Residential service

Your yard, scooped on your schedule.

Scoop N Piles cleans up the dog waste in your yard once, twice or three times a week, or as a one-time cleanup, for homes across the Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo areas. Weekly service starts at $19 a scoop.

What is residential dog waste cleanup?

It's a regular visit to your yard to pick up after your dogs, so you never have to. You choose how often we come: once a week, twice a week or three times a week. We also do one-time cleanups for a special occasion, a spring thaw or any time the yard needs a reset.

How often should we come?

It depends on how many dogs use the yard and how much time your family spends in it. Weekly service suits most yards. Busy yards and multi-dog homes often choose twice a week, so less builds up between visits. If your dogs are out all day, three times a week keeps up with them. Not sure? Tell us about your dogs and your yard and we'll help you pick.

What happens on a visit?

  1. 1We text you when we're on our way. You don't need to be home, as long as any locked gates are open for us.
  2. 2Our technician combs through the yard, lawn and the other areas where your dogs go, and picks up every pile.
  3. 3The waste goes into one of our sealed bags in your trash can.
  4. 4We make sure every gate is secured, then email you a photo of your closed gate.

Can my dog be outside while you're there?

Yes, if your dogs are friendly. If your dog is aggressive or you're unsure, please keep them inside: dogs are less likely to be protective when you're home, and our technician may be a stranger to them. Our technicians make sure all gates are secure when they leave.

What does it cost?

Weekly service starts at $19 a scoop for one dog. Your exact price depends on how many dogs you have, how often we come and when the yard was last cleaned up, and we'll confirm it before your first visit. There's no contract: services can be stopped and started at any time. Payment is made before service, by credit or debit card or check.

What about bad weather?

We don't scoop when the weather makes it unsafe or ineffective, such as snow, ice, heavy rain, lightning, high winds or frozen ground. We'll let you know if a visit is skipped or delayed, and when service resumes, all the waste that built up is removed at no extra charge.

Reviews

What West Michigan dog families say.

  • 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.”

  • Thank you for trusting us with your yard!

  • 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. 🐶”

  • 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”

    Lisa S.

    “My experience was amazing! Cleaned up the winters mess and was so respectful of our space.”

  • Mark D.

    “We are busy and frustrated with our office pet golden labs mess in our yard. Not being able to keep up. We looked at PooperTroopers for help. They came out and the piles were gone! Now they come once a week and we can concentrate on business. Thanks to Chuck and his crew.”

  • Jon H.

    “Pooper troopers does a great job cleaning up my yard”

    Lisa M.

    “Did such a great job with all my winter duties… I’m so glad I did not have to do it this year. I’m excited to have them back next week. And having more time for other projects.”

  • 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!”

  • 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.”

  • Anthony S.

    “Amazing experience! Went to work with a yard filled with months worth of poop-cicles from our 4 dogs, and came home to a clean fresh yard. Thanks Pooper Troopers!”

    Bill M.

    “Whether you need to have that huge end of winter clean up for your looking for something regularly then this is the place to check out. Josh did a great job. I would recommend.”

  • 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!”

  • Amber S.

    “Pooper Troopers came out for a spring clean up that was no small task. The crew member did an awesome job, I will be referring them to everyone i know with dogs!”

    Tammie F.

    “Josh from pooper troopers does an excellent job. Always notifies before arriving is friendly and makes sure my yard is always free of poop before he leaves.”

  • Courtney B.

    “I love their service! I never have to worry about picking up dog poop and they are great at communicating when they are on their way or any schedule changes. Highly recommend taking one thing off your todo list! Great price too! It’s worth even penny in my opinion.”

  • Chandra B.

    “Josh is amazing and always takes extra care to make sure everything is perfect and complete. We have a clean yard and happy pooches!”

    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!”

  • Corrina V.

    “We recently signed up for the cleaning service and have had a great experience. Thank you Heather for the absolutely incredible job, the pen looks great! I would highly recommend Pooper Troopers for maintaining your dog spaces 😉”

  • Michele R.

    “Lance made sure to notify us the night before and the day of when he was on his way Great communication, fast and efficient work. Awesome job! My husband just had a kidney transplant and he’s the one who usually picks up after our dogs and it was a relief that we found a company that would not charge and arm and a leg to help us out! We appreciate you. Thank you.”

While we do clean our yard prior to mowing throughout the year, the spring task can be daunting and we’re grateful to have found this local family owned business. Great price and great service! Thank you 😊”
