Last updated: 05/22/2025
Please read the following Terms of Service carefully before purchasing or receiving dog waste removal services from Fetch N Clean Dog Waste Removal ("Fetch N Clean," "we," "us," or "our").
By signing up for and/or purchasing any services, each client ("Client," "you") agrees to the following terms and conditions.
General Service Disclaimer
Fetch N Clean and its employees agree to provide all purchased services in a professional, reliable, and trustworthy manner. In consideration of these services, and as an express condition thereof, the Client agrees to hold harmless and expressly waives all claims against Fetch N Clean or its employees unless arising from gross negligence on the part of Fetch N Clean staff or management.
Scope of Service & Yard Conditions
We remove only pet waste that is visible to the best of our ability.
Service results may be negatively impacted by:
- Tall or unmaintained grass
- Overgrown weeds, bushes, or landscaping
- Excessive leaves or debris
- Mulch, tanbark, or rock-covered areas
Clients are responsible for maintaining their yard so waste is reasonably visible. We will:
- Remove waste visible on top of leaves, mulch, or tanbark
- Not dig through piles of leaves, mulch, or tanbark
- Attempt removal on rock surfaces but cannot guarantee full removal due to waste breakdown
If yard conditions prevent proper servicing, the visit will still be charged at the regular rate.
Decks & Trampolines
- We service only areas within arm's reach using our tools
- We do not service under decks lower than 6 feet
- We do not service under trampolines
For trampoline servicing, the Client must move the trampoline prior to service. Missed areas should be reported so they can be corrected on future visits.

Dogs are territorial by nature. Even friendly pets may react unpredictably to strangers.
