It's probably not anyone's favorite chore.

But for millions of dog owners, it's one they have to deal with every single week.

Whether it's a busy family, an older homeowner, someone with mobility challenges, or simply a dog owner who'd rather spend their Saturday doing something else, paying someone to handle the cleanup is an easy decision.

That's exactly what this business offers.

Customers schedule weekly, bi-weekly, or one-time cleanups through your website. You stop by, clean the yard, securely dispose of the waste, and head to the next home.

It's a simple business, but that's part of what makes it so appealing. Most customers don't just book once—they book on a recurring schedule, which means you can spend less time chasing new customers and more time building reliable monthly income.

The platform included in this Launch already gives you a professional website, online booking, pricing pages, FAQs, and everything you need to start taking bookings.

This business is already built for you.

Simply remix the platform, customize it with your own branding, pricing, and service area, then publish your version.

One of the reasons this business is so popular is because it doesn't require expensive equipment. Most of your startup budget goes toward supplies, branding, and marketing.

This business is a great fit for:

Most companies charge between $15–$35 per visit for standard weekly cleanups, with larger yards and multiple dogs costing more.

Many also offer:

With 100 weekly customers averaging $25 per visit, you're generating around $2,500 each week before expenses. Many established owner-operators grow into $5,000–$15,000+ per month, and larger route-based businesses can earn considerably more.

If I were starting this business today, these are the first things I'd buy.

Choose a durable rake and tray set designed for daily use.

Perfect for carrying your tools from yard to yard.

You'll go through plenty of these, so buying in bulk usually saves money.

A must-have for every cleanup.

Keep your shoes clean while working in different yards.

Keep a bottle in your vehicle for every stop.

Clean your tools between appointments and help prevent the spread of bacteria between properties.

Keeps your supplies neat and easy to grab throughout the day.

An inexpensive way to advertise while driving through neighborhoods.

Offer deodorizing as an additional service for customers who want a fresher-smelling yard.

Leave one behind after every first visit and hand extras to happy customers who want to recommend you.

Helpful when you're navigating between appointments all day.

If I were launching this business tomorrow, here's exactly what I'd focus on first.

Start by making the platform your own.

Update:

Once that's finished, you're ready to start sharing your website.

Keep your services simple in the beginning.

For example:

You can always expand your services later.

Customers shouldn't have to guess what they'll pay.

You might price based on:

The easier your pricing is to understand, the easier it is for someone to book online.

Choose one neighborhood or one side of town to start.

The closer your customers are to one another, the more homes you can visit in a day while spending less on fuel.

As your schedule fills up, expand into nearby neighborhoods.

This business does especially well with local marketing.

I'd start by reaching out in:

A handful of recurring customers can quickly become the foundation of your route.

Once you've built your first route, your focus shifts from finding customers to making each day more efficient.

Group appointments by neighborhood so you're not driving across town between jobs.

Send friendly reminders before each visit, keep notes about gate codes or special instructions, and make it easy for customers to stay on a recurring schedule.

As your route grows, you'll spend less time marketing and more time taking care of the customers you've already earned. Those recurring weekly visits are what make this business so rewarding to build.

P.S. If you remix this platform, I'd genuinely love to see what you build. Reply to this newsletter or tag Launchable online—I always enjoy seeing these ideas come to life in different communities.
