Yes! Safe Step Services provides dog waste removal services year-round. Even in the winter, we will still show up to provide services. However, if there is inclement weather on your day of service, Safe Step Services will visit the following week. Due to the accumulation of dog waste during the skipped week and it taking a bit longer to clean up the next visit, regular rates apply.
No contracts! You can start, pause, and cancel your subscription at any time by updating your customer portal or calling the office.
Plans start as low as $46 per month. However, pricing is based on service frequency and number of dogs. Most clients pay between $80 and $135 per month.
Our fee is primarily based on the frequency of service and the number of dogs in an average sized yard. However, if after the first scooping service is performed and it is determined that your yard is exceedingly large, Safe Step Services will notify you of a price adjustment.
