Here are the twelve questions I'd ask anyone, including us, before letting them onto my property.
Operations
1. Locally-owned and operated?
2. Same technician every visit?
3. Service standard in writing?
4. Photo proof after every visit?
5. What happens if I'm not satisfied?
Pricing & contract
6. What does a standard visit cost? Single dog weekly should be ~$85.
7. Discounts? Ours: 10% senior, 10% prepay.
8. Contract or month-to-month?
9. What's included beyond scooping?
Trust
10. Insured and bonded? Ask for proof.
11. How do you handle my dogs during visits?
12. Can I see reviews from my specific city?
If they dodge on insurance, same-tech, or photo proof, keep shopping.
