  Static pre-launch sitemap for thedoggydesk.co.uk.

  Sitter / walker profile URLs are intentionally omitted while every active
  profile in the DB is still seed data (UUID 00000XXX-...). Once real
  sitters sign up post-launch, Path B (dynamic sitemap, BUGS.md punchlist)
  takes over and generates fresh URLs at request time, filtered by
  is_seed=false. Don't add seed sitter URLs here — Google would crawl them,
  the withSeedFilter would block render in production, and the resulting
  404-like state would hurt SEO trust.

  Town SEO landing pages (/dog-boarding/[town]) added 15 May 2026 once
  Stefan confirmed they're indexable (per BUGS.md "Town landing-page
  internal linking + sitemap inclusion roadmap"). All 10 launch towns
  listed; if a town's directory has zero sitters in production, the
  page still renders a useful empty-state with the founder story,
  costs breakdown, walking-areas section, and waitlist form — fine
  to be crawled and indexed.

  /for-owners → /find-dog-sitting rename (14 May 2026): old URL 404s
  and is omitted; new URL replaces it here.

  Parked routes intentionally NOT listed:
    /search  — owner marketplace parked until V2 density
    /join    — legacy guest invite route, not for organic indexing
