Yard Deodorizing Treatment - $20 a month ($10 for one-time cleanings)

For peace of mind add on deodorizing treatment for $20 a month ($10 for one-time cleanings). After every scoop we mist the area with our eco-friendly spray that neutralizes odors so ruff and tumble playtime can resume almost immediately.Add deodorizing at checkout or after booking one-time cleaning.

Heavy Buildup Cleaning Fee - $25 - $100

Before starting your monthly plan, we give your yard a top-to-bottom assessment. In cases of heavy buildup, large yards, multiple dogs, or unforeseen conditions (such as excessive leaves or debris), an additional Heavy Buildup Cleaning fee may apply. We will always confirm with you before starting service. Ranging from $25 - $100 the fee is applied to your 1st bill depending on:

  • Long time since last cleanup

  • Multiple dogs

  • Thick layers of waste

  • Yard couldn’t be cleared in standard time.

If your yard is already in good shape, we’ll adjust the fee to reflect only the time required. Once this reset is complete, all follow-up visits are quicker and more affordable.
