What New Jersey Dog Owners Say
70+ Five-Star Reviews from Happy New Jersey Families
Serving Every Corner of South River, NJ
From the blocks around Whitehead Avenue and William Street to the neighborhoods by Dailey's Pond, Varga Park, Grekoski Park, Veterans Park, and Bissett's Recreation Area, we keep South River yards clean and ready for your family to enjoy.
South River yards work hard. Between letting the dog out before work and school, kids tearing around the lawn, and weekends at Dailey's Pond Park or Varga Park / Pacers Field, your grass and patio take a beating. My job is simple: keep South River, NJ dog owners' yards clean so you never have to think about dog poop again.
Neighborhoods We Serve
We service single‑family homes, duplexes, and tight backyards all over the borough. Around Whitehead Avenue, William Street, and the neighborhoods near South River High School and South River Elementary, modest fenced yards fill up fast, which means odor, flies, and "landmines" getting tracked straight into the house if you fall behind. Near Dailey's Pond Park, Grekoski Park, and Veterans Park, deeper lots, side yards, and tree lines make it easy for piles to disappear in grass, mulch, and leaves until someone steps in them. Down by Bissett's Recreation Area and the streets that slope toward the South River itself, low spots and shaded corners can turn into muddy poop zones after a rain. We set your cleanup schedule based on how your specific yard actually behaves, not a generic one‑size‑fits‑all plan.
Whitehead & Schools Area
Modest fenced yards fill up fast, which means odor, flies, and "landmines" getting tracked straight into the house if you fall behind.
Parks & Recreation Areas
Deeper lots, side yards, and tree lines make it easy for piles to disappear in grass, mulch, and leaves until someone steps in them.
River Area & Bissett's
Low spots and shaded corners can turn into muddy poop zones after a rain.
South River's Parks & Recreation
South River has plenty of places to walk your dog: the paths and memorial at Dailey's Pond Park, the ballfields and playgrounds at Varga Park / Pacers Field, green space at Grekoski Park, the monuments and lawns at Veterans Park, and the open fields and trails at Bissett's Recreation Area. You might grab food along Main Street or around the Portuguese and Polish spots near the river, swing by a park, and be home in minutes. What you should not have to do is spend your limited free time hunting for dog waste in your own grass afterward.
Thorough, Season-Aware Service
Every visit follows a set pattern. We walk your yard in a deliberate grid, paying extra attention to patio edges, play sets, dog paths, gate areas, and along fences and tree lines where dogs love to patrol. We pick up every pile, bag it, and remove it from your property.
Spring rains and the nearby river and low‑lying streets turn parts of the yard into muddy poop zones, summer heat bakes in odor in tight backyards, and fall leaves from big street trees make it easy to miss piles, so we adjust our approach each season rather than just walking a quick line and leaving.
From the blocks around Whitehead Avenue and William Street to the neighborhoods by Dailey's Pond, Varga Park, Grekoski Park, Veterans Park, and Bissett's Recreation Area, if you live in South River, NJ and have a dog, we can keep your yard as clean as the parks your dog loves. You relax. We handle the gross part.
