Walking dogs in AL4, honestly.

Written dog walker to dog walker. This is the ground truth the apps and lead sites have never stood in — at six in the morning, in the rain.

The doors. Work in Fleetville splits cleanly: courtyard cottages near the centre with no gardens to speak of, estate semis with them, and farm-adjacent places past the sign. Three demand streams feed a town book: cottage dogs with no gardens, estate dogs with bored ones, village dogs whose owners commute. New faces arrive at a steady drip — 392 completions in the latest recorded year — and none of them bring a dog walker with them.

The parking. Permit zones don't exist on this patch — the old middle of Fleetville has market-day moments, the estates have none. Client-to-client hops are short enough that fuel barely registers — town rounds run lean. The van rarely needs ten minutes to reach honest walking ground from any pickup in a town like this.

The round. The round in AL4 works around Fleetville, Marshalswick, Jersey Farm, Roestock and Park Corner. Around 11,109 households live here, and the ones who take a dog walker keep them — five days a week, term time and holidays, years on end. That's not a lead list — that's a round, built once and kept.
