What is residential dog waste removal?
It's a scheduled visit where we come to your home, walk your yard and pick up the dog waste so you don't have to. Being a pet owner is rewarding, but cleaning up after them? Not so much. We keep your yard clean, fresh and ready for outdoor fun, so you can spend less time scooping and more time enjoying your pets.
We love working with busy families, senior citizens, and any pup parents that can't or would rather not pick up after their dogs.
Why does picking up in your own yard matter?
The CDC says dog poop should be picked up, even in your own yard, and especially where children play. Its guidance on roundworms and hookworms notes that most infected pets show no signs, and that children are more at risk because they play on the ground.
Waste left on the lawn doesn't just fade away. The CDC says roundworm and hookworm eggs and larvae can survive for weeks and even years in yards, parks and playgrounds, and the EPA lists the idea that dog waste is an all-natural fertilizer that will take care of itself as a common misconception.
Here at the shore it matters for the water too. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) says rain can wash pet waste from a lawn into storm drains, and that most storm drains are not connected to sewage treatment plants: they drain straight to local waters.
How often should my yard be scooped?
The CDC's advice ranges from every time to at least once a week. We recommend weekly for most clients, and we offer four schedules you can change anytime:
- Twice a week: for busy yards and homes with several dogs
- Weekly: our most recommended plan
- Every other week: for one dog or lighter use
- Monthly: a regular reset for a yard that stays light

What happens on a visit?
We let ourselves into the yard, work across it and pick up what your dogs left behind. The waste is bagged before we go. Then we latch the gate behind us and send you a photo of the latched gate, so you know your dogs are safe. You don't need to be home.
What should I tell you before the first visit?
Anything that helps us do the job safely and well. Our quote form asks for it, and you can always call:
- A doggy door, or a dog who will be out in the yard
- A dog who needs extra care around new people
- Whether it's the front yard, the backyard or both
- How to get through the gate: a latch, a lock or a code
Do you scoop in the winter?
Yes. Our crew works through the shore's winter weather too, so waste doesn't pile up under the snow and surprise you at the first thaw.
How much does it cost?
Your price depends on how many dogs you have, how often you'd like us to come and your yard. Get a quick quote and Doug will reach out with your exact price, usually the same day or the next. There's no long-term contract: cancel or adjust your plan anytime.

Reviews
What New Jersey dog families say.
Stefanie “As a first time client, I was very impressed with how smooth and quick the process was from requesting a quote to having the first visit done. The communication was excellent along with sending me a photo showing my gate being properly latched when leaving my property. I received the invoice following the visit and even that was a very easy process with payment and being able to tip the individual who completed the service. I highly recommend Dog Waste Management Pros to all of my fellow dog parents!!”
Thank you for trusting us with your yard!
Carlos S. “Great company! Efficient, on time, and great service. I really like that they send a picture of my gate closed each time, I’ve had other services leave it open and my dogs got out! So it’s a simple way to add peace of mind that I appreciate.”
Lori D. “They were prompt, fast, and very efficient. Since we’re an older couple with 3 dogs, I’m So glad I found this company. I would highly recommend!”
Paul M. “Great experience Great communication definitely will use weekly”
Jennifer B. “Quick and easy! I filled out a form on Facebook and quickly received a text and received a quote shortly after. They were able to schedule my yard for later the same day. Great service and great communication - they sent a picture of the locked gate at the end of service for peace of mind and the invoice was prompt and easy to pay from my phone.”
Diana G. “Owning a dog sitting company + having post-op restrictions don’t mix very well. Now let’s pair that with some snow, ice & two Rottweiler guests for the last few weeks- my backyard felt like booby trap. ❄️ 🌨️ 💩 ⚠️ Thankfully Doug and the crew from Dog Waste Management came to the rescue! My yard is back to being safe to walk around in again (haha) & the gentle giants can resume ball play as normal. Will definitely be reaching out in the future and referring DWM to everyone!”
Lois S. “Great job! Made sure gate was shut and locked.”
Gabriella O. “Great service, helps keep my yard very clean! They send a message to show my gate is locked after they leave every time for peace of mind and keeping my kids and dogs safe! Appreciate this service!”

Rebecca D. “They came out and cleaned our yard beautifully. After 12 weeks of being bedridden while pregnant, to having a newborn at home it’s so awesome to have one less thing to stress about! Our yard looks great!”
Flo C. “Great experience! They did a great job in cleaning up my yard”

Robin A. “We had our first clean up with Dog Waste Management Pros and it was the easiest process from the online quote, to scheduling, paying, and the first visit. They did a great job and even sent me a picture that my gate was closed when they were done. I love that I can setup Auto pay online and don't have to worry about scheduling and paying. Can't wait to continue using their services.”

Jennifer R. “I’m so happy with our service. The communication is excellent, they were very informative and they arrived when they said they would. Even more importantly they notified me when the service was complete as well as sending me a picture of my gate showing that it was locked. We constantly have a problem with our landscapers leaving the gate open and it makes me a nervous wreck. Something as simple as a picture gave me so much comfort knowing my dogs would be safe if someone got home before me to let them out. Thank you so much!”

Barbara K. “I have two large dogs and haven't been able to clean the yard due to disability . I saw the advertisement on FB for Dog Waste Management Pros and their rates were so reasonable and fit my budget, and I don't have to be home. I was given a window of an hour last night for between 11:15 am and 12:15 pm. I received a text at 11:30am that were on their way. Two men arrived and my camera alerted me. They hit every inch of my front and back yard and cleaned on every bit of dog waste. Immediately went on FB to promote their business before I was even asked to. This has made my life so much easier. One morning a week they will clean up both dog's waste for the convenient fee of $20. Well worth it.”
Frequently asked
Residential Dog Waste Removal questions, answered.
Won't the waste just break down and feed the lawn?
No. The EPA lists the idea that dog waste is an all-natural fertilizer that takes care of itself as a common misconception, and parasite eggs can stay in the soil long after the waste is gone.
My dog seems healthy. Can its poop still spread parasites?
Yes. The CDC says most pets with roundworms or hookworms show no signs. Ask your veterinarian about testing and treating your dog for worms.
Who in my household is most at risk?
Children. The CDC says they are more vulnerable because they play on the ground, and severe roundworm cases are more likely in young children.
Where should the waste go once it's picked up?
NJDEP says wrapped pet waste goes in the trash, never in a storm drain, and the bag should never be flushed.
How much does dog waste removal cost?
Your price depends on how many dogs you have, how often you'd like us to come and your yard. Get a quick quote and Doug will reach out with your exact price, usually the same day or the next.
Do I need to be home when you come?
No. Most clients aren't home during their visit. We let ourselves into the yard, scoop it, latch the gate behind us, and send you a photo of the latched gate.
How often can you come?
We offer twice a week, weekly, every other week and monthly service, plus one-time cleanups. We recommend weekly for most clients.
What should I tell you about my dogs and yard?
Anything that helps us do the job safely: a doggy door, a dog who needs extra care, whether it's the front or back yard, and how to get through the gate. Add it in the notes when you send your quote.
