Walking dogs in PL9, 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. The dogs of PL9 come cottage-sized and farmhouse-sized, with a comfortable round's worth in between. Three demand streams feed a town book: cottage dogs with no gardens, estate dogs with bored ones, village dogs whose owners commute. Moving vans are regulars here — 671 completions inside the last recorded year — and each family that arrives with a dog arrives without a walker: theirs stayed behind with the old postcode.

The parking. Permit zones don't exist on this patch — the old middle of Sherford has market-day moments, the estates have none. Collection order is the craft: draw the loop once, drive it the same way daily, and the dogs are waiting at their windows on cue. The edge of town is never far in a place this size — most rounds reach open ground within minutes, whichever direction the day starts.

The round. The round in PL9 works around Sherford, Goosewell, Elburton, Pomphlett and Hooe. Around 13,394 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.
