How Does a Pooper Scooper Service Work?
A pooper scooper service works simply: you get a quote, schedule regular visits, and a technician comes to your yard on a set day to remove all dog waste. You do not need to be home, and there is no contract. Weekly service from Scoop A Lot starts at $125 per month.
Here is the process from start to finish, so you know exactly what to expect before you sign up.
Key takeaways
- You request a quote with your town, number of dogs, and yard size.
- A technician visits your yard on a set day each week to remove all visible waste.
- You do not need to be home, and there is no contract to sign.
- The first cleanup is free when you start weekly service.
Step 1: Getting a Quote
The process starts with a quote. You provide your town, the number of dogs you have, and your approximate yard size. Scoop A Lot uses that information to give you a straightforward price with no surprises.
You can request a quote online or call 774-234-7118. There is no obligation, and you can ask questions about scheduling, service areas, or anything else before deciding to start.
Pricing is based on the number of dogs, yard size, service frequency, and the condition of the yard. Weekly service starts at $125 per month, and larger yards or more dogs cost more. See our pricing page for a full breakdown.
Step 2: Scheduling Your First Visit
Once you decide to start, Scoop A Lot schedules your first visit. If you are starting weekly service, that first cleanup is free. The technician comes out, scans the entire yard, and removes all visible waste so you start with a clean slate.
If your yard has months of buildup, the first visit may take longer than a typical weekly cleanup. That is expected, and it is included in the free first cleanup when you start weekly service.
You do not need to be home for the visit. As long as the technician can safely access the yard, the cleanup can be completed while you are away. If you have a locked gate or a dog that needs to be inside, let us know when scheduling.
Step 3: Regular Weekly Visits
After the first cleanup, the technician returns on a set day each week. Each visit follows the same process: walk the yard, remove all visible dog waste, and dispose of it off-site. The visit typically takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on yard size and the number of dogs.
You do not need to be home for regular visits either. The technician comes on the scheduled day, and you will know the yard has been cleaned when you see it. If weather prevents a visit, it is rescheduled, and you are not charged for missed visits.
If you need to pause service for a vacation, schedule change, or any other reason, you can do so at any time. There is no contract, and you can adjust your schedule as needed.
Step 4: Add-Ons and Adjustments
If your yard has odor problems in high-traffic areas, you can add odor control treatment to your regular service. This is a pet-safe deodorizing treatment applied after waste removal. It is optional, and you only pay for it if your yard needs it.
If your situation changes, you can adjust your service. Adding a dog, moving to a new house, or changing from weekly to bi-weekly are all easy adjustments. Just call or request a change online.
