Yard Guards On Doody is a professional pooper scooper business that removes dog poop from individual yards, condominiums, apartment complexes, dog parks, and more.  It was founded in June of 2003 by two “domestic engineers” who figured since they had been taking crap all of their lives, why not get paid for it?!  After a thorough investigation of the business opportunity Cheresee  jumped in and never looked back.  She is one of approximately 700 pooper scooper companies nationwide.

Cleaning a yard varies in time from as little as one minute up to twenty minutes, or more.  You cannot just jump into this job.  There is training involved.  You have to learn to walk the yard in patterns, wear a hat to shield your eyes from the sun, and wear no sunglasses (you can miss the poop wearing sun glasses).  Special tools are used to make the clean up go faster and easier (big red, a poop container, and a customized rake).

Some people think that animal waste is natural fertilizer and can be left to disintegrate itself.  “Not so”, states Cheresee.  “Animal waste is full of parasites and bacteria that can be spread across your yard, into your house, and if not removed can seep into the aquifer.”

Yard Guards On Doody also offers a rotating litter box service for cat owners – perfect for expectant mothers, who should not come into contact or breathe the dust from litter boxes risking getting Toxoplasmosis.

Yard Guards On Doody was Keep Hillsborough County Beautiful, Business Of The Year in 2009, 2008, and was in group of the year in 2007.  The company also gives back to the community by doing a lot of fund raising.  The Cheresee made sure money went to the sheriff’s office so now every dog has a bullet proof vest.  All 44 of the rescue trucks in Hillsborough County are now equipped with a set of 3 animal oxygen masks, designed to let the animal receive 100% of the oxygen should the animal have to be resuscitated.

Cheresee is currently the President of aPaws, The Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists.  aPaws.org is the trade association of professional pooper scoopers.  She has always been an active member, and has previously served as Vice President.

Pricing is very affordable, and a schedule can be set up according to individual needs.  Discounts are available to seniors (age 60+) and to those with assistance dogs.  So, if you have a canine friend and don’t like cleaning up after him/her, you might think about calling in the professionals.
