🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE 🚨
Hello everyone, I hope you all are well. Apologies in advance for the long post ahead.
First of all, I hope you, your loved ones and all your lovely dogs had a fantastic Christmas and New Year!
Now on to the next bit, unfortunately I have some less than good news to share.
The long and short of it is that over the time I’ve been taking a break for Christmas and New Year, I’ve been having a close look at my finances and such and after a LOT of thought, among other things, I’m afraid to say that I’m simply not making enough money to continue offering my services.
I have of course thought about increasing my prices but given the cost of living crisis and the fact that I am still in my first year of business, I do not feel comfortable charging any more than I am currently.
Unfortunately due to some changes in personal circumstances I no longer have the luxury of time to keep going and see how things pan out, and as a result I will be actively seeking to return to full time employment as of the end of January. This is to try and give you all a bit of time to try and find another walker for your dogs - there are several fantastic pet service providers locally, please don’t hesitate to ask and I’ll point you in the right direction.
I’m truly very sorry to be letting you all down. I‘ve loved spending time with your dogs and creating bonds with them, and seeing all their different characters and personalities. I will miss every single one.
I’d like to end with a sincere thank you for placing your trust and faith in me to look after your dogs, and for welcoming me into your homes. It‘s meant the world.
Apologies again, and I entirely understand if you find another walker sooner rather than later for your own peace of mind. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of any help.
For those of you who have left a key in my possession, I will seek to arrange with you an appropriate time to return your keys in person.
NOTE: I know not everyone is on Facebook or will see this post, so I will be sending an email to every client I have on my books in order to make sure that everyone is aware and can make appropriate arrangements for their dogs.
Many thanks, Scott.
