Pet waste removal
A yard rather than a job site, a visit priced by how many dogs and how big the lot, the gate code and whether the dogs will be out on every stop — and a weekly-scooping page on your website. Daybook speaks scooper.
Pet waste removal is a route trade, and its round is many small yards in an afternoon rather than one long visit. So a new job starts as a recurring plan rather than a one-off, the place is a property and the visit is a visit, and the schedule opens on the map rather than the calendar. Everything below that is this trade’s own: recurring scooping, initial cleanup, one-time cleanup, deodorizing & sanitizing, litter box service and commercial & multi-unit as service types; a property setup sheet, a visit log and a cleanup sign-off as checklists; a starter price list from a one-dog weekly visit to a pet station with its post, sign, dispenser and bin; and a pet waste website your account opens with.
The cleanup is where it earns its keep, because a route that starts on a yard nobody finished starts behind. An initial or one-time cleanup closes on a form of its own: before photos of every area, the areas actually cleared, the bags out, the time on site and who was on it, whether the deodorizer went down, after photos — and one question with a consequence attached, ready for the route? A no means a second cleanup visit before the weekly upkeep starts, and the job will not be marked done until the form is filled in. After that the weekly visit log is short: dogs out or inside, bags out, gate latched, and anything the client needs told.
On top of everything Daybook does for every trade — the full list is here — pet waste removal gets its own tools.
A new job opens as a recurring plan rather than a one-off. Weekly, every two weeks or monthly — and a twice-a-week yard is a weekly plan with two days ticked — after which the schedule fills ninety days forward and tops itself up as each visit is marked done. An initial or a one-time cleanup stays a single visit.
The gate code and the access notes live on the property and show on every job, and when there is nothing on file the job says so and points at the client’s page — because a scooper at a latched gate is the stop this exists to prevent. Your price list even has the line for when it happens: missed access, locked gate or loose dog.
A scooping day is mostly driving, so the schedule opens on the map: every yard numbered in driving order, the day’s total drive time and distance at the top, and the order yours to drag. Let it find the shortest run and it will tell you what the new order saves. The calendar sits one tap behind it.
A property setup sheet with the dogs by name and whether they will be out, the yard size, the areas to scoop, the cadence, the gate code, where the waste goes and whether to text when done; a visit log with the bags out, the gate latched and anything the client should hear — a loose stool, a hole dug, a fence board down; and a cleanup sign-off with before and after photos area by area — attached to the right jobs automatically.
Weekly scooping for one dog, two, three and each one after, twice-weekly and every-other-week visits, acreage yards and the large-yard surcharge, initial and one-time cleanups and the extra hour on a heavy one, yard deodorizer and sanitizer per visit or monthly, patio, turf and dog-run sanitizing, litter boxes by the box, pet stations by the station with their bags by the roll or the case, common-area and dog-park visits, monthly commercial contracts, bags, gloves and disinfectant, waste disposal per visit, travel outside the route and the holiday premium — a labelled starter list on day one, with your own prices on it.
Scoop and visit, route and cadence, initial cleanup and one-time, deodorize and sanitize, litter, pet station, bagged and hauled away — drafts and job summaries use a scooper’s vocabulary, and the auto-classifier knows that a winter of accumulation before a route starts is an initial cleanup, that a party or a showing is a one-time, and that an HOA, a dog park or a property manager is commercial even when it also names a cadence.
This is not copy — it is what the app says to pet waste removal businesses, word for word. Most trades see the left-hand word; you see the right.
Your account starts with a real pet waste removal site template — a weekly-scooping page included, walking a client through a visit step by step — edit it in the app, and the form that asks how many dogs, how big the yard and how often drops the answers into Daybook as a real lead.
Your own stops beat any feature list — put a week of visits in, open the map and see the order the day should have gone in.
