Who we are

Great service is personal.

Our business may be about number two, but our customers have always been number one. For more than two decades that's shaped everything we do, from dependable service and honest communication to treating every property as if it were our own.

Meet the owner

Hi, I'm Emily.

To me, pet waste removal is about much more than picking up after dogs. It's about showing up, communicating honestly, and treating every client's property with the same care and respect I would want for my own home. That philosophy is why every client is number one.

When my mother and I took over Big Business Scoopers from a family friend in 2015, I never imagined I would one day become its owner. Today I'm proud to carry forward a business that has helped New Jersey dog families enjoy cleaner yards since 2003.

Alongside the business, I serve as Secretary of aPaws, the Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists, where I work with others in our industry to raise the standards for pet waste removal.

Thank you for trusting me and my team with your yard. We truly appreciate every opportunity to earn your business.

— Emily LaBeaume, Owner

Where it all began

Our legacy.

Big Business Scoopers has always been shaped by the people who believed in the work and built the company one yard at a time.

Tina, former owner of Big Business Scoopers

Former Owner

Tina

When the chance came to buy Big Business Scoopers from longtime family friend Tom Watson in 2015, Tina left a corporate career for a challenge she never expected, and found one of the most rewarding chapters of her life.

Working alongside her daughter Emily, she helped grow the company into the trusted local service it is today. Although now retired, her standards still shape how the team works.

Founder

Tom

In 2003 Tom Watson founded Big Business Scoopers with a simple idea: help dog owners enjoy cleaner yards without one more chore on their list. Long before pet waste removal was a widely known service, he built one of New Jersey's earliest.

For more than a decade he earned local families' trust with reliable service and a great sense of humor, then in 2015 passed the business to Tina, knowing it would stay in good hands.

    “We have been customers for several years which shows how satisfied we are with the services that we receive weekly. We have three dogs so our yard does require a lot of attention and Big Business Scoopers comes to do the job that needs doing while we are at work. They are considerate of our pets, always letting us know that they’re on their way, and with our home, making sure that the gate is secure when they leave. It’s been a pleasure to deal with everyone at the company.”

  • Thanks for the love, New Jersey!

  • Scott

    “We’ve used big business scoopers for 3 or 4 years now and have been so pleased! Every scooper we’ve had is personable and does a fantastic job. They’ve even let me know when they’ve noticed my dogs bowel habits change and they are great with communication. Would recommend to anyone!”

  • Shonique B.

    “Big Business Scoopers changed my life! I honestly didn’t even know a service like this existed, but I am SO glad I found them. Having someone come and take care of the dog poop in my yard is one less thing I have to worry about, and that alone is priceless! They are reliable, professional, and the price is very reasonable for the convenience they provide. If you have a dog and hate dealing with yard cleanup, do yourself a favor and call Big Business Scoopers. You’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner! Five stars from me! 🐶💩⭐”

  • Philip C.

    “Big Business Scoopers has been amazing ever since I started using them years ago. They always clean up my yard with great care. I highly recommend them.”

  • Kathryn L.

    “Let's face it - no one LOVES picking up after their dogs. It's one thing when walking them, but if you have a fenced yard like I do, following them out every time they go is too time-consuming. I have two large dogs, a black lab mix and a German Shepherd mix, and they love to sunbathe and run. Emily and the Big Business Scoopers team are amazing! They always let us know when they're on their way so we can ensure the dogs are inside, or are at least ready for someone to come into "their territory". When they do encounter the dogs they love on them like there's no tomorrow (and my pups eat it up!). They come out rain or shine (within reason) and leave the yard looking great. It's so nice knowing that we can take the dogs out back and not have a minefield to navigate at all times. I'd definitely recommend Big Business Scoopers to anyone looking for someone to take on their yard clean-up conundrums.”

  • Kristy B.

    “We have used BBS for 5 years and have nothing but positive feedback! Every scooper is professional and kind and they do a great job! They leave photos of every scoop and the owner is always informing us of any changes etc. I can’t recommend them enough!”

  • Adam M.

    “Greg and everyone at Big Business Scoopers have been fantastic! They do an outstanding job every week and are always reliable, professional, and thorough. It’s one less thing I have to worry about because I know they’ll show up and leave the yard spotless. Their attention to detail and consistency really set them apart. If you’re looking for a dependable pet waste removal service, I highly recommend Greg and Big Business Scoopers. Great service, great people, and well worth it!”

  • Jackie H.

    “I’ve been a loyal customer of Big Business Scoopers for years, and I couldn’t be happier with their service. With three dogs, keeping the yard clean is a big job, but they keep it absolutely impeccable. They are always reliable, professional, and thorough, and I never have to worry about the yard being ready for my family to enjoy. Their pricing is fair, their service is outstanding, and they truly care about their customers. I highly recommend Big Business Scoopers to anyone looking for dependable service at a great price.”

  • Michelle F.

    “I love big business scoopers. They are always very friendly and Greg is always super punctual and gives me enough time to get my dogs inside if they are outside and he is on his way. He also does a very wonderful job. I wouldn’t trade this company for any other one. And the pricing for three dollars is reasonable.”

  • Kate E.

  • Debbie M.

    “We have been using Big Business Scoopers for 3 years now. We absolutely love Emily and her team. They are quick to answer any questions or concerns we have. I love that they let us know when they are on their way to ensure my girls are inside and don’t bark the entire time. Pricing is extremely fair especially for the job they do. I’m thankful I found them by accident! I originally started with biweekly but went to weekly scoops and definitely am glad I went that route. Thank you so much! I highly recommend their services!”

  • Douglas S.

    “I can’t recommend Big Business Scoopers highly enough! They are professional, reliable, and incredibly thorough. It’s such a relief knowing I never have to worry about cleaning up the yard—they show up on schedule, do an excellent job, and leave everything spotless. Their customer service is outstanding, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work. If you’re looking for a dependable pet waste removal company that makes life easier, Big Business Scoopers is the one to call.

    “Everyone at Big Business Scoopers is amazing and reliable, we very much enjoy our service with them.”

  • Laurel B.

    “I’m a huge fan of having Big Business Scoopers be a part of our yard maintenance. Having young kids makes it harder to get out to do it myself (or they’re trying to help which is worse), so having Greg come to the house every week is a life saver. 10/10!”

  • Renee R.

    “Emily from Big Business Scoopers is absolutely fantastic! I have a Husky, so there’s no shortage of clean-up, and she does a thorough, consistent, and reliable job every single time. She pays great attention to detail and leaves my yard spotless, which gives me such peace of mind. Beyond the quality of her work, Emily is professional, dependable, and easy to work with. It’s clear she takes pride in what she does, and it really shows. I truly appreciate her help—it’s made a huge difference in keeping things clean and manageable. Highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone who goes above and beyond!”

  • Kourtney M.

    “We have had such a great experience with Big Business Scoopers! They are extremely personal, great communication, and always prompt service. They were super flexible with our schedule and extremely compassionate when we recently lost our doggie. They helped with one final cleanup to help us close this chapter. We will absolutely recommend them to anyone who asks!”

  • Whitney W.

    “Fantastic customer service and steady scheduled service visits. Keeps lawns clean and always updates you on the visit activity. I appreciate how friendly both the office staff and lawn scoopers are. You’ll never needed to worry about the value of their services.”

  • George C.

    “Absolutely 5 stars for Big Business Scoopers! Let’s be honest — dog doodie duty is not exactly the glamorous side of pet ownership, but Big Business Scoopers makes it completely stress-free. Greg, our weekly scooper, is wonderful. He does a great job, communicates clearly, and is always reliable. Emily, the owner, is also fantastic to work with. She is flexible, responsive, and clearly takes pride in making sure her clients are taken care of. She has even come out herself when Greg is off or on vacation, just to make sure our yard is cleaned on schedule. It is rare to find a company that handles the “dirty work” with this much professionalism, kindness, and consistency. Big Business Scoopers is dependable, easy to work with, and truly appreciated by both us and our dogs. Highly recommend!”

  • Jenny P.

    “Great company, great service, never head any issues with them. Very friendly staff!”

  • Rosemarie's R.

    “As the owner of Rosemarie's Rescue Ranch I can sincerely say I could not function without the assist of Big Business Scoopers. We have rotating fosters at my home and cleaning up after them is quite the chore. I tried the rest, so many different services out there, and then one day I stumbled on the best. What i love most about this service is not only is this a women-owned biz, but the owner genuinely cares about her clients. If one of her employees calls out sick or is unable to fulfill their "duties" on a given day, guess who shows up to fulfill her commitment? You guessed it. The owner herself. The communication is impeccable and the respect of my need for a head's up (due to all the dogs in caring for) is always considered and considerate. Highly recommend! Top of the line stand up service you can depend on!”

  • Pattie R.

    “Big Business Scoopers has been fantastic! They are always professional, reliable, and great with my dogs when they see them in the yard. I really appreciate that they always let us know when they’re on their way. It’s one less thing to worry about, and they do an excellent job every time. Highly recommend!”

  • Katelyn S.

    “Ever since having my 2nd set of twins and lacking the time I used to have to do it myself, Greyson and the Big Business Scoopers team come every week now to help keep my yard clean and free of two dogs' worth of waste! They are reliable, communicative and thorough. Emily is very easy to work with and reasonably priced. I would recommend this team to anyone with a dog!”
