Why dog owners choose Scoop Ease

More than a scoop service.

We show up on schedule, communicate clearly, and handle the work without disrupting your day.

Pet Safety First

We clean our tools and boots with a kennel-grade disinfectant after every visit, so we're not tracking germs or illness from one yard into the next.

Gate Photos, Every Visit

We snap a photo of your closed gate after each visit and send it your way — peace of mind that your dogs are safe before you even get home.

We're Insured & Professional

Every technician is trained, background-checked, and we carry full liability insurance. You're not hiring a neighbor kid — you're hiring a service.

Licensed & Insured — General Liability, $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. Certificate of Insurance provided upon request for any job.

You Don't Have to Be Home

We access your yard through your gate, do the work, and text you a photo of the closed gate when we're done — so you know your dogs are safe. No scheduling calls, no waiting around.

The Same Tech, Every Time

You'll get a consistent technician who learns your yard and your dogs. No rotating strangers — just a familiar face on a familiar schedule.

No Contracts, No Games

Start, pause, or cancel with 14 days' written notice. Our service earns your business week after week — we don't lock you in with long-term contracts.

Skip a Week? No Problem

Vacations happen. Just let us know and we'll hold your spot. No penalties, no fees. We'll be here when you're back.

Our approach

We build our routes around your yard and your dogs, then keep you on a schedule you can count on.

Scoop Ease started because we saw what "good enough" looked like in this industry — unreliable visits, impersonal service, and no communication — and knew homeowners deserved better.

We're a local, owner-operated service that takes pride in showing up when we say we will and leaving your yard genuinely clean.

  • Text photo of your closed gate sent after every visit, so you know your dogs are safe
  • Gate and property treated with care
  • All waste bagged and placed in your own trash bin
  • Pet-safe tools and procedures

Local matters

We live here too.

Scoop Ease isn't a national franchise operation dispatching technicians from across town. We're local — which means we know the neighborhoods, the schedules, and the community.

When something comes up, you're reaching a local team, not a call center. And when we say we know your area, we mean it.

  • Technicians assigned to your area — not across the city
  • Shorter drive times mean more consistent scheduling
  • Local contacts, not an 800 number

Who's showing up at your gate

Meet the person behind Scoop Ease.

Ned McIlwain, owner of Scoop Ease, with his dog Wesley

Hi, I'm Ned.

I started Scoop Ease to spend more time with my family and to show my three kids what it looks like to build something of your own — I'm not a fan of disappearing behind a desk all day, and I'd rather be out meeting the neighbors whose yards I'm taking care of.

I've had dogs my whole life. Right now it's Wesley, a four-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix with a white, heart-shaped patch on his chest — that's actually where the Scoop Ease logo came from, and it was my daughter's idea. When I show up at your gate, I'm not a rotating crew or a call center; it's me, treating your yard and your dog the way I'd want mine treated.

  • Owner-operated — I personally handle every visit right now
  • Local, family-owned, and invested in this community
  • Text photo of your closed gate sent after every visit, so you know your dogs are safe

01

📅
02
We schedule your service

A consistent day, every week.

Once you're set up, you'll receive a confirmed service day. We stick to it. You don't need to be home — just leave the gate accessible and we'll take care of the rest.


Have a dog who doesn't do well with strangers in the yard? Let us know and we'll work out a routine that keeps everyone comfortable.

03
Service day

We show up. We clean. We leave.

Our technician arrives within your service window, performs a thorough sweep of your entire yard, bags all waste, and removes it from the property. No piles left. No trace left behind.


Sanitizing spray is applied to tools between properties — we don't cross-contaminate yards.

🧹
📱
04
You get notified

Text confirmation when we're done.

After every visit, you'll get a quick text letting you know service is complete — along with a photo of your closed gate, so you know your dogs are safe before you even get home. No guessing whether we came. No checking the yard. You'll know.


If we ever encounter an issue — a locked gate, an aggressive dog in the yard, anything unexpected — we'll reach out before skipping a visit, not after.

What to expect

Our service standards.

These aren't aspirations. They're what every customer gets, every time.

Full yard coverage

We cover your entire property, not just the obvious spots. That includes fence lines, garden borders, and under play equipment.

Waste bagged & binned

Every visit, waste is bagged and placed in your own trash bin. If your bin isn't kept outside, we'll use a spot you and Scoop Ease agree on ahead of time.

Tool sanitation between yards

Equipment is disinfected before we enter any new property. Your yard doesn't carry what the last one had.

Gate latched on exit — with photo proof

Your dogs won't find an open gate. We double-check on the way out, every time, and text you a photo of the closed gate so you don't have to take our word for it.

Proactive communication

If something prevents a visit — weather, a locked gate, anything — you'll hear from us before the window closes.

No skipped visits quietly

We don't ghost. If we can't make your scheduled day, we'll reschedule for the same week.

What affects your quote

Three things go into your price.

That's it. We keep pricing simple so there are no surprises on your first invoice.

📐

Yard Size

Listed prices cover yards up to 1/8 acre. Larger properties take more time to cover thoroughly, so we price those individually — and fairly.

🐕

Number of Dogs

More dogs means more work. We account for this in every quote so your technician has the right amount of time.

📆

Service Frequency

Weekly service costs less per visit than bi-weekly. The more often we come, the more manageable each visit is.

Service Basics

We do a thorough sweep of your entire yard — not just the obvious areas. All waste is bagged and placed in your own trash bin. If your bin isn't stored outside, we'll use a drop-off spot you and Scoop Ease agree on. We also sanitize our tools before entering any new yard. After each visit, you get a text confirmation with a photo of your closed gate, so you know service is complete and your dogs are safe.

Yes. Every visit is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If anything's not right, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and re-clean at no charge, or credit your account — your choice.

We take it with us. All waste is removed from your property and disposed of responsibly. We don't leave bags at the edge of your yard or by your trash. Clean means it's gone.

No. Most customers are away during their service visit. Just make sure your gate is accessible and unlocked on service day. We'll take care of everything and send you a text when we're done. If your gate is locked or an unrestrained dog is out when we arrive, we'll contact you right away as a courtesy — but per our Service Agreement, that visit is skipped (not rescheduled or credited) and we'll pick up any accumulated waste on your next regular visit.

The full yard. We cover fence lines, shaded corners, under decks (where accessible), and near garden beds — not just the open grass. If there's an area you want us to be especially thorough about, just mention it when you sign up.

Yes. Tools are disinfected before we enter any new property. This protects your yard from anything the previous yard might have had — and keeps our service clean and professional.

We double-check your gate is closed and latched before we leave, every single visit — and we text you a photo of it as proof, so you're not just taking our word for it. For yards without a gate (invisible fence, open yard, etc.), we'll text a photo confirming the yard is secure instead. We know your dogs are family. Keeping them safe isn't an afterthought, it's built into how we close out every visit.

Yes — please have your gate unlocked and accessible on your scheduled service day. We won't climb or jump a fence to get in. If a lock or combination is easier for you, just let us know and we'll work with whatever access method you prefer.

Scheduling

Just let us know ahead of time and we'll hold your spot. No penalties, no fees. When you're ready to resume, we'll be back on your regular schedule.

Light rain doesn't stop us. If conditions are severe enough to affect service quality or safety, we'll contact you and reschedule for the same week whenever possible. We don't quietly skip and wait until your next scheduled day.

We're closed on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. If your scheduled visit falls on one of these days, service simply resumes on your next regularly scheduled visit — since you're only billed for the visits you actually receive, no credit or makeup is needed.

Your service day is assigned based on route efficiency in your area — grouping nearby customers together is what lets us keep the same technician on your yard every visit, show up reliably on the same day each week, and keep pricing fair instead of building extra drive time into your rate. If a specific day matters to you, mention it when you request your quote and we'll let you know what's available in your area.

That's the goal. We assign technicians to areas and routes, so you'll typically see the same person week after week. This also means your technician learns your yard and your dogs over time.

Billing & Pricing

Two-times-a-week starts at $110/month (+$40/mo per additional dog beyond 2), weekly at $65/month (+$20/mo), bi-weekly at $45/month (+$10/mo), and monthly at $35/month (+$5/mo) — all covering yards up to 1/8 acre. Yards up to 1/4 acre add $10/mo and up to 1/2 acre add $20/mo; anything larger is quoted individually. One-time cleanups typically run $75–150 depending on yard size and waste accumulation. Your exact quote can shift a bit based on yard size and dog count, but it won't be far from these numbers. See the Pricing page for the full breakdown, or request a quote for an exact number.

No long-term contracts. You can start or pause anytime, and cancel with 14 days' written notice. We think the service should speak for itself.

We bill on a recurring basis — typically monthly. You'll receive an invoice before payment is processed and we accept all major credit cards. We'll go over the billing specifics when we set up your service.

Yes. When someone you refer signs up for regular service, we add a free cleaning to your account — no limit on how many friends you refer.

Your Pets

For the safety of your dog and our technician, yes — we ask that dogs be inside or secured during the service visit. Most dogs are fine once they get used to the routine, but keeping them in during visits is our standard practice.

Let us know upfront and we'll factor that into how we approach your property. We're experienced with all kinds of dogs and situations — our job is to keep the service smooth for everyone, including your animals.

Absolutely. Multi-dog households and large breeds are common customers. Your quote will account for the additional volume involved — there are no surprise add-ons after you sign up.

Getting Started

Typically within one week of accepting a quote. Exact timing depends on your area and our current schedule, but we'll give you a confirmed start date when we follow up on your quote request.

New customers who sign up for Weekly or Two Times A Week recurring service get their first visit at no charge. This includes full yard coverage and waste removal, same as any regular visit. No hidden terms — it's a real first visit, on us.

Your name, address, number of dogs, and preferred service frequency. That's enough to generate an accurate quote. We'll follow up by phone or email — whichever you prefer — to confirm details and answer any questions before you commit to anything.
