If you live in Shrewsbury and you've been hunting for a reliable dog waste pickup service, you've found it. Tidy Tails serves all of Shrewsbury (63119) at a flat $70/month for weekly service — no per-dog fees, no yard-size upcharges, no lock-in contracts.
Shrewsbury is a compact inner-ring suburb tucked between Webster Groves, Maplewood, and Crestwood. It's a working-class-to-professional community where dual-income households are the norm and nobody has time to spend a Sunday afternoon cleaning up after their dogs. That's exactly who we serve.

Why Shrewsbury Dog Owners Call Us
1. Nobody Reliable Has Been Serving 63119
National pet waste franchises deprioritize smaller inner-ring suburbs like Shrewsbury. They run routes for maximum efficiency, which usually means dense outer-suburban neighborhoods. Shrewsbury gets skipped or shows up with patchy coverage. We built our routes specifically to include South County's inner-ring communities — Shrewsbury, Maplewood, Crestwood, Webster Groves — because that's where the demand is.
2. Commuter Households Don't Have Time for Weekend Yard Work
Shrewsbury has a lot of households where both partners work downtown or in Clayton. The Metro-Link station on Laclede Station Road makes it a commuter hub. By Friday evening, nobody wants to spend Saturday morning cleaning up the yard. $70/month is less than two Starbucks runs a week. It's a no-brainer.
3. Compact Yards Fill Up Fast
Shrewsbury lots tend to run smaller than West County. A 400-600 sq ft fenced yard with one dog generates 300 deposits a year — roughly one per day. Two dogs doubles it. Let that go for a month and the yard becomes a minefield. Let it go all winter and you're looking at 75-100 piles all surfacing at once in March. We come every week so it never gets to that point.
4. The "On My Way" Text Nobody Else Sends
Every visit, we text you when we're heading over. Every visit, we text you when we're done — with a photo of the clean yard. No other pet waste service in South County does this consistently. You know we came, you know what the yard looks like, and you didn't have to be there.
5. Flat Rate Regardless of Dog Count or Yard Size
One dog, three dogs, small yard, larger yard — the pricing structure is transparent and predictable. No surprise invoices. No "actually your yard is bigger so it's more." You know what you're paying when you sign up, and it doesn't change.

What Shrewsbury Customers Say
"We have two dogs and a small fenced yard on the east side of Shrewsbury near Webster. The yard was getting out of hand and I kept putting off cleaning it. One text to Tidy Tails and we were on the schedule that week. Now I don't even think about it. The 'on my way' text is a nice touch — I always know they came."
"I work weird hours and the yard was always the last thing on my list. Did the spring cleanup first — it was $75 for the whole thing, fast, and they texted me the before/after. Signed up for weekly the same day. Worth every dollar."
