I am thinking that 2x's per day, 7 days per week is a bit too frequent to be picking it up. I would say that 2x's per week would be a good amount. I would say 2x's per week pick up and charge $10.00/week. This way you could get more customers.

I'd pay $10-20 (per week) for once a day clean up. You don't need to come twice a day.
We pick up the yard every day. It take us about 5-10 minutes even with 5 dogs. Not a big deal.
It's a good business idea though. You don't need much in the way of equipment and plenty of people WOULD pay you to do it.

That's pretty frequent for the average pet owner. Maybe every other day at $10 a week would be more competetive. Check pricing in your area and go from that. It's a good idea to offer a deal to your customers with many dogs that would need a frequent cleanup service.

I would price this service at $15 per week for once a day for one or two dogs. If they have more than two dogs charge more. I don't think you would have time for many clients before school. You would have to arrange for a backup scooper in case you are sick or for when your family goes on vacation. Before you start this business, you will have to arrange a place to dispose of what you pick up. I hope you can make it work. I like seeing kids earn their own money.

I wouldn't with my small dog, but I'm sure my mother would for her Bull Terrier. His is massive and it's all over the place. My mom doesn't always have the time to get to it. People who work a lot or have lazy kids who won't clean it up will pay that.
Ps: I'm not one of those lazy kids. I'm 25 so I don't live with my mom anymore. I do clean up my own puppies pooh though.

I would say 1 time a day is enough. Two times a day is too much for people who only have one dog.
You will be wasting too much gas money and time going 2 times a day.
I would say $20 for 3 or 4 times a week unless they have several dogs.

I wouldn't, but I'm sure there are several others who would. In fact I remember seeing a company advertised in the Yellow Pages somewhere that did this very thing.

well not really i would only pay 10$ because i only have one dog! (2 sometimes)
but this really isn't a problem for me though!
I think you should probably charge by size of yard and number of dogs.

Personally no but that is because I pick up each & every time they go but it is a good idea and there is a place around me that does the name of their company is Pooper Scoopers
