Reliable dog waste removal and yard deodorizing for North River Ranch families — so your weekends are for the Greenway and the pool, not the cleanup.
Hi — we’re Max and Emily, the husband-and-wife team behind Pets & Properties, and we live right here in Parrish. North River Ranch is one of our favorite communities to serve — and one of our busiest. We know the Greenway and the tree-canopied streets of Brightwood, the families
packed into Riverfield and Crescent Creek, and the dogs that practically run Dash’s Bark Park. We also know what the Florida sun and humidity do to a yard that’s gone a week without a cleanup.
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 yard type across North River Ranch’s neighborhoods — natural turf,
artificial grass, pavers, and mulch — for:
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.
We keep prices low for everyone by serving each Lakewood Ranch village on set route days. Rather than asking you to pick a day, we assign your visit to the day we’re already in your community — 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.
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. A real plus for the smaller, close-together yards common in new-construction North River Ranch.
North River Ranch is built around shared green space — amenity lawns, pocket parks, the Greenway, and dog parks like Dash’s Bark Park. We’re a trusted partner for HOAs, community associations, and property managers who want those shared spaces kept clean and healthy. Our commercial service covers:
• Community common areas and amenity green spaces
• Dog parks and pet relief areas
• Trail and Greenway perimeters and playground areas
• 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.
