When it comes to keeping your yard clean and safe, pet waste removal isn’t just about convenience — it’s about consistency. At Pet Butler, we know every pet owner’s routine is different. That’s why our scheduling options are designed with flexibility in mind, making it easier than ever to stay on top of yard cleanup without the stress.
Whether you need weekly visits, seasonal cleanups, or a one-time scoop before a big event, our goal is to provide a service that works around your lifestyle, not the other way around.
Why Scheduling Matters in Pet Waste Removal
Pet waste is more than a nuisance. Left on the ground, it can harm your lawn, attract pests, and spread bacteria and parasites. According to the CDC, dog waste is a significant source of harmful pathogens that can make both pets and people sick. Regular removal helps protect your family, your pets, and your yard.
That’s where scheduling comes in. A consistent service plan ensures that your lawn stays clean, odor-free, and safe for playtime. By tailoring your pickup schedule to your household’s needs, Pet Butler helps you maintain a healthier and more enjoyable outdoor space.
How Scheduling Works at Pet Butler
To make sure every yard gets reliable service, each zip code is assigned a regular service day. When you sign up, our system automatically shows you what day we service your area, so you’ll know exactly when to expect us.
Most new customers are scheduled for their first visit on their next available service day — for example, if your zip code is serviced on Fridays and you sign up on Monday, your first visit would be that same Friday.
If you need service sooner, our Call Center team (1-800-PET-BUTLER) will do their best to check with local Field Operators to see if an earlier visit is possible. While this isn’t always guaranteed, we’ll always try to find a solution that works for you.
Flexible Scheduling to Fit Every Lifestyle
No two pet owners are the same, so why should your service be? At Pet Butler, you can choose the schedule that works best for you:
- Twice-a-week service – Ideal for households with multiple dogs or busy yards.
- Weekly service – Our most popular choice, ensuring consistent maintenance.
- Bi-weekly or monthly service – For smaller households or budget-conscious schedules.
Our services offer true flexibility—you can start, stop, or adjust your service whenever you like, with no long-term contracts required. And of course, if your needs change—like welcoming a new puppy or adjusting travel plans—you can modify your schedule with ease.
One-Time Cleanups: Season, Special Occasions and More!
While many pet owners prefer the consistency of scheduled service, sometimes all you need is a one-time pet waste cleanup. At Pet Butler, our one-time offering is designed to give you flexibility when life doesn’t follow a routine.
One-time cleanups are perfect for:
- Seasonal refreshes – After a long winter or before the heat of summer, a one-time visit helps reset your yard for the season ahead.
- Special occasions – Hosting a barbecue, graduation, birthday, or even a wedding in your backyard? We’ll handle the waste removal so you can focus on entertaining.
- Real estate showings – First impressions matter. A spotless lawn makes your property more appealing to buyers.
- Post-vacation returns – Coming home to days or weeks of waste can be overwhelming. A one-time scoop takes the stress away.
- Quick-turnaround needs – While we don’t offer traditional “on-demand” service, many Pet Butler locations can provide cleanups within “X” hours, depending on technician availability. Think of it as “on-demand” peace of mind, with transparent scheduling.
With a one-time poop scoop, you get the same thorough, professional service as our recurring plans—just without the ongoing commitment. It’s a flexible solution that works around your lifestyle, whenever you need it.

FAQs About Scheduling Pet Waste Removal
How flexible is scheduling?
Very! Pet Butler offers weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or custom schedules, depending on what works best for you. Our system automatically assigns you to a service day based on your zip code, and you can pause or adjust service as your needs change.
Do I need to be home during service?
Nope! As long as your yard is accessible, our technicians can complete your service whether you’re home or away. Many customers love this convenience — it’s one less thing to worry about.
Can I change my schedule later?
Absolutely. If you ever need to move or skip a service, just give us a call at 800-PET-BUTLER at least 48 hours in advance. Whether you’re heading out on vacation or your pup won’t be around, we’ll gladly pause your service. We’ll return on your next scheduled visit—or whenever you let us know you’re ready to resume.
What if I need a last-minute cleanup?
Because service is routed by zip code, same-day or 24-hour turnaround is not standard. If you sign up mid-week, your first cleanup will typically occur on your assigned service day (e.g., sign up Monday, service Friday). In some cases, the call center may be able to check with field operators to see if an earlier cleanup is possible, but this depends on technician availability.

A cleaner yard isn’t just nicer — it’s healthier for your pets, your family, and the environment. With Pet Butler’s flexible scheduling options, you can choose between consistent weekly visits or one-time cleanups that fit your lifestyle.
From seasonal refreshes to routine maintenance, Pet Butler makes it easy to enjoy your outdoor space — without the mess.
Because a clean yard means more time for what matters most: enjoying life with your pets.
