Because poop doesn’t wait for perfect weather!
At YardBuddy, our top priority is keeping your yard clean, your family safe, and your pets happy — rain or shine. But what happens when the forecast turns gloomy and the skies open up? Let’s walk you through exactly how we handle rainy days, what you can expect as a customer, and how our weather policy keeps your service consistent and high-quality.
🌧 Why Rainy Days Matter in Pet Waste Removal
Rain doesn’t just mean getting wet — it changes everything from the safety of our team to the effectiveness of your cleanup. Wet yards, muddy conditions, and hidden piles of waste can lead to:
Missed pet waste due to poor visibility
Increased risk of slips and falls
Mud tracking through your yard
Unintentionally smearing waste across your lawn
Delays in proper sanitation or deodorizer application
We take these risks seriously, which is why we have a clear rainy day policy in place.
🛠️ YardBuddy's Rainy Day Policy: What to Expect
Here’s how we handle inclement weather in a way that’s fair, efficient, and respectful of your lawn and schedule:
✅ Light Rain or Drizzle: We Still Scoop!
Our scoopers are equipped with weather-resistant gear and will complete your service as scheduled. We just ask that gates are unlocked, and pets are secured indoors to speed up the process.
⚠️ Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms, or Unsafe Conditions:
We may reschedule your cleanup for safety and quality assurance. You will receive a text or email alert as early as possible, and we'll work with you to find a new time—usually within 24–48 hours.
💨 High Winds, Lightning, or Flooding:
In extreme weather (think lightning storms or flooded yards), service will be paused and rescheduled. We do not want to compromise safety or the quality of your yard cleanup.
🧴 What Happens If We Can’t Scoop?
If service is delayed due to weather:
You’ll never be charged for missed visits
We’ll reschedule at the next available window
If you're on a weekly plan, we’ll double check for extra waste on your next visit to catch anything missed
🌿 Add-Ons Still Available on Clear Days!
Even when weather delays occur, you can still enjoy our yard-enhancing add-ons during your next service:
🌸 Deodorizer Spray: Keeps your yard fresh after rain!
🧼 Sanitizer Application: Perfect after wet waste smears or muddy conditions
🦴 Pet Yard Safety Audit: Great after storms or flooding to spot broken fences, debris, or puddles
Let us know if you’d like to schedule these on your next visit!
💬 Communication is Key
We believe in clear communication. You’ll always be notified via:
📲 Text message
📧 Email (if you're subscribed)
🗓 App notifications (coming soon!)
We’ll never leave you wondering where your scooper is.
📍 Reminder: We’re Local!
As a Hendersonville-based small business, we know NC weather can be unpredictable. But rest assured — we’re not some national chain making excuses. We’re your neighbors, and we’re committed to keeping your outdoor space safe, beautiful, and poop-free no matter the season.
