Snow and Inclement Weather Policy
In the event of hazardous weather conditions that render yard cleaning unsafe or impossible, we will inform you promptly to reschedule your appointment. Should snow accumulation exceed 3 centimeters within 8 hours prior to your scheduled service, rescheduling will be necessary. Despite this, the regular weekly fee will apply due to the anticipated increased workload in the subsequent week.
If cancellation occurs due to staff illness or other unforeseen circumstances, you will be exempt from payment for that week.
In the event of snow are techs will only scoop what they can see. In some cases, the dog waste me be covered by snow at the time of the visit and the snow may melt uncovering unseen waste. In this instance, techs will scoop on the remaining waste on the next scheduled visit.
Yard Access
As the client, you are responsible for maintaining safe access into and out of the yard. Obstructions or locked gates will still incur the regular fee due to the increased workload on the next visit. Access through homes is not permitted; a garage or gate must be available.
Pet Safety
To ensure safety, pets should be confined away from the service area during visits to prevent any incidents.
Waste Removal Policy
We remove solid waste only. Diarrhea or waste indicating health concerns will not be handled, and clients will be notified to seek veterinary care if necessary. (we may make reasonable attempt to remove when possible at technicians discretion.) All waste will be double bagged and disposed of in trash can at the service property. Doodoo Express does not provide off site waste removal at this time. In the event that a trash bin is not accessible and a tech has to remove waste off the premises, a $6.00 fee will be billed per bag per removal.
Service Area Conditions
Visibility is key to effective cleaning. Areas obscured by overgrowth or debris may not be fully serviced, and clients will be notified of such conditions. (if we can’t see it we can’s scoop it)
Deodorizing and Sanitation Service
- Service Description: DooDoo Express offers an optional add-on service for Deodorizing and Sanitation. This service involves the topical application of an EPA-Registered solution designed to kill certain listed viruses, bacteria, and fungi, and to help control mold and algae on the treated surfaces within the service area.
- Important Limitations – Scope of Service: Customers must be advised that DooDoo Express operates primarily as a pet waste removal (pooper scooper) company. The Deodorizing and Sanitation service is a surface-level treatment and is NOT a deep cleaning service.
- Exclusion of Deep Cleaning: DooDoo Express is NOT a specialized Turf Cleaning Company and does not offer deep cleaning treatments for any type of surface, including but not limited to natural grass, artificial turf, concrete, pavers, decking, or rock beds.
- Equipment Limitations: DooDoo Express does not possess nor utilize the specialized equipment necessary for performing deep cleaning tasks. Such equipment includes, but is not limited to, hot water extractors, high-pressure washers, commercial-grade power brushes, or turf infill replacement machinery. Our service capabilities are limited to pet waste removal and the topical application described in Section [X].1.
- Recommendation for Deep Cleaning Needs: Should your property require deep cleaning, intensive stain removal, odor remediation penetrating below the surface (e.g., within artificial turf infill), or significant surface restoration, DooDoo Express strongly advises seeking the assistance of a dedicated professional turf cleaning company or an appropriate specialized cleaning service.
- Acknowledgement: By opting for the Deodorizing and Sanitation add-on service, the Customer acknowledges they have read, understood, and agreed to these limitations, confirming their understanding that this service is not a substitute for deep cleaning performed by a specialized company.
Initial Service Fee
An Initial Start-Up Fee is required to commence services, covering the initial setup and preparation. This fee may be waived on a case-by-case basis for promotional purposes, subject to individual assessment. However, please note that an Initial Start-Up Fee may be applied regardless of promotional waivers in situations where a yard exhibits significant neglect, requiring extensive initial remediation. Service fee: $75.00
Exclusions
Areas beneath trampolines, within dense underbrush, beneath a porch or behind obstacles posing safety risks are excluded from service.
Rock and Gravel Areas
Due to the nature of rock and gravel surfaces, complete waste removal is often impossible. Our standard service does not include waste removal from these areas. While our technicians may make a reasonable attempt to remove visible waste at their discretion, we cannot guarantee any level of removal. You acknowledge and understand that some, or potentially all, waste may remain due to the difficulty presented by the rocks or gravel.
Service Suspension
A 48-hour notice is required to pause service for credit towards the next month.

1.2. Reinstatement of Services and Potential Fees: Should the Client elect to reinstate or resume services following a period of cancellation or suspension, DooDoo Express reserves the right to assess the condition of the property. If, in the sole discretion of DooDoo Express, the property has not been adequately maintained as per clause 1.1 and requires services beyond the scope of a standard maintenance visit to restore it to a serviceable condition, the Client may be subject to an Initial Service Fee.
1.3. Initial Service Fee: The Initial Service Fee, if applicable, will cover the additional labor, resources, and time required to bring the property back to a condition suitable for regular ongoing service. The amount of this fee will be communicated to the Client prior to the commencement of any restorative work and will be in addition to the standard rates for resumed services. Failure to agree to the Initial Service Fee may result in DooDoo Express's inability to reinstate services.
