Radius for service?

I live in an area with very windy roads. 10 miles away is often 15 miles and almost 30 minutes of driving. I had my radius set to about 10 miles and I was honestly driving for some of my walks and visits longer than the visit itself. I recently added house sitting onto my list of things to do and set it to a 15 mile range. Given that I set my price high and I was okay with driving 30-45 minutes to house sit. The problem is now I am getting dog walking and drop in requests at the edge of my range. I just had someone who wants me to walk their dog once a day for 30 minutes with a 45 minute drive each way. I had in dog walking a 9 mile radius. I checked and it was 15. Is there a way to set this up so each service is has its own range? Why does it have a map under each service with a distance if I can't change them individually ?

Service area settings are global and cannot be set per service as you know. They also cover the area set "as the crow flies" not driving distance. If you wish to drive less, set your area to 5 miles, and try to market your business local. it does take time, sometimes a long time to build a solid profitable client base
