I was so excited to have the Dog Poo Crew come and clean up the poo. We have 2 seven month old pit puppies, and they are double work. I filled out the request and was responded to within the hour. Customer Service is over the top! My puppies do their poo on the concrete and not the lawn. Prices were laid out in…

I dog-sit at my home, so we had quite a few piles by the end of the winter, and they did an exceptional job. Will definitely use their services in the future!

They did an amazing job. Every bit was picked up and hauled away. They even cleaned in the river rock thoroughly!!!

Thanks so much! Three big dogs is a lot to keep up with, and we're happy to be scooping it for you every week. Glad you decided to go with regular services after your spring cleaning.

I was so excited to have the Dog Poo Crew come and clean up the poo. We have 2 seven month old pit puppies, and they are double work. I filled out the request and was responded to within the hour. Customer Service is over the top! My puppies do their poo on the concrete and not the lawn. Prices were laid out in plain English, no surprises. The appointment was made for yesterday, Wednesday. I was impressed since I had just reached out to them on Monday. They arrived and within 30 minutes the job was accomplished and well done! It was so nice to see the concrete clean again. And no more smells. Thank you very much! I will recommend them to everyone I know who has dogs. I've already decided I will be reaching out to them again@

Thank you so much! We're glad we could get in and out quickly for you. That speed works in your favor too since we charge by the hour, not a flat rate. Less time in your yard means a lower bill. No padding charges for easy yards here. We appreciate your trust in Dog Poo Crew and look forward to keeping things clean for you!

We have used Dog Poo Crew for years and it is my favorite lifestyle choice. The piece of mind of having a tidy yard especially during the winter keeps this unwanted household chore off my plate. Thanks Dog Poo Crew!
Response from the owner · 6 months ago
Thank you for being such a loyal customer! Keeping your yard clean all winter means no nasty spring surprise waiting for you when the snow melts. That's the bonus of year-round service we have provided since 2006! We truly appreciate your support!

We are very happy with the results. After the long winter we were in need of a spring clean-up. We were able to select a one-time clean-up and it was exactly what we needed. The rates were very reasonable. We are seriously considering getting on the Dog Poo Crew reoccurring maintenance schedule.
Response from the owner · 6 months ago
Thank you! Glad we could help after that winter. If you do decide to jump on recurring service, the best part is we work year-round, so spring will never look like that again and your yard will be kept up and ready for spring right when it melts!
