Walking dogs in IV9, 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. Mud to the hubs in November, glory in May — IV9 is lane-and-village country with a dog at nearly every gate. Keep turning up in all weathers and the parish does the marketing — a trusted walker gets handed from neighbour to neighbour for decades out here.

The parking. Nobody out here has ever paid to park — the question is never the kerb, it's the miles between gates. Long drives mean proper handovers — a minute with the owner, a note about the gate code — and a client relationship city rounds never build. The walking is on the doorstep in every direction; what a rural walker actually manages is mud season, livestock and the light.

The round. The round in IV9 works around The Dock, Killen and Avoch. Around 614 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.
