Pooper Scooper Service in Des Moines, IA

Dog Waste Removal in Des Moines, IA

Des Moines is the kind of city where people live in their neighborhoods, from Beaverdale to Sherman Hill to Waterbury to the East Village. Gray's Lake gets the dog walkers every evening, Water Works Park fills up on weekends, and every one of those neighborhoods has backyards that need a weekly scoop. That's where we come in.

Every Scooper Squad visit in Des Moines works the same way. We text you when we're on the way. Our technician arrives in a bright red Scooper Squad shirt and walks your yard in a grid pattern, being meticulous about every square foot. We do our best work in every single yard, every single visit. Every pile is double-bagged and dropped in your trash can, or set on the side of your home if your can isn't out. We guarantee every pile gets picked up.

Tools and boots are sanitized with organic, kennel-grade disinfectant between every yard, so nothing travels from one lawn to the next. When we're done, we close and latch your gate, then text you a photo of it so you know it's shut before you let your dogs out.

Des Moines Neighborhoods We Serve

Des Moines is the largest city in the metro, so we route through it on more than one day a week. The older neighborhoods close to downtown have compact yards that get used hard, and the larger lots further out need the same thorough, careful treatment. Every part of the city is on our regular rotation, from the Drake area to the south side.

Because Des Moines is close to our home base in Grimes, we're in town on regular route days every week, not just on a rotation that swings through every few weeks. New customers can usually get a first cleanup within the week, and same-week starts are common.

Des Moines also has more rental properties and HOAs than the rest of the metro, and we handle those too. If a property has a pet-friendly patch of grass, we can keep it clean on a schedule that works for the landlord or property manager. It's the same thorough service, just scaled up.

Where Des Moines Dog Owners Walk

Des Moines is a great walking city, and your dog knows it. Gray's Lake draws walkers and dogs from every corner of the metro, Water Works Park has miles of trails along the Raccoon River, and the Principal Riverwalk downtown is a favorite for city strolls. From Beaverdale to the south side, every neighborhood has its own walkable stretch.

The city lifestyle means yards here are often the smaller, harder-working spaces, and they get used harder per square foot. That's exactly why weekly scooping matters most in Des Moines. Small yards with daily dog traffic go from clean to unpleasant fast, and staying on top of it weekly keeps the yard a place the whole family actually wants to be.

Des Moines homes can book weekly, twice-a-week, bi-weekly, or a one-time cleanup. Weekly is the most popular, especially with multiple dogs. We also handle commercial properties across Des Moines and Polk County, including HOAs, apartment grounds, and any business with a pet-friendly patch of grass. Service is billed on the 1st of each month, there are no contracts, and you can change your schedule or cancel anytime with a quick text.
