OUR STORY

The Beginning
Told by Tom:

In 2010 just before Christmas, the company I had been working for was hit by the great recession of 2008. I had been an office manager for a very busy legal plan for roughly 5 ½ years. Unfortunately, like so many others at this time I found myself out of work. I never expected to still be looking for work nearly 2 ½ years later.

Through the course of searching for work, I reflected on how I had always dreamed of being self-employed - master of my destiny. In between applying for jobs, interviews, and job hunting, I researched business opportunities, hoping I might satisfy my dream of being self-employed. So many businesses required significant investment of $10,000 - $250,000 or more!

As we struggled to make ends meet during this time, my oldest son (9 years old at the time) volunteered to go to some of the neighbors and offer to clean up their dog poop to try and earn some money. Well, my wife and I “poo pooed” the idea, thinking he would be lucky to make a couple of bucks off each yard. Several months later when searching for business ideas, I came across the business of pet waste removal! Suddenly the idea of cleaning up pet waste did not seem so silly. I could not believe this was a viable business. So after apologizing to my wiser than his years son, we set out to make our dream of owning a business happen.

We started with me using our 2001 Hyundai Tiburon. We slapped some magnets on the side, used our Cricut to cut out some vinyl lettering for the back window, put a couple of large plastic totes in the back along with the tools, and started scooping!

We have been steadily growing ever since opening for business in 2013.

While scooping is not necessarily a “fun” job, we do enjoy hanging out with your 4 legged family members.

2015

As our business grew so did we! In 2015 we added deals to our truck. Our truck allowed us to better serve all our clients. Over the years we have serviced thousands of yards. In 2018 we hired our first staff member to help us keep yards and communities poop free.

Now

At any given time, we have hundreds of yards, HOAs and communities we work hard to keep poop free. Rain or shine our team members are out making sure to scoop the poop for each client we serve.
