Built by family, trusted by neighbors
Your local pooper scooper service, started by two cousins in Green, Ohio.
Our story
It started as a challenge
Landmine Patrol didn't start with some grand business plan. It started with a cousin who wanted to earn more money and another cousin who said, "want to build something real?" One challenge, five service ideas, and one surprisingly enthusiastic vote for dog poop scooping later, we were off to the races.
The timing made sense. We were already living the classic family chaos life: kids, dogs, W2 jobs, late dinners, and the never-ending question of what we forgot to thaw for tomorrow. As dog owners and busy parents, we knew how fast life gets messy and how fast the yard gets ignored. And honestly, nobody wants to spend Saturday pretending they're on a landmine clearance team.
So the challenge turned into something bigger. We realized we could build a service that actually made life easier for families like ours. Something reliable. Something local. Something we could take pride in and eventually pass down to our kids.
Today
A small but relentless crew
Now we serve Akron, Canton, Green, Massillon, North Canton, and the towns around them. No corporate fluff and no cookie-cutter scripts. Just two cousins building a family business with clean yards, sanitized tools, dependable communication, and the kind of care we put into our own homes.
For us, Landmine Patrol is a legacy. It's proof that with hard work, family, and a couple of shovels, you can turn a simple challenge into something meaningful.
We pick up where your dog leaves off. You get your time back. Everybody wins.
