Why we exist

The love of dogs brought us here. The poop keeps us busy.

We started BarkScoop for the same reason you are reading this. What nobody warns you about is the poop.

Every week BarkScoop shows up, scoops every corner, latches the gate, and texts you a photo the moment the job is done. No contracts, no chasing. Just a clean yard and a weekend that is finally yours.

Our story

Follow the trail from one backyard to a Chicago crew

From one fed-up dog owner to a full Chicago crew, here is how the trail unfolded.

The spark

One yard, one fed-up dog owner

It began with a single frustration every dog owner knows. You love the dog, you do not love the cleanup, and somehow the yard always wins by Friday.

First routes

Neighbors started asking

Word travelled fast down the block. We built tidy weekly routes across our own Chicagoland neighborhood, scooping every corner and latching every gate on the way out.

Photo proof

The "Done!" text was born

People wanted to know the job was actually finished. So every cleanup now ends with a gate-latch photo and a text the moment we leave. No wondering, no chasing.

Into the suburbs

From Lincoln Park to Barrington

The same promise carried us out of the city and into the Chicago suburbs. Same crew, same standard.

Today

Yards cleaned. No contracts.

We have cleaned over 1,200 yards across the Chicagoland area. The dirty work is ours. The weekend is yours.

What we stand for

Four promises, every single cleanup

Rain or shine, we’ve got you covered

We’ll keep your yard on schedule whenever conditions are safe. If the weather gets seriously nasty, we’ll keep you posted.

We prove the job is done

A gate-latch photo and a "Done!" text land the moment we finish, so you never have to walk the yard to check our work.

We are your neighbors

Born and based in the Chicagoland area. The crew cleaning your yard lives and works in the same towns you do.

We keep it simple

Billed monthly, no contract, cancel anytime. If we ever miss something, tell us within 24 hours and we will make it right.

Cleaner yards, happier dogs

Scooping pays the bills, but the dogs are why we started. A slice of every route goes straight back into a local canine rescue community in the Chicago area.

  • Monthly giving to local Chicago dog shelters and rescues
  • Free waste removal for partner foster homes and adoption events

The best part of a dog is the time you spend together. We guard that time.
