If you’ve ever fallen behind on picking up your dog’s poop—or wondered whether hiring someone to do it is “lazy”—this post is for you. Let’s get one thing out of the way right now:
There is absolutely no shame in hiring a professional pet waste removal service.
Life is busy. Things pile up. Dog poop… literally piles up. At YardBuddy, we’ve seen it all—and our only mission is to help you enjoy a clean, safe yard without stress or judgment.
So whether you're brand new to the idea or just curious, here’s your guide to Pet Waste Removal 101: What You Need to Know.
🐾 What Is Pet Waste Removal?
Pet waste removal is a professional service that comes to your home on a set schedule (or one-time basis) to clean up dog poop from your yard and dispose of it properly.
At YardBuddy, we offer:
Weekly & twice-weekly scoop visits
One-time cleanups for neglected or post-vacation yards
Affordable, reliable service in Hendersonville & Asheville, NC
It’s like having a lawn care company—but specifically for the dirtiest part of pet ownership.
💩 Why It Matters More Than You Think
Picking up after your pet isn’t just about keeping your shoes clean. It’s about protecting:
✅ Your family’s health (dog poop carries bacteria & parasites)
✅ Your lawn (waste can burn grass and attract pests)
✅ Your neighborhood (especially in HOAs or shared communities)
✅ Local water systems (rain can wash waste into storm drains)
Letting dog poop sit in the yard is more than an eyesore—it’s a growing biohazard if left untreated.
🛑 Common Misconceptions About Hiring a Dog Poop Cleanup Company
We hear this all the time:
“Isn’t that something I should just do myself?” “What if my neighbors judge me for hiring someone to scoop poop?” “It feels a little embarrassing…”
Here’s the truth:
You’re not alone. Hundreds of homeowners in Hendersonville and Asheville use services like ours every week.
You’re being responsible by outsourcing a task that impacts health and sanitation.
Nobody gets judged for hiring a lawn mowing service—why should poop scooping be any different?
There is zero shame in choosing cleanliness, convenience, and peace of mind.
