FAQs:
1. Why don't you start doing pick ups sooner? We have found over the years that if we attempt pick ups before yards are dry, all we succeed in doing is smearing the waste in the grass and that defeats the purpose of having a clean up done.

2. Why don't you do pick ups during the day all the time? We are high school students so our schooling comes first.

3. What is the process to clean up a yard? We use a combination of raking/shoveling the waste as well as picking up by hand. On occasion we may rake up some leaves, twigs, etc but that is a bonus to you. Our job is to pick up dog waste - If you want your yard raked, then you need to hire someone else to do that.

4. What is done with the dog waste? We bag the waste in garbage bags we provide and deposit it into your garbage bins.

Unfortunately our Grand Poobah Poovak is in for repair 🙁 Repair itself is minor and will be quick, however, we need to wait for a part to come in. Means we may not have it back til April 8th. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Boo :( As a result of this impending storm and the forecast for the remainder of March, we will not be operational until at least March 30th. We will take bookings starting that date, but be advised that they may need to be rescheduled if there is too much snow, it is too cold or there is a large amount of water in your yard. Bookings will only be taken via messaging our page.

A reminder from Mother Nature to Saskatoon and area: winter isn’t over just yet. A storm moving in from Alberta is being forecast to bring strong winds and as much as 10 to 20 centimetres of snow in some parts of Saskatchewan, according to a winter storm watch issued Thursday by Environment Canada.

We will not be operational again until at least mid-March 2018.
