About East Grand Rapids

We're proud to serve East Grand Rapids.

Dog Doody Patrol brings weekly dog poop removal to East Grand Rapids, where the lots are smaller, the lawns are well kept, and the dogs are everywhere, from the Reeds Lake Trail to the sidewalks of Gaslight Village. On a compact yard every pile shows. We scoop weekly, sanitize on request, and send a photo of your closed gate so you can skip the chore and keep the curb appeal.

Why we offer service in East Grand Rapids

East Grand Rapids is a city of about 11,400 people packed into roughly 3.4 square miles, so almost every household is close to a neighbor, a park, or the water. A small yard makes dog waste hard to ignore, and the same patch of lawn gets used every day. Regular scooping keeps the grass green and the yard ready for the family, and a sanitizing treatment handles the bacteria and odor that scooping alone leaves behind.

A little about East Grand Rapids

East Grand Rapids wraps around Reeds Lake, about three miles from downtown Grand Rapids. In the late 1800s and early 1900s the shoreline drew visitors to bathing beaches and to Ramona Park, an amusement park that closed in 1955. Today the lake is the heart of the city, with a 4.2-mile trail around it, John Collins Park on Lakeside Drive, and the Gaslight Village shops and restaurants close by.

Pricing Snapshot

East Grand Rapids pricing and the sanitizing add-on.

Price follows the number of dogs and how often we visit, not the size of your lot. Pair weekly service with the optional yard treatment to cover odor and bacteria as well as the mess.

Initial cleanup fee, $38

Added to your first recurring-service invoice if your yard hasn't been cleaned within the past month. Waived if it has.

Yard sanitizing add-on, $20 per month

Roundworm eggs can survive in soil for years and are not killed by freezing, which is why weekly scooping matters. The treatment goes after odor and bacteria on grass, dirt, and hard surfaces. Learn about sanitizing.

East Grand Rapids FAQ

Common questions about East Grand Rapids service.

If your question isn't here, give us a call, we answer the phone.

Do you serve homes near Reeds Lake and Gaslight Village?

Yes. We schedule routes across East Grand Rapids, including the streets around Reeds Lake, Gaslight Village, and John Collins Park. Add your address to the quote form and we will confirm your route day.

Is yard sanitizing worth adding to weekly service?

Scooping removes the waste, but bacteria and odor can stay behind in the soil. The optional yard treatment is $20 per month with recurring service, and it neutralizes odor and bacteria on grass, dirt, and hard surfaces. It is safe for pets and kids.

What are the health risks of leaving dog waste in a small yard?

Dog waste can carry roundworm, hookworm, giardia, and whipworm. Roundworm eggs can survive in soil for years and are not killed by freezing, and children playing on the grass are most at risk. Our guide to dog waste health risks explains each one in more detail.

How much is weekly service plus sanitizing in East Grand Rapids?

Weekly service starts at $20 per visit for one dog and $25 for two dogs, and the optional yard treatment adds $20 per month. Pricing follows dog count, not lot size.

Do you scoop through the winter near the lake?

Yes. We keep weekly and bi-weekly routes running through the cold months and locate waste under the snow, so spring does not bring a lawn full of buildup.
