Job description

Canine Cleanup Specialist (Team-Based Outdoor Role)

About the Role

As a Canine Cleanup Specialist, you'll work alongside a teammate each day to service a scheduled route of residential properties. You'll remove dog waste, follow our structured service procedures, and document each visit using our mobile app.

Because you'll spend much of your day working alongside the same teammate, strong communication, reliability, and mutual respect are essential to success.

This is a physically active, outdoor position that requires attention to detail, personal accountability, and a commitment to doing quality work every day.

Schedule & Availability

• Approximately four weekdays per week
• Typical hours are approximately 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
• Consistent availability during scheduled weekday shifts is required
• This position is ideal for someone looking for a dependable daytime schedule with evenings and weekends generally free

Key Responsibilities

Thorough Yard Cleanup

• Perform detailed dog waste removal using our structured grid pattern
• Check all areas of each property to ensure nothing is missed
• Leave every yard clean, safe, and ready for families and pets to enjoy

Sanitation & Safety

• Follow all sanitation and safety procedures
• Properly clean and handle equipment
• Maintain a clean, professional work environment for clients, teammates, and yourself

Teamwork

• Work closely with your teammate throughout the day
• Communicate effectively and respectfully
• Help one another stay efficient while maintaining quality
• Support your teammate when needed

Route Execution

• Follow a pre-planned daily route
• Safely operate a company vehicle when assigned
• Arrive on time and complete each day's route professionally

Client Care

• Represent Pooptopia professionally on every property
• Treat every client's home with care and respect
• Communicate courteously if interacting with clients

Technology & Documentation

• Use a smartphone app to complete visit notes
• Document important observations
• Take required photos
• Communicate route updates when necessary

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who:

• Enjoys seeing immediate, tangible results from their work
• Takes pride in doing a job thoroughly and correctly
• Notices details that others often overlook
• Communicates openly and respectfully
• Values consistency, reliability, and accountability
• Appreciates structure and a predictable routine
• Works well as part of a two-person team
• Is comfortable working outdoors in a variety of weather conditions
• Can lift and carry at least 30 pounds throughout the day
• Has a valid driver's license
• Is comfortable using a smartphone for work-related tasks

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who naturally cares about doing quality work—not because someone is watching, but because that's simply who they are.

Our Culture

At Pooptopia, we believe doing the job right is more important than simply getting it done quickly.

Our clients trust us with their homes, their pets, and their time. We take that responsibility seriously.

We value teammates who:

• Show up when they're scheduled.
• Communicate early if something unexpected happens.
• Support and respect their teammates.
• Take ownership when mistakes occur.
• Look for solutions instead of excuses.
• Leave every property better than they found it.

Sometimes that means taking one last walk around the yard before leaving. Other times it may mean bringing in an empty trash can or picking up a piece of litter while you're already there. Those small, thoughtful moments aren't required—but they reflect the level of care that makes Pooptopia different.

Qualifications

• High school student, high school graduate, or equivalent
• Previous customer service, outdoor work, cleaning, landscaping, or labor experience is helpful but not required

We believe character, work ethic, and communication are far more important than previous experience. We can teach our process—we can't teach someone to genuinely care about doing a great job.

Compensation & Additional Earnings

• Competitive hourly pay based on performance and reliability
• Additional pay for qualifying initial cleanups
• Client referral bonus opportunities
• Opportunities for increased responsibility as Pooptopia continues to grow

What We Provide

• Company vehicle for route work
• All tools, equipment, and supplies
• Pooptopia uniform shirt
• Paid training
• A supportive team environment focused on helping one another succeed

Why Join Pooptopia?

• Enjoy a consistent weekday schedule with evenings and weekends generally free
• Work outdoors instead of being inside all day
• Be part of a small, supportive team that values quality over rushing
• Experience the satisfaction of seeing the results of your work every day
• Build meaningful relationships with clients and their dogs
• Join a growing local business where your work truly makes a difference

If you're someone who enjoys checking tasks off your list, appreciates visible results, takes pride in helping others, and wants to be part of a dependable team, we'd love to hear from you.
