An island town with a lot of visitors
Chincoteague is Virginia's island getaway, best known as the gateway to Assateague Island and its famous wild ponies. Many homes here are vacation rentals or second homes, and a lot of visitors bring their dogs along. Add the year-round community, and that's a lot of island yards. Along with regular dog poop pickup, we offer pet waste removal for communities and one-time cleanups in Chincoteague.
For vacation rental hosts
A pet-friendly rental on Chincoteague can book more weeks, but the yard needs attention between guests. The simplest system is regular weekly service during your busy season, timed around your turnover day. Our gate photos after every visit give you a record that the yard was handled, especially helpful if you live off the island. Read our tips for vacation rental hosts.
For year-round residents
If you live on Chincoteague full-time, weekly service keeps the yard clean all season without you having to think about it. You'll be given a regular service day and a text when we're on the way.
Protecting the bays and marshes
Chincoteague is surrounded by bays, channels and marsh. When it rains, dog waste left in the yard can wash into the water, carrying bacteria and nutrients that don't belong in a place known for its shellfish and wildlife. Regular pickup helps keep it out. Here's why it matters.
Sandy, shady island yards
Island yards mix grass, sand, shells and pine needles, and waste hides easily under decks and stairs. We walk every part of the yard so nothing gets missed.

Year-round island life
Chincoteague is quieter outside of the summer season, and the year-round community keeps the island going through the cooler months. We service yards year-round, and with no contracts, rental owners can scale service up for summer and back down for winter.
Getting the yard ready for the season
Before your first summer guests, a one-time cleanup resets the yard after the off-season. Then weekly service through the busy months keeps every arrival clean. See our tips for vacation rental hosts for more ideas, like leaving waste bags and a lidded can for guests.
Gate safety
Visiting dogs don't know the island. We double-check every gate, latch it and text you a photo after every visit.
