In this episode of the Built Local Podcast, we sit down with Adam, founder of Dog Doody Patrol, to break down how he built a purpose-driven poop scooping business from the ground up.

What started as an idea to help reduce dog surrenders and save animals’ lives turned into a growing local service business with 80+ recurring customers — all built through consistency, branding, and going above and beyond for every client.

Adam shares how he slowly grew the business while working a 9 to 5, the moment he went all-in, and how simple strategies like Facebook groups, truck branding, and community involvement helped him scale.

If you're starting (or thinking about starting) a home service business, this episode is packed with real, practical advice you can apply immediately.
