July 21, 20266 min read

If you’re a dog owner in Macomb County looking for reliable dog poop cleanup, you already know how quickly your yard can turn into a minefield of dog waste. Between work, family, and everything else on your plate, regular pet waste removal is the last thing you want to spend your free time on. That’s where Waggin Waste Removal, your local dog waste removal and pooper scooper service, comes in.

Waggin Waste Removal provides weekly, bi‑weekly, and one‑time dog poop cleanup for busy dog owners in areas like Sterling Heights, Clinton Township, and surrounding Macomb County neighborhoods. Our goal is simple: keep your yard clean and safe for your dogs, kids, and guests, with friendly, professional service you can count on.

In this introduction post, you’ll learn who we are, why we started Waggin Waste Removal, what services we offer, and what you can expect when you hire us to handle the dirty work.


Who We Are and Why We Started Waggin Waste Removal

Waggin Waste Removal started with one dog: Lilo.

After adopting Lilo, we saw how quickly piles add up in a normal backyard, especially when you’re working a regular 9–5 and trying to keep up with everything else at home. Scooping dog waste took more time and energy than we expected, and it wasn’t a chore we looked forward to.

We realized two things:

  • Most dog owners feel the same way about poop cleanup.

  • Many people don’t have the time or ability to keep up with scooping, even though they want a clean, safe yard.

Instead of treating dog waste removal as a side gig, we chose to build Waggin Waste Removal as a real, professional service company. We love animals, we understand how much dogs mean to their families, and we believe that a clean yard shouldn’t be a luxury, it should be part of responsible pet care that you can outsource.


What We Do: Dog Poop Cleanup, Done Right

At its core, Waggin Waste Removal is a pet waste removal service. We come to your home, walk your yard in a careful pattern, scoop all visible dog waste, and leave everything secure and tidy.

We offer:

  • Bi‑weekly dog poop cleanup – good for dogs who spend less time outside or yards that don’t fill up as quickly.

  • One‑time dog waste removal / heavy cleanups – perfect for “it’s been a while” situations, after winter, or before a party or event.

Our pricing for one dog is straightforward:

  • Weekly service: $100 per month

  • Bi‑weekly service: $75 per month

  • One‑time cleanup: $150–200 depending on the size and condition of the yard

How Our Dog Poop Cleanup Service Works

When you hire Waggin Waste Removal, we follow a clear, step‑by‑step process to make sure your yard is cleaned thoroughly and safely every time.

Before Your Visit

  • We schedule your cleanup through our service software, so the day and time are predictable.

  • You receive a within the hour “on the way” text before we arrive.

  • We review property notes, including:

    • Special instructions

    • Usual bathroom areas where your dog prefers to go

    • Any notes about temperament

During Your Visit

  • We verify the address and make sure your gate or access point is reachable.

  • We confirm that any aggressive dogs are not in the yard during the service for everyone’s safety.

  • We take a before photo of the yard for documentation.

  • We scoop using a checkerboard pattern, moving side to side in one direction, then the opposite, and dividing larger yards into overlapping sections so piles are less likely to be missed.

Finally, we double‑bag the waste and place it neatly in your trash can, and spray down all of our equipment and shoes with kennel-grade disinfectant to ensure clean tools for our next clients scoop. This disinfectant ensures bacteria and viruses like parvo are not being potentially transmitted from yard to yard.

After Your Visit

  • We take an after photo showing the cleaned yard and collected waste.

  • We upload that photo to our system.

  • If you have a gate, we take a picture to show it is closed and secured on departure.

Many clients appreciate these gate photos, especially when they are not home during service.


Sanitation Between Yards

Dog poop can carry bacteria and parasites. To protect every yard we visit, we sanitize between jobs:

  • We mix fresh disinfectant as needed.

  • We thoroughly spray:

    • Our dustpan

    • Our rake

    • The bottoms of our shoes

  • We apply disinfectant in the street when possible, not on your lawn, and avoid puddling or over‑application.

This sanitation process is informed by lab‑style principles like contact time and surface coverage, so we are not just “spraying and hoping.” We stick to proven steps that reduce the risk of cross‑contamination between properties.


Why a Professional Pooper Scooper Service Helps Your Dog and Family

A clean yard isn’t just about looks. Regular dog waste removal supports:

  • Yard health – Dog waste can burn grass and cause dead patches. Removing it regularly helps keep your lawn healthier.

  • Dog health – Dogs can pick up parasites and bacteria from old poop in the yard. Cleanup reduces this exposure.

  • Family comfort – Kids, guests, and even you can enjoy being outside more when you’re not dodging piles or smelling waste.

  • Time and stress – Outsourcing dog poop cleanup means you have one less chore to worry about in an already busy week.

By combining regular visits, clear communication, and professional sanitation, Waggin Waste Removal aims to make, your yard a place you actually want to use for fetch, barbecues, and everyday relaxation.


Our Promise to You

From the beginning, we built Waggin Waste Removal around a few key promises:

  • Integrity – We do the job we say we’ll do, at the price we agreed on.

  • Transparency – We are upfront about services, pricing, and what we can and cannot do.

  • Quality – We follow a consistent SOP for scooping and sanitation instead of “winging it.”

  • Respect for your home and pets – Gates are closed, dogs are treated thoughtfully, and your yard is left ready for use.

If we ever miss something or you’re not satisfied, we’ll come back and make it right.
