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.

Check our Service Areas page for the full list, and if you are close but not on it, reach out anyway. Our routes grow all the time.
How do I sign up for your services?
Signing up is easy! Request a free quote online in about a minute, or call or text us at 319-420-POOP. Pick the plan that fits your yard and your dogs, and we will schedule your first cleanup, often within the week.
How often should I schedule a pooper scooper service?
For most yards we recommend weekly service. It keeps waste from building up, keeps odors and lawn damage in check, and is the best value. We also offer twice-a-week, bi-weekly, and one-time cleanups for special occasions.
What if I need an extra clean-up?
No problem. If you need an extra visit outside your regular schedule, before a graduation party, family barbecue, or any backyard event, just contact us and we will arrange a convenient time to get your yard guest-ready.
