I spent four years in the Navy before I started Mile High Scoopers, a veteran owned dog waste removal company. Leadership, project management, showing up when you say you’re going to show up. That’s what the military teaches you, whether you’re running a team or running a route through Highlands Ranch.
When people ask why they should hire a veteran owned dog waste removal company instead of just grabbing whoever pops up first on Google, this is the honest answer. It’s not a marketing angle for me. It’s how I actually run this business.
Why I Started This Veteran Owned Dog Waste Removal Company
I’m a busy dad. Like most dog owners, I dreaded going out to scoop the yard. It always got pushed to tomorrow, then the next day, then it just sat there. I knew I wasn’t the only one. Every dog owner in Colorado has felt that same chore hanging over their weekend.
So I built Mile High Scoopers to give people that time back. One less thing on the list. A yard that’s clean without you ever having to think about it.
Military Discipline, Applied to Your Yard
Here’s what four years in the Navy actually translates to when it comes to running a dog waste removal service:
We show up when we say we will. No flaking, no “we’ll get to it eventually.” If you’re on the schedule, we’re at your gate.
We do the job right, every time. Not a quick pass through the yard. A full, thorough clean, every visit.
We overcommunicate. You’ll know when we’ve been there. You’ll know if something’s off, like a gate that was left open or a spot we couldn’t get to. We don’t leave you guessing.
The standard is simple: under promise, over deliver. That’s not a slogan, it’s the operating principle behind every single visit.
A Real Example of What That Looks Like
One client, a family in Highlands Ranch with two large dogs, had gone through two other companies before finding us. Both had the same problem: inconsistent visits, no communication when something changed, and yards that were only half cleaned. By the time they called us, they were ready to just give up and do it themselves again.
We started them on a weekly schedule. Every visit got a quick text update. When our tech noticed their fence gate latch was loose and could let the dogs out, he flagged it immediately instead of just closing it and moving on. That’s the kind of attention to detail that comes from military training, you don’t just complete the task, you look out for the bigger picture.
They’ve been with us ever since. That’s the difference between a company that shows up and a company that actually pays attention.
The Numbers Behind the Reputation of a Veteran Owned Dog Waste Removal Business
Talk is cheap, so here’s what backs it up:
- Over 1,000 cleanups performed across Douglas County
- 40+ five star Google reviews from real clients in Highlands Ranch, Parker, Castle Rock, Castle Pines, Lone Tree, Centennial, and Littleton
- A team trained to the same standard on every single property, every single visit
Consistency isn’t an accident. It’s a system, and it’s the same system that got drilled into me in the Navy: set the standard, hold the line, don’t cut corners when nobody’s watching.
What This Means for You
When you hire a veteran owned dog waste removal company, you’re not just getting a service, you’re getting a standard. A team that shows up reliably, communicates when something needs your attention, and treats your yard like it actually matters. That’s the whole business, built on the same discipline I learned wearing the uniform.
If you’re tired of chasing down companies that ghost you or half do the job, that’s exactly the gap we built Mile High Scoopers to fill.
