Question 1

How much does it cost to hire a professional pooper scooper?

Accepted Answer

Most clients pay between $180–$390 per month, depending on service plan, yard size, number of dogs, and visit frequency.
Unlike basic waste pickup, we’re licensed to sanitize and deodorize your yard — keeping it fresh, clean, and safe for your pets year-round.

Question 2

How often should I get my yard scooped and sanitized?

Accepted Answer

We recommend at least once a week to keep your yard clean and odor-free. Ideally, twice a week is best for maintaining a fresh and sanitary outdoor space, especially if you have multiple dogs. Regular service helps prevent bacteria buildup and keeps your yard safe for pets and family.

Question 3

Why is it important to sanitize my yard?

Accepted Answer

Sanitizing your yard eliminates a wide range of harmful pathogens that can affect your pets, family, and the environment. These include:
 • Bacteria: E. coli, Giardia, Salmonella, Leptospira, Listeria, and MRSA.
 • Viruses: Canine Parvovirus, Feline Panleukopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, Canine Distemper Virus, Hepatitis Virus, Swine Flu, and Avian Influenza.
This process not only protects against disease but also neutralizes odors, prevents the spread of infections, and deters pests like flies. It’s safe for pets, children, plants, and the environment when done with the biodegradable solution we use, giving you total peace of mind!

Question 4

Is Happy to Scoop licensed to sanitize and deodorize?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’re licensed by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) under a Qualified Applicator License. This means we’re approved to safely use professional products for sanitation and odor control. You’re getting more than just scooping; you’re getting licensed, insured service.

Question 5

Do you provide dog waste cleanup services all year round?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Happy to Scoop provides dog waste cleanup services year-round, including during peak summer and rainy conditions. We do close for major holidays and seasonally between Christmas Eve and New Years day.

Question 6

Do I need to be home for your service?

Accepted Answer

No, but please unlock gates, clear pathways, and remove excessive debris. You’ll receive an "on the way" notification 30–60 minutes before arrival. If we can’t access your yard, we’ll try to contact you. If there’s no immediate response, service will be skipped, charges will apply, and we’ll do a double cleanup next time.

Question 7

Do you provide arrival windows for services?

Accepted Answer

Our routes are optimized each evening to keep your service efficient and affordable. While we don’t offer exact arrival windows, you’ll receive a text notification 30–60 minutes before we arrive.

Question 8

Can I request a specific clean up day?

Accepted Answer

To keep your service consistent and on time, we assign cleanup days based on optimized routes in your area. This helps us serve you more efficiently and reliably each week. Thank you for your understanding!

Question 9

How do you dispose of the pet waste after each clean up?

Accepted Answer

We double-bag the waste and place it in your trash can. If your bin is full or unavailable, we’ll leave the bag neatly on the side of your house.

Question 10

Does Happy to Scoop clean the entire yard?

Accepted Answer

Unless otherwise specified, we will clean the entire backyard during each visit. If you’d like us to include front or side yards, or if there are any areas you don’t want cleaned, just let us know.

Question 11

How do you ensure the safety of my dogs?

Accepted Answer

At Happy to Scoop, client and pet safety are our top priorities. We use a kennel-grade disinfectant to disinfect equipment and shoes between each yard to prevent germ spread, and we provide gate photos after each visit to ensure your pets remain secure.

Question 12

Can you clean with my dog in the yard?

Accepted Answer

For safety, we require all dogs to be secured during service. This ensures a smooth visit and protects your pet while we clean and sanitize. We also recommend keeping pets off treated areas until dry (about 10–15 minutes). If a dog is loose or shows aggression, we may skip service or remove the property from our route.
