James' Story
I Will Walk Your Dogs As Though They're My Own, Full of Adventure
James has been in the dog walking business before and loved every moment. After going back to working for retail businesses, he decided that being in the outdoors never mind the weather was something that he was missing. James decided to start up his own business in dog walking offering his services to the local community, giving their dogs much deserved adventures around the beautiful countryside.
