About BarkScoop

We're weirdly good at
picking up poop.

We are the local pet waste removal crew, based in Arlington Heights, that shows up every week so you never have to think about the clean up again.

Why we exist

We started BarkScoop on one belief: loving your dog should never mean dreading your own backyard.

Every week a local crew shows up, scoops every corner, latches the gate, and texts you a photo the moment the job is done. No contracts, no chasing, no thinking about it.

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 clean up, 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 Chicago 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 visit 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 Naperville

The same promise carried us out of the city and into the suburbs, from Evanston and Oak Park to Naperville and beyond. Same crew, same standard.

Today

Thousands of yards, zero contracts

We have cleaned over 3,200 yards across Chicagoland, all billed monthly with nothing to sign. The dirty work is ours. The weekend is yours.

What we stand for

Four promises, every single visit

We show up, rain or snow

Chicago weather does not get a vote. We keep your schedule whether it is 90 degrees or a fresh six inches of snow on the lawn.

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

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

We keep it simple

Billed monthly, no contract, cancel or pause anytime. If we ever miss a spot, the re-scoop is always free.

Clean yards today, better days for Chicago's dogs

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

  • Monthly giving to local Chicago dog shelters and rescues
  • Free waste removal for partner foster homes and adoption events
  • Crew volunteer days at shelters across Chicagoland
