A small ticket that repeats every week. Build it like a subscription.
Pet waste removal is a route business made of short weekly stops, many customers and very little friction, which means the systems matter more than the sales pitch. We set up scooping companies with a website that signs people up, phones that answer while you're in a yard, and a CRM that knows every gate, every dog and every autopay date.

A subscription business that lives or dies on density and trust
Customers sign up for weekly or twice-weekly yard service and expect it on the same day every week. Each stop is quick, priced by the number of dogs, the yard size and the visit frequency, and the margins come from doing many of them close together. A new customer next door to an existing stop is worth much more than one on the other side of town. A marketplace lead comes from wherever the customer happens to live, so it may or may not land on a street you already drive.
The work can run all year. In warm climates, weekly service runs steadily through every month. In snowy regions, winter brings skipped or modified visits and a big spring cleanup when months of waste appear as the snow melts, which is a natural moment to offer weekly service. Commercial work, such as pet waste stations for HOAs and apartment communities, adds route density and steady monthly billing.
The customer relationship is mostly invisible. You're in the backyard while they're at work, so trust comes from small things: gates closed every time, dogs safe, a text when you finish, a photo when something's wrong. Get those details right every week and you give customers no reason to look elsewhere. Forget a gate once and you may lose a customer, or worse.
A site that signs up a yard in two minutes
Many pet waste customers would rather not make a phone call. They want a price, a start date and a way to pay. The site should give them all three.
Pricing and online sign-up
Price by dogs and frequency, a first cleanup option, and a sign-up that collects gate, dog and access details with a card on file.

Start a weekly yard without stopping your route
You're usually in someone's backyard when the phone rings. The AI receptionist picks up for your company, collects the details that matter for every stop, and starts weekly service.
How AI reception worksGates, dogs and autopay on every stop
A pet waste CRM has to make a short stop go right every week, for hundreds of yards. We build it around the route and the details at each gate.
Gate and dog notes
Gate codes, latch types, dogs' names and temperaments, and whether they're out during visits, shown to the tech at every stop.
Gate-closed photo
A photo of the latched gate at each visit, attached to the completion text the customer receives.
Route density map
Customers by service day on a map, so marketing focuses on streets you already visit.
Monthly autopay
Flat monthly billing by dogs and frequency, charged automatically, with failed payment follow-up.
Skip and weather handling
Skipped visits for snow or customer travel tracked, so billing and expectations stay correct.
Commercial station routes
HOA and apartment pet station service with refill supplies and monthly invoices per property.
Referral tracking
Credit customers who refer neighbors, which grows the routes you want to grow.
Sign up the season, grow the street
Pet owners talk to other pet owners. Your customer list, contacted with consent, and the neighbors those customers refer cost nothing per lead and live on streets you already drive.

| New year | Win back paused customers | Reach customers who paused or canceled, with an easy restart. |
