Most leases put yard upkeep on the tenant, and dog waste usually gets lumped in with that, but enforcement is inconsistent and the financial risk lands on the property owner either way through deposit disputes, slower re-rents, and rush cleanups before a showing.
Day to day, pet waste cleanup is the tenant’s responsibility under most Chattanooga-area leases, the same way mowing or trash removal usually is. The problem is enforcement: a property manager juggling multiple units rarely has time to check every yard weekly, and the risk still sits with the owner through deposit disputes, slower re-rents, and how the property shows in photos.
Waste left on a lawn burns the grass and damages the soil underneath it. Uncleaned yards are also a common source of HOA violation notices and neighbor complaints, and they show up clearly in move-out and listing photos.
Scoopy Doo services single rentals and full portfolios the same no-contact way it services any other yard: gate access is used to enter, the yard is scooped, the gate is closed and secured, and the account holder gets a gate photo and on-the-way text for every visit, which doubles as documentation the yard was maintained. Multiple properties can be billed under one account, each on its own schedule.
Weekly service starts at $20 per visit for one dog, twice-weekly is $18 per visit, and bi-weekly is $33 per visit. A one-time turnover cleanup starts at $85 and is the option most landlords use to reset a yard between tenants. There are no contracts, and portfolio pricing is available for owners with multiple properties.
Scoopy Doo services rental properties throughout Chattanooga, Hixson, Ooltewah, East Brainerd, Red Bank, East Ridge, Signal Mountain, Lookout Mountain, Soddy-Daisy, Collegedale, and Apison in Tennessee, plus Ringgold, Rossville, Fort Oglethorpe, and Flintstone in North Georgia.
