Hi 🙂

I’ve noticed a big influx of people online talking about poop scooping as the hot new service business, so I will share some of my story…

About 5 years ago, I was working a dead end social work job making $15 an hour, job hopping through my twenties, and honestly feeling pretty stuck.

I knew I wanted to start a business to escape the wage cage, but I was broke and needed something cheap to start, simple to hire for, not overly regulated, and not super saturated. It also needed to solve a real problem.

I was “this close” to doing carpet cleaning, but my business partner told me his wife had hired a pooper scooper company to clean their yard and told me to see if that had any potential.

At first I thought he was joking, but I loved the idea immediately.

Then I looked into it and found out the industry has actually been around since the late 1970s. Almost half of households own dogs, most people hate picking up dog poop, and a lot of people still do not even know this service exists.

We started with about $1,200, my Ford Escape, some basic tools, door hangers, yard signs, car magnets, and free Facebook group posts. 5 years later, we’ve cleaned over 300,000 yards and ranked the 10th Fastest growing company in WA state last year on the INC 5000 list.

Scooping Poop is a very real business if you treat it like one!

I can answer a few questions 💩
