Walking dogs in OL5, 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. Around Mossley the semis have drives and proper gardens; nearer Micklehurst the streets tighten — and a labrador is asleep in half the kitchens either way. Garden let-outs and puppy visits fill the edges of the day; the core is the group walk, and streets like these supply it five dogs at a time. New faces arrive at a steady drip — 223 completions in the latest recorded year — and none of them bring a dog walker with them.

The parking. Open frontages and driveways do most of the work here, with the odd tight pocket near the shops. Parking loses this round no time at all, which is one quiet reason full suburban diaries stay full. Dense streets make the green-space run part of the craft: pickups on foot, then the van to wherever the real space is, and back for doorstep drop-offs.

The round. The round in OL5 works around Mossley, Micklehurst, Roaches, Mossley Brow and Bottoms. Around 5,193 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.
