No — good ones don't. Scoop Cop has no contract, no minimum term, no cancellation fee, and no notice period: service is month-to-month, and you keep one with up to 3 dogs included on a standard residential yard for as long as you stay.
A contract in this industry is almost always a retention tool, not an operational need. Routes are scheduled weekly, so there is no equipment cost or long lead time that a twelve-month commitment protects. When a provider asks for one, it is usually because the churn rate is high enough that they need to slow it down contractually.
The terms worth reading before you sign up anywhere: minimum term, cancellation fee, required notice period, whether prepaid visits are refundable, and whether the rate can change mid-term. Any one of those can turn a cheap headline price into a more expensive year than a flat month-to-month rate.
Scoop Cop is deliberately the opposite on every one of those points. Text us to pause for travel or cancel outright before your next visit — no fee, no notice, no retention call. The price includes up to 3 dogs on a standard residential yard, and extra dogs are a published $3 per visit — no surprises on a later invoice.
