What factors affect the cost of dog waste removal? →Category 2 of 7
Every Lawn Dogs visit includes a full back yard scoop (every corner, behind bushes, along fences), waste hauled away in our truck, a gate photo confirmation texted to you, and a treat at your door. You get a 30-minute heads-up text before we arrive.
The Lawn Dogs always hauls waste away in our truck. We never leave it in your trash bin. Most competitors bag and leave. We load it in our truck and dispose of it properly at approved facilities - so your bins stay odor-free and your yard is truly clear.
This is our single biggest operational differentiator. When you look at other services in Treasure Valley, most of them bag the waste and leave it in your bin. Your trash can then smells like dog waste for a week, attracts flies, and your garage or side yard takes the hit.
We load every bag into our truck and haul it to approved disposal facilities. It's more work and more cost on our end - but it's the right way to do it, and our clients notice the difference immediately.
The Lawn Dogs recommends weekly service for 2+ dogs or large breeds. Every-other-week works well for single-dog households. The average back yard with 2 medium dogs accumulates ~14 pounds of waste per week - weekly service prevents the dangerous buildup problem.
Weekly - most popular. Best for 2+ dogs, large breeds, yards where kids play, and summer months. This is what most of our clients choose.
Twice-Weekly (Premium) - best for 3+ dogs, very large breeds, or clients who want their yard consistently pristine. Minimal buildup between visits.
Every-Other-Week (Budget Friendly) - works well for single-dog households or smaller yards. Some clients supplement with their own scooping between visits.
Not sure? Start weekly. You can adjust your frequency anytime at no penalty - just text us.
No problem. The Lawn Dogs serves households with any size pack. For more than 5 dogs, call or text 208-248-2098 and we'll build a custom quote based on your dog count, yard size, and frequency. We've got you covered.
We've served clients with 6, 7, and 8+ dogs. The work scales up - the service quality doesn't change. Call or text 208-248-2098 and we'll put together a fair, transparent quote within 24 hours.
Nope - that's the whole point. The Lawn Dogs clients are almost never home during service. You provide gate access at signup, we handle everything, then send you a photo of your secured gate when we're done. Full confirmation, zero hassle.
You provide your gate access details when you sign up. Gate code, combination lock, or an unlocked gate that we re-latch on the way out - whatever works for you. After every visit we photograph the secured gate and text it to you. All team members are background-checked and arrive in branded uniforms.

The Lawn Dogs commits to your scheduled service day, not a specific time of day. Arrival windows shift week to week because our routing software optimizes each day's route for efficiency using Google Maps. You'll always get a reminder the night before your visit, and a 60-to-30-minute heads-up text before our team arrives.
Every client picks the frequency that fits their yard. Weekly, every other week, twice-weekly, or a once-a-month reset. From there, we assign the service day that fits that frequency into the route for your area. The day stays consistent. The exact time does not. One Tuesday your yard might be an early-morning stop. The next Tuesday it might be late afternoon. The route flexes so every dog parent gets the frequency they signed up for, on the day we committed to.
If you have a specific access concern, like a dog that needs to be inside at a certain hour or a gate that needs to be unlocked at a specific time, text us at 208-248-2098 and we'll work with you whenever we can. We can't guarantee a time, but we can often accommodate a specific need with advance notice.
Our route is a mix of weekly, every-other-week, twice-weekly, and monthly clients. The exact lineup of yards on any given route day changes week to week. We build the most efficient route possible for the team and the truck, which keeps service dependable and pricing fair for every client on the route.
Service is pre-paid monthly. If we arrive and can't get in due to a locked, blocked, or frozen gate, that visit counts as rendered - we showed up on schedule. No refund is issued. A $5 return trip fee applies if you need us to come back. Easiest fix: add your gate code to your account.
We drove to your home on schedule. The inability to access isn't something we can control. Pre-paid service means the visit is counted as rendered. We're always willing to work with you - the easiest long-term solution is sharing your gate code in your Client Portal so we never have this problem.
The Lawn Dogs happily works around friendly dogs. We cannot work around aggressive animals. If we have to leave due to an aggressive dog, that visit is charged as rendered. Clients are responsible for providing accurate information about their dog's temperament and keeping vaccination records current.
Most of our clients' dogs are friendly and curious, and we love getting to say hi. For dogs that are protective or territorial, please put them inside or in a separate area before your service window. This protects both your dog and our team.
If a team member is bitten, we leave immediately for medical attention. The visit is charged as rendered and the yard is left as-is. All medical costs are the client's responsibility. We may contact Animal Control depending on the situation. Please be honest about your dog's temperament at signup - it keeps everyone safe.

See full pricing and plan details →The Lawn Dogs does not service on Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. If your service day falls on one of these, we skip that week and resume your next scheduled date. No refund is issued - we pick up the accumulated waste on the next visit.
When a holiday causes a skip, no refund is issued - your monthly rate stays the same. On your next scheduled visit we clean everything that accumulated, including from the skipped week. Your yard is fully caught up every time.
Yes - you can pause The Lawn Dogs service for up to 90 days anytime. Text 208-248-2098 or use your Client Portal. Pauses longer than 90 days result in removal from the schedule. Re-enrollment is easy - just reach back out and we'll get you back on the route.
We always do our best to find everything. Tall grass, heavy leaf cover, and debris make waste genuinely hard to spot - some may be missed. The Lawn Dogs will get anything missed on the next scheduled visit once the yard is clear. If it's excessive, email us at scoop@thelawndogs.com right away.
We get it - life happens and yards aren't always perfectly groomed. We're not here to judge, we're here to help. But waste that's buried under 4 inches of leaves or hidden in 8-inch grass is genuinely invisible to us. The more you can keep the lawn trimmed, the better we can serve you.
If you notice we missed more than usual, email scoop@thelawndogs.com as soon as possible - ideally the same day. We'll work with you to make it right.

Yes. The Lawn Dogs services year-round including winter and snow. We scoop through cold temperatures and light snow. We only pause service for severe weather that's unsafe for our team or could damage your lawn. Winter is actually our busiest season - everyone discovers what's been hiding under the snow.
Idaho winters are real, and we're built for them. Here's how we handle the cold season:
Yes. The Lawn Dogs has a no-rain-check policy. We scoop through light and moderate rain - the job doesn't stop because it's cloudy. We only skip during severe weather that's unsafe for our team. If the yard is excessively muddy, we may hold off to avoid tearing up your lawn.
Rain is just part of the job in the Pacific Northwest and high desert. A little drizzle doesn't slow us down. The only exceptions are severe thunderstorms with lightning, extreme winds, or conditions that would leave your yard more damaged than clean.
Full post: Our no-rain-check policy →When The Lawn Dogs skips a visit due to severe weather, we resume on your next scheduled date and collect everything - including what accumulated the week we missed. No refund is issued. Your monthly rate stays flat. We need to do the same amount of work on the makeup visit anyway.
When we skip a week due to weather, we still collect everything on your next visit - that's two weeks of waste in one stop. The workload is the same, just consolidated. Your monthly rate reflects the full service including these catch-up visits.
If you need the area cleaned before your next scheduled visit - maybe you have guests coming or a kid's birthday party - call or text us at 208-248-2098. We'll do our best to fit you in. We can't always guarantee it, but we always try.
