What are the responsibilities and job description for the Pet Waste Removal Technician – 4-Day Workweek | $20–$24/hr position at Scoop It Up Dog Waste Removal?
Want a consistent job where you can work independently, stay active throughout the day, and enjoy a 3-day weekend most of the year?
Scoop It Up is a growing pet waste removal company serving Greater Boston and MetroWest, and we are hiring a dependable Route Technician to join our team.
This is an active, outdoor route position. You will drive a company vehicle from property to property, service residential yards, and make sure each customer receives thorough, reliable service every visit.
Why This Job Stands Out
- 4-day workweek most of the year
- Friday, Saturday, and Sunday off most of the year
- $20–$24 per hour, based on experience and demonstrated performance
- Paid training
- Company vehicle provided during work hours
- Tools, equipment, supplies, and uniforms provided

Quality Matters

This position requires someone who can work efficiently without becoming careless.
You will work independently for most of the day, but you will be expected to follow our service process, pay attention to details, and maintain a consistent standard across every property on your route.
We are looking for someone who takes pride in doing the job correctly even when nobody is standing over them.
