Dog’s Best Friend
I'm a small, one-person outfit that specializes in yard cleanup, dog waste removal, and honest outdoor help. We don’t cut corners. We don’t upsell. We just do the work — every week, on time, with care.
This isn’t a franchise. It’s a neighbor who shows up.
What does Dog’s Best Friend do?
I clean up dog poop, yard trash, toys, and other small debris on a regular schedule. Every visit includes a quick safety check and a general tidy-up. I make your lawn clean, period.
Do you pick up other things too?
Yes.I pick up what doesn’t belong — wrappers, dog toys, things the lawnmower ate or wouldn't like to eat, . If you have preferences (e.g., "leave the balls by the porch"), just tell us once. We'll remember.
What don’t you pick up?
I don’t handle wild animal waste (geese, raccoons, etc.) unless arranged in advance. No hazardous waste, syringes, or anything dangerous.
How often do you come?
Most customers choose weekly visits, some folks like a couple times a week, whatever your particular needs, I can accommodate you.
Do you do initial cleanups?
Yes. If it’s been a while since your yard was cleaned, I’ll do a thorough first pass. This may take more time and cost slightly more depending on how soiled it is.
What’s included in a visit?
Dog waste removal (the real kind, with gloves and a bag)
Lawn and toy cleanup
Gate checks and basic visual safety
Notes if anything looks off
Do you use shovels or buckets?
Nope. It’s the Mark V Human Paw: a gloved hand, a trash bag, and no sense of smell.... Fast, clean, efficient — the right way.
Do you do anything besides cleanup?
Yes. We offer light yard and garden help under the HandyGardener banner. We fix broken gates, reset patio chairs, prune back thorny bushes, and help with minor seasonal work. Ask us.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry vehicle and business insurance. We’re not a sketchy side hustle — we’re the real deal.
