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 />
