We’re the Knox family—a lively crew of six with three energetic boys, one sweet girl, and a shared love for dogs and community. Based in beautiful Butte County, we’re passionate about giving back to the place we call home by offering a service that makes life easier, cleaner, and more enjoyable for local families.

With a background in engineering and project management, and a strong foundation in healthcare through my wife’s work, we understand both the importance of efficiency and the value of a healthy, hygienic environment—especially for families with kids and pets.

As dog owners ourselves, we know that cleaning up after your pet is the least enjoyable part of pet ownership. That’s why we started this business: to eliminate the mess, odor, and health risks of pet waste—so you can focus on all the wonderful parts of life with your furry companion.

Our mission is simple:
To give families back their time and provide clean, odor-free yards to enjoy with the people (and pets) they love.

We don’t just scoop—we sanitize. Using safe, non-toxic disinfectants that are dog-friendly and yard-safe, we remove harmful pathogens from your outdoor space so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your family is protected.

We also haul the waste away, so you’re not left dealing with a smelly trash can.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to quality service and community well-being. We’re proud to help our neighbors maintain cleaner, healthier homes—one yard at a time.

Let us take care of the worst part of dog ownership, so you can enjoy the best.

The Importance of Professional Waste Removal:

It’s the service you didn’t know you need.

  • Why Dog Waste Is More Than Just a Mess
    Leaving pet waste in your yard isn’t just unpleasant—it’s a real health hazard for your dog and your home.

    🐾 Pathogens
    Dog waste can carry harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, which may cause serious illness if ingested.

    🐛 Parasites
    Feces can harbor roundworms, hookworms, and giardia—parasites that infect dogs through contact or ingestion.

    🍄 Toxic Mold & Fungi
    The moisture and nutrients in waste promote mold and fungal growth, which can release airborne spores into your yard.

    🐀 Rodents
    Leftover waste attracts rats and other rodents, which bring disease and damage your lawn.

  • When Waste Stays Outside, It Comes Inside
    Leftover dog waste doesn’t just stay in the yard—it can be tracked into your home, creating serious health risks for your family.

    🦠 E. coli & Salmonella
    Dog feces can carry harmful bacteria that cause food poisoning and other illnesses in humans.

    🐾 Parvovirus
    A highly contagious virus that survives on surfaces and puts dogs and young children at risk.

    🪱 Roundworms & Hookworms
    These parasites can infect humans—especially children—through skin contact or accidental ingestion.

    🤧 Allergic Reactions
    For those with sensitivities, dog waste can trigger allergic symptoms and respiratory issues.

    👃 Lingering Odors
    Tracked-in waste creates smells that can linger, making your home uncomfortable.

  • Your Dog’s Waste Doesn’t Just Disappear—It Impacts Us All
    Responsible pet waste removal is about more than a clean yard—it’s about protecting the health and safety of the community we all share.

    🌊 Clean Waterways
    Dog waste left on lawns or streets can be washed into storm drains by rain, flowing into rivers, streams—even beaches. This spreads harmful bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli, and contributes to toxic algae blooms that harm aquatic life and make people and pets sick.

    🌬️ Clean Air
    In dry or windy conditions, bacteria from dog waste can become airborne—posing risks to those with allergies or respiratory conditions.

    ⚠️ Hazardous Waste Warning
    The EPA classifies dog waste as hazardous—it contains dangerous pathogens and should never be treated like harmless litter or fertilizer.Clean Waterways: Pet waste left on the street or lawn doesn’t just go away or fertilize the grass. Rain washes pet waste down storm drains and into waterways like rivers, streams, and event to beaches. This can make people sick from salmonella, E. coli, and other infections. Pet waste also provides a nitrogen source for toxic algae blooms, which deplete bodies of water of oxygen and can make people & animals sick.

    • Clean Air: Dog waste can release bacteria into the air, particularly in dry, windy conditions. This can pose health risks, especially for people with respiratory issues.

  • Dog Waste Doesn’t Just Disappear—It Damages Your Lawn
    Leaving pet waste on your lawn can cause more harm than you think. Here’s what can happen:

    🌱 Nitrogen Burn
    Dog waste is high in nitrogen. Too much can "burn" your grass, leaving brown, dead patches behind.

    🟤 Spotty, Uneven Lawn
    Waste affects the area around it, creating a patchy and unattractive yard.

    🍄 Fungal Growth
    The moisture in dog waste creates the perfect environment for mold and fungus to grow—and spread.

    ⚠️ Disease & Lawn Damage
    Fungal spores can spread disease and damage the rest of your lawn over time.

    👀 It’s an Eyesore
    No one wants to look at (or smell) waste sitting in the yard—it ruins the look of your outdoor space.

    🐀 Attracts Pests & Rodents
    Pet waste draws in flies, insects, and rodents that can destroy grass and even nest in your lawn.
