Our Story

First on the scene. First to scoop.

Doing Our Doody is a small, family-run pet waste removal company rooted in Longview, Texas. Our founder, Willum, is a career first responder and a full-time business owner β€” our crew runs routes five days a week across every community we serve. Everything we do is built on the values that first responders live by.

Meet Willum

A first responder who couldn't stop showing up for his neighbors.

Willum has spent his career running toward the things most people run from. As a first responder, he learned something early on: the small, steady, reliable people are the ones who keep a community standing. When the sirens stop and the trucks go home, it's the neighbor who keeps showing up that matters.

In 2023, Willum started Doing Our Doody as a way to keep serving his neighbors in a smaller β€” but no less important β€” way. He noticed how many families were missing out on their own yards, how many dog parks were struggling, how many apartment complexes couldn't find a reliable partner. So he picked up a rake, loaded up his truck, and got to work.

Today, Doing Our Doody serves yards all across East and West Texas, running routes five days a week in every community we cover. The mission hasn't changed: show up when we say we will, do the work like it's our own yard, and treat every customer the way we'd want our own family treated.

Why It Matters

The first responder difference.

Being first responder-owned isn't a slogan we print on the truck. It's the standard Willum holds himself and every member of the team to, every single visit.

Show up on time, every time.

When someone dials 911, a minute feels like an hour. That habit of urgency carries over to every yard we book β€” we arrive when we say we will, and you'll get a text when we're en route.

Safety first, every job.

Pet-safe, kid-safe, lawn-safe. We only use eco-friendly products because the animals and families who live in these yards deserve the same protection we'd want for our own.

Community over transactions.

We live here. Our kids play in these yards. That makes every customer a neighbor, and every job something we put our name on proudly.

Follow through, no excuses.

If you're not 100% satisfied, we come back and make it right. No paperwork, no pushback, no awkward phone call. Just the answer you'd want to hear.

Leave it better than we found it.

We don't just pick up after your pets β€” we dispose of everything responsibly, off-site, and in a way that respects your yard and the Texas land we all share.

Local, always.

Owned, operated, and rooted in Texas. When you call, you reach a real person who lives nearby, not a call center three states over.

Family Business

A family effort, on every level.

Willum's kids were the first crew members. They helped design the yard signs, the truck decals, and even tested the scoopers on the back lawn. Doing Our Doody was never meant to be a big corporation β€” it's a family business, built the old-fashioned way, one happy customer at a time.

When you hire us, you're not just getting a clean yard. You're backing a family that believes in hard work, community service, and doing right by the people who trust us with their property.
