Aberdeen's Regional Hub Market
Aberdeen is the largest city in northeastern South Dakota and serves as the regional hub for a vast agricultural area. Northern State University and the Avera St. Luke's and Sanford Health medical facilities create a professional community with stable incomes and above-average pet ownership. The city's community character is tight-knit and relationship-based.
The professional dog walking market in Aberdeen is almost entirely referral-based. Personal relationships and community trust determine which walkers succeed, and platform technology has minimal presence in this market.

The Glacial Lakes region surrounding Aberdeen provides weekend access to beautiful prairie pothole lakes and natural areas that define the northeastern South Dakota landscape.
