Professional Dog Waste Removal Services in Metro Atlanta

Our Pet Waste and Lawn Care Services

Professional Dog Waste Removal & Pooper Scooper Service

Enjoy Your Yard Without the Dirty Work

Our professional dog waste removal service takes one of the most unpleasant household chores off your to-do list. A uniformed Tidy Tails technician carefully walks your yard, locates and removes visible dog waste, and performs a final inspection before completing the visit.

We offer recurring weekly, biweekly, and twice-weekly service, as well as one-time initial cleanups for yards that need a fresh start.

What Is Included

• A thorough walkthrough of the designated service area
• Removal of visible dog waste
• Careful inspection around grass, landscaping and common pet areas
• Secure closing of gates after service
• Service notifications and completion updates
• Flexible service options based on your household and number of dogs
• Optional sanitization, deodorization and haul-away services

Benefits of Professional Dog Waste Removal

Routine pet waste removal helps you:

• Spend more time enjoying your yard and less time cleaning it
• Reduce unpleasant odors around your home
• Create a cleaner environment for children, guests and pets
• Avoid tracking dog waste into your home
• Improve the appearance and usability of your lawn
• Keep waste from accumulating between busy workweeks
• Maintain a more welcoming outdoor space

What Happens When Dog Waste Is Left in the Yard?

Dog waste does not simply disappear after a few days. When it remains on the lawn, it can create strong odors, attract flies and other pests, damage the appearance of the yard, and be stepped in or tracked indoors.

Rain can also break down the waste and spread contaminated material across the lawn or into nearby drainage areas. The longer waste accumulates, the more difficult and unpleasant the cleanup becomes.

Perfect For

• Busy professionals
• Seniors and individuals with limited mobility
• Families with children
• Multi-dog households
• New parents
• Homeowners preparing for guests or events
• Rental and vacation properties
• Anyone who simply does not want to scoop poop

Ready to stop scooping? Let Tidy Tails handle the dirty work.

One-Time Initial Cleanup & Yard Reset

Give an Overdue Yard a Fresh Start

Has it been several weeks—or even several months—since your yard was thoroughly cleaned? Our Initial Cleanup and Yard Reset service is designed for properties with accumulated dog waste that require more time and attention than a routine service visit.

Our technicians carefully inspect the yard, remove visible pet waste, and prepare the property for recurring maintenance.

Benefits of a Yard Reset

• Quickly restores an overdue backyard
• Makes the lawn safer and more comfortable to use
• Removes accumulated waste before recurring service begins
• Helps reduce persistent odors and pest activity
• Prepares the property for gatherings, landscaping or move-in
• Prevents the homeowner from having to tackle a large cleanup alone

The Risk of Waiting

Accumulated dog waste can become hidden beneath tall grass, leaves and landscaping. Over time, the odor may intensify, flies may become more noticeable, and the yard may become difficult for family members or pets to use comfortably.

Starting with a professional cleanup makes ongoing maintenance easier and prevents the problem from continuing to grow.

Lawn Sanitization

Help Reduce Germs in Frequently Used Pet Areas

Removing dog waste is an important first step, but microscopic residue can remain on grass, soil, patios, kennels and other outdoor surfaces.

Our lawn sanitization service applies a pet-conscious sanitizing solution to designated areas of your property. It is especially valuable for homes with multiple dogs, children who play outside, frequent pet visitors, or yards that have experienced significant waste accumulation.

Benefits of Lawn Sanitization

Lawn sanitization can help:

• Reduce odor-causing and unwanted microorganisms in treated areas
• Provide an additional layer of cleanliness after waste removal
• Refresh heavily used dog areas
• Improve confidence when children and pets use the lawn
• Support a cleaner outdoor environment
• Treat patios, kennels, dog runs and other approved surfaces
• Maintain the yard between seasonal deep cleanings

Why Waste Removal Alone May Not Be Enough

Picking up dog waste removes the visible material, but it does not necessarily address residue left behind on the surrounding grass or soil. In multi-dog yards and heavily used pet areas, routine sanitization provides a more complete approach to outdoor cleanliness.

Sanitization is particularly helpful after an initial cleanup, during warmer months, or when a property has recurring odor and cleanliness concerns.

Recommended For

• Multi-dog households
• Homes with young children
• Dog runs and kennels
• Patio and balcony pet-relief areas
• Yards used by foster or boarding dogs
• Properties recovering from heavy waste accumulation
• Homeowners who want a more comprehensive cleaning service

Lawn Deodorization

Neutralize Pet Odors Instead of Covering Them Up

Persistent dog odors can make it difficult to enjoy your patio, backyard or pet-relief area. Our lawn deodorization service is designed to address odor-prone areas and leave the property smelling cleaner and fresher.

The deodorizer is applied to designated areas where pet odors are most concentrated, including grass, artificial turf, patios, dog runs and other approved outdoor surfaces.

Benefits of Lawn Deodorization

• Helps neutralize unpleasant pet odors
• Makes patios and outdoor seating areas more enjoyable
• Refreshes common dog-relief areas
• Improves the experience for guests and neighbors
• Complements recurring dog waste removal
• Can be scheduled regularly during warm or humid weather
• Works well for natural grass and approved hardscape areas

Why Pet Odors Become Worse Over Time

Dog urine and waste residue can settle into grass, soil, artificial turf and porous outdoor surfaces. Heat and humidity can intensify those odors, especially in areas where dogs repeatedly relieve themselves.

Air fresheners and temporary fragrances may mask the smell briefly, but they often do not address the odor at its source. Routine deodorization helps prevent odors from becoming overwhelming.

Ideal For

• Small or enclosed backyards
• Townhomes and patio homes
• Artificial turf
• Apartment balconies and patios
• Multi-dog households
• Outdoor entertaining areas
• Dog runs and kennel spaces
• Properties with recurring urine odors

Enjoy a yard that smells as clean as it looks.

Flea and Tick Lawn Treatment

Help Protect the Outdoor Spaces Your Pets Use Most

Fleas and ticks can hide in grass, shaded areas, leaf litter, shrubs and other places where pets spend time. Our flea and tick lawn treatment targets approved outdoor areas where these pests are likely to live and reproduce.

This service is designed to complement—not replace—veterinary flea and tick prevention used directly on your pet.

Benefits of Flea and Tick Lawn Treatment

• Helps reduce flea and tick activity in treated outdoor areas
• Targets common pest-harboring areas around the lawn
• Supports your pet’s existing flea and tick prevention routine
• Makes outdoor play areas more comfortable
• Helps interrupt outdoor pest activity before it becomes more severe
• Provides added protection during Atlanta’s warmer months
• Can be combined with waste removal and lawn sanitization

What Is the Risk of Leaving the Lawn Untreated?

Fleas can reproduce quickly once they become established, while ticks can remain hidden in tall grass, brush and shaded areas. Dogs can carry these pests indoors, where fleas may spread to carpets, furniture and pet bedding.

Pet waste, overgrown vegetation, moisture and wildlife activity may also make certain outdoor areas more attractive to pests. Treating the lawn as part of a broader prevention strategy can help reduce the likelihood of an outdoor pest problem moving inside.

Important Notice

No outdoor treatment can guarantee that every flea or tick will be eliminated. Results may vary based on weather, neighboring properties, wildlife, lawn conditions and the severity of the infestation.

For the best protection, homeowners should maintain veterinarian-recommended flea and tick prevention for their pets and keep the lawn properly maintained.

Dog Waste Haul-Away Service

We Remove the Waste From Your Property

Some pooper scooper companies bag the dog waste and leave it in the customer’s outdoor trash container. Tidy Tails offers optional haul-away service for customers who would prefer that the collected waste leave with us.

Once your yard has been serviced, the properly secured waste is removed from the property and handled according to our disposal procedures.

Benefits of Waste Haul-Away

• Keeps pet waste out of your household trash container
• Helps reduce trash-can odors
• Prevents waste from sitting on the property until collection day
• Provides a cleaner, more complete service experience
• Is convenient for customers with limited trash capacity
• Helps prevent bags from leaking, tearing or attracting pests
• Works well for large cleanups and multi-dog households

What Happens When Bagged Waste Is Left Behind?

Even when properly bagged, dog waste can create strong odors inside an outdoor trash container—especially during Atlanta’s hot summer months. Bags may also be damaged by animals, insects or normal trash handling.

Haul-away service removes that concern and allows you to enjoy the completed cleanup without dealing with the waste afterward.

We scoop it, secure it and take it away.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should my yard be cleaned?

Weekly dog waste removal is the most popular option for maintaining a consistently clean yard. Larger dogs, multiple dogs and smaller yards may benefit from twice-weekly service. Biweekly service may work for some one-dog households, depending on yard use and waste accumulation.

Do I have to be home during service?

No. You do not have to be home as long as our technician can safely access the approved service area and all dogs are secured indoors.

Do you notify me before arriving?

Yes. Customers receive service-related notifications. You must confirm that dogs are secured and that it is safe for the technician to enter the yard.

Can my dog remain outside while you clean?

No. For the safety of your pet and our technician, dogs must be secured inside the home or in a separate area before we enter the yard.

What happens to the dog waste?

Depending on your selected service, the waste will either be securely bagged and placed in your designated outdoor trash container or removed through our optional haul-away service.

Is lawn sanitization safe for pets?

We use products according to their labels and application requirements. Pets and people must remain away from treated areas for the period specified by the product instructions and your technician.

Does lawn deodorization remove all pet odors?

Deodorization can significantly improve many outdoor pet odors, but results depend on the surface, severity, drainage, weather and length of time the odor has been present. Some areas may require recurring treatment.

Does flea and tick lawn treatment replace my pet’s medication?

No. Outdoor flea and tick treatment should be used as part of a broader prevention plan. Continue using veterinarian-recommended protection for your pets.

Do you service large yards?

Yes. Our standard pricing applies to properties within the included service size. Larger lawns may require a yard-size surcharge or custom quote.

Do you provide one-time cleanups?

Yes. Our Initial Cleanup and Yard Reset service is ideal for overdue yards, move-ins, special events, seasonal cleanups and customers who want to begin recurring service.
