I’m Erica Krupin, and in 2018 I launched Kroopin’s Poopin Scoopin’ with just a rake, a bucket, some trash bags, and my 2007 Chevy Cobalt. What started as a part-time gig scooping dog poop quickly grew into a thriving dog waste removal business that serves my community and inspired me to coach other entrepreneurs. After leaving my 14-year hospital job, I began sharing my journey on YouTube—and today I continue to document the real, unfiltered truth of building a business in this unique industry.
