Lately, you may have noticed a sudden surge in small pet waste removal businesses popping up across the Suncoast. It seems everyone with a shovel and a catchy name is jumping into the game, hoping for a quick buck. But while the idea of a clean yard sounds simple enough, not all scoopers are created equal — and unfortunately, we’ve seen many of these businesses come and go just as quickly as they arrived.
When these "pop-up" companies disappear, customers are often left with unfulfilled services, spotty communication, or worse — a yard full of surprises. So before you hire just anyone to handle your pet’s business, here are a few important things to look for in a professional poop scooper (and why they really matter):
✅ 1. Reliability and Longevity
Why it matters: Consistency is key. You want to know your scooper will show up on time, week after week — not vanish after a few months.
What to ask:
- How long have they been in business?
- Do they have online reviews or references?
- Are they licensed and insured?
At DoodyCalls on the Suncoast, we’re proud to be part of a trusted national brand, locally owned and operated by a family who truly cares. We’ve built our business for the long haul, not the quick buck.
✅ 2. Professionalism and Customer Service
Why it matters: This is your home. You deserve respectful, friendly service from a team you feel good about having on your property.
What to ask:
- How do they communicate with customers?
- Are they easy to reach?
- Do they wear branded uniforms or arrive in marked vehicles?
We believe in making life easier for pet parents — with clear communication, friendly faces, and reliable service you can count on. You’ll always know who’s coming and when.
✅ 3. Proper Waste Disposal and Sanitation
Why it matters: Pet waste can carry harmful bacteria, parasites, and viruses. If not handled properly, it poses risks to both human and pet health — not to mention it can really stink up your yard.
What to ask:
- How do they dispose of the waste?
- Do they sanitize tools and shoes between stops?
- Do they follow local disposal regulations?
At DoodyCalls on the Suncoast, we double-bag all pet waste and place it securely in your designated outdoor trash bin. Prefer we haul it away? We offer optional waste removal for an additional fee, ensuring it’s disposed of in full compliance with local and federal laws. Plus, we sanitize our tools and footwear between every visit to prevent cross-contamination.
✅ 4. Transparent Pricing and Service Options
Why it matters: Surprises are great — just not on your bill. Look for fair, clear pricing and flexible plans that fit your needs.
What to ask:
- Are there contracts?
- Is pricing clearly listed online?
- Are there hidden fees?
We offer no-contract service with easy-to-understand pricing and customizable plans. Whether you need weekly visits or just a one-time clean-up, we’ve got your back (and your backyard).
✅ 5. Community Commitment
Why it matters: Supporting a company that gives back helps build a stronger community for everyone — especially our furry friends.
We proudly support local rescues, participate in community events, and give back throughout the year. Being part of the community isn’t just business for us — it’s personal.
