A local family business built on hard work, love for animals, and pride in our community.
Tidewater Pet Waste Removal was started right here in Chesapeake, Virginia — born out of a simple frustration shared by every dog owner across Hampton Roads: nobody wants to spend their weekend cleaning up the yard.
Our founder, Steven L., is a proud dog dad and Hampton Roads resident who spent years doing the chore himself before realizing there had to be a better way. After struggling to find a local, reliable pet waste removal service in Chesapeake VA he could trust, he decided to start one himself — built on the values of reliability, transparency, and genuine care for the neighborhoods we serve.
Co-owner Helen L., a U.S. Army veteran now rooted in Chesapeake with her family, brings the same discipline and dedication she carried in uniform to every aspect of the business. Together, they run Tidewater as a true family operation — personally invested in every customer and every yard they service.
We serve dog owners in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and the surrounding Hampton Roads communities. As your neighbors, we understand the local environment — from the summer heat to hurricane season — and we plan our service schedules accordingly. We care about keeping the Chesapeake Bay watershed clean, which is why we dispose of all pet waste responsibly.
We're not a franchise. We're not a national chain. We're your neighbors, and we're in this for the long haul. View our weekly pet waste removal plans to find the right fit for your household.
