Looking for a Pooper Scooper Service Near You? 10 Things to Know Before You Hire One
Does your backyard have a little too much “pawsitive” evidence of your dog? You’re not alone! When life gets busy, dog poop cleanup can quickly become one more chore on a very long list.
A local pooper scooper service can give you back your weekends, keep your yard cleaner, and make outdoor time more enjoyable for everyone. But before you hire a company, it helps to know what to look for.
Here are 10 simple things to check when choosing a dog waste cleanup service in Colorado Springs.
1. Make Sure They Serve Your Colorado Springs Neighborhood
First things first: confirm that the company actually serves your address.
Backyard Pooper Scooper provides professional pet waste cleanup throughout the Colorado Springs area and surrounding communities. If you live in Colorado Springs, call or request a quote online with your ZIP code and the number of dogs you have.
Local service matters!
A local team understands the area, plans efficient routes, and can respond more easily when you need help. Whether you live near Briargate, Broadmoor, Falcon, Fountain, Security-Widefield, or another nearby community, it’s always smart to ask about coverage before scheduling.
Not sure if you’re on the route? Just ask. We’re happy to help!
2. Ask Exactly What Each Cleanup Includes
“Pooper scooper service” can mean slightly different things from one company to another. Before you sign up, ask what happens during a normal visit.
A thorough yard cleanup should include:
- Walking the service area carefully
- Finding and removing visible dog waste
- Checking grass, gravel, rock beds, and other outdoor surfaces
- Bagging and removing the waste
- Leaving your yard neat and ready to enjoy
At Backyard Pooper Scooper, we focus on dependable, thorough service. We don’t just do a quick scoop and go. We work to give you a clean, safe, enjoyable yard.

3. Compare the Price and Visit Schedule
Price is important, but the lowest advertised rate is not always the best value. Ask whether the price is per visit, per dog, or per month. Also ask what happens if you need an initial cleanup.
Backyard Pooper Scooper offers affordable service starting at $14.50 per week. We provide flexible weekly and one-time options, depending on what works best for your home and your schedule.
Weekly service is a great fit if you want to stay ahead of the mess. A one-time cleanup may be the better choice if:
- You’re preparing for a party or special event
- Your yard has built up waste
- You’re moving into or out of a home
- You’ve fallen behind on cleanup
- You want a fresh start before beginning weekly service
If a yard needs extra attention to get caught up, the initial price may be higher. After that, your regular weekly rate applies.
Clean yard. Simple schedule. Affordable price!

4. Look for a Reliable, Experienced Local Team
Your yard is part of your home. You want someone dependable, respectful, and careful with your property.
Look for a service that:
- Shows up as scheduled
- Communicates clearly
- Has a professional appearance
- Treats your yard with care
- Does what they say they will do
Backyard Pooper Scooper is a local, family-owned and operated Colorado Springs business. We know pets, busy households, and the everyday challenge of keeping a yard clean. Our goal is simple: provide friendly service and do the best job every time.

5. Check That They’re Fully Insured
Insurance is an important question to ask before anyone works on your property.
Backyard Pooper Scooper is fully insured. Our team members arrive in uniform and are prepared to provide professional pet waste removal service for homes, businesses, communities, and shared outdoor areas.
That extra protection gives you peace of mind. You can enjoy the convenience of having someone else handle the messy work without worrying about whether the company takes its responsibilities seriously.
Professional service should feel safe and worry-free!
6. Ask How They Protect Your Yard and Pets
A good pet waste removal company should have clear procedures for gates, pets, and equipment.
Before service begins, let the team know about:
- Dogs that need to stay indoors
- Special gate instructions
- Areas to avoid
- Any concerns about your yard
- Pets with special needs or behaviors
Backyard Pooper Scooper can provide convenient service whether or not you are home. You don’t have to wait around for us to arrive. Just make sure we have the access instructions we need, and we’ll take care of the cleanup.
We also carefully disinfect our tools after every service. This helps reduce the chance of spreading parasites or disease from one yard to another.
Clean tools. Careful service. More peace of mind!
7. Find Out Whether There Is a Contract
You shouldn’t have to feel trapped in a service that no longer fits your needs.
Backyard Pooper Scooper offers weekly and one-time cleanups with no long-term contracts required. You can choose the service that makes sense for your household.
Maybe weekly service is perfect during the busy season. Maybe you only need a one-time cleanup before guests arrive. Maybe your schedule changes later. Flexible options make it easier to get help without adding another complicated commitment.
Have questions about pausing or changing service? Ask us. We’ll explain everything plainly and help you find a comfortable option.
8. Look for a Real Satisfaction Guarantee
A company should stand behind its work.

100% satisfaction. Friendly help. No guessing.
If something doesn’t look right, let us know. We’ll work to make it right.
9. Ask How Fast They Respond to New Requests
When you need a quote, waiting several days can be frustrating. Ask how quickly the company responds to estimate requests.
Backyard Pooper Scooper typically returns estimates by email within 24 hours. Need an answer faster? Call us directly at 719-302-5585, and we’ll do our best to help right away.
