Certification FAQs

Get quick answers to the most common questions about starting and growing a dog waste removal business.

How much money can you make with a pooper scooper business?

A pooper scooper business can earn $40,000 to over $120,000 per year as a solo operator, depending on how many weekly clients you serve. Larger dog waste removal companies, like Swoop Scoop®, have scaled to millions in annual revenue by servicing thousands of recurring customers.

One full-time scooper can typically manage 125 to 150 weekly clients, with monthly subscriptions averaging between $80 and $120.

Profit margins are high, income is recurring, and the growth potential is strong, especially with the right systems in place.

How much does it cost to start a pooper scooper business?

Starting a pooper scooper business typically costs between $200 and $1,000, depending on your tools, branding, and initial marketing. Most new scoopers begin with just a bucket, rake, gloves, and trash bags, which keeps startup costs low.

You don’t need an office, expensive equipment, or licensing in most areas, making it one of the most affordable service businesses to launch. However, costs can rise significantly if you plan to invest heavily in advertising from day one.

What are the requirements to start a dog poop removal business?

Most pooper scooper businesses can be started without any special licenses or certifications. At a minimum, you’ll need basic cleanup tools, reliable transportation, and a way to manage scheduling and billing.

You should register your business, get general liability insurance, and check local regulations to see if a business license is required in your area. Many scoopers also set up a simple website and Google Business Profile to attract clients.

What tools do you need to start a pet waste removal service?

The basic tools you’ll need are a rake, lobby dustpan, waste bags, disinfectant spray, a smartphone, and reliable transportation. These cover everything required to service yards and dispose of waste safely.

Getting a CRM like Sweep&Go can also streamline scheduling, billing, and customer communication as you grow.

How do you set prices for your pooper scooper business?

Most pooper scooper businesses charge a flat monthly rate based on cleanup frequency, number of dogs, and yard size. A common starting range is $80 to $120 per month for weekly service.

You’ll also want to consider factors like local competition, travel time, and whether you offer one-time or recurring cleanups. Make sure your pricing covers labor, supplies, and leaves enough margin to grow profitably.
