Meet the Business Owner

David L.

Business Owner

My love of animals started at a young age as I grew up in a home full of a variety of pets (dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, a ferret, a canary and even a squirrel) over the years. I got a BBA in Marketing. Prior to starting Jol​lyRu​fusWalks​.com, I worked for a variety of print and web companies doing print/​web design, programming and online/​offline marketing.

I still do some contract web/​print design (www​.Jol​lyRu​fus​De​signs​.com). Working from home doing contract jobs, I had been asked by neighbors and friends if could help take care of their pets while they were at work or away for a few days. I enjoyed bringing a little ‘Jolly’ happiness and exercises to these dogs/​pets and thought — Hey, lets expand this into a larger venture! So, Rufus and I started Jol​lyRu​fusWalks​.com to give all these ‘Jolly’ dogs in the Wilmington area the exercise and potty break they need, require and deserve while their owners are hard at work, or away from home.
