Starting a pooper scooper service may seem like a very strange business venture, however, it is a service that is seeing an increased demand as people are spending more time working and stuck commuter traffic. Quite simply, there just isn't enough time in the day to take care of everything. Not only that, but picking up after their dog probably doesn't top the list of enjoyable tasks.
The key to making money in this business is to establish a reliable route. The more tightly you can group your customers together, the more money you're going to make. Ideally, you should stay within one tight geographical area each day.
Getting into this business doesn't require a lot of money or any particular skills. Get some plastic bags, disposable gloves, shovels, and rakes, and you are now an official pooper scooper.
To get your initial supply of customers, you can flyer residential neighborhoods, post your business card in the local pet shop, or simply mention your services to your veterinarian. After you've been doing this for a while, the need to market your services should diminish. Most of your customers are going to be regulars and any new ones you get will likely be word-of-mouth. Alternatively, to jumpstart your business, you can try placing a small classified ad in your local paper.
Even though you may get a few odd looks and snickers from some of your friends and family, they'll be singing a different tune once they see how much money you're making in your little business.

The cleaning business is very lucrative right now, and there are many areas of it one could get started. I have written an article on the subject myself. Please give it a read and let me know what you think.

You're right about setting up regular routes to group the customers together. When you can do that, then you can average 4 or more customers per hour. Another good way to get noticed, especially at first, is to send some news releases to local media and try to get some news coverage. The fact that it's such an unusual idea helps a lot with that! You're also right about the strange looks! lol... WhenI started my pooper-scooper service 25 years ago people said I was crazy. But it worked out VERY well for me! People interested in the business can ask questions and get a lot of great information in the Scoopers and Friends online forum at Pooper-Scooper.com
Let me see if I can link that for you... Pooper-Scooper Business Discussion Board

Pooper scooper businesses are one of the fastest growing pet start-up businesses options, and I am now thinking of starting this kind of business.
