We reserve the right to skip your scoop day if access to your yard is blocked, deemed unsafe by our staff, frozen or broken gate, dogs in the backyard that were not approved beforehand, or behind two weeks or more on payment.

If your lawn is overgrown or covered in leaves we CAN’T ensure a full clean-up. If we can’t see the poop we can’t pick it up.

We understand our dog’s sometimes choose the strangest places to poop. But some places our scooper pooper crew can’t go. If your dog poops under the trampoline we will NOT be able to scoop under there. Please move trampoline prior to our arrival to ensure that area can be cleaned.

Some dog’s are attracted to pooing in the rocks and mulch. One of my boxers is this way and it’s a difficult task to clean. If we have to scoop poop in the rocks or mulch we will charge an extra $5 fee per visit and we can guarantee we will get it all out. If your yard is all rocks you will be charged an extra $10!

If your gate is locked we will not hop the fence or enter the home. Please unlock it, leave combination, or key on scoop day. We will re-lock it on our way out.

The #1 rule is to NEVER leave a gate open when we leave. We have dogs and we have had poop scoopers leave our gate open before and had a few close calls. This is something we take very serious and check your gate twice before leaving.

If we come across a broken gate we will secure it with zip ties if possible and notify you. We will only do this once. If we come back the next scheduled scoop and the gate hasn’t been fixed we will not secure the gate. Our staff will not hop your gate. If we can’t get into the yard we can’t scoop the poop.

We at STEP EASY Dog Waste Removal Pooper Scoopers Service are dog lovers down to the core, but we will not enter a yard if the dogs are outside unattended from the owner. This is for the safety of our staff. We will only enter if we have met and played with your dog’s prior.
