Now that the snow is falling again 💩❄️ I wanted to take a moment to explain how Vermont Poo Patrol works throughout the winter months.

Each week, I will scoop as much as I can. However, if your yard is fully covered in snow on your appointment day, I’ll need to skip that day and try again the following week. This will continue until we get a good scooping day. You may go several weeks without a scoop, but don’t worry — I’ll take care of the entire mess for your regular appointment price as soon as conditions allow.
There is no charge for any week I can’t complete service for any reason, including weather.
Last winter, I was able to scoop most weeks since we didn’t get much snow. February was the only month I couldn’t scoop at all! If we do experience several weeks of heavy snow this year, I may use the occasional Saturday to catch up when weather permits.

Vermont is famous for its microclimates — I learned last year just how dramatically conditions can differ from yard to yard.
Some yards were buried while others had no snow at all!
To help make things smoother this winter, please message me the day before your regular appointment to let me know if your yard is scoopable. If I don’t hear from you, I’ll swing by when I have reason to believe the conditions are good enough for scooping.
And as always, if you can see the mess and want it taken care of, just reach out anytime and I will be there as soon as I can! 💩❄️

I highly recommend staying on the Poo Patrol schedule through the winter. Even one scoop a month helps prevent the dreaded springtime “landmine field.”
Dogs p**p every day — and we scoop every day we can. When those warm, wet winter days suddenly expose weeks (or months!) of buildup, you’ll be so glad your yard didn’t get out of control.
If you decide to pause service for the winter, I completely understand — just please know I can’t guarantee your spot will still be available in the spring. I’m one person doing this part-time, and winter is actually when many new customers sign up as it's even harder to get out and scoop this time of year. My appointment slots are extremely limited and fill up quickly.
𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙠 𝙔𝙤𝙪!
Thank you all for being part of the Poo Patrol gang! We’ll get through this winter together.
If you ever have questions, concerns, or need a quick scoop, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
