Walking dogs in CR7, 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. Terrace country around Thornton Heath: a cockapoo in the front bay, a staffie behind the yard gate, and both overdue their walk by eleven. Doorstep pickups are the whole art: a narrow hall, an excited dog, a lead clipped before the door is fully open — and the next client four doors down. Settled ground, by the numbers — around 429 recorded sales a year — where the round renews itself from inside the same houses: second dogs, repeat puppies, grandchildren's spaniels.
The parking. Meters, permits and cameras — assume all three, and plan the pack's pickup order around them rather than against them. Gold on a pack day is the client with a driveway or a spare visitor permit — worth asking about at every meet-and-greet. Somewhere behind the name Thornton Heath 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 CR7 works around Thornton Heath and Norbury. Around 16,815 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.

What owning CR7 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.
