We started with one
yard, two kids,
and a very full dog.
Scoop Troop is a small, locally owned crew based in Fairfax County. We're dog parents first — and we treat your yard like it's ours, because most days, it basically is.
"I built Scoop Troop because nobody else was treating other people's yards the way I'd want mine treated. We answer every text. We show up every Tuesday. We send a photo when we're done. That's the whole company."
Four rules we live by
We're not the cheapest option in NOVA. We're the team that texts you back, shows up when we said we would, and treats your yard like our own. Here's how we keep that promise.
If we wouldn't let our own kid crawl in it, we don't leave it. Period.
A photo every visit. No 'trust us' — receipts in your texts the moment we're done.
Every tech on our route owns a dog. We hire for empathy first, scooping technique second.
Same tech, same day, every week. You'll know your scooper's name and what truck they drive.
Three years in. Still answering every text ourselves.
We grew slowly on purpose. Every new family means another tech, another truck — never a dropped reply or a missed Tuesday.
The humans behind the scoops
Three of us today. Every one a dog parent. Every one trained, background-checked, and paid like a professional — because that's what they are.
"I started this because I wanted my own backyard back. Now I want yours back too."
"If a gate isn't double-latched, I'm walking back. Every time."
"The dogs know me by sound now. Half of them meet me at the gate."
Honest pay, real benefits, and yes — you can bring your dog to the truck. Email us if you love dogs and don't mind getting outside.
Built by dog people, for dog people
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.
Four things we obsess over
Not just promises — measurable commitments we hold ourselves to every single day.
Safe for your pup, safe for your yard
Letting someone into your yard takes trust. We earn it on every visit.
Pet-safe sanitizer
Plant-based, kid- and pup-friendly. No harsh chemicals on your grass.
Tools sanitized between yards
Every scoop, bag, and bin sprayed down before we step into your gate.
Closed-gate guarantee
Two checks before we leave. If a gate isn't latched, we don't go.
Same-day photo proof
A quick text with a photo of your clean yard the moment we're done.
Your first clean is free.
No contract, no commitment. If you don't love it, you don't pay a cent.
