Alexandria isn’t just home to history and culture; it’s also the birthplace of a new, creative solution for pet owners. Meet Tyler and Jackson, two sophomores from Alexandria City High School, who’ve turned a common pet-owner chore into a thriving business: The Poop Brothers, a poop pick-up service dedicated to keeping local yards clean.

In a recent interview, the two local teens shared the inspiration behind their enterprise and their plans for the future.

Tyler: We were approached by the founders of Poop Brothers who started a business when they were around our age and then needed to pass the business along as they moved on to college.

Jackson: We then expanded on the idea and created a new website, email address, and easier payment method. We were both really excited to get involved in owning a business and helping families with pets in our community.

Q: How does your service work?
 Jackson: It’s straightforward. Pet owners can visit our website, thepoopbrothers.com, to schedule a visit. We have a regular weekly service.

Tyler: We show up, clean up, and leave the yard spotless and the gate locked. It’s hassle-free for our customers and great for their pets.

Q: What’s been the response from the community?
 Tyler: It’s been amazing! People love the convenience, and they like supporting local teens who are working hard.

Q: Do you see yourselves expanding the business?
 Jackson: Definitely. We would love to employ more neighborhood teens and expand to neighboring communities.

Q: What’s one thing you’ve learned so far?
 Jackson: Running a business takes more effort than you might think, but it’s really rewarding.

Tyler: And customer service is key—happy customers keep us going.

With enthusiasm, a clear vision, and a commitment to their community, Jackson and Tyler are proving that even a messy job can have a bright future. If your yard needs cleaning, why not support these local entrepreneurs? Visit https://thepoopbrothers.com/
