Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule a pickup?
Weekly is the gold standard. It keeps pests down, protects your lawn, and keeps per-visit costs low.
Does my dog need to be inside during pickup?
Most pros are fine with dogs outside — but you'll confirm preferences when you book.
What about bad weather?
Most pros reschedule during extreme weather (ice, heavy snow, severe storms). Light rain or snow is typically no issue.
Can I get a one-time service instead of weekly?
Absolutely. Great for spring cleaning, pre-party prep, or testing out a pro before committing to weekly.
Do pros bring their own bags and tools?
Yes, always. You don't lift a finger.
What do they do with the waste?
Most pros bag it and either take it with them or place it in your outdoor trash bin.
