Pet Waste Removal Service

What It Is

Clean up dog waste from customers' yards on a weekly or twice-weekly subscription priced by number of dogs, disinfecting tools between yards and photographing the gate as proof of each visit. The owners interviewed started with door hangers and knocking (15 to 20 customers), then switched on Facebook ads with a simple photo and a local hook ("Are you a dog owner in Spokane?") at $50 to $100 a day, getting leads around $7 and closing about one in three. They report 350 customers in the first three months, about $200,000 a month at peak with roughly 20 to 40 staff, and over 30% net margin, with most annual sign-ups coming as the snow melts.

The Pitch

The owners say it's one of the most hated chores, so demand is strong; startup costs are tiny, and recurring subscriptions plus systems (good communication, online billing, a real person answering the phone) let it run without them.

Who It’s Best For

Practical, reliable people who don't mind outdoor physical work and want a simple local service they can grow with employees.

The Truth (as we see it)

Pet waste removal is a real, growing local service with recurring revenue, and the advice on systems and reliability is sound. It is physical, outdoor, route-based work at customers' homes, not work done from home, until you hire staff and manage it. Ad costs have risen since their $7 leads, which they acknowledge, and their $200,000 month is a peak-season figure for a 20-plus person operation; the "two customers a week to $100K" line is their projection.
