Question 1

How much does dog waste removal cost in Minneapolis?

Accepted Answer

Minneapolis pricing starts at $20-35 per visit depending on yard size, number of dogs, and service frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly). Every plan includes professional scooping, double-bagged disposal, and a detailed poop report — our 3C stool recap covering Color, Consistency, and Content — after each visit. No contracts or hidden fees.

Question 2

What is 3C stool analysis?

Accepted Answer

3C stands for Color, Consistency, and Content—the three key indicators of dog stool health. Our AI system analyzes stool samples during each visit and generates a detailed poop report for your dog, delivered via your recap link. It helps you spot dietary issues, parasites, or health changes early without having to inspect yourself.

Question 3

What are the health risks of pet waste in my yard?

Accepted Answer

Dog waste contains harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella, parasites like roundworms and hookworms, and can contaminate groundwater. Regular professional removal reduces these health risks for your family and pets, prevents disease transmission, and keeps your yard safe for kids and outdoor activities.

Question 4

How often should I schedule dog poop pickup?

Accepted Answer

Weekly service is most popular for keeping yards clean and health monitoring consistent. Busy multi-dog households may prefer twice-weekly visits. Bi-weekly and monthly options work for smaller yards or single-dog homes. More frequent service provides better health trend data and keeps your yard guest-ready.

Question 5

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We're expanding fast through our scooper marketplace. See all live and upcoming cities at insightscoop.com/city. Once an area hits minimum viable density (local scoopers + customer demand), it goes live. Join the waitlist to help your city launch sooner.

Question 6

Do I need to sign a contract?

Accepted Answer

No contracts. You can pause, skip, or cancel anytime. We just ask for a quick heads up so we can update your route.

Question 7

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is based on dogs, yard size, and service cadence. Every plan includes consistent scooping plus a recap link with stool health notes.

Question 8

Why is every-other-week service more expensive per visit?

Accepted Answer

Every-other-week service is usually more per visit because there's more buildup to clear each time. Your monthly total can still be lower because there are fewer visits.

Question 9

How do you handle waste disposal?

Accepted Answer

Standard disposal is included with every visit-we double-bag waste and leave it tidy in your bin. Optional deodorizing adds a pet-safe fragrance mist after each scoop.

Question 10

What are the stool health notes?

Accepted Answer

They're simple, calm AI poop reports in your recap link: Color, Content, and Consistency. It's meant to help you spot changes over time without inspecting.

Question 11

What if my dog is in the yard?

Accepted Answer

We're pet-friendly. If your dog is comfortable with visitors, we'll proceed. Otherwise, you can secure your pup or we'll coordinate a revisit.

Question 12

How does this work with multiple dogs?

Accepted Answer

The recap is yard-based, not per-dog. With multiple dogs, we can't reliably attribute a specific note to a specific dog-but you still get a simple record of what was seen that week.

Question 13

Do you send constant alerts?

Accepted Answer

No. You get a recap link after service. It's designed to be low-noise-check it when you want.

Question 14

What if there's snow or bad weather?

Accepted Answer

We scoop in most weather. In heavy snowfall or unsafe conditions, we'll reschedule and catch up on the next visit.

Question 15

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Click 'Get my quote', choose your cadence, and we'll confirm availability and next steps.

Question 16

What's included in every visit?

Accepted Answer

Every visit includes complete yard scooping, double-bagged waste disposal in your bin, and a detailed poop report — our digital 3C stool recap (Color, Consistency, Content) — delivered via text or email. You'll also get weather delay notifications, missed visit alerts, and easy dashboard access to manage your schedule.

Question 17

How do I cancel my service?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel anytime from your dashboard or by emailing hello@getinsightscoop.com. No cancellation fees, no questions asked. We just ask for a quick heads up so we can update your scooper's route.

Question 18

Do you need access to my backyard?

Accepted Answer

Yes, scoopers need access to your yard to perform the service. Most customers leave a gate unlocked on service day or provide a gate code. If you have a locked gate, you can add gate access instructions during signup or in your dashboard settings.

Question 19

What happens on the first visit?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit is a fresh start. We'll scoop everything in your yard regardless of age, set up your account, and send your first 3C recap. After that, visits follow your chosen cadence (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly).
