Our story
Built by dog people, for dog people
MJ
Marcus Johnson
Founder · Dog dad · Fairfax, VA
I started Scoop Troop at my own back door — staring at a yard I couldn't let my toddler crawl in. One missed weekend turned into three, then a month.
We're dog parents first. We know what it feels like to put off the weekend chore one more week, and what it feels like to host friends without scanning the grass like a minesweeper.
Every tech we hire owns a dog. Every gate gets latched twice. Every visit ends with a photo so you know we were there.

In the interest of clarity
A few things we don't do — and we'd rather say it upfront than surprise you on a bill.
- Picking up debris that isn't pet waste
- Mowing, raking, or landscaping
- Service inside the home
If you need any of these, we know great local pros — just ask.
Why families switch
The only one that
actually shows up.
Most yards aren't dirty because nobody scoops — they're dirty because nobody scoops consistently.

12-month yard calendar
We work the seasons,
you don't have to.
Every NOVA month brings a different yard hazard — from tick season to fly peak to frozen-pile winter. Tap a month.
April · NOVA
Tick + parvo bloom
Severity
The hazard
Wet ground + warming temps = peak parvo and giardia survival window.
How we handle it
Tools are sanitized between every yard. We replace any tool that touched parvo.

What families say
The best chore you've
ever outsourced
★★★★★
"Honestly the best $130 I spend all month. Two kids, two dogs, full-time jobs — our yard was a nightmare. Scoop Troop shows up every Wednesday. We don't even think about it anymore."
SM
Sarah M.
Vienna, VA · Golden retriever mom
★★★★★
"Was skeptical at first. Now I recommend them to every dog owner in our neighborhood. The text-photo-when-done thing is genius."
DK
David K.
Oakton, VA · Black lab dad
★★★★★
"We host a lot. Having the yard always ready for guests — kids playing, friends over — is genuinely life-changing. Worth every penny."
JR
Jennifer R.
Reston, VA · Corgi mom × 2
★★★★★
"Scoop Troop has been here every Tuesday for 8 months. Same tech, always a text, always a photo. That's it. That's the whole pitch."
PS
Priya S.
McLean, VA · Goldendoodle mom
★★★★★
"Bear is 110 lbs and produces accordingly. These guys never complain, never miss, and the yard smells better than it did before we got him."
TB
Tom B.
Fairfax, VA · Bernese dad
★★★★★
"Booked the one-time deep clean before a baby shower. Yard looked brand new. Signed up for weekly that afternoon."
