Walking dogs in AB12, 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 Portlethen — long drives behind stock fences, and dogs left minding empty houses while their owners work in town. Mud is the uniform from October to March — towels in the van, a hose-down offered at the door, and clients who love you for both.

The parking. An unlocked field gate and a gravel sweep count as access out here; the real puzzle is the route plan. Tractors, floods and gateway mud all get a vote — a padded schedule keeps every dog's hour honest. No shortage of ground out here — the skill is reading it: which lanes flood, which fields carry sheep, where the ground holds a pack safely.

The round. The round in AB12 works around Portlethen, Cove Bay, Kincorth, Altens and Tullos. Around 12,196 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.
