Doggy Doods started the same way many companies in this space do: offering dog waste removal. The goal was simple, keep yards cleaner and make life easier for dog owners.
But it didn’t take long to realize that scooping alone wasn’t enough.
Scooping removes what you can see, but it doesn’t address what’s left behind. Bacteria can remain in the soil. Odors can develop even when waste is regularly removed. And from a dog’s perspective, the yard may still feel unpleasant or overstimulating.
A dog’s sense of smell is far more powerful than ours. What seems fine to us can be overwhelming to them. We began asking a different question:
Is the yard actually comfortable for the dog using it every day?
As we spent more time in yards, we started noticing things that rushed services often miss.
Debris and trash that can become choking hazards. Broken fence panels or loose boards. Holes forming along fence lines where dogs like to dig. Areas that quietly become unsafe over time.
None of these issues stand out during a fast, in-and-out visit, but they matter to the dogs who use the space daily.
I’m a veteran, and I served as a medic. Long before starting Doggy Doods, healthcare and prevention were already central to how I thought about responsibility and care.
As a medic, you learn that small things matter. You learn to look beyond what’s obvious. Your learn that prevention, awareness, and consistency often make the biggest difference, especially before something becomes an emergency.
That mindset carried over naturally.
When I looked at how most yard care services operated, I couldn’t ignore the parallels. Quick fixes. Minimal checks. No real attention to long-term well-being.
That wasn’t the standard I was comfortable with.
Most pooper scooper companies are built around speed. Get in, get out, do only what can be done quickly. That model limits how much attention a yard, and the dog using it, actually receives.
We wanted to build something different.
A company that slows down just enough to notice. A service that looks at the yard as part of a dog’s health. A system designed to prevent issues, not react to them.
Today, Doggy Doods is guided by a clear mission: Put dog health and safety first. Always.
That mission shapes how we care for yards, how we structure our services, and how we partner with families and communities. Our work goes beyond waste removal and focuses on maintaining outdoor environments that are cleaner, safer, and more supportive of a dog’s everyday life.
Our approach is built on consistency, awareness, and intention. We maintain yards so they stay usable and safe without requiring reminders, micromanagement, or last-minute fixes.
When a yard is truly cared for:
As Doggy Doods grew, we brought the same dog-first approach into shared spaces and HOA communities. Through structured partnerships and participation-based programs, we help communities maintain cleaner pet areas while reducing friction and enforcement.
The principle stays the same. Care for the space with intention, and dogs benefit.
We believe yard care should feel complete, not rushed. Thoughtful, not reactive. Supportive, not minimal.
If a dog uses the space every day, it deserves to be looked after that way.
