Q: Do you offer a satisfaction guarantee?

Q: What do you do with the dog poop?
We dispose of the waste by placing the bag in your roll-away trash can. If your trash can is kept inside your garage, we leave the bag next to the garage door farthest from the front door. We also offer removal of the poop bag for an additional charge of $10/month.
Q: Will you service my yard less often than once per week?
We do not offer bi-weekly service at this time. Our standard service is once per week.
Q: Do you service yards more often than once per week?
Yes, we offer twice-a-week service depending on your location. We charge double the normal weekly rate for this service.
Q: What about locked gates?
We carry a key ring for access, and if you have a code or combination lock, we enter the number into PILE for quick field reference.
Q: Do you lock and close the gate?
Our #1 Rule is to leave the gate as we found it.
Q: Our dog is a runner/escape artist. Is this a problem?
Your scooper is well trained to enter and exit your yard in a way ensures your dog has no opportunity to escape.
Q: I have a scary dog. Will you still scoop my yard?
Yes, we will. In most cases, we can build trust with the dog while you are present. If problems persist, we may ask you to either keep the dog inside or make other arrangements to ensure a safe service.
Q: Can I change my service day?
Generally, no. We are in most areas only once a week to maximize efficiency and keep prices low. We appreciate your understanding.
Q: Do you cover both the front and back yards?
Typically, we scoop one of the two areas, but arrangements can be made to cover both. There is an additional charge for weekly service for both front and back yards.
Q: Do I have to pay if I go on vacation?
Not if you take your dogs with you or board them. Contact us before your vacation, and we will credit you for the missed weeks.
Q: Is my scooping day ever going to change?
It is rare. There may be an occasion where a scooper schedule is changed to optimize the route.
If that happens. We will notify you at least one week in advance. We strive to minimize changes.

Q: Do you work in bad weather?
Yes, we work in all weather conditions as lo9ng as roads are safe and clear. However, extreme weather such as ice, snow, or heavy rain may delay our service. If rescheduling isn’t possible, we will clean up the accumulated waste during the next visit.
Q: I don’t mow my yard every week. Is this a problem?
Overgrown or leaf-covered yards can make waste harder to spot. While we strive to clean as thoroughly as possible, our warranty may not apply if the yard is difficult to access. Please assist us by keeping the yard reasonably maintained.
Q: Do you charge extra for the first visit?
Yes, we have an initial setup fee charged on the first visit. This fee is a one-time charge as long as the service is continuous.
Q: Do I have to sign a contract?
No contract is required. You can cancel our service at any time with written notice.
Q: Why are one-time scooping prices higher?
One-time scoops are often for yards that are heavily soiled. Our pricing reflects the additional effort required and our focus on recurring business.
Q: What is your bounced check/collections policy?
A $25 fee is charged for each bounced check, and the fee will be added to your bill. Accounts delinquent for 45 days or more will be sent to collections, with the fee passed on to the account.
