Walking dogs in OX4, 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. This is Oxford suburbia as the trade loves it — three-bed semis, gardens front and back, two working owners, one dog with strong opinions about being left. The new-build corners run on puppy time: young professionals, first dogs, full-time jobs — a walker gets booked before the turf has taken. People put roots down here — the latest recorded year managed only around 550 sales — and rooted households keep one walker for a dog's whole lifetime.

The parking. The van goes off-road at most estate addresses; the older corners just want a sensible collection order. Van on the drive, dog through the side gate, gate bolted after — collection as easy as this trade gets. The walking here is streets first — crossings drilled, loops varied — with the open-space trip earning its place as the day's main event.

The round. The round in OX4 works around Cowley, Blackbird Leys, Littlemore, Rose Hill and Headington Hill. Around 23,899 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.
