Pooper Scooper Service in Johnston, IA

Dog Waste Removal in Johnston, IA

Johnston sits right between Beaver Creek and Saylorville Lake, which means a lot of dog owners here spend serious time outdoors. The Greenbelt Trail runs through town along the creek, Terra Park is full of families on weekends, and after a long walk with your dog the last thing you want to do is walk your yard looking for piles. That's the chore we take over.

Every Scooper Squad visit in Johnston 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.

Johnston Neighborhoods We Serve

Johnston covers everything from older established homes along Beaver Creek to new construction off NW 62nd Avenue and 86th Street, and we route through all of it. The neighborhoods around Terra Park, the Greenbelt Trail corridor, the developments near Camp Dodge, all of it is on our regular rotation.

Because Johnston is close to our home base in Grimes, we don't treat it as an out-of-town stop. We're in town on regular route days every week, which means new customers can usually get a first cleanup within the week. Same-week starts are common.

Johnston's schools are a big reason families move here, and school-age kids and backyard dogs tend to go together. If your kids play on the grass, you don't want them sharing it with weeks of dog waste. That's why so many Johnston families hand this job to us and go back to just enjoying the yard.

Where Johnston Dog Owners Walk

Johnston is built for outdoor living. Terra Park has become a weekend staple for families, the Greenbelt Trail follows Beaver Creek right through town, and Saylorville Lake is minutes north for longer walks. On any given evening, half of Johnston seems to be out walking a dog somewhere along that green space.

All that walking makes the backyard the final stop, and nobody wants to come home from a trail walk to a yard covered in piles. Weekly service keeps the yard ready to use whenever you are. You get the trail time and the yard time, minus the cleanup.

Johnston 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 in the Johnston area, 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.
