About aPaws

aPaws is a trade association of professional pooper scoopers. Our main concern is making sure pet waste is cleaned up from residential and commercial properties. We uphold a strict standard of what is to be expected of our members in the care and treatment of all animals.

Pet waste is a problem we all face whether we own a dog, cat, horse, goose, etc. Most cities have adopted pooper scooper laws requiring you to clean up after your pet or you will be fined. Having your yard cleaned up by a pooper scooper weekly will save you time and money, and your yard will thank you!

Pet Professional Directory

Did you know that many professional Pooper Scoopers also pet sit? Or dog walk? Or participate in a number of different pet ventures that compliment their poop scooping business? If you’re a pet owner and you are considering hiring a Professional Animal Waste Specialist or other Pet Professional, we urge you to consider the importance of professionalism and ethics. Hiring an aPaws member means that you are getting the best pet professional for your pet, and one that meets our high standards. Our professionals are screened for insurance and have pledged to give the highest level of care to their clients and of course their pets.
