Welcome to Premium Dog Walkers
It’s now early April 2020 and the UK, like most of the rest of the world, is in lockdown due to the Coronavirus. Since self employed dog walkers have for the most part closed their businesses for the time being, I like many others have found we have more time on our hands.
Since we are now not supposed to leave the house for more than one local exercise session a day it seemed a good time to put my web design skills to some use. Premium Dog Walkers is the result. There are still some design and content tweaks I need to make but nothing major that needs to stop me from starting the blog. Read on for what the aim for Premium Dog Walkers is going forward.
Why I started Premium Dog Walkers
I started my own pet services business back in early 2017. It’s called Northampton Dog Walker and is doing really well. Others who were interested in starting their own dog walking business would contact me and ask for advice and ask questions. Some even asked if I would design them a website and get it to rank on Google in their location. I’ve since designed about 15 or so websites for other dog walkers.
So why did I start another pet services website?
- Northampton Dog Walker is naturally a domain that will always relate to pet services in the town of Northampton. If I ever decide to move to another part of the country and I wish to continue offering pet services it may make sense to have another domain that I can do this with.
- I’ve started to get lots of pet transport enquiries. I may decide to switch to pet transport until we know more about how Covid will impact the demand on local pet services.
- I know someone locally who may be interested in taking on my Northampton Dog clients so it makes sense to have another domain should I return to offering dog walking, pet sitting and dog boarding.
Our Future Plans
It’s early days and I’m still deciding what direction to take Premium Dog Walkers. The chances are we will focus more on the pet sitting and dog boarding parts of the business and only offer 2-3 dog walking slots a day. With Northampton Dog Walker I would often find myself doing 6+ dog walks a day.
Depending on future demand for pet services I may look to take on someone reliable who wants to offer pet services under the Premium Dog Walkers name. I am getting enquiries for web design and SEO so it may make sense to have another reliable person who can offer pet services within Northampton.
I will use this blog to update you on our future plans as well as sharing some articles that Northampton pet owners will find useful.
