Retriever Pet Waste Co. is a veteran-owned, family-operated pet waste management company serving Columbus, Muscogee County, Harris County, and Fort Benning, Georgia. Harris County is on the route every week. Larger lots, more dogs per house, and subdivisions where the HOA is the one that hears about it.
Get a QuoteHarris County is an HOA market. The county is mostly unincorporated and low density, and its animal control ordinance, Section 5-47, covers leashing, subdivision confinement, and nuisance animals. It has no pet waste provision. There is no code enforcement officer coming to fix a common area in Cataula or Hamilton. The covenants are the rule, and the board is the enforcement.
That puts the burden on volunteers. Boards send letters, residents argue about whose dog it was, and the common area, the walking trail, and the pond bank stay the way they were. Fining people does not work. A scheduled service does. We clean the common areas, trails, and any dog park or relief area on a weekly or twice weekly route, restock the stations, and send the board an after-service report after every visit, so the question of whether it got done is answered in writing.
Pricing is a flat monthly rate. On a per-home basis it works out to a few dollars per home per month, which is a line item most boards can approve without a special assessment. Agreements run twelve months and then month to month, with a thirty day out for failure to perform.
Harris County lots run larger than Columbus lots. We quote by yard size and dog count, not a flat city rate, so a half acre in Pine Mountain is priced for what it is.
Same day every week. Twice weekly for multiple dogs. Every other week for a single dog and light use.
Every pile picked up, waste double bagged and removed or left in your bin, and a notification when the yard is done.
Residential service is month to month with no cancellation fee.
Much of Harris County drains to ponds and creeks rather than a city storm system. Dog waste is a documented source of bacteria in waterways. Federal scientists studying the Chattahoochee found dogs were a primary source of fecal contamination in the river, and regulators in other states have traced dogs as a major source in creek cleanups when they actually tested. Waste that is picked up on schedule never reaches the pond.
The other reason is the yard itself. The CDC says to pick up after dogs every time because of roundworm and hookworm. Roundworm eggs need two to four weeks in soil to become infective, and hookworm larvae in soil can penetrate bare skin. A weekly route stays ahead of both, which matters in a county where the kids and the dogs share the same backyard.

No. Harris County's animal control ordinance, Section 5-47, covers leashing, subdivision confinement, and nuisance animals but has no waste removal provision. In Harris County the rules that apply are your HOA covenants, which is why boards hire a scheduled service instead of relying on enforcement.
Yes. We provide scheduled cleanup of common areas, trails, pond banks, and dog parks, plus pet waste station supply, installation, and restocking, with an after-service report the board can keep on file. The property walkthrough and written estimate are free.
Residential pricing depends on dog count, yard size, and frequency. Harris County lots tend to run larger, so we quote by the yard. Request a quote online or call or text 706-530-1542 for a same-day number. No contract and no cancellation fee.
