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!

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 Shohola?

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 Shohola 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 Shohola 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 Pennsylvania 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 Shohola — Every Season

Pike County sits in the northern Pocono Plateau of Pennsylvania, with a continental climate that brings cold winters and warm, storm-prone summers. The county's proximity to the Delaware Water Gap and its numerous lakes and streams create locally variable weather patterns. Many properties are second homes or vacation rentals, making professional pet waste service especially valuable for owners who aren't present year-round to manage yard maintenance.

44-48 inches

Annual Rainfall

40-52 inches

Annual Snowfall

Mid-March through late April

Peak Mud Season

Spring

Pike County's northern Poconos elevation creates a prolonged spring thaw from mid-March through April. The Delaware River valley drains slowly, keeping yards saturated and revealing pet waste that has been buried under 40-52 inches of cumulative winter snowfall.

Summer

Pike County summers are warm with frequent afternoon thunderstorms fed by Pocono mountain uplift. These storms dump heavy rain that floods low-lying yards and spreads pet waste across properties. Weekly service between storms keeps lakefront and wooded properties sanitary.

Fall

Pike County's dense forests of oak, maple, and birch produce a heavy leaf drop from early October through November. Many properties border state game lands or lake communities where leaf cover is particularly thick, concealing pet waste that should be removed before first snow.

Winter

Pike County receives 40-52 inches of snow annually, with the higher elevations near Milford and Dingmans Ferry seeing the upper end of that range. Regular winter service prevents the kind of massive spring waste reveal that surprises homeowners every year in the Poconos.

“Living out by the Delaware Water Gap in Dingmans Ferry, our property is large and wooded. After back surgery, I could not handle cleanup for our dog. Clean Paws drives out to our rural spot every other week and does a thorough job.”

Derek J.

“We moved to Matamoras from New Jersey and tripled our yard size overnight. Three dogs on a big lot was exciting until we realized the cleanup workload. As new customers, Clean Paws had us set up in two days. Could not be happier.”
