Reliable dog waste removal and yard deodorizing for Ellenton’s established neighborhoods — so you can enjoy that Old Florida backyard without the cleanup.
Hi — we’re Max and Emily, the husband-and-wife team behind Pets & Properties, based just up US-301 in Parrish. We love Ellenton’s Old Florida character — the mature oaks, the established riverfront neighborhoods, the easy pace that’s held on even as the rest of the area booms. We also know what the Florida sun and humidity do to a yard that’s gone a week without a cleanup,
especially under all that shade.
So we built a local service that handles it for you — reliably, respectfully, and with a standard of care you’ll feel from the very first visit. Sometimes people call it a pooper scooper or dog poop pickup service. We just call it taking care of it.
real coverage on every visit
trusted, vetted people
veterinary-grade biosecurity
your neighbors, not a franchise
You love your dog. The cleanup, less so — especially in Florida’s heat, humidity, and afternoon downpours. We handle it for you and keep your yard consistently clean, fresh, and ready to enjoy. We service every kind of property in Ellenton — from established single-family homes
with mature, shaded yards to villas, condos, and 55+ communities — on any surface, including natural turf, artificial grass, pavers, and mulch:
Our recommended standard. In Florida’s climate, weekly service
keeps odor, bacteria, and pests from ever getting ahead. Right for nearly every household
Ideal for multi-dog homes or heavily used yards that need a little extra
A good fit for lighter-use yards, single-dog homes, or seasonal residents who just want a regular reset.
Moving in or out, hosting guests, or back from a trip to a neglected yard? We’ll reset it to fresh.
Sign up for any recurring service in Ellenton and your first cleanup is completely on us. It’s our way of saying welcome and letting you experience the difference before you pay a cent. No hidden fees, no catches, no contracts — just a clean start from day one.
We keep prices low for everyone by serving each Ellenton neighborhood on set route days. Rather than asking you to pick a day, we assign your visit to the day we’re already in your area — think of it like your garbage service, which comes on the same day for the whole street, not whenever each house calls. It keeps our routes efficient, it’s better for the environment, and it lets us pass the savings straight to you. And you’re never left guessing: we send a 30-minute heads-up
text before we arrive.
A service that travels yard to yard can carry more than mud. So after every single visit, we disinfect our tools and boots with a veterinary-grade disinfectant proven effective against tough canine viruses — including canine parvovirus and canine influenza — to prevent crosscontamination between properties. Nothing from another yard ever comes into yours. And when we finish, we send you a photo of your closed and locked gate, so you always know it’s safe for your dog to head back out.
Manage everything from our Client Portal: check your schedule, view billing, and update your account anytime. And there are no contracts here, ever — pause or cancel whenever you like. We earn your business with quality, not fine print.
Scooping removes what you can see — but it can’t touch what’s left behind. Even careful cleanup leaves residue in the grass, and you simply can’t rake away bacteria or the smell of urine soaked into the lawn. In Ellenton’s shaded, established yards, that damp, mature turf can hold odor even longer.
That’s where our yard sanitizing & deodorizing treatment comes in: a natural, plant-based spray that neutralizes odor at the source, breaks down the unseen leftovers scooping misses, and knocks back lingering bacteria. Safe for your pets, kids, and lawn — the perfect finishing touch
for a yard that’s genuinely fresh, not just picked up.
We’re also a trusted partner for Ellenton’s HOAs, 55+ and retirement communities, apartment and condo associations, and property managers who want clean, healthy shared spaces. Our commercial service covers:
• Community common areas and green spaces
• Dog parks and pet relief areas
• Walking paths and shared lawns
• Landscaper coordination — we time our visits before your mowing crew so waste is never mowed over or tracked around
Whether it’s a one-time event cleanup or an ongoing plan, we tailor service to your property.

Ellenton has held onto its Old Florida soul — the Manatee River, the moss-draped oaks, the historic Gamble Plantation, and quiet established streets just minutes from the Outlets and I-75. It’s the kind of place where a shaded backyard should be a retreat, not a chore. Whether you’re in
a longtime family home, a riverfront property, or one of Ellenton’s many 55+ communities, we keep your yard clean so you can simply enjoy it.
If you’ve ever had a barefoot surprise in your own backyard, we’ve been there — and we built
this business so you don’t have to deal with it again. We’re not a national franchise; we’re your
neighbors, raising our family right up the road in Parrish.
