You’re staring out the back window of your house. What do you see? A beautiful green lawn. You absolutely love your backyard. But then you look a bit closer. And the reality of the situation draws you out of your daydream. You see those brown clumps scattered across the yard. Suddenly, that beautiful yard that you conjured up in your head is not so beautiful.
The culprit? Pet poop. And lot’s of it. Sure, we see TikTok and Facebook videos of pets who have been potty trained to use the toilet at home. But let’s be real. That’s not the vast majority of pets. Most pets, dogs specifically, will do their business when nature calls. And the yard? That’s their restroom.
But leaving all that pet waste to fester isn’t such a good thing. It can contaminate water sources and leave undesirable brown spots across the lawn, even when the poo is removed. So what are you to do? If you don’t want to head outside to do it yourself, hiring a pet waste removal service provider is the simple solution.
Not All Pet Waste Removal Service Providers are the Same
That piqued your interest, didn’t it? A pet waste removal service provider? Of course it did! Why pick up the poop if someone else can do it for you??
That’s right. We’re Easy Scoops. We’re in the business of pet poo. We pick it up so you don’t have to.
But, there’s a bit more to it than that. We believe in good pet owner stewardship. And, we have three guiding principles that make us the best pet poop picker-uppers in town. Here’s what we’re all about.
- We give you your time back: We know how busy pet owners can be. You may have kids, a job to balance, not to mention all the other things that go into adulting. So, we’re here to give you your time back by picking up your pet’s poop so you don’t have to.
- We want to help your yard look better: Remember that picture we painted at the beginning of this article? We get it. Taking care of a yard is a lot of work. The last thing you want is that unsightly—and stinky—pet poop taking over the yard. When we remove your pet poop on a weekly basis, we help keep your yard looking beautiful!
- We help your yard smell fresh: Do you delight in the smell of fresh-cut grass? Perhaps it is the lovely smell of the rose bushes or the lilacs that surround your deck that helps you relax when out in the yard. So, the last thing you want is that pet poo to mask the more pleasant scents of your yard. Our services help keep your yard smelling fresh.
So, this begs the inevitable question—what should you know when you hit up your favorite search engine looking for dog poop removal near me? The truth is that not all pet waste removal services are the same. Read on for what you need to look for.
5 Things to Look for in a Pet Waste Removal Service Provider
We don’t want to toot our own horn—okay, yes we do—but the truth is that we’re good at what we do for a reason. But, we know that not all of our competitors take the same approach. And if Easy Scoops isn’t yet in your area—we’re working on it—we want you to know what to look for in a pet waste removal service provider. And yes, we’re proud to say that we check all the boxes.
Okay, let’s get to it.
- Great Communication
You want a service that’s easy to talk to. Whether it’s setting up your weekly visits or asking for an extra scoop before that big backyard BBQ, a good pet waste removal company should be easy to reach and quick to respond. Look for a provider that communicates clearly, answers your questions, and makes scheduling super easy. After all, you’ve got better things to do than chase them down.
- Trustworthy and Reliable
Remember that backyard BBQ we just mentioned? Well, you certainly don’t want to step out into your yard shortly before your guests arrive to find out that your supposedly professional pooper-scoopers didn’t show up as promised. What are you going to do now when Fido’s poo is still scattered throughout the yard?
When hiring someone to visit your home regularly, trust matters. You need a pet waste removal provider that’s reliable and keeps their word. If they say they’ll be there every Wednesday, they need to show up every Wednesday. No exceptions. Check reviews or ask for recommendations to find a provider you can count on to do what they say they will, no matter what.
- Pays Attention to the Small Details
It’s not just about scooping poop—it’s about doing it right. A good service pays attention to the little things, like making sure all waste is removed, not leaving any behind. They’ll take the time to tidy up, leaving your yard in the best possible shape. If they’re rushing through the job, that’s a red flag. You want a provider that cares about the details as much as you do.
- Clean and Sanitary Practices
Let’s be honest—dealing with pet waste can get messy. A good provider should keep their tools and hands clean, using sanitary practices that prevent the spread of germs and bacteria. Look for a company that uses the right equipment and takes extra steps to avoid cross-contamination between yards.
- Fair and Transparent Pricing
We’d be remiss if we skipped out on talking about pricing. The truth is that these services don’t come for free, and we know that you don’t expect them to be. But, nobody likes surprises when the bill comes.
The service provider should clearly explain what’s included in their services and how much it’ll cost, without any hidden fees. Make sure to choose a provider that offers fair pricing for their work, so you know exactly what to expect each time.
