Walker mows the lawn of<br />
a client in Beverly.<br />
going to kill a mouse,’” Walker<br />
said, adding that it was for moral<br />
reasons. “So for the next 20<br />
minutes, I was running around<br />
the basement doing my absolute<br />
best to catch this mouse. I finally<br />
caught it, and so I just picked it<br />
up in a container and I brought it<br />
out to the woods and just dropped<br />
it off.”<br />
According to Walker, the<br />
business has successfully expanded<br />
through word of mouth and<br />
referrals.<br />
“The progression of the<br />
business has been insane,” Walker<br />
said. “I have been getting nonstop<br />
clients, which I am forever<br />
grateful for.”<br />
Walker recognizes that summers<br />
near the end of one’s college<br />
career are typically reserved for<br />
internships or anything that<br />
will get their “foot in the door.”<br />
But with the business’ success,<br />
continuing next summer and<br />
beyond is not out of the question.<br />
