Has anyone ever heard of this line of work?

Iceman · Jul 10, 2006

I heard about this a few years ago on a radio station and actually thought about starting my own business (never really seriously though)

I know for a fact there are none of these in my hometown or surrounding areas and I would hire someone to do this.

Dog Poop Picker Upper. Go to customres homes and p-up dog poop in there yard. Have contracts and charge so much a dog/home for a wekly trip. I know I would pay someone $10 bucks a week for this nasty chore. Only problem is you would need 100 houses a week to get this off the ground.

How Does Your Pooper Scooper Service Work?
We’ll take care of your entire yards dog poop on a prescheduled, routine basis so you never have to scoop it ever again.

The Poop Butler Pooper Scooper in Orange County will visit your home or commercial property weekly or every other week.

There are no contracts at all. Start or stop your dogs pooper scooper service in Orange County with a single call or email.

We access your lawn or other property in a way that ensures your dog will remain in the yard while prioritizing home safety.

We scoop all the dog poop your dogs leave behind in a professional manner and typically leave the dog poop in your trash.

We utilize various anti-microbial solutions to clean our equipment. These techniques deter *potential* cross contamination.

We serve as your second pair of eyes. We’ll even fill water bowls if needed and you have notified us that you prefer this.

We will notify you if your dog’s poop contains objects they have eaten, the possible presence of worms or loose stools.

While scooping we may notice that your dog is withdrawn or seemingly doesn’t feel or look well. We’ll disclose that to you.

Please keep an eye on us for the first few weeks to guarantee we have not overlooked your dogs favorite poop places.

Unfriggingbelievable.

People who are too lazy/irresponsible to pick up their own dogs' poop should not be allowed to have pets. Same holds true for children.

The pet walking/playing service is great though
For single parents/working adults that would like for their dog to have some playtime during the day?
Even if you did it 2 times weekly or so...that would be an awesome service....

They charge $20 per 40 mins.......
If you are single, live alone and have only one dog.....I could see that making some bucks....

Yes...I use a service like that I have 2 large dogs and 1 med size dog..They come out 2 times a week and clean up my yard. It is much easier than fighting with the kids to do it. The person I use has more Bus. than they can handle they say. It is the best 120.00 a month I spend............G.

Yah, but people get travel assignments and/or 'mandatory' overtime, take on a second-job, need to care for a sick relative not living at home, etc.

Things change, no need to be a home-bound slave.

I agree. Bottom line if you have the money and it is a service you want done and don't want to have to do it, than pay someone to do it.

I take my dogs on 3 (minimum) walks a day and love them more than anyone/anything in the world. I take full responsibility for their EVERYDAY life, which includes coming home early from bar/work and no going on vacations because of the commitment of being an owner.

Like oil changes. I know how to change my oil and I would rather pay for it than have to deal with the mess.

You have to be in a pretty affluent area

Trust me...if you live near a ghetto, or in a not so nice area...these people aren't going to be dishing out $120 a month...or you're going to get so many bounced checks/late pays it will be crazy

The guy I posted about above is in Orange County California...people are buying their dog $1000.00 leashes
