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 - and why we have a 4.9-star Google rating.

What is a pooper scooper service?

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.

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.

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.

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.

No, you don't need to be home! We can access your yard through a gate or fence. Just make sure your pets are secured indoors or in a separate area. We'll text you when we're on our way and send a confirmation when the job is complete.

How often should I schedule pet waste removal?

For most Stone Ridge households with dogs, we recommend weekly service to keep your yard consistently clean and odor-free. Homes with multiple dogs may benefit from twice-weekly service, while single-pet homes with smaller dogs might do well with bi-weekly visits.

Is Clean Paws licensed and insured in New York?

Do you clean yards in Stone Ridge during winter and bad weather?

Yes! We service Stone Ridge year-round, rain, snow, or shine. Winter cleanups are especially important because waste accumulates under snow and becomes a major problem in spring. Only severe storms like blizzards or ice will delay service, and we reschedule promptly.

Is dog poop harmful to my yard and family in Stone Ridge?

Yes, dog waste is a genuine health hazard. It carries 23 million bacteria per gram including E. coli, salmonella, and parasites like roundworm. It kills grass, pollutes local waterways in Ulster County, and attracts pests. The EPA classifies pet waste as a pollutant in the same category as oil and toxic chemicals.

Year-Round Service

Pet Waste Removal in Stone Ridge — Every Season

Ulster County spans from the Hudson River shoreline at Kingston to the high peaks of the Catskills, creating dramatic climate variation within the county. Western towns receive significantly more snow and precipitation than the river valley, and spring thaw arrives weeks later at elevation. This extended winter-to-spring transition makes year-round pet waste service particularly valuable for Ulster County homeowners.

46-52 inches

Annual Rainfall

48-65 inches

Annual Snowfall

Late March through early May

Peak Mud Season

Spring

Ulster County's Catskills influence means snow lingers well into April at higher elevations. The prolonged melt sends runoff through yards for weeks, turning months of buried pet waste into a widespread contamination problem that demands prompt professional cleanup.

Summer

Ulster County summers are warm but punctuated by afternoon thunderstorms rolling off the Catskills. These sudden downpours wash pet waste across lawns and into garden beds. Weekly service keeps your property sanitary between storms.

Fall

The western Catskills foothills of Ulster County produce spectacular fall color but also heavy leaf drop from September through November. Waste hidden under leaf litter decomposes slowly in cooling temperatures and creates brown spots that persist into the following spring.

Winter

Ulster County averages 48-65 inches of snow annually, with mountain towns like Woodstock and Phoenicia seeing even more. Frozen pet waste accumulates quickly under heavy snowfall and becomes impossible to find without regular scheduled removal.

Customer Reviews

What Our Ulster 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.

“We live in the Rondout area of Kingston and our yard backs up to a wooded lot. Between our two shepherds and the leaves, spring cleanup was a nightmare. Clean Paws did a one-time spring cleanout and now we do weekly to keep it maintained.”

Rachel S.

Kingston, NY

“As a professor at SUNY New Paltz, my schedule is packed. I barely had time to walk my dog, let alone clean up after him in the yard. The bi-weekly service fits my budget and keeps the small backyard behind our rental in great shape.”

Brian O.

New Paltz, NY

“Our Woodstock property is about an acre and a half with three rescue dogs who have the run of the place. After the snow melted this past March, I was horrified. Clean Paws handled the whole thing in one visit and now comes weekly.”
