Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Dover

Wooster Ave

Check out the Bread Head Bistro in downtown Dover for a great pet-friendly meal out. There are seven outdoor tables here where your pup can relax comfortably at your feet while you enjoy your lunch or dinner. Bread Head Bistro specialises in American-style food and has a great variety – from burgers, to salads, bowls, wraps or grills. They also serve an impressive list of drinks, both hot and cold. Softies Icecream is close by and a puptastic place for a sweet treat. Take a seat out the back at one of their pet-friendly tables and enjoy a soft serve, sundae or milkshake, or one of their savoury selections.

West Dover

The Norma Johnson Centre is another must-see while you are in Dover. Situated just to the western side of the town, the 303 acres offers over six miles of dog-friendly hiking trails that are suitable for the whole family, as well as numerous activities and opportunities to learn more about conservation and land management. The trails are well maintained and signposted for easy navigation, with a favourite being the Conservation Loop Trail extending from the parking area, across bridges and through both the woodland and wetland areas. The Norma Johnson Centre welcomes pets to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the whole park, the only request is that you keep your pup leashed and clean up any mess he leaves behind.

Eberhart Rd NW

The Canal Lands Park in the northeast of Dover is a great spot to jump onto the Zoar Valley Trail that runs 20 miles from Schoenbrunn to the Fort Laurens State Memorial in Bolivar. This trail is part of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail network. There is plenty of parking here and information on the trail at the entrance. Keep a look out for the four disused canal locks and the Route 82 Bridge at Zoar, erected in 1883, and now a pedestrian bridge on the Zoar Valley Trail. Dogs are welcome to enjoy the trail with you, but keep your buddy on a leash at all times. Bring water, clean up bags and any food you might like along the way.

Dundee

Take your pup for a walk over at the Dundee Falls Trail, just 11 miles north west of Dover. The 2.4 mile out-and-back trail showcases scenic landscapes of cliffs, a lake, creeks, and of course, the falls. Bring your camera as there are some spectacular photo opportunities along the way. Dogs must be kept leashed as they enjoy the trail with you, and make sure you clean up any waste your pup leaves. As the terrain can be a little rugged in places, wear appropriate footwear, bring plenty of water for you both and pack some bug spray in warmer weather. Please note, this is also a hunting area, so check the seasonal information before heading out.

Southeast Mineral City

Atwood Lake Park has something for everyone, even a designated off-leash area for your pup! The fenced area has benches for you to relax at while you supervise, waste disposal stations and water fountains for both humans and canines. Outside the dog park there is plenty more to see and do at Atwood Lake Park, including nature trails and hikes. Maps are available at the Activity Centre so you can plan your walk and make the most of your visit. There are many activities on offer here for the two-legged kids too, such as swimming at the lake beach, fishing, exploring the nature centre, having fun at the playground, or playing ball on the courts. There is a small gate fee, so bring some change.
