      We do option 1 in our Spokane location and Option 2 in Seattle.

    One of my friends did this in the Phoenix area for years and retired from it. He also carried a "freeze" spray for the runny stuff. He made so much money and living in Phoenix, didn't have to deal with snow. I also made good money and had 8 people working with me in Ohio as a Pet Sitting Company (going to people's homes) which had a start up of around $500 which includes business license and insurance and poop bags. Such great businesses. I also retired from mine. I had my ad on my back window on our cars (didn't cost as much as a full ad all over vehicle. ) Both businesses don't have "overhead" unless you want an office. All can be done from your home.

      @@charlesborel8493I’m not sure what you are asking but yes, I started this business broke at 55 yrs old after a divorce because no one would hire my age. (Truth). Someone asked me to pet sit in their home and they would pay me. I looked into it and realized it was good money. My company had sitters that visited 3 x a day for dogs, other animals depended on what they needed. I even had someone who just did cats for 4 hrs in middle of day (she also had another job). I also hired people for either mornings, afternoon or evening. They didn’t do all 3. They basic worked 3-4 hrs a day some weekends. We would do overnights for certain pets and medical pets also. I started doing all on my own. Hired 4 months into it. Grew it to a large, 6 figure income business. It pays well. BUT, it is a profession where you are dealing with live animals. You cannot skip a day you have to have a backup in case of illness or hospital stays. I wanted a business with integrity and professionalism. The gentleman who now has it makes a great 6 figure income. It is also a physical job. We averaged 48 pet sits a day. Yes, a day. I had $50 to my name when I started it. I borrowed from someone to get my biz license and insurance. I didn’t ever pay for advertising. I made a free webpage , learned SEO from a library book and got to the top of google search. Also I did find a petsit biz book with a cd that had contracts, info etc. papers for clients to fill out. I took pet cpr at the Red Cross back then. Now you can do it online. I treated it as a business, NOT a hobby. Yes, it’s possible. Also, I loved it and cried when I had to retire due to Multiple Sclerosis.

    There will always be people willing to pay for a service that they just don't want to do themselves. I bet they don't walk their dogs either so this could easily be a 2 person business. 1 x scooping & 1 x walking. Don't forget the dog food delivery option. You'll need refrigeration for the meat loaf and room for bags or barrels of dry food. A dog food manufacturer will pay well to have a vehicle with their branding visiting dog owners all day. You could negotiate a supply deal where you can make big retail margin on selling their product. Expand the business web site to sell additional dog related products. Then there's the vet referrals earning a kickback that could also be expanded to include dog transport. Now scoop that poop!

      We have been domestic cleaners longer than I care to remember. It’s a passion, no holidays, we guarantee their service even if we have to reschedule. They guarantee our business even when they go away on holidays. We service a niche clientele who can afford to be maintained on our roster. We found prior to becoming selective that clients who went away wanted to save money by not having their clean. That’s fair enough but I refused to hold their placement on our schedule if they cancelled their cleans due to holidays. If they expected us to clean for them and remain on our schedule, they also needed to commit to us too. It works both ways. We have never advertised, only word of mouth. $60per hour. Min 4 hours per clean. We’ve never looked back since introducing the changes to our policy.

    As a service contractor of 40 plus years who builds client bases in a ten mile radius of the shop what I heard was: One tech can manage 150 homes, or 30 yards per day. This translates to 16 min per yard including travel. 8 min as claimed to do a yard fits with my huge back yard and two dogs, but only 8 min of travel between jobs would mean they are all in the same neighborhood, on the same block, or real close. I understand client density but this seems very best case, and rushing like that leads to accidents in the field or driving.
    Excellent presentation regardless, and this guys systems are solid and the golden key.

      If they are in the same neighborhood, it could take 30 seconds to get to the next house. If you are servicing a lot of houses in that neighborhood, and then drive 15 minutes to another neighborhood, it can all average out.
      I live in a cul-de-sac, and 8 or 9 of the houses here use the same lawn guy. It's definitely a good scenario, but I don't think it's too out of reach with the right neighborhood.

      ***Edit*** I just figured out why our landfill cares. All our residential trash gets dumped at a transfer station first, where actual people sort through it for metal large enough to identify. It is then loaded on larger trucks before being taken to the actual dump. So yeah, ours cares so people don't have to handle it.

    I worked for a company called Doo Doo Squad located in Elk Grove California. It's not all as it cooks up to be. There is lots of driving involved which equals maintenance on the vehicle. I recommend using the Toyota Prius. It will save on gas by switching to electric. I used to service 30 to 40 houses a day. It might seem easy but it's not.

      I was in a similar situation two years ago. Starting a business might not be the best option for generating that extra income unless you're prepared to actively manage it yourself. Instead, consider going for something more passive like ETFs or REITs which can be more manageable and rewarding with less time commitment. You can even use an FA for that allowing for minimal effort while keeping your it relatively safe. This approach worked for me and I now make about 12k a month,. I plan to still own a business but much later when I'm ready to retire. Good luck!

    So big question I have, what do they do with the poop after? Just put in a giant garbage can for trash to pick up? But it seems like it would really smell after a few days.

      Agreed, very good question as I'm guessing this would be a large expense. I'm in the UK and finding it hard to find any info on bio waste disposal part from expensive incinerator services.

    Its a great idea. But would never fly in my area unfortunately. The cost per yard would have to be around x2. I dont think you could do 30 yards a day in the mountains.

    I wish my neighbor would hire a service like this as their dogs crap all over the place and i was for a little bit of time trying to help keep it up because their dogs would crap on my side, there is no fencing because i am around a manufacturer housing.
    I just think it's disrespectful that the neighbors do not care enough to clean up their own dogs mess.
    I am curious if there's anything like this in Michigan?
    Also.. is it true that you can spray or pour something to help dissolve dog waste ?

    Thats cool to hear the disinfect after every yard so there not bringing germs from yard to yard making dogs sick. That's really good and a good selling point it says you care alittle bit about the animals and not just making money

    This is a great example of how we are al literally surrounded by opportunity all of the time.
    Often once you have your first success you look at the world differently and you realize that everyday, all of the time you are literally wading waist deep through opportunities. Or in this case that could be waste deep lol
    Open your eyes and be curious and you will find you are surrounded constantly with great options.

    A very thorough evaluation was done to learn and understand this business model.👍
    I've seen Dog Parks not cleaned and maintained properly. That could be another component to add to your services. Picnic areas around beaches would be another one. State parks could use a lot more attention. Many times I would come up to a seating area and there would be raccoon 💩 on the tables and benches. No one was there to clean it up. Campsites do poor service in this type of cleanup as well.
    I can see where there could be a demand for this service.

    I’ve been running my own plumbing business for 2 years now. I truly appreciate the fact that I get to choose the hours & day I work, I choose the jobs & people I work with and I also choose how much money I want to make. But The best thing about it is that I get to spend time with my wife and 2 year old daughter. I’m not rich; yet, but I live a very very comfortable life. Not Gonna lie.

    Actually he could even use the poop he scoops as an ORGANIC gopher detourant . I discovered purely by accident that if I take all the dog poop i collected in a bucket and stuffed it teall tight down gopher and vole holes The little critters will not dig there again They will dig a new tunnel close to the poopy one and you pack that one next and in no time at all eventually YOU WILL HAVE A GOPHER FREE YARD .youre welcome 🙂

      Great question! Many companies have designated waste disposal processes, often taking it to local landfills or composting facilities. Some might even explore environmentally friendly options, like converting it into fertilizer.
