Luis was super friendly, prompt, knowledgeable, and thorough when we hired Waste Wranglers to clean our large chicken coop. We're so happy we found his services and are looking forward to rebooking soon. We even made sure to share about Waste Wranglers on our neighborhood message board. Thank you so much, Luis!

Absolutely amazing service! We've used his services twice now, and both experiences have been fantastic! From the very first visit, he was incredibly thorough and made sure every bit of dog waste was picked up, leaving our backyard spotless. What really impressed us was the extra touch of spraying the yard with a deodorizing solution that left everything smelling fresh! Our second visit was just as great! He was quick, efficient, and made the entire process effortless. He's also extremely easy to work with, reliable, and his communication is a 10/10! You can tell he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing great service. Highly recommend to anyone with dogs!

We cannot say enough good things about Luis. He does our waste pickup and consistently does an outstanding job every single time. We have three dogs, and he is always thorough, reliable, and detail oriented. His communication is truly on point. He's responsive, easy to reach, and always available when we need him, which we really appreciate. On top of that, he goes above and beyond. He also cleans out our chicken coop and handles the chicken waste, which is incredibly convenient for us since we're both very busy. Having someone we trust to take care of all of this makes a huge difference. Luis is professional, friendly, dependable, and clearly takes pride in his work. If you're looking for someone reliable who delivers great service and makes your life easier, we highly recommend him.
