Walking dogs in DH3, 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. In and around Chester-le-Street the houses come with boot rooms and the dogs come with mud — settled streets, working owners, walks owed daily. New-build closes on the edge of Chester-le-Street are puppy country — first dogs, full-time jobs, and a walker's number saved before the kettle is unpacked. The latest recorded year logged about 521 completions in this district — and where a dog rides in the removal van, a diary slot usually follows.
The parking. Access barely makes the list of problems in Chester-le-Street — estate drives, calm kerbs, and only the old middle needing thought. Client-to-client hops are short enough that fuel barely registers — town rounds run lean. Green space is a short drive at most here — town rounds keep an urban pace with country walking at the end of it.
The round. The round in DH3 works around Chester-le-Street, Barley Mow, Portobello, North Side and Canada. Around 12,162 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 DH3 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.
