Josh has been looking after our Dog for the past 5+ years an we couldnt wish for anyone better to look after her. Hes always accommodating, easy to get a hold of, helpful and its now at the point that we see him as a family friend. Always happy and very responsible. The world needs more people like Josh. There is no-one better to look after your Dog. Thanks for everything Josh.

Our mucky pups can't wait to go with Josh to the farm. The photos Josh takes shows them clearly enjoying their time haring around. Great service from Josh.

Josh is amazing! Our dog Ruairidh (Ru) loves going for his walks or day care with Walk This Way and comes back so happy. Josh is always punctual and accommodating - especially for any short notice walks and clearly loves taking the dogs on adventures around the farm. Thoroughly recommend.
