Not all poop scoopers are created equal. Here’s what to look for in a trusted pet waste removal service in Austin — and how Turd Nerds stacks up.
Intro:
Dog poop isn’t just a nuisance — it’s a hygiene issue, a pest attractant, and a serious mood killer for your outdoor space. So when you’re ready to hand off the dirty work, how do you choose the right poop scoop service?
In Austin, there are a handful of options — but not all services are created equal. Some cut corners, some don’t sanitize tools, and some just don’t show up.
This guide breaks down what really matters when hiring a professional pet waste removal company and how Turd Nerdschecks every box.
✅ 1. They Show Up When They Say They Will
Reliability is everything. If a company offers weekly scooping but misses visits or constantly reschedules, what’s the point?
Look for:
- Consistent weekly service
- Clear communication (text/email updates)
- Easy scheduling and rescheduling
At Turd Nerds, we stick to your schedule and send friendly visit confirmations — so you’re never left wondering if your yard got scooped.
🧼 2. They Sanitize Their Tools (and Shoes)
Would you want someone using the same scoop from your neighbor’s yard in yours without cleaning it?
A professional poop scoop service should:
- Sanitize tools and footwear between jobs
- Use designated bags and gloves
- Avoid cross-contamination
Our nerds sanitize after every visit. Because science matters — especially when poop’s involved.
📱 3. They Make Booking Easy
Gone are the days of phone tag and handwritten appointment books. The best scoop services use modern booking tools with:
- Online scheduling
- Mobile-friendly websites
- Transparent pricing
- Easy payment options
We let you book online in seconds, view your plan, and even add on extras like deodorizing spray.
🌱 4. They Care About Your Yard and Pets
A quality scoop service doesn’t just remove poop — they respect your property.
That means:
- Closing gates securely
- Watching for hazards (glass, sharp sticks, etc.)
- Leaving behind a tidy space
- Treating your dog with kindness
At Turd Nerds, we even leave a treat behind (with your permission) — because your dog deserves a thank-you, too.
💰 5. They’re Upfront About Pricing
You shouldn’t have to guess what you’ll pay. Look for companies with:
- Published pricing on their site
- No hidden fees
- Discounts for new customers or recurring plans
We keep it simple:
- $25/week for 1–2 dogs
- $30 one-time cleanup
- $15 first scoop for new customers
Plus, you can add deodorizing spray for just $5/visit — a pet-safe solution that helps keep your yard smelling fresh, even in Austin’s heat.
