The Hard Truth About Running a Pooper Scooper Business


Hey Reader , Tony here! 👋🏼

I’m just going to be real with you—running a pooper scooper business is NOT easy.

A lot of people get into this industry thinking it’s simple: just show up, scoop dog poop, and collect your money. But if you’ve been in business for any amount of time, you already know it’s so much more than that.

When you’re a solo operator, you wear every hat in the business.

👉 Marketing? You have to figure out how to get customers. Facebook ads, SEO, door hangers, referrals—if you’re not constantly getting your name out there, your business won’t grow.
👉 Sales? When a potential customer reaches out, you need to know how to close the deal. If you’re slow to respond or can’t effectively communicate your value, they’ll move on to the next company.
👉 Customer Service? People will have questions. Some will want to reschedule last minute, others will have complaints, and a few will disappear when it’s time to pay. How you handle these situations determines whether you build a loyal customer base—or get burned out.
👉 Operations? Route planning, pricing, waste disposal, equipment maintenance—you have to run the business efficiently while still getting the work done every single day.

And that’s just the beginning.

The Hard Truth About Running a Business

If this is your first time being a business owner, welcome to the biggest personal development journey of your life.

You will:
🚧 Face rejection from people who don’t take your business seriously.
⏳ Work long hours while trying to grow and maintain your customer base.
😰 Experience self-doubt when things don’t go as planned.

But you’ll also:
💰 Gain financial freedom by building something YOU own.
🐕 Help people who truly appreciate your services.
🚀 Become a better business owner, marketer, and leader.

I say all of this not to scare you, but to prepare you. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone—I’ve been there, and so has every other successful pooper scooper.
