We provide weekly and biweekly pet waste removal across the Lake Norman area—Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, and Mooresville. Whether you're near Birkdale Village or out by Jetton Road, we keep your yard clean.

Lake Norman's lakefront lifestyle comes with a catch for dog owners: many waterfront communities and HOA neighborhoods have strict pet waste enforcement because runoff into the lake is an environmental concern. Several HOAs issue fines for unscooped waste, and it's a perennial hot-button issue on local Nextdoor groups. If you've gotten a notice — or don't want to — we solve that problem.

The LKN dog scene centers around Lucky Dog Bark & Brew in Cornelius at 19607 Statesville Road — the only venue where your dog can play off-leash indoors while you grab a beer. It's become the unofficial community hub for Lake Norman dog owners. Harp & Crown in Cornelius has 20 pet-friendly outdoor tables. Summit Coffee in Davidson and Huntersville has dog-friendly patios for the morning crowd.

Swaney Pointe K-9 Park at Ramsey Creek Park in Cornelius has 4 acres of fenced off-leash space — separate areas for big and small dogs. Free admission, open 7 AM - 8 PM. Davidson's Preserve Dog Park requires a town-issued dog tag, so get your tag at Town Hall before heading over.

Latta Nature Preserve in Huntersville has 16 miles of trails with scenic views of Mountain Island Lake. Lake Norman State Park near Mooresville has nearly 8 miles of hiking trails plus 30.5 miles of biking trails. Dogs on 6-foot leash at both.

The I-77 corridor from Huntersville through Mooresville means we cover the entire LKN area. Waterfront or inland, same flat rate — no upcharge for lakefront properties.

Your weekends belong on the lake, not in the backyard with a bag. $70/month biweekly, $90/month weekly. Earn it down to as low as $45/month with Pack Perks referrals. First cleanup is free.
