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!

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.

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 Palenville?

Your price is based on yard size, number of pets, and visit frequency — no hidden fees. Use our free instant quote calculator to get your personalized rate in about 30 seconds. We offer weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and one-time cleanup options to fit any budget.

Do I need to be home when you come?

No. Most Palenville customers simply provide yard access instructions and go about their day. We send a text on arrival and a photo when the job is finished so you always know the work is done.

What happens if it rains on my scheduled service day?

Our crews work through rain and complete your service on schedule. If severe weather makes conditions unsafe, we reschedule to the next available day at no charge and notify you right away.

How often should I have my yard cleaned?

Weekly visits are the most effective way to keep a Palenville yard clean and odor-free. Homes with multiple dogs may benefit from twice-weekly service, while single small-dog households often do well with bi-weekly visits.

Is Clean Paws insured?

Yes. We carry commercial liability insurance in New York and every technician is background-checked. Certificates of insurance are available on request for HOAs or property managers.

Can I cancel or pause my service anytime?

Absolutely — no contracts and no cancellation fees. Pause, adjust, or cancel with a quick message and changes take effect immediately.

What do you do with the waste?

We bag everything, remove it from your property, and dispose of it per local regulations. Equipment is sanitized between yards so there's zero cross-contamination.

Year-Round Service

Pet Waste Removal in Palenville — Every Season

Greene County encompasses the heart of the Catskill Mountains and receives the heaviest snowfall in the entire service region. Mountain elevations create long, cold winters and a compressed growing season, with snow possible from October through April. The dramatic elevation change from the Hudson River flats at Catskill to the mountain peaks above Hunter means weather conditions can vary enormously within the county, but virtually all residents face challenging winter accumulation and intense spring thaw cycles.

46-52 inches

Annual Rainfall

60-80 inches

Annual Snowfall

Early April through mid-May

Peak Mud Season

Spring

Greene County's Catskill Mountain snowpack is among the deepest in the region, and the spring melt from April into May is dramatic. The sheer volume of melting snow, 60-80 inches worth, releases enormous amounts of accumulated pet waste across yards in a matter of weeks.

Summer

Greene County's mountain elevation keeps summers slightly cooler than the valley, but afternoon thunderstorms are frequent from June through August. Heavy rain events wash pet waste downhill and into streams, making timely removal important for both yard hygiene and local watershed health.

Fall

The Catskills' legendary fall foliage attracts thousands of visitors to Greene County each October, but it also buries residential yards under thick layers of leaves. Pet waste hidden in this dense leaf cover persists through winter if not removed before the first November snowfall.

Winter

Greene County is the snowiest county in the service area, averaging 60-80 inches with some mountain locations topping 90 inches. Heavy, persistent snowpack buries pet waste for five months or more, making year-round professional service the only practical solution for mountain homeowners.

Customer Reviews

What Our Greene 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.

“Our place in Catskill is our weekend retreat and we bring our dogs every trip. By the end of a long weekend the yard is wrecked. Clean Paws comes mid-week while we are away so it is always fresh when we arrive Friday night.”

Donna B.

Catskill, NY

“We live near the ski area in Windham and winters are brutal. Once spring hits and the snow melts, it is like an archaeological dig of dog waste. Clean Paws did a one-time spring cleanup and now handles bi-weekly through the warmer months.”

Kevin Y.

Windham, NY

“Our cabin near Hunter Mountain sits on a wooded lot and our three dogs treat the whole thing as their personal territory. I physically cannot keep up with three large dogs on uneven terrain. Weekly service has been an absolute necessity.”

Tamika G.
