Getting started
When you sign up for weekly or bi-weekly service, your initial yard cleanup is completely free — no card required up front, no obligation to continue past the first visit. We clear out every pile of existing waste so you start fresh, then your recurring schedule begins on the next visit.
If we walk into a yard that hasn't been cleaned in three months, that first visit can take a while. That's the point of it being free: you shouldn't have to pay extra because life got busy.
Recurring service starts at $18 per visit for one dog, weekly. Bi-weekly and monthly options cost more per visit because more waste accumulates between cleanups. One-time cleanups are billed at $65 per 30 minutes (in 30-minute increments), so price scales with how much work is actually needed rather than a flat rate.
Multi-dog discounts apply automatically. You can get an exact quote in about 10 seconds on the homepage quote tool by entering your zip code and number of dogs.
Our core service area is Gilbert (85295, 85297, 85298), Southeast Mesa including Eastmark (85212), and Queen Creek (85142). We also actively service Chandler, San Tan Valley, and surrounding parts of the East Valley.
If you're outside our standard zips, enter your address in the quote tool — if you're close enough to a current route we'll often still take the work. See our neighborhood pages for area-specific details.
No contracts. Ever. You can pause service, change frequency, or cancel at any time with no fee. We earn your business every single visit — if we stop doing that, you should leave, and there's nothing in the way.
Service logistics
Nope. As long as we can access your yard through a side gate or unlocked back gate, we handle everything without you needing to be present. You'll get a text when our tech arrives, and a photo of the closed gate when we leave so you know the yard is secure.
Three options that work well:
(1) Share a smart-lock code with us — most clients use a temporary or service-specific code. (2) Leave a key in a small lock box near the gate. (3) Unlock the gate on service mornings. Tell us your preference at sign-up and we'll set the route to match.
If we ever arrive and can't access the yard, we'll text you within a few minutes and reschedule at no charge.
Every visit ends with a gate-closed photo texted to you and a service log in your client portal. You see the date, time, and confirmation that the yard was secured. If we ever miss a visit or run late, you hear from us before you have to ask.
Routes are organized by zip code and neighborhood, so each area has a fixed service day (or two) per week. When you sign up, we'll confirm your service day before the first visit. If a holiday or weather event affects the route, we'll text you the new time the day before.
Your dogs
We love multi-dog homes — most of our route is two- and three-dog households. Pricing scales with dog count and frequency, and there's an automatic discount when you reach two or more dogs.
For four or five dogs, weekly service almost always pays for itself in time saved. For kennels or commercial properties with six or more, contact us for custom volume pricing.
Tell us at sign-up and we'll work around it. Most reactive-dog clients keep the dog inside during their service window (we'll text you 15–30 minutes before we arrive), and our techs do a quick gate-knock so no one is surprised.
We've worked with rescues, anxious herding breeds, big guard breeds, and senior dogs that just don't like new people. We're not going to risk your dog's well-being for a 12-minute job.
Yes. We service HOAs (common areas and pet relief stations), apartment and rental communities, dog parks, kennels, doggy daycares, and other commercial properties. Pricing depends on square footage, frequency, and whether we're also restocking waste-bag stations.
Email [email protected] or call (480) 757-3133 for a custom volume quote — we usually turn these around in a day.
Weather & seasons
Yes — light rain doesn't stop us. We'll pause for active heavy rain, lightning, or unsafe conditions during monsoon season, and we move that day's route to the next available day so you don't lose a visit. You'll get a text the morning of any weather-related reschedule.
Monsoon is actually when consistent service matters most: waste that gets soaked and then bakes the next day in 105°F sun is the worst version of this problem.
Summer is when weekly service quietly becomes essential. Above about 90°F, bacterial replication roughly doubles every 20–30 minutes, and the outer crust of a fresh pile hardens while the inside stays wet and bacteria-rich — so a yard that "looks fine" on Saturday can be a smell and fly problem by Monday.
Our summer routes start earlier in the morning to keep techs and your dog out of the worst heat. Service runs year-round, no seasonal closure. (More detail: see our Arizona summer dog waste guide.)
The work itself
All of them — grass, gravel, decomposed granite, artificial turf, rock, dirt, and mixed yards. We know Arizona landscaping. Turf gets a careful pass because waste residue can stain or attract pests if left; rock and gravel yards take a bit longer because pieces don't sit on a smooth surface.
Acre and half-acre properties are common on our Queen Creek and San Tan Valley routes.
We double-bag everything in our own bags, haul it off your property, and dispose of it as residential waste per Maricopa County guidelines. Nothing gets dumped in your trash can unless you specifically request it (some clients prefer that, and we'll do it).
Waste does not go into compost, the green-waste stream, or any landscape area — dog feces aren't compatible with either.
Standard recurring service does not use chemicals — we scoop, bag, and haul. We do disinfect our tools between properties so we're not moving anything between yards.
If you want yard sanitization (a pet-safe enzymatic spray for turf or kennel areas), that's available as an add-on. We don't push it unless you ask.
Yes. Zippy Scoop LLC is registered in Arizona and carries general liability insurance covering work performed at client properties. Every technician is background-checked before they ever step onto a customer's yard.
Certificates of insurance are available on request, which is mostly relevant for HOA and commercial clients.
Changing or stopping service
Three ways: (1) log into the client portal and adjust your schedule, (2) text or call us at (480) 757-3133, or (3) email [email protected].
Vacations, frequency changes (weekly to bi-weekly or vice versa), and full cancellations are all no-fee. We ask for 24 hours' notice before your service day so we can reroute, but if life happens we'll work with you.
