Terms of Service

Please read before agreeing to our services

Please read the following Terms of Service carefully before you agree to dog waste removal services from Dog Doody Patrol.

TERMS OF SERVICE

Dog Doody Patrol ("DDP," "our," "we,") is an independently owned and operated business that provides pet-waste removal services to residences, businesses, and commercial properties. The Client agrees to the following Terms that govern the sales and services provided by Dog Doody Patrol. The Client is bound to these Terms by accepting the Services Dog Doody Patrol is hired for and as further outlined below. The Client understands that Dog Doody Patrol's ability to provide Services can be dependent on: access to the yard, and grass length, which is the responsibility of the Client, weather, and other unpredictable outdoor influences.

DOG WASTE REMOVAL SERVICE

Dog Doody Patrol offers residential and commercial pet waste removal services. These services include One Time Clean, Weekly Cleaning, Every Other Week Cleaning, Monthly and Seasonal Cleaning (Spring Cleans). We also provide sanitizing/deodorizing treatments for your yard. All pricing is based on an area size of approximately 4500 square ft. Larger areas will have an additional charge.

ACCESSING THE CLIENT'S YARD

The Client understands that if Dog Doody Patrol can't access the service area due to locked/blocked/frozen gates or dogs in the yard, service for that day will be skipped, and charges will still apply. Dog Doody Patrol suggests adding gate combinations or lock keys to the Client file to avoid locked gates. A $7.00 driving fee will be added to the Client's bill if Dog Doody Patrol must make a repeat visit and return to the house for agreed-upon services unable to be initially rendered.

WEATHER POLICY

Dog Doody Patrol will work through the rain and cold as long as it is safe and reasonably possible. Please be advised that we cannot work through extreme weather, including but not limited to: severe thunderstorms, high winds, extreme high or low temperatures, flooding, and/or accumulation of snow.

DDP operates as a month-to-month subscription service. Refunds are not offered for missed weeks due to weather. However, in such cases, if service is canceled for the week, a $7 trip charge will be credited to the next month's service fees. DDP will account for twice the amount of pet waste during the following visit (see BILLING section for further details on our weather contingency clause for weekly billing).

Additionally, if the yard is muddy or other unreasonable scooping conditions exist, service may be postponed until the next scheduled visit to avoid damaging the Client's yard.

HOLIDAYS

Dog Doody Patrol does not provide services on the following holidays: Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day. If the scheduled pick-up day falls on one of these days and we are unable to make up a client's scoop day, DDP will skip service for that week, resume pick-up the following week, and credit the $7 trip charge for that week.

BILLING

One Time Cleans and First/Initial cleans will be due upon completion of service. Dog Doody Patrol will turn the Client's account over to collections if payment becomes more than 30 days late.

The billing cycle for recurring services begins on the initial day of service provision and recurs monthly on the same calendar day. If the Client's card is declined, services will be discontinued immediately until the issue is resolved. If payment for One Time Cleans and First/Initial cleans is more than 30 days late, Dog Doody Patrol will turn the Client's account over to collections.

If more than 30 days have passed since the last scheduled clean-up, the Client will be billed for a first-time or initial clean-up. DDP will only pause service for periods of 30 days. If service does not resume after the 30-day period, the Client will be removed from the schedule.

In the event of a cancellation due to inclement weather conditions and the customer is on a weekly payment plan, the subsequent service will accommodate the additional waste accumulated during the skipped service. The charge for the next service will be adjusted to reflect the waste from the canceled service, with a deduction of $7 designated as a trip charge. This adjustment ensures fair pricing while addressing the impact of weather-related disruptions on the regular service schedule.

LEAVES, DEBRIS, AND TALL GRASS

Dog Doody Patrol's mission is to leave the Client's yard as poop-free as possible. Our Clients can always count on us to clean your yard to the best of our ability. DDP understands that yard maintenance may not always be easy to keep up with.

Please be advised that finding dog poop in tall grass or a yard full of leaves or other debris can be challenging and may be missed in these circumstances. If the grass is tall during DDP's scheduled visit, dog waste can be missed. However, upon DDP's return for the next scheduled visit, any missed waste will be collected, assuming the yard has since been maintained.

Please inform DDP as soon as possible if an excessive amount of pet waste is missed by emailing: dogdoodypatrol@gmail.com.
