The Real Story Behind TC Dog Waste Removal

TC Dog Waste Removal didn’t start in a boardroom. It didn’t begin with investors, a marketing team, or a five-year business plan. It started in the sweltering Arizona summer of 2021—with two broke high schoolers and a $25 car wash kit from Walmart.

We were just a couple of teenagers trying to make enough money to buy some new clothes and maybe upgrade our phones before school started again. Without much to lose, we went door to door washing cars in 110° heat. It was hard work, but we kept grinding.

Then one day, someone asked us a question that would completely change the trajectory of our lives:

“Hey, can you pick up dog poop too?”

We looked at each other and said, “Why not?”

Turns out, scooping poop paid better than scrubbing tires—and it didn’t take much to get started. A box of trash bags and a willingness to sweat was all we needed. After that first job, we put out a post in a neighborhood group, and people started reaching out. A lot of people.

That’s when we realized: this wasn’t just a one-off job. This was a real need that no one wanted to deal with—and we were more than willing to take it on.

Fast forward to today: TC Dog Waste Removal LLC was officially founded in January 2023 in San Tan Valley, Arizona. What started with two kids and a shovel has grown into a legitimate business with a full team, a growing fleet of branded service vehicles, and more than 250 happy clients across the Valley.

We’re still the same hardworking guys who started this thing in the heat of summer—but now, we’re building something bigger. A company built on consistency, reliability, and customer care. A company that started with hustle and heart—and still runs on it every day.

At TC Dog Waste Removal, we’re not just cleaning yards—we’re building a cleaner, easier life for pet owners across Arizona.

Let us handle the dirty work—because your time is worth more.

Still Thinking About it...?

HOW DOES BILLING WORK?

We bill on the 1st of every month for all recurring services. A card must be on file to keep services active. If you start mid-month, we’ll prorate your first invoice.

For one-time cleanups, we bill $45 before your visit as a flat fee to cover the first 45 minutes of the cleanup. This must be paid before arrival. If the cleanup takes 45 minutes or less, you will not be charged anything extra after the visit. If it takes longer than 45 minutes, we will send an invoice after the visit for the additional time.

CAN MY DOG(S) BE OUTSIDE WHILE YOU’RE SERVICING MY YARD?

For safety, we require aggressive pets be brought inside during service. If your dog is non-aggressive, they can be in the yard. We love meeting new friends!

IT’S GETTING LATE, ARE YOU STILL COMING?

Yes! Our routes run throughout the day and early evening. If we’re running behind, we’ll still show up unless you hear otherwise.

WHAT IF I NEED TO RESCHEDULE?

You can reschedule or make any edits to your service day through our customer portal here:

Same-day reschedules may not be possible depending on your area and route availability.

DO I NEED TO BE HOME?

Nope! As long as your gate is unlocked, we’ll service your yard and send a gate-closure photo after the visit.
