Pet Waste Removal Software That Starts Free
Pooper Scoop HQ is pooper scooper software for pet waste removal businesses. It handles recurring yard visits, daily routes, technician schedules, a client portal and invoicing. It was built by a scooper, and the base plan is free.
Start free, no credit cardSee every featureWhy pooper scooper companies need their own software
Most field service software was built for plumbers, HVAC techs and cleaners. Those jobs are one-off appointments. A scooping company runs on repeat work: the same yards every week or every other week, built into routes, with a pile of small details like which gate code, which dog stays inside, and which customers pause for winter.
Pet waste removal software should treat that recurring route as the core of the business. In Pooper Scoop HQ, the recurring job comes first. You set up a yard once, choose its frequency, and the visits, route and invoices follow from it.
What you can do with Pooper Scoop HQ
Recurring jobs
Create weekly, bi-weekly or custom-frequency jobs with start dates, assigned technicians, locations, line items and notes.
Route optimization
See every stop on a map, optimize the order to cut drive time, and catch missing or duplicate addresses before the day starts.
Dispatch board
View every technician's schedule and upcoming visits in one calendar, and move work around when someone calls out.
Technician app
Scoopers get a date-based schedule on their phone with visit details, directions, check-in/check-out and completion.
Client portal
Customers can see their visits, service history and invoices, and pay online, which cuts down on "did you come today?" texts.
Invoicing and payments
Send itemized invoices with due dates and collect card payments through Stripe or Square.

Pricing that a one-truck company can afford
A lot of pet waste removal software charges per technician, so the bill goes up every time you hire. Pooper Scoop HQ has two plans:
- Free – $0/month: unlimited jobs, full job management, client portal, team management.
- Growth – $9.99/month after a 15-day free trial: everything in Free plus route optimization and online invoice payments.
For comparison, Sweep & Go lists plans at $15–$59 per active staff member per month, and Jobber starts at $29/month billed annually. See the full pricing comparison →
Who it's for
- New scoopers with their first 5–50 yards who want to stop running the business from a notes app and a spreadsheet.
- Growing companies adding a second or third technician and needing dispatch, routes and accountability.
- Operators leaving general tools like Jobber or Housecall Pro who want something built for recurring dog waste routes, at a lower monthly cost.

Frequently asked questions
What is pet waste removal software?
Pet waste removal software is a scheduling, routing and billing system built for pooper scooper companies. It keeps track of recurring weekly or bi-weekly yards, builds each day's route, gives technicians their stops on a phone, and invoices customers without spreadsheets.
Is there free pooper scooper software?
Yes. Pooper Scoop HQ has a Free plan at $0/month with unlimited jobs, recurring scheduling, a client portal and team management. The Growth plan adds route optimization and online invoice payments for $9.99/month after a 15-day trial.
Do I need special software or can I use Jobber or a spreadsheet?
A spreadsheet works for your first handful of yards. Past that, recurring visits, skipped weeks, gate notes and billing get hard to keep straight. General field service tools like Jobber can handle a scooping business, but they are built for many trades and usually cost more per month.
Does Pooper Scoop HQ work on a phone?
Yes. Pooper Scoop HQ runs in the browser on iPhone and Android, so technicians can see their schedule, open directions, check in and out, and complete visits from the yard.
