| Service (1 dog, standard yard) | Per visit |
|---|---|
| Weekly | $15–$25 (about $65–$110 a month) |
| Every other week | $20–$35 |

| Larger yard (1/4–1 acre) | +$5–$15 per visit |
Start from your monthly number, not the per-visit one: weekly service is about 4.33 visits a month. Most new operators price weekly service near the middle of their local range, charge a one-time fee for the first heavy cleanup, and add a small fee per extra dog. Drive time between stops is the hidden cost — a tight route in one neighborhood lets you charge market price and still beat your hourly goal.
Weekly service for one dog in a standard yard usually costs $15 to $25 a visit in 2026, which works out to roughly $65 to $110 a month. Every-other-week visits cost more each time ($20 to $35) because more waste builds up.
Most companies add $3 to $8 per visit for each dog after the first.
One-time or first cleanups usually run $60 to $150, depending on yard size and how long it has been since the last cleanup.
Quote per visit so the price is easy to compare, but bill monthly. Customers budget by the month, and monthly billing smooths your cash flow.
