Dover's Seacoast Revitalization
Dover is New Hampshire's largest Seacoast city and has undergone significant downtown revitalization. The former mill buildings along the Cocheco River have been converted to apartments, restaurants, and offices, attracting young professionals who have chosen Dover for its affordability relative to Portsmouth and its improving urban character. This demographic shift has elevated pet ownership and professional service expectations.
The University of New Hampshire in nearby Durham creates an academic community presence that affects pet ownership and service expectations in the greater Dover area. UNH faculty and staff who live in Dover form a consistent professional walking segment.
