Pooper Scooper Service FAQs
Standard weekly residential dog poop removal starts at $16.75 per visit for one dog, $19.25 for two dogs, and $21.75 for three or more dogs. Twice-weekly and monthly plans use different per-visit rates. Properties of one-half acre or larger add 20%, and there are no separate zip code or trip fees within our published service area. HOAs, apartment complexes, and commercial properties are quoted separately, so request a commercial proposal for those.
Weekly poop pickup is the usual choice for one or two dogs. Twice-weekly service works better for multiple dogs, small yards, shared spaces, or families that use the lawn every day. Monthly service can fit a lightly used yard, but it leaves more buildup between visits. We can adjust the schedule when your needs change.
Yes. More dogs create more material between visits, so the rate changes by dog-count tier. Standard weekly residential service starts at $16.75 for one dog, $19.25 for two, and $21.75 for three or more. The quote form applies the correct tier before you book, and adding a dog later is easy.
Yes, we scoop through Colorado winter. After snowfall, the technician clears every safe, visible part of the yard and notes sections still covered by snow. As melting exposes more ground, we catch the remaining waste on later visits. If ice or another condition makes service unsafe, we reschedule and send an update.
No. Give us the gate and access instructions when you enroll, keep the service area accessible, and make sure dogs are safely inside unless you have arranged otherwise. The technician sends arrival communication, completes the yard search, latches the gate, and leaves without requiring you to interrupt work or wait at home.
The first cleanup removes the buildup that accumulated before recurring service began, so it takes longer than a normal route visit. It usually costs $20 to $150 based on how long it has been and how much material is present. The online quote gives you that range rather than an exact number, because how long the first visit takes depends on what is actually back there. We confirm the exact amount with you before any work starts, usually when the technician gets eyes on the yard, or by phone beforehand if you would rather know first. Regular plan pricing begins after that reset.
The technician bags the collected dog waste and hauls it off-site. We do not leave filled bags in your yard or add them to your household bin. Tools and footwear are sanitized between properties, and the gate is checked before departure. That complete visit workflow is included in recurring residential service.

Yes. We carry general liability insurance, which covers your property, and our trucks are insured. We also carry workers' compensation for our crew, so if a technician gets hurt in your yard that is our policy's job and not something you are left sorting out. If you, your HOA, or your property manager needs a certificate of insurance on file, ask and we will send it.
Usually one of two people. This is a family business and the owners still run routes, so there is a fair chance it is one of them. Otherwise it is one of our trained, background-checked W-2 employees, and you will tend to see the same person week after week rather than whoever picked up the job. Either way they arrive in uniform and a marked truck, and you get a text when they are on the way.
No, and it is worth asking anyone you are comparing us against. Everyone who services a yard is on our payroll as a W-2 employee, background checked before their first route. That costs more than handing work to contractors would, since payroll, training, uniforms and insurance all sit with us instead of with the person holding the scoop, and it is the difference between running a crew and running a booking page. If something goes wrong in your yard, there is no question about whose responsibility it is.
We accept credit and debit cards. Recurring service is billed once at month end to the card on file, while the online quote shows the service rate before you enroll. If you have a billing question or need help setting up payment, call (720) 697-2667.
