Walking dogs in RG17, 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 — RG17 is lane-and-village country with a dog at nearly every gate. Boarding is the country earner — holidays, lambing-season weekends, hospital stays — a spare room and a good name fill a calendar out here. New faces arrive at a steady drip — 227 completions in the latest recorded year — and none of them bring a dog walker with them.

The parking. Generous parking at every single address — and never a next client two doors down. Country diaries reward patience: longer visits, fewer of them, each worth more than a town dash. Somewhere behind the name Winding Wood is the green that named it; a good walker knows by the end of week one whether this patch kept its space or walks out to find some.

The round. The round in RG17 works around Hungerford, Straight Soley, Winding Wood, Lambourn Woodlands and Lambourn. Around 6,867 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.
