Walking dogs in RG20, 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. Villages and scattered one-offs surround Shepherd's Hill — long drives behind stock fences, and dogs left minding empty houses while their owners work in town. Stock fields set the rules: leads around livestock, closed gates left closed — and a walker the farmers trust is a walker the whole parish uses. Only 214 sales made the record books in the latest year; what a round loses in new faces it gains in regulars who never leave — and in owners who retire into booking holiday boarding instead of daily walks.
The parking. Wardens don't exist on this patch; what budgets the day is the distance from one booking to the next. 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 whole patch is walking country — the currency is local knowledge, not access.
The round. The round in RG20 works around Shepherd's Hill, Downend, Broad Layings, Horsemoor and Old Burghclere. Around 7,968 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.

| Local going rates from our regional price model. The RG20 holder sets their own prices — we never touch the money. | |
What owning RG20 is actually worth
Put it the way you'd put it at the park gate: one kept dog pays for the page several times over, every single year. And unlike an app, the second dog doesn't cost you a penny more.
