Can You Hire Someone to Pick Up Dog Poop? Yes, and Here's How It Works

Yes. You can hire a pet waste removal service (also called a pooper scooper service) to clean your yard on a set schedule, usually once a week. A scooper comes to your home, clears the whole yard, bags the waste, and leaves. You never touch it.

If you just said "wait, that's a thing?", you're in good company. Plenty of people find us while searching for a way to deal with the yard, not for a service they didn't know existed.

How a pet waste removal service works

1. You pick a plan. Pricing is based on the number of dogs, not the size of the yard.
2. We come on the same day every week. You don't need to be home. We only need access to the gate.
3. We sweep the full yard and bag everything we find.
4. We close the gate behind us and send you a photo, so you know the job is done and your dogs are secure.

What it costs

At Rocky Bowboa Pet Waste Removal, weekly service is $25 a week for one dog, $30 for two dogs, and $38 for three or more, billed every 4 weeks. There is no contract and you can cancel anytime. If the yard has fallen behind, a first-time cleanup starts at $50.

Who uses a service like this

• Busy households where nobody has the time (or the desire)
• Families who want the kids to use the whole backyard
• Homes with several dogs, where it piles up faster than anyone can keep up
• Anyone who physically can't scoop, or would simply rather not

Is it safe to let someone into my yard?

Fair question. Look for a company that is licensed and insured, closes and photographs the gate on every visit, and asks about your dogs' temperament before the first visit. We do all three.

Where we work

We're locally owned and serve Ascension Parish (Prairieville, Gonzales, St. Amant, Dutchtown, Sorrento, and Geismar) and Baton Rouge.

FAQ

Is there really a service that picks up dog poop?

Yes. Pet waste removal companies clean residential yards on a weekly or every other week schedule. Many also service apartment communities and HOAs.

Do I have to be home?

No. As long as we can reach the gate, we handle the visit and send a photo when it's done.

What happens to the waste?

It's bagged and left in your trash bin. If you'd rather we take it with us, haul-away is $12 per 4-week cycle.
