Andy, our Grand Rapids technician, covers the Grand Rapids area. On every visit we text you when we're on the way, comb the whole yard, leave the waste sealed in a bag in your trash can and email you a photo of your closed gate. You don't need to be home, as long as any locked gate is open for us.

Local rules

Kentwood's pick-up rules.

  • Pick it up immediately

    Kentwood's Code of Ordinances (Sec. 34-90, added in 2023) says no one in charge of an animal may let it defecate on public or private property other than their own unless they immediately collect and properly dispose of it. Violations are municipal civil infractions: $65, then $130, then $250.

  • Check the signs at each park

    Kentwood's parks offer everything from a dog park to nature trails, and rules can differ from one amenity to the next. Check the city's current park information and the signs when you arrive.

Where the waste goes

Kentwood's pick-up rule sits in the city's litter chapter, alongside the other things that shouldn't be left on the ground. Rain carries what's left on a lawn toward the street drains, so a yard picked up every week keeps it out of the water.

    Ed B.

    “Pooper Troopers is great!”

  • Mark D.

    “We do dog sitting for my son and occasionally for my sister in law. We're not used to cleaning up the messes but we learned about Pooper Trooper of GR. We call them when the pets are here and they take care of that. No more stepping on a pile when I mow the grass.”

  • Emily H.

    “Highly recommend their services! We are part of their bi-weekly program and it has been the best service we have ever signed up for! Give your dogs the backyard they deserve”

    Jodi D.

    “So much easier than getting my husband and kids to do it. They do a great job.”

  • Deberah T.

    “I have been using Pooper Troopers for nearly 2 years now. They have done a great job on a weekly basis keeping my yard cleaned up for myself and my dog. It’s a job that I really did not like having to do and it’s great as they also work throughout the winter as well. They always let you know they’re on their way each visit and after they have completed the service. I highly recommend them and the service they provide. 🐶”

  • Jill C.

    Heather

    “Great friendly team! Excellent performance. Thank you so much for services, everyone was so polite and respectful, very fast yet thorough, just an all around pleasant experience! Keep up the great work!”

  • Margaret A.

    “I highly recommend pooper troopers I used them this spring after the snow was gone. They did a fabulous job. You would never have known I had a dog. They were promt and efficient. I clean up after my dog until the snow flies. The yard looked wonderful. I will use again come spring.”

  • Bonnie C.

    “Eric did a Great job! Great communication and arrival was on time. I wish there was a “sanitizer “ to put down to eliminate order on the “smeared” spots. Overall I recommend Pooper Troopers”

  • Courtney B.

  • Heather

    “This was our first time using Pooper Trooper, not only was scheduling fast and easy, our tech Kyle did an amazing job! He was fast and quiet, he didn’t even set the dogs off!! Our dogs bark at the wind blowing, so that was a bonus! Thank you for your service! Our second week of services and Heather was fantastic!!! She wasn’t even bothered by our children playing in the yard and pestering her!”

  • Darla L.

    “Best decision ever to have help w the large loves! Get to spend more time loving on the dogs and not having to clean up after them!”

  • Carrie H.

    “He is nice and friendly with Miss Coco. The service is done in a timely manner, especially after the first time. I like that you get a notification when Troopers is on their way and you don’t need to interact if you’re not feeling social, they just get to work!”

  • Jayme F.

    “Heather did an incredible job of getting up all of the dog poop from our yard (in the rain, so definitely extra credit there). We have a large dog and the after-winter clean-up is substantial. I cannot overstate the value of having Pooper Troopers come out and take care of it, as it is difficult to find time to get out and clear it all right now. Thank you for the excellent job, Heather!”
