How It All Started
Who would want to start a pooper scooper company? Is there really such a thing as a pooper scooper service? Is there a dog poop removal service near me? These are the exact same questions I had the first time I saw a pet waste cleanup truck while Clyde, my dog, and I were on one of our daily walks. I didn’t think much of it at first. About six months later, we saw them again.
I became intrigued. I looked into what poop scooping service was, what they offered, and how legitimate the business really was.
Then I started looking for a job as a pooper scooper. It seemed to have everything I was looking for in a job- being around dogs, being outside, being physically active, and being independent. I got hooked on the idea. I looked up other dog waste removal companies near me. I found there were a few, but not many. That's when I started my own dog poop removal business.
After a few months, I finally decided to go ahead and start my very own pet waste removal company from the ground up- one that incorporated my values, beliefs, and vision. I wanted a company I could guarantee would put pets and people before profits.
The Poo Pro was born. And who better to take along with me on the bumpy ride of a poop pick up company than my best friend, Clyde. It was a no-brainer to make him my brand ambassador and the face of The Poo Pro.
About Clyde (2012-2021)
I adopted Clyde from the Conroe Animal Shelter in June of 2012. He was only 4 months old and full of energy, ready to join a family. The volunteers at the shelter assured me that he was a good dog who just needed some discipline. And boy, he needed discipline.
While he was excited to join the family, he had a lot to learn. I had 2 cats that he saw as toys, so I worked hard to teach him to respect their boundaries. I also had to teach him to not eat my furniture. In the first 6 months with me, he ate an entire welcome mat, a baseball, and a full box of tissues.
Clyde worked really hard to be the good boy I knew he could be. He turned out to be a wonderful dog and sidekick.
He loved to eat, swim, beg for food, bark at people who walked the greenbelt behind the house, eat, cuddle with his cat siblings, beg for food, play at day camp, eat, watch tv with me in the evenings, and- last but not least- beg for food.
About Clifford​​
After Clyde passed away, the house immediately became too quiet and lonely. I could not live without a dog.
I went back to the Conroe Animal Shelter and immediately saw a small bridle pup. He was calm and had the sweetest eyes ever. I took him out to the shelter's yard and hung out with him to see if he'd be a good fit for the home. Since I already had two senior cats, I thought it would be best to get a dog that was not too hyper.
Clifford seemed like he could get along well with the cats. I brought him home, and he immediately made himself comfortable. At his first vet visit, we found out he had a respiratory infection. But three days after starting antibiotics, he became an endless bundle of energy.
The family welcomed him, and everyone got along. He has more energy than I've ever seen in a dog- the day camp where he stays agrees. They've reported he runs around nonstop for the entire stay.
I love him to bits and can't wait to see what adventures we go on.
