Core offering

Poo Patrol is a recurring dog waste removal service that physically scoops pet waste from residential yards and commercial properties across 75+ Iowa towns on weekly, twice-a-week, bi-weekly, or one-time schedules. The company also installs and restocks pet waste stations for commercial clients (HOAs, apartment complexes, dog parks) and offers a pet-safe Yard Deodorizing add-on that neutralizes residual odor on lawns, patios, dog runs, and artificial turf. Billing is monthly subscription-based with no contracts and the ability to pause or cancel anytime.

Product overview

Poo Patrol is a dog waste removal service company offering three integrated service offerings: Residential Pooper Scooper Service (core weekly/bi-weekly/one-time dog waste removal for homes), Commercial Pooper Scooper Service (for HOAs, apartments, and dog parks including pet waste station installations), and Yard Deodorizing Service (add-on pet-safe odor treatment for lawns, patios, dog runs, and artificial turf). The three services work together as a unified service suite where deodorizing complements scooping by treating residual odors that waste removal alone cannot address.
