About Poopy Monster
More Than Pet Waste Removal—A Company You Can Trust
At Poopy Monster, we believe hiring a pet waste removal company should be easy—and trusting them should be even easier.
We’re a locally owned company proudly serving Rochester, NY, Monroe County, and surrounding communities with professional dog poop removal services that are dependable, affordable, and built around exceptional customer service.
Whether you need weekly service, bi-weekly visits, or a one-time cleanup, our goal is simple:
Give you a cleaner yard without adding another chore to your life.
From the moment you schedule service, you’ll know exactly what to expect. We send arrival notifications before every visit, secure your gate before leaving, and let you know when the job is complete—so you always have peace of mind.
Meet the Owner
Poopy Monster was founded by Dan Powell, a U.S. Navy veteran and retired Monroe County Sheriff’s Deputy with more than 25 years of public service.
Throughout his career, Dan built a reputation for professionalism, accountability, and attention to detail—qualities that now define every Poopy Monster visit.
After retiring from law enforcement, he saw an opportunity to solve a problem that thousands of dog owners face every week:
They love their dogs… but nobody enjoys cleaning up after them.
What started as a simple idea quickly became one of Rochester’s trusted pet waste removal companies, serving homeowners who value reliability, communication, and exceptional service.
Today, those same values continue to guide every customer interaction.
