It all began with a crappy week. Literally. In the span of seven days, my wife and I both suffered the unfortunate fate of stepping in dog poop. I was the first victim, building a fence in Bartlett when I failed to dodge a stealthy landmine. My wife's misadventure occurred just a few days later at her sister's house in Midtown. We laughed it off, thinking the universe was just having a little fun at our expense. But the universe had one more trick up its sleeve.
On a romantic afternoon stroll through Shelby Farms Park, I felt the familiar squelch beneath my shoe. My wife's eyes widened in amusement, and I could sense our lovely evening was on the brink of disaster.
That's when it hit me – a brilliant idea to combat the most annoying part of dog ownership: picking up dog poop! Why not start a dog waste removal company to save fellow Memphians from the same crappy fate? And just like that, Scoop You Up was born.
As a family-owned business, we're passionate about poop-proofing every yard, apartment complex, pet friendly business and public park in the greater Memphis area. Our mission is simple: to keep your outdoor spaces clean, safe, and enjoyable for the whole family – two-legged and four-legged alike! So, the next time you're out enjoying the Bluff City's beautiful parks or playing fetch with your furry friend, remember: Scoop You Up has got you covered!
