Q: Can I leave my dog in the yard?

Q: Is there a first-time startup fee?
A: No. However, if things have been, er, piling up, it takes us longer to clean than a regular visit, and consequently we charge more. That charge will be a minimum of twice the regular fee and a maximum of four times the regular fee (should it take us more than an hour to cleanup, the cost would be more). Return to Top

Q: Do you work in the rain or stormy weather?
A: Yes, But we’re not quite the postal service, so if the weather is really bad, we’ll come later in the week or as soon as we can. Naturally, you only pay for the scoops we do. Return to Top
