Why it matters

What's outside doesn't stay outside.

A messy yard isn't just a yard problem. It's a paw, shoe, sock, and stroller-wheel problem. The kind that ends up on your kitchen floor, your couch, your kids' hands. Fresh Paws is built for families who care about what's tracked inside as much as what's left outside.

  • i Cleaner floors. Less laundry. No more wiping paws or scrubbing carpet. A clean yard means a cleaner home.
  • ii Healthier kids. Healthier pets. Pet waste carries bacteria, parasites, and Giardia. We remove and sanitize so your yard is safe for barefoot play.
  • iii Your weekend back. The chore that quietly steals an hour every week, gone. Same day, same time, every week.

How it works

Three steps. One less thing.

i.

Tell us about your yard

Address, gate access, and how many dogs share the space. Two minutes, online or by phone.

ii.

We assign a route lead

A consistent technician, never a rotating crew, handles your home each week.

iii.

You get your weekend back

Photo confirmation lands on your phone. The gate stays latched. The yard stays clean.

iv.

Health Watch in every report

If we notice changes in your dog's waste, we let you know. A second set of eyes for your pet's health, included with every visit.

The reason this exists. Founder's note from Richard
A note from the founder

Fresh Paws started in my own home. Two girls, three dogs, two corporate jobs, and a yard that quietly stole every weekend.

Like a lot of families, we noticed that what was in the yard wasn't really staying in the yard. It ended up on shoes, paws, kids' hands, the kitchen floor.

I couldn't find a service I'd trust to leave with my gate code, so I built one. Fresh Paws is small on purpose: consistent route leads, real attention, and a standard of care I'd want for my own family. If something's ever not right, you'll have my number directly.

Frequently asked

Good questions deserve real answers.

Do I need to be home during service?
No, most of our members aren't home when we visit. We just need access to your yard (gate code, side gate, or unlocked latch). After every visit, you'll get a photo report so you know exactly what was done and that your gate is secured.
What if my dog is in the yard when you arrive?
No problem at all. We love working with dogs in the yard. We just ask that if your dog has a history of aggression toward strangers, you let us know in advance and keep them inside during the visit. Our team is trained to be calm and friendly with pets of all sizes.
What happens if it rains?
San Diego weather is mostly cooperative. If there's heavy rain on your scheduled day, we'll typically reschedule for the next available day that week. You'll get a text letting you know the new arrival time.
Do you require a contract?
Never. Pause, change frequency, or cancel any time. We earn your business every single visit, and that's the way we want it.
How does pricing work for multiple dogs or larger yards?
Our membership tiers cover 1, 2, or 3+ dogs on a yard up to ¼ acre. Yards over ¼ acre are an additional $40/month per additional ¼ acre. We'll give you an exact quote based on your specifics with no surprises on the bill.
Where does the waste go?
We double-bag all waste in biodegradable bags and place it directly into your trash bin. We don't haul it off-site. It stays at your home for the next pickup, the way it should be.
Are your products safe for kids and pets?
Yes, completely. Our sanitization and deodorizing products are pet-safe, kid-safe, and eco-friendly. We chose them specifically because so many of our members have toddlers and dogs who play on the same grass.
Do you offer commercial or HOA service?
Yes. We work with HOAs, apartment complexes, dog parks, and commercial properties throughout North San Diego. Reach out for a custom quote and we'll design a plan that fits your community.
