Scoop local yards. Choose the offers that fit your week.
Work as an independent contractor cleaning dog waste from customers’ yards. Pick your zones and availability, see the pay and distance in the app, and choose which offers to accept.
We’re in a Twin Cities beta capped at 50 yards in total, with the wider launch planned for Spring 2027. Offers depend on demand in your zones. Hours, visits and earnings are not guaranteed.
$6 to $30 per completed yard, plus mileage and PPE pay, helping pet families in your neighborhood.
*Pay is per completed yard: $6 to $30, which is 45% of what the customer pays for that visit, set by dog count, yard size and schedule, and shown on the offer before you accept it. We have not launched, so there is no earnings history to quote you, and our Twin Cities beta is capped at 50 yards in total until the full launch in Spring 2027. Run your own numbers in the calculator below.

Drag the sliders to model your week. We pay per completed yard. The more yards you complete the more you earn, and nobody sets you a quota. Nobody has run a route yet either, so here is the arithmetic rather than an average:
*Each row is arithmetic, not an observation: yards per week, times $7 to $20, which is what a weekly yard pays (one dog on a small yard up to four dogs on an acre). Less frequent visits pay more per yard, up to $30. Mileage, a supplies stipend and tips come on top. Actual earnings vary with route density, location, and how many offers you accept. Your first 20 visits also carry the $3 kit deduction described below. The top row is every yard in our 50-yard beta, so read the capacity note below before you plan a week around it.
Our Twin Cities beta is capped at 50 yards in total while we get this right, so early routes are short and there are not many of them yet.
Paid on top: mileage at $0.725 a mile, and $0.75 for PPE on every completed visit. Your first 20 visits each carry a $3 kit deduction, $60 in all.
How much work there actually is right now.
We have not launched yet. Our Twin Cities beta is capped at 50 yards in total and the full launch is Spring 2027. The weeks above are what this work pays once the routes are there, and they are not what is on offer this month. At the cap, the whole programme is about the size of a single steady route, so plan on a short list of stops at first and more of them as we grow.

Apply now and you are in the first group we send offers to when a yard opens near you. We would rather you hear the ceiling from us than run into it in your first week.

Check in, follow the yard and access instructions, pick up and bag waste, add sample photos when wellness tracking is enabled, and complete the visit checklist with the required photos.

Become a Certified Walker.
Already scooping? Pass the in-app dog-walking certification (training, a short quiz, and a liability acknowledgement) and start taking walks on your routes. Walks pay 50% of the walk price, plus mileage and PPE. That’s about $8 per add-on walk and $13+ per standalone walk on top of your scooping income.
*Per-walk pay is 50% of the current flat walk price ($16 add-on / $26 standalone), before mileage and PPE. Only certified walkers are offered walks.

Everything in the box
Product renderings. The kit that ships may differ in small details.
Eight things, and one line on what each one is for. It ships assembled and it is yours to keep.
Smart 3C collection device
The scoop, tray and camera in one. It records the 3C wellness note while you work, so the health record writes itself.
Biodegradable waste bags
Two rolls of 1,000 to start you off, enough to double-bag every yard on your first routes.
Disposable nitrile gloves
A box of 100. A clean pair for every property, which is the rule and not a suggestion.
Hand sanitizer gel
A 16 oz bottle for your own hands between properties, before you touch a gate latch or your phone.
Sanitizer sprayer
The mint bottle. Cordless, refillable, and used on your gear and bins between stops rather than on your hands.
Deodorizer sprayer
The coral bottle, and a separate one on purpose so the two treatments never share a tank. Every scooper carries it, whether or not today's route has a deodorizing customer on it.
InsightScoop vest
How a customer knows the person in their yard is meant to be there, without having to ask.
Quick-start guide
Your first route step by step, and the activation code that switches the kit on.
The kit costs $60. You keep it. The cost comes back out of your first 20 visits at $3 each, and after that you earn your full rate. Read the kit terms
A ladder you can climb.
Customers can see who is coming. Badges are how you tell them, and every one of them is earned rather than assigned.
- Background check
- Every scooper passes one before a first route, and we pay for it. This is the one thing on this page that is not optional.
- Required
- Insured
- Carry your own insurance and upload the proof, and an Insured badge appears on your profile for customers. It never gates an offer and it never gates your pay.
- Optional
- Certified Walker
- Pass the in-app certification and dog walks start appearing in your offers, paid at half the walk price on top of your scooping.
- Earned in the app
Completed visits move you up a tier that customers see next to your name:
What you need.
You must be at least 16, have a smartphone and reliable transport for your zones, pass a background check, complete training and its quiz, and sign the Independent Contractor Agreement. If you drive, you need a valid license and your own auto insurance. The application also supports bike and walking zones.
