A UNIQUE business for dog owners is growing and welcoming new customers "all the time".
Marilyn's Meadow is a five-acre secure field that is quiet and undisturbed and gives dog owners the opportunity to book their own exclusive slot to exercise their dogs.
After a year of researching, planning and sheer hard work, the first field to book exclusively to exercise your dog safely and securely in Hereford opened in November.
The field is a long-held dream of local businesswoman Sara Jane Sarzo of Mobile Care and Clean and her husband, Andrew.

They dedicated the field in name to one of their best friends, Marilyn, who sadly lost her battle with cancer on Christmas Day 2020.
Since its launch the couple's customer base has continued to grow.
"We are growing organically and welcoming new customers all the time," said Mrs Sarzo.
They now have a good register of regulars that book weeks in advance and secure block bookings visiting once and twice a week.
"We get many referrals and word of mouth has been fantastic," she said.

They even offer birthday and Christmas parties for dogs.
For summer they plan to put a hosepipe, paddling pool, and shades for the warmer weather in place.
"Pooch and pup parties are popular."
Their Facebook and Instagram presence is growing well, and feedback and comments are excellent, said Mr Sarzo.
"Our website attracts good traffic and bookings arrive every day."
