In line of dooty is the best company that we have ever used. We have been using John for several years now. The work is done twice a month for us, but he will give you options on how often you want him to come. It is worth every penny! I tell friends how nice it is to have a service like this. A+ all around.

Awesome! John is great and super friendly! We have 2 large dogs and 1 big girl(mastiff) and our lawn looks spotless every week! Prices are incredibly reasonably(and the business name is something you can help but get a good laugh out of) I run an animal hospital and suggest him to any clients that ask about a scooper service because I'm that happy with it. I would highly recommend :) !

From our first discussion, John was very professional and polite.  He came promptly to give us an "in-person" quote - and I introduced him to our 2 dogs so they became familiar with him.  John comes each week at the appointed time and sends an invoice monthly.  He's very personable and takes great pride in his work and our property.  We feel very fortunate to have found his services - and we look forward to a long relationship with his company.  He has now been working with us about 2 months.

For 15.oo a week this provider comes every Tuesday and cleans the yard meticulously. when collection of poop is done, he leaves a clean bag of collection for garbage day.  
Love this service, I am no longer arguing with my teenagers to clean up after our dog. ( I ended up doing it myself anyway). 
I have the lawn service coming in the afternoon on Tuesdays and no longer am running out to clean up after the dog or being embarrassed that there are poop landmines in the yard.

We have been using In the line of dooty for several months now.  John is professional and thorough.  We never see him, but the cleanup is left in a bag by our garbage so that we know he has come.  At first I didn't want to pay to have someone clean up after our dogs.  However, it has made our lives easier and my landscaper's lives too!  I highly recommend him. Glad I found them on Angie's list!

We found In the Line of Dooty this past spring. John comes to clean our dog run weekly, and his prices are very reasonable. I can't think of anything I'd rather outsource! John is unfailingly polite, professional and thorough. He has a very efficient system for picking up, and he carefully transfers the excrement to a special plastic bag, which he puts in our garbage cans. I would recommend him to anyone, and I am thrilled that we found him.

John from "In the Line of Dooty" has been working with us for over 3 years now I believe. 

At the time we had 2 dogs a Poggle and a Pug. We have a closed in yard with a pool. Most of the yard is pavers with low raised planters along the sides and many alcoves and hiding spots. 

The same as all families who want pets. "I want a dog (s)", "Who is going to walk the dog(s)", The Kids "I will, I will". Yeah, that works for about a week. Than the arguments about who is going to clean up after the dog(s) in the yard since no one is walking them now.
Until I found John from "In the Line of Dooty". 

His service is worth every penny not to have any one screaming at each other in the family. Especially since all I do is work and the one time I want to enjoy my backyard and I would have to dodge land mines. I grew up in a household of exactly what I just explained.

John comes once a week, usually on Tuesday for us. Looks over the entire yard finds Frankie's special spots and places all the poop in a bag. John than leaves the bag on top of my trash can in his famous little blue bag so I know he was there and I open the lid of my trash can and away it goes. You can't ask for anything easier.

John is there every week like clock work even in bad weather. In the snow he hunts for the land mines. During the last winter with the bad snows I piled up snow at least 8 feet high on the side of my home, not thinking about John having to get top the yard. I realized what I had done the following Tuesday when I saw the blue bag sitting onto of my trash can. John never complained about his access.

John always invoices once a month and if he knows that he will not be able to make a date, he will let you know.

We now have a clean backyard and don't have to be embarrassed every time the landscaper comes.  Both of us work long hours and can never seem to find the time to clean the poo on our own.  We were surprised to find a business that was in the line of dooty!

We used John's service for some five years till last summer, when my dog had to be put to sleep. 
He always did a wonderful job. He was extremely thorough and never missed anything. He was prompt and regular; I don't remember him ever missing a day. He would turn up like clockwork, at the assigned time and would always do a great job. I never had a complaint with him the entire time he worked for us.
He would  always remember to close the garden gates behind him, which is a huge deal for someone with a dog.
When we went away , we would  let him know by mail  and he wouldn't charge us for that period.
John has great work ethic and is very responsible! Any one who employs him will not be sorry.

"[Member Name], Thank you for your kind words, I greatly appreciate your review. If you ever need my service again in the future I wouldn't hesitate to put you in to my Tuesday route. It was my pleasure servicing your yard and occasionally speaking with your husband on the back porch. Again, thank you very much. John"

He answered the call promptly and showed up the next day on time.  He did an excellent job for a reasonable price.  He was professional and friendly.

He comes very early in the morning so when I do see him, he is very friendly but mostly he goes in and goes out but they are very good about leaving gates closed and we probably have a big hundred and twenty- pound dog and they made friends with him so they are not afraid of dogs obviously. I would recommend them. They are reliable.
