That wasn't your fault, some people are just crazy. I found (Phoenix, Arizona) Pooper Scooper & Pet Waste Removal Service - AZ Dog Poop Clean-Up online. Or if by any chance you live in downtown Phoenix and are willing to pay an okay price, shoot me a message and I'll make my kids learn some responsibility and go clean it up for you

I used to pick up dog poop myself back when I was working 9-5 job. Now that I own my own business, my schedule can be erratic at times. This is just lite research for the near future. After all, all the poop are still frozen outside since were in the winter months right now.

But when the temperature warms up... after 3-4 months with 4 dogs... use your imagination.

I was on your side until now. You have months of dog poop just piling up and it is "ok" because it is cold out?

I am sure there are MANY things you haven't heard of.

Op, go online and look.
The people around here charge about 20 bucks a week.
I don't hire people to scoop my dog's poop, but for a measely 20 bucks, I can see why the thought would be attractive.

Don't think I want to

Maybe you can find some kids to pick up after your dogs.

I've never heard of a dog shhit service..... I thought at first this was a joke..

I feel guilty if i have to pay someone to change my oil... I usually do it myself,,,but to hire someone to pick up poop...that seems so odd to me..

although when i had to put my greyhound down, after 12 years, I would have paid someone to take her to the vet, that was the longest ride ever , she seem to know where we were going, and i was in no condition to be driving

Pathetic and pitiful.
As long as it is taken care of, it is none of your business how it is taken care of. You wash your own cars... I have to wonder if you change the oil, rotate the tires, and do ALL of the necessary maintenance your self, or if you take it to a mechanic. Gosh, think of all the services we wouldn't need, and all the people who would be out of work if we all did everything ourselves.

I think it's a good idea not to give strangers an excuse to come to your house, if it's not necessary - and this certainly isn't.
If you start feeding your dogs good food that they actually digest, the poop isn't even an issue. I've been cooking for my dogs, adding that as a supplement to their kibble - but now we are going towards more raw and dropping the kibble altogether. It's amazing how little they poop now, compared to the old days of just kibble. Nice solid little rounds, no smell, I have to go looking for them, if I want to pick them up.
