Nobody Steps In Anything
The whole yard gets walked, not just the strip by the back door. Bare feet, sandals, and stroller wheels all survive the summer.
Ramsey County · North Oaks, Minnesota
Yard Patrol is a locally owned dog waste removal service based in Hugo, serving North Oaks on a set schedule. We clean up after your dogs so the yard stays usable and the scooper stays in the garage.
North Oaks is one of the most private communities in the metro — the roads and trails are owned by the homeowners association, and the lots are large, wooded, and set well back from the street. That is a great place to own dogs and a tough place to keep on top of the yard by hand.
Big wooded lots hide a lot. We walk the actual dog-used portion of the property rather than a token loop by the deck, and we follow the community's access expectations while we are on site.
The service itself is simple. We walk the entire service area, bag every pile, and place the bags in your outdoor trash bin whenever possible. Haul-away is available if you'd rather it leave with us. Gates go back exactly the way we found them, and equipment is sanitized between properties so nothing travels from one yard to the next. You never have to be home.
We also serve White Bear Lake, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and Hugo. Not sure whether your street is on the route? Call or text Lucas and he'll tell you straight.

Why Neighbors Hire Us
The whole yard gets walked, not just the strip by the back door. Bare feet, sandals, and stroller wheels all survive the summer.
A clean yard means the kids in your North Oaks neighborhood can use all of it, not just the two safe corners.
Waste that sits is what draws flies and cuts a July evening on the patio short. Regular pickup keeps the yard usable when it's warm.
No scouting the lawn before you mow, and no cleaning off the mower deck afterward. Everything is cleared before the grass gets cut.
Two, three, or four dogs produce a lot more than one. Pricing scales by dog count and the frequency is matched to actual volume.
Minnesota winters hide a whole season's worth of waste. When the snow goes, so does everything under it — that's what the spring cleanup is for.
How It Works
Tell us your address, how many dogs, and how long it's been since the yard was last cleaned. Takes about two minutes.
Twice weekly, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or a single cleanup. No contracts — change or pause it whenever you want.
Lucas walks the whole service area, bags everything, closes the gates, and sanitizes equipment before the next yard. You don't need to be home.
That's it. The chore is handled on a schedule and you stop thinking about it.

No. As long as there is safe access to the yard, you never need to be home. Most customers are at work during their service day.
Yes. We service year-round whenever waste is visible and reachable. Deep snow can bury things for a stretch, so some winter visits are lighter and we catch everything back up as it melts — that is also what the spring cleanup is for.
No. There are no long-term contracts. Change your frequency, pause, or cancel whenever you need to.
