A family business, not a franchise
Poo Patrol is Link and Melissa, a small crew of local techs, and Bear the German Shepherd, who takes his role as Chief Operating Officer very seriously. We live here, our kids play in these yards, and we treat every lawn like our own.
We're a verified service-disabled veteran-owned small business, and a portion of every single visit goes to Deafinitely Dogs to help place service animals with veterans in our community.

Fantastic service from Poo Patrol! Jadon is dependable and does a thorough job every time. Scheduling and communication are seamless, and the entire process is completely hassle-free. I especially appreciate the follow-up email after each visit, noting everything looks normal and including a photo confirming the gate is securely shut, no worrying about it being left open. Super reliable, easy to work with, and worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Nobody's favorite chore.
Our whole job.
You love your dog. The weekly landmine sweep, not so much. Poo Patrol picks it up on a schedule that fits your life: weekly, twice a week, every other week, or a one-time rescue before the graduation party. You'll get a text when we're headed your way and another when the yard is clean.
Plans start as low as $22 per week. Every yard is quoted, because the price depends on yard size, how many dogs, and how often we come.
Weekly routes through 75+ Iowa towns
Same tech, same day each week, so your yard never falls behind.
Insured, background-checked, uniformed
Branded trucks, tools and boots cleaned between every yard.
100% clean guarantee
If we miss a pile, tell us and we'll come back free. No fine print.
Proudly scooping 75+ Iowa towns
Our routes cover the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City corridor, the Des Moines metro, the Cedar Valley, and Dubuque, plus the acreages in between. If your town isn't listed, ask anyway. The routes keep growing.
