Our friends
The people we send our own clients to
Dog-friendly buildings, vets who pick up at 2 a.m., groomers who know a nervous dog when they see one. Nobody pays to be on this list. What we hope for instead is a good word travelling back: when one of their clients asks who walks dogs around here, we would like to be the answer.
