions of our revenues to animal rescue organizations. When you sign-up for service; you are also signing up to help these animals waiting for the love of a family!
We charge by the ton…not really! It depends on how many dogs you have, how often we visit your home and the size of your yard. Please refer to our price list for weekly service starting at a surprisingly low cost of $12 a week. Ask about discounts and gift certificates.

In most cases we are able to do our job with your dog in the yard. We get along well with dogs; however there are some cases when a dog will not let our service worker into the yard. If you know that your dog is unfriendly with strangers or it becomes apparent that your dog will not allow us to service the yard, then we ask that the dog remain inside or safely penned when we are scooping. We don’t want to take unnecessary risks with your dog or our workers. Please let us know if your dog has ever shown aggression.
Anywhere your dog can go, we go. We understand that pet maintenance can be a messy and smelly job, we accept the challenge. When nature calls, we answer, boldly going where your dog has gone before. If there is ever an occasion when our work is not satisfactory, please let us know immediately. We will make it right by returning to re-clean the property withing 2 days. We cannot completely guarantee service under the following circumstances: high grass, weeds or ivy, standing water, excessive leaves and loose feces (diarrhea).
We throw it in your neighbors yard and leave a business card. Actually we bag it and haul it away keeping you from ever having to think about (or smell) it again.
You will not be charged if you call our office at least one day in advance. If the dog will be gone from the yard for a couple of weeks, we can hold service and you will not be charged for those days. This holding of service only occurs if your dog is not going to be in the yard during th HOLD period. We may need to charge an initial clean up fee if at restart, we find a larger than expected amount of dog poop. Gross Encounters of the Turd Kind should not be expected at a restart when the dog has been absent. There will also be adjustments for service missed due to extreme weather conditions or some other event beyond our/your control.
Sure! One-time or short-term service is available. We recommend subscribing to our weekly services, a better value and convenience.
