What makes a dog walker book out in Leeds
Leeds pairs a dense, walkable inner ring with some of the largest urban parks in the country. Roundhay Park, the Meanwood valley, and Kirkstall give you proper off-lead routes minutes from the terraces of Headingley and Hyde Park. The student belt means a steady stream of owners who want a midday walk while they are on campus or in the office, and the suburbs of Chapel Allerton and Horsforth book regular professional dog-walking work.
