Lewiston-Auburn's Twin City Market
Lewiston and Auburn function as a twin-city community separated by the Androscoggin River, and their dog walking market is an integrated one with walkers serving clients across both cities. Lewiston has historically been one of Maine's most economically challenged cities, but it has been undergoing meaningful revitalization driven partly by the arrival of a significant Somali and other African immigrant community that has diversified and revitalized the city's character.
The professional walking market in Lewiston-Auburn is developing rather than mature. As the city's economic fortunes improve and its population diversifies, expectations for professional services are gradually increasing.
