    Q: Who should consider hiring a professional scooper service?

    A: Those dog owners who are unable, unwilling or just want to enjoy their yard (and pets) without the hassle or the mess. Parents with small children who enjoy being outside or if you use your yard often for family events or casual get togethers. Those with physical or visual impairments that find it difficult or impossible to clean their own yard. Those who have more important things to do.

    Q: Why hire Canine Custodians?

    A: Unlike horse or cow manure, which is primarily a plant/fiber base that decomposes relatively quickly, dogs and/or cat feces is primarily protein based. It does not decompose quickly and can burn or destroy your lawn.

    Left to accumulate dog or cat waste ruins the appearance of your property, attracts disease-carrying pests, offends the neighbors and endangers the health of not only the pet but the entire family as well.

    Q: What do you do to make sure that my dog does not get out of the yard?

    A: Safety is our first and most important priority. We are very conscientious about making sure that the gates are firmly in place when we are in the yard and when we leave, and we take extra care to make sure that your dogs do not escape as we enter or leave your yard.

    Note - Aggressive or Guard Dogs MUST be constrained or confined during cleanings.

    Q: Am I bound to a contract or certain length of time?

    A: Absolutely not! You can start or stop whenever you like. We are here to make sure that you are getting the best service available.

    Q: Do I need to be present when you come over?

    A: No, we can come at any time in the day that you are scheduled on, all we ask is that your gate is unlocked, due to the fact that we are not allowed to climb over any fences. If we do come and the gate is locked, we will unfortunately have to bill you for the cleaning still. In order to reduce this possibility, we can loan you a lock free of charge, so that we can get in to make your yard a clean and fun place.

    Q: Do you operate year round?

    A: Yes we do! We offer all our services from mid-March through Mid-November, where we offer our clients the ability to continue through the winter (weather permitting), to clean till the first significant snowfall, or to stop for the winter and resume service in the spring.

    Q: What holidays do you not work?

    A: We work through most of the holidays during the year, save for Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.
