How does your pooper scooper service work?

It's simple! Sign up online, choose your service frequency, and we'll handle the rest. Our technician arrives on your scheduled day, thoroughly cleans your entire yard, sanitizes their equipment, and texts you when complete. You don't even need to be home!

What areas do you service?

We proudly serve Orange, Ulster & Pike County and more! This includes Middletown, Newburgh, Goshen, Monroe, Warwick, and all surrounding areas. Not sure if we service your area? Enter your zip code in our quote calculator!

Do I need to be home for my cleanup?

Nope! Most customers aren't home during service. We text when we're on the way and send a completion photo. As long as we can access your yard, we're good to go. Your dogs can even stay outside - we love making new furry friends!

What if I want to cancel or pause service?

No problem! There are NO contracts. Skip a week, pause for vacation, or cancel anytime with no fees or hassle. We believe in earning your business every visit, not locking you in. That's the Clean Paws difference.

How do you ensure safety for my dogs?

Safety is our priority. All technicians pass background checks. We use kennel-grade disinfectant on our equipment after every yard. We always secure gates behind us. And we're trained to work around pets - your dogs are in good hands!

Do you clean in winter and bad weather?

Absolutely! We're out there rain, snow, or shine. In fact, winter cleanups are crucial - waste accumulates under snow and becomes a nasty mess in spring. Only severe storms (blizzards, ice) will delay service, and we'll reschedule promptly.

Why should I pay for pooper scooper service?

Great question! Dog waste carries 23 million bacteria per gram - it's a health hazard. It kills grass, smells terrible, and attracts pests. Most customers tell us they save 2-3 hours weekly and wish they'd started sooner. Try us risk-free with a FREE first cleanup!

What's your satisfaction guarantee?

Simple: if you're not happy, we'll make it right. Missed a spot? We'll come back same day. Not satisfied? We'll fix it or refund your service. That's the Clean Paws promise.

What is a pooper scooper service?

A pooper scooper service is a professional pet waste removal company that visits your property on a regular schedule to pick up all dog poop from your yard. Clean Paws is the #1 rated pooper scooper service in the Hudson Valley, NY. Our trained, background-checked technicians handle everything — you never have to touch a thing.

How much does a pooper scooper service cost?

Pooper scooper pricing varies based on your yard size, number of dogs, and how often you want service. Every yard is unique, so we provide personalized quotes. Get a free custom quote at cleanpaws.io/booking — it takes under 60 seconds. Your first cleanup is FREE!

How often should I hire a pooper scooper?

For most homes with dogs, weekly pooper scooper service is ideal. It prevents waste buildup and keeps your yard clean and odor-free. Homes with 3+ dogs benefit from twice-weekly pooper scooper visits. Single-dog households with small breeds may do well with bi-weekly service. A single dog produces about 275 pounds of waste per year, so regular pooper scooper service makes a big difference.

Do pooper scooper services clean up all types of pet waste?

Our pooper scooper service primarily focuses on dog waste removal from residential and commercial yards. We can accommodate waste from other outdoor pets on a case-by-case basis. Our technicians thoroughly clean the entire yard during every visit, including hard-to-reach areas along fences and under bushes.

What areas does Clean Paws serve in New York?

Clean Paws provides pooper scooper service across 200+ cities in the Hudson Valley region. We serve Orange County (Middletown, Newburgh, Monroe, Goshen, Warwick), Dutchess County (Poughkeepsie, Beacon, Fishkill), Ulster County (Kingston, New Paltz), Rockland, Putnam, Sullivan, Westchester, Columbia, and Greene counties in NY, plus Pike and Monroe counties in PA.

Is a pooper scooper service worth it?

Absolutely! A professional pooper scooper service saves you 2-3 hours per week and protects your family from the 23 million bacteria per gram found in dog waste, including E. coli, roundworms, and giardia. It also prevents lawn damage, keeps pests away, and protects local waterways. Most customers say they wish they'd hired a pooper scooper sooner. Try Clean Paws risk-free — your first cleanup is FREE!

How does a professional pet waste removal service work?

When you hire Clean Paws as your pooper scooper, here's what happens: (1) Get a free custom quote online or by phone. (2) Choose your schedule and frequency — no contracts required. (3) Our trained, insured technician arrives on your day, cleans the entire yard, double-bags all waste, and removes it. (4) You get a text when done. It's that simple!

Can I hire a pooper scooper for a one-time cleanup?

Yes! Clean Paws offers one-time pooper scooper cleanups for yards that need a deep clean. This is perfect for spring cleanups after winter, moving in or out of a home, preparing for an event, or giving our pooper scooper service a try before starting a recurring plan. Get a free quote at cleanpaws.io.

Why is dog poop bad for my lawn?

Despite what many people think, dog poop is NOT a fertilizer. Its high nitrogen and phosphorus content actually burns grass, leaving brown spots and dead patches. It also contaminates the soil with harmful bacteria and parasites that persist for years. Regular pooper scooper service from Clean Paws keeps your lawn green, healthy, and safe for your family to enjoy.

How much does pooper scooper service cost in Cold Spring Village?

Pricing depends on your yard size, pet count, and preferred visit frequency — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or a one-time deep clean. Rather than listing a generic rate, we personalize every quote so you only pay for what your yard actually needs. Our free quote calculator gives you an accurate price in under a minute with zero commitment. Most Cold Spring Village customers are surprised at how affordable regular service turns out to be.

Do I need to be home when you come?

No — the majority of our Cold Spring Village clients aren't home during service, and that works great. Share your gate access details when you sign up and we'll let ourselves in, clean the yard, and lock up behind us. You'll get a text when we arrive and a confirmation photo once we're done. Just keep pets secured indoors while we're working.

What happens if it rains on my scheduled service day?

Light to moderate rain doesn't affect our schedule — our technicians come prepared for wet conditions and will complete your visit as planned. In the case of dangerous weather like thunderstorms or icy roads, we'll move your service to the next available day free of charge. We always send a notification if anything changes so you're never left guessing.

How often should I have my yard cleaned?

Weekly service is the most popular choice among Cold Spring Village pet owners because it prevents odor buildup and keeps your grass healthy between mowings. During warmer months waste breaks down faster and attracts more flies, so some customers bump up to twice weekly from May through September. Bi-weekly can work well for single small-dog households, especially in cooler weather. We'll suggest a starting frequency during your quote and you can adjust anytime.

Is Clean Paws insured?

We are fully insured with commercial general liability coverage across New York, so your property is protected during every visit. Each team member undergoes a background check and receives hands-on training before servicing any yard. If your HOA or landlord needs a certificate of insurance, we can provide one quickly. Professionalism and accountability are core to how we operate in Cold Spring Village and beyond.

Can I cancel or pause my service anytime?

Yes — there are no long-term contracts and no cancellation penalties. You can pause for a trip, change your visit frequency, or cancel entirely with a simple message. Changes take effect immediately, and if you pause, we'll pick right back up whenever you're ready. Our Cold Spring Village customers appreciate the no-strings-attached approach.

What do you do with the waste?

All waste is bagged on site, sealed, and removed from your property — we never leave bags behind for you to deal with. Disposal follows local Putnam County regulations, and we sanitize our equipment between jobs to prevent cross-contamination. The result is a completely hands-off experience from pickup to disposal.

Year-Round Service

Pet Waste Removal in Cold Spring Village — Every Season

Putnam County occupies hilly terrain between Westchester and Dutchess counties, with elevations that bring noticeably more snow than the lower Hudson Valley. The county's rocky, wooded landscape creates uneven drainage during spring thaw, and its mix of lakefront properties and hillside homes presents unique pet waste management challenges. Year-round service helps homeowners keep both flat and sloped yard areas clean and safe.

48-52 inches

Annual Rainfall

34-42 inches

Annual Snowfall

Mid-March through mid-April

Peak Mud Season

Spring

Putnam County's hilly terrain channels snowmelt downhill through yards during the March-April thaw, carrying dissolved pet waste with it and creating unsanitary runoff patterns. Properties on slopes need spring cleanup especially early to prevent waste from washing into lower areas.

Summer

Putnam County's wooded, hilly landscape traps summer humidity, and afternoon temperatures regularly reach the upper 80s. The thick tree cover keeps some yards shaded and damp, which slows waste decomposition but increases the risk of mold and parasite survival in pet waste.

Fall

Putnam County's heavily forested hillsides produce thick blankets of fall leaves, and the hilly terrain makes leaf blowing and waste cleanup physically demanding. Professional service before November's first hard freeze ensures waste doesn't overwinter beneath leaves and snow.

Winter

Putnam County's elevation and inland position deliver 34-42 inches of snow annually, more than Westchester to the south but less than the Catskills counties to the north. Steep driveways and sloped yards make winter waste removal challenging without professional help.

Customer Reviews

What Our Putnam County Customers Say

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what pet owners in the Hudson Valley have to say about Clean Paws.

“Living near Lake Mahopac in Carmel, we spend a lot of time outdoors with our dogs. Two big labs on a large yard means a lot of waste, especially after a rainy stretch. Clean Paws comes weekly and the yard stays usable year-round.”

Diane W.

Carmel, NY

“We just moved to Brewster from Connecticut and our new place has more yard than we have ever had. Between the puppy and settling in, yard cleanup was not happening. Clean Paws got us set up as new customers and it has been seamless.”

Raj P.

Brewster, NY

“Our property in Cold Spring sits on a hillside near the Hudson and the terrain makes scooping a chore. With three dogs and an aging back, I finally gave in and called Clean Paws. Bi-weekly visits have been a game changer for us.”
