Walking dogs in TQ12, 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 Newton Abbot the houses come with boot rooms and the dogs come with mud — settled streets, working owners, walks owed daily. Day care and boarding do quietly well in towns like this — holidays happen every year, and kennels are exactly what these owners are avoiding. Puppies follow moving vans as surely as spring follows winter, and this patch moves roughly 935 households in a normal year.

The parking. Out here kerb space is rarely fought over, and estate pickups usually hand the van a drive. Client-to-client hops are short enough that fuel barely registers — town rounds run lean. Somewhere behind the name Aller Park 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 TQ12 works around Newton Abbot, Kingsteignton, Buckland, Newtake and Aller Park. Around 25,178 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.
