Pet waste removal: frequently asked questions

While being a dog owner brings so much joy to our lives, there’s one stinky thing that can’t be avoided – the pet waste. Luckily, Scoop Soldiers offers a careful and consistent pet waste removal service that will help eliminate the odor, germs and unsightly piles of waste that accompany dog-friendly homes or properties. Because pet waste removal is a rather new industry, we put together a list of frequently asked questions to make researching us a little easier.

WHAT SERVICES DOES SCOOP SOLDIERS OFFER?

Scoop Soldiers services residential and dog-friendly commercial properties, including doggy daycares, hotels, apartments, condos and more. We offer packages for all of your needs from one-time cleanups for special events or multiple visits per week.

we can also include the front and side yards for an additional charge at your request.

Your soldier will sweep and scoop all areas in the backyard including grass, artificial turf, patios,  landscaped areas, flowerbeds, rock areas, pool decks, under trampolines, around playground equipment and everywhere else!  We can also include the front or side yard(s) upon request.  After scooping the waste your soldier will take it with them and email you a picture of your secured/locked gate to let you know the mission was completed.

CAN MY DOG(S) BE OUTSIDE WHILE YOU’RE SERVICING MY YARD?

Yes, please! We love our K-9 clients.  Your Scoop Soldier will likely become a welcomed visitor for your dog(s).  Of course, in some cases, your dog may not like visitors. If that is your pup then just let us know and we will make sure to never enter the lawn if they are outside and to give you a call in advance.

CAN I REQUEST A SPECIFIC DAY OR TIME FOR MY SERVICE?

Your Scoop Soldier will arrive and take captive all the waste on the same day(s) each week.  We invade most cities several days each week so just let us know your preferred day and we will do our best to accommodate your request!  Need to know when we are on the way? We can have your soldier call you when they are en route.

DO I NEED TO BE HOME WHEN YOU ARRIVE?

We do not require anyone to be home, as long as we have access to the mine-field. However, we love meeting our civilian clients – including the non-K-9 ones!

CAN YOU CALL BEFORE YOU ARRIVE?

We are more than happy to call you when we’re on our way! Just let us know if you would like a call ahead and we will notate that on your account.

DO YOU DEODORIZE OR SANITIZE YARDS?

Yes, we can apply a product that neutralizes odors from dog waste, urine, and vomit. Have artificial turf? This works on that too! Our mission is to take the stink out of pet ownership.

WHAT IF I NEED TO SKIP A SERVICE DAY?

Copy that!! Just call, email, or text our command center to skip your service.

I KEEP MY GATE LOCKED, HOW WILL YOU ACCESS THE LAWN?

We can keep the combination of your lock on file in order to be sure your Scoop Soldier can always access the battlefield.  Use a lock with a key? We provide free combination locks so you don’t have to worry about a key being misplaced or lost after the battle. If you would like one, just contact our command post.

WHAT ABOUT BAD WEATHER?

Rain, sleet, snow or shine, we’ll clear your lawn of land mines!  In most cases, we can wait out the storm and continue battling the stink of pet ownership. In cases of severe weather, we will monitor the storm and if rescheduling is necessary we ALWAYS email you to keep you up to date with the changes.

Do you charge during snow/snowmelt season?

During certain times of the year, some markets (such as Salt Lake City and Colorado) may conduct the first scoop at a higher rate.  Also, if weather conditions are too dangerous for troops to deploy, the standard scoop rate will still be charged due to a more lengthy visit at the next occurrence.

WHAT IF THE SOLDIER MISSED SOME LANDMINES?

All of our services are backed with our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee!

HOW DO YOU BILL FOR THE SERVICE?

Our Scooping Services are billed the day after your service is completed.  We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.  All clients have access to their account through this website.  From the website you can manage your account, ask questions, request or adjust service, and report concerns. You can also see your account balance, invoice and payment history.

DO YOU OFFER ANY DISCOUNTS?

Yes! As a small way of saying thank you, all active-duty military members, reserves, retirees and veterans of the United States Armed Forces and First Responders are offered 10% off all services.

IT’S GETTING LATE, ARE YOU STILL COMING?

Our soldiers work during daylight hours.  During certian times of the year  As long as there is light for us to see we are battling the stink in our clients lawns. If there is ever a delay we will notify you via email and your visit will be rescheduled for the following day.

DO YOU DO BACKGROUND CHECKS ON YOUR TECHS?

Yes! We do a background check on every employee.

SHOULD I NOTIFY YOU IF MY DOG IS SICK?

Yes, please do! While we already take measures to prevent the spread of illness and disease, it is best to notify us if your pup is sick so we can take extra precautions if needed.

WILL I HAVE THE SAME TECH?

To build a relationship with you and your pup(s) a technician is assigned to your account. Don’t be surprised if you see a new face though, it just means your tech called in reinforcements!

Do you need external access to my backyard?

Yes, our soldiers must have access to your backyard from an external entry point such as a gate. For that reason, we are unable to scoop areas such as apartment balconies, or homes where backyards are only accessible by entering through the home.

Let Scoop Soldiers handle the dirty work while you focus on your four-legged friends. Schedule your first scooping appointment today!

We are so sure of our quality pooper scooper service that we offer a 100% Iron-Clad, Money Back Guarantee. Our standard operating procedure is perfection, but when things aren't up to par, let us know and we'll come back and make it right for FREE. You are the sergeant, and you let us know when our work isn't to your standards.

Your dogs are your best friends - and they are the best part of your day. You love playing fetch, going for walks, and snuggling on the couch. In fact, there is nothing about your pups that you would like to change - except maybe all the poo they leave around your yard.

If we are being honest, all the mess left behind by your dogs can make the use of your yard a bit difficult. Having to watch where you step every time you want to play with your kids outside is like dodging landmines. And what is worse is that little slide you do when you accidentally plant your foot down in the wrong spot. Talk about ruining some quality time.

At Scoop Soldiers, we swing by your property, take care of cleaning up your dog’s business, and then we are on our way to engage in battle somewhere else. You are left with a beautifully clean, fresh yard to enjoy without worry.

Scooping pet waste is a part of pet ownership that doesn’t exactly bubble to the top of anyone’s list when bringing a four-legged friend home. Luckily, you have Scoop Soldiers on your side. Our technicians are highly trained, meaning we find all of the piles, big and small, in the yard, on the patio, and in the flower beds. At Scoop Soldiers we know that you’ll be so thrilled and delighted with our service that you’ll inevitably find yourself telling your friends and neighbors.

In fact, it may not even be necessary for you to tell your friends and neighbors since they’ll be able to walk carefree through your yard without slipping and sliding on a hidden trap. Your visitors won’t be the only one’s content with your cleared yard of course. You and your family will once again be able to enjoy your yard without having to watch where you roll, step, or sit.

Fortunately, the battle against pet waste is easily won with Scoop Soldiers. Our soldiers will stop by, enter your yard, scoop up the waste, and take it with them. The best part? You’ll receive a photo of your locked gate straight to your email after service, ensuring your fortress is secure.

I started using Scoop Soldiers about 6 weeks ago, and have been thoroughly impressed. The quality of work is excellent, and the communication is great. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone else.

Mike C.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I am so happy that I found this company. We have had the 2x weekly cleanup and quarterly sanitization service for about a year, and I couldn't be happier. They always show up and text before they arrive. Matt is professional and polite, and we always receive an email with a picture of our closed gate after the service is complete.
