You typed "pooper scooper service near me" into your phone. Maybe from the back porch. Maybe right after your shoe found something soft in the grass. We get it. We know dog poop. Unfortunately.
So here's the good news. You don't have to settle for whoever pops up first. If you live anywhere from Kyle down to Live Oak, or from Canyon Lake over to Seguin, your local Poo Squad crew is probably already in your neighborhood. This guide walks through every town we cover, what yards look like there, and how to get on the schedule.
What "Near Me" Actually Means for Us
Poo Squad New Braunfels is locally owned by Mitch Johnson. We're not a call center three states away. We're the folks driving FM 306 and I-35 with orange buckets in the truck bed.
Our service area covers 17 communities:
- New Braunfels, Gruene side and all
- Seguin, Santa Clara, Marion, McQueeney and Geronimo
- Cibolo, Schertz, Selma, Universal City and Live Oak
- Garden Ridge, Bulverde and Canyon Lake
- San Marcos, Kyle and Martindale
That's a big chunk of the Hill Country and the I-35 corridor. Each corner has its own kind of yard. So let's walk it town by town.
New Braunfels: Rivers, Rock and a Lot of Dogs
New Braunfels is home base. And it's a dog town. You see leashes everywhere, from the paths around Landa Park to the sidewalks near Gruene Hall.
Yards here vary a lot. Older lots near downtown have big shade trees and thick St. Augustine. Newer builds in Veramendi and out along the growing west side often have young sod, rock beds and caliche just under the surface. Poop hides well in rocky landscaping. Ask anyone who's mowed over it.
We cover the whole city with weekly, every other week and monthly dog poop removal in New Braunfels. If your yard is mostly rock and mulch, we've got tips in our post on scooping rocky New Braunfels yards.
Seguin, McQueeney, Marion and the Guadalupe Side
Head east on I-10 and you hit Seguin. Bigger lots. More acreage. More room for dogs to roam, which means more ground to search.
Out around Lake McQueeney, a lot of homes back up to the water. Dogs love a lakefront yard. They also love leaving gifts right where the grass slopes toward the shoreline. Marion, Santa Clara and Geronimo bring a more rural feel, with wide yards and farm fences.
Big yards aren't a problem. We walk the whole space in a grid so nothing gets missed. Even the spot behind the shed your dog thinks is a secret.
Schertz, Cibolo, Selma and Universal City
This is subdivision country. Tidy lawns, wood privacy fences and plenty of HOAs. Lots of military families, too, with JBSA Randolph right there in Universal City.
Smaller yards fill up fast. One dog in a compact backyard can cover the usable grass in a couple of weeks. Add a second dog and you're playing hopscotch by Friday. HOA letters about smell don't help either.
Families here often move on short notice, too. If you're getting ready to list a house or hand back a rental, a one time cleanup in New Braunfels and nearby towns gets the yard showing ready without a long term plan.
Live Oak, Garden Ridge and Bulverde
Live Oak sits right on the edge of San Antonio, with established neighborhoods and mature trees. Leaves drop this time of year. Poop hides under them. Nobody wins.
Garden Ridge and Bulverde lean wooded and spread out. Larger lots, native brush and plenty of deer wandering through. Your dog doesn't care who left what. They'll sniff it, roll in it or eat it. Keeping your own dog's waste picked up makes it easier to spot when wildlife has been through.
Curious what else is visiting at night? Our backyard animal poop identification guide helps you tell dog from deer from raccoon.
Canyon Lake: Big Lots, Lots of Limestone
Canyon Lake yards are a whole different animal. Steep slopes. Limestone ledges. Cedar and live oak everywhere. Some lots have more rock than grass.
Plenty of Canyon Lake homes are weekend places or retirement spots, too. Dogs come along for the long weekends, and the yard waits for someone to deal with it later.
That terrain makes DIY scooping a workout. It also means rain carries waste downhill fast, toward the lake and the river below the dam. We wrote a full Canyon Lake dog waste removal guide if you live out that way.
San Marcos, Kyle and Martindale
Up I-35, San Marcos mixes college rentals near Texas State with family neighborhoods and new builds. The San Marcos River runs right through town, cool and clear all year. Kyle keeps growing, with big master planned communities like Plum Creek. Martindale sits quiet along the river, east of town.
Rentals bring their own headaches. Move out day comes, and the backyard is the last thing anybody checks. A landlord walking the lot finds weeks of waste. Nobody gets their deposit back that way.
Renters, students with dogs and busy commuters all search for the same thing: someone to just handle it. We've got a deeper look at San Marcos dog poop scooper service if you want the details.
Why a Local Crew Matters Here
Our area has something special: some of the clearest rivers in Texas. The Comal, the Guadalupe and the San Marcos all run through towns we serve. Much of the region also sits on or near the Edwards Aquifer, which supplies drinking water for a lot of Central Texas.
Dog waste left in yards doesn't just sit there. Rain washes it into storm drains and creeks, and those lead to the rivers we all float in summer. Heavy Hill Country downpours move it even faster. Poop also carries parasites and bacteria that can make people and pets sick. The CDC's healthy pets guidance covers why picking up after your dog matters for your family's health.
A crew that knows these yards knows where waste collects. Downhill corners. Fence lines. That shady spot under the oak. We check them every visit.
Pick a Schedule That Fits Your Dog Crew
Most folks searching "near me" also want to know cost. Fair. Here's what our plans run for one or two dogs:
- Weekly: $54 per month for 1 dog, $63 per month for 2 dogs
- Every other week: $46 per month for 1 dog, $53 per month for 2 dogs
- Monthly: $40 per month for 1 dog, $50 per month for 2 dogs
- One time cleanup: $40 for 1 or 2 dogs
Weekly works best for most homes with two dogs or smaller yards. Every other week suits one dog in a bigger yard. Monthly is a nice reset if you keep up between visits. Want the full breakdown? Read our post on pet waste removal cost in New Braunfels.
Not Just Backyards
Some of you searching aren't homeowners at all. You manage an apartment complex in Schertz. You run an HOA in Kyle. You're planning a dog friendly market in Gruene.
We've got you covered there, too:
- Commercial pet waste removal for apartments, HOAs and shared green spaces
- Event pooper scooper services for dog friendly gatherings
- Yard deodorizing for patios, turf and dog runs that still smell after the poop is gone
Shared spaces get busy fast. One unscooped pile near a pet station invites the next one. Regular visits keep the grass usable and the complaints down.
Same orange buckets. Same attention to the corners people forget.
Why November Is a Smart Time to Start
Fall in this part of Texas is sneaky. The heat finally breaks. Cool fronts roll through. Your dogs spend more time outside, and so do you.
Then the holidays hit. Family flies into San Antonio. Kids run around the backyard after Thanksgiving dinner. Somebody's cousin steps in something in their nice shoes. You know how this goes.
Starting service now means your yard is clean before the guests show up. It also means you're ahead of the January to March rush, when everybody suddenly remembers the backyard. Leaves falling now hide poop until spring. We'd rather find it this month than next March.
