Janice Halford @ Paws for Walks Area: Durham, North East Contact Details | Interview | Testimonials Interview with... Janice Halford @ Paws for Walks
Which pet service/s do you offer?	Dog walking, small pet care and home boarding, which is the home from home alternative to kennels. However, we are very flexible and can nearly always accommodate the owners requests.
If you offer dog sitting or walking, please tell us some specifics.	When I am walking dogs I like to walk up to 4 at a time, collecting them in my dog friendly van and taking them somewhere really nice to walk, eg river or country walks are a favourite. They always have a fun, sociable walk for approximately 45 minutes after which they are happy to be cleaned up then go back in the van for the homeward journey. When dogs come to stay with us we only accept one dog at a time or 2 if from the same family, so they do get that special attention they are used to at home.
What are your opening hours?	Thats a good one!! Pets don't know the meaning of the word closed.
How long have you run your business for (in months or years)?	3 wonderful years now.
What type of pet/s do you have yourself?	I had 3 dogs until 6 weeks ago when I lost my old faithful companion, Milo, who was 16. I now have Zara, the Ridgeback, and Jack (you guessed it, the Jack Russell). I inherited Jack from one of my elderly clients, who could no longer look after him as she would like and I wouldn't be without him now. I also have 2 rescue rabbits and 2 rescue guinea pigs.
Do you have any recommendations to other pet owners?	Just to love and enjoy your pets.
Do you have any dreams for the future?	Perhaps to have a day off occasionally, but apart from that I am happy as I am.

We have two young Laboradors that need plenty of exercise. When they have been walked by Janice they are happy, tired and well behaved. The walks give them the opportunity to socialise with other dogs and gives us piece of mind that our dogs are in good hands! I would highly recommend Janice if you are considering using a dog walking service. Francesca Metcalfe and Paul Holmes

We have used Janice for over a year now, and the service provided is excellent. We have a 2 1/2 yr old collieX who loves his walks. I can go out during the day and know that he is going to have more fun than me! We have also used Janice for dog boarding and the only concern I had was that Murphy wouldn't want to come home after spending 3 weeks with Janice & her family. Jo Johnson

We have been using paws for walks for nearly 3 years, we have a Springer spaniel who needs plenty of exercise, I can not speak highly enough of the service we received, they have looked after "Molly" at a moments notice without hesitation, they looked after her as if she was one of their own pets, I have recommended this company to friends who have pets, who now use pawsforwalks.
