Well, I'd like to know what you girls think of my business.
Since I can't work for a company right now [dyslexic and physicaly disabled] I decided I would fill a need.
Around here people don't clean up their doggie doo doo during the winter snows. Lives quite an impression when the snow melts though!
I thought I'd offer a one time shot cleaning up their yards for the coming BBQ season.
What do ya' think?
Smiles!

i think this is an awesome idea. taking the lemons you get and making lemonade and going the step further by selling the lemonade. i am wondering what your logo will look like? maybe some sort of doggie helping you scoop? well not sure on that? so what would be yours? i scoop poop here everyday. cow plops are huge. LOL if i pay anyone here for work its for poop scooping. happy days sherrye

Carla - I am pretty sure this is the service I saw on the documentary - it has some pretty interesting "scoop" on pet production of poop, so I thought I'd share! http://www.doodiedeeds.com/ Hugs - Nini

Thank for the info Jan.
Yep, I planned to get a business license if this worked out to anything.

Try to see if a dog park near you has a bulletin board and post your sign.
Also, see if obedience classes will let you post.
Also, humane society (pound) may have a bulletin board.
If your city requires a business license, get the license.
When you make some money, get insurance on yourself so that you can say you are city licensed and bonded.
If a dog gets out and they sue you, your insurance picks up the cost. Just some smart protection. |

Hey Carla,
I think you would do well. Be sure to wear gloves and a mask so you don't inhale anything. I would also contact local lawn care companies. They may have customers that would be willing to hire you.

Carla - that's SO great! There is a company in the Pittsburgh area that does so well that they were featured on a local interest documentary! I wish you all the best! You GO girl! Hugs - Nini (P.S. - Where's Loveland? My sis is in CO and has a Great Dane...)

I haven't heard of any business like this in my area, but with two dogs I would definately consider having someone clean my yard every so often. Good luck Carla!

There are quite a few people in my area who advertise to clean up yards in the spring and then set up a weekly or bi-weekly visit.
Good luck on your venture.
