Dog Walkers in Strausstown, PA

About: Hi, I'm Emily and I've been caring for dogs, horses & livestock for over 15 years around the Northern Berks and Lebanon County areas. I grew up around Australian Heelers helping with birthing mothers and puppies. I currently own a Toy Fox Terrier/Toy Aussie Shepherd mix named "Ranger". I've worked for several horse farms in the area including Mountain Spring Arena in Shartelsville and Maple Crest Sport Horses in Myerstown since I was 16. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, ride and muck stalls for their pets both large and small. References available! I can take your beloved pet (family member) on a nice walk around your neighborhood or to the groomer. Does your dog have a favorite toy? We can play with that too!! If you're only looking for someone to come into the home to feed/potty your dog 1-3 times daily, I do that too. Please contact me with any questions! I'm a traveling in-home caregiver for Northern Berks and Lebanon county; hence, I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to fit in drop-in and dog walking visits between my clients. Safety and Environment will vary depending on which service the owner is requesting. Safety is #1 no matter the situation! Drop-in visits: the dog is in his/her familiar yard. Owner will have to specify how the dog best goes out during meet and greet. Walks: For multiple dogs, owner needs to also specify if dog(s) walk nicely and can be taken out together.

“Sydney was always prompt at arriving for our dog's walk. She gave Chase extra attention since he was apprehensive about his new substitute walker. You can tell Sydney loves dogs and enjoys spending time with them. She will be my first choice whenever I need another substitute walker for Chase! Definitely recommend her.”

About: Hi there! I’m Alyssa, an animal lover with a passion for giving pets the care and attention they deserve. Whether your dog loves to play fetch, snuggle on the couch, or go for long walks, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you're away. I’ve got experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Rest easy knowing your pet is in good hands, I'll treat them like family! I am a Paraprofessional who is home for the summer break! Since I am home, I am flexible and can fit to your scheduling needs! At our home, we prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for every pet. We have one dog, Obi, and one cat, both of whom are used to having visitors. Obi is always excited to meet new friends and loves playtime, while our cat is more independent and enjoys keeping to herself, but she’s used to having dogs around. When caring for pets in our home, we ensure walks are safe by always leashing our pup, and we use a lead for supervised outdoor play and potty breaks in the backyard. Obi is crated when we leave the house, ensuring he’s safe and secure. He has access to his food bowl throughout the day, allowing him to graze at his own pace. However, we’re happy to accommodate any special feeding routines or requests to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for.

I make sure they are fed on time, groomed regularly, and given plenty of attention and playtime. I also pay close attention to their health and well-being, noticing any changes in their behavior or appearance. My gentle and caring nature helps them feel safe and comfortable, making me a great caregiver for my new furry friends. I am at home full time so I have all the time to give your pets the attention and love they need anytime throughout the day! I have a fenced in yard. A 3 story house that has tons of room for your fur babies to run around. I have tons cats toys, scratching posts and boards, and towers for the kitties!

About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life, there’s always been a dog in my household. When I moved out on my own I had my first cat. I have done everything from bathing, cutting nails, pilling, to bottle feeding kittens. I currently have three dogs and six cats. I am comfortable and familiar with walking dogs, feeding dogs (up to six at a time), play time visits, feeding cats, cleaning litter boxes, feeding & caring for small critters such as mice, giving out treats, cutting nails. All requests welcome! I work 100% remote and my schedule is very flexible! Reach out to me with your needs and we can work together to make the best fit for us both! My animals are not short on affection or attention. I typically take my dogs on one walk a day coupled with hours of free time in the back yard. My kitties get special play time separate from the dogs and are snuggled to their liking. For my clients I spend a minimum of 30 minutes on my visits allowing the pups to get their zoomies out and get lots of pets.

About: I have 20 years experience with mostly dogs while i have some cat experience. I would love to help care for your pets daily , weekly, monthly or once a year if needed. It is my personal goal to take excellent care of your pets so you can have peace of mind while away. Animals are just so loving and appreciate every little bit of love and care you give them. In my years of experience with pets I have learned so much from my big dogs and my little shitzhu. My whole family is very pet oriented. Two of my children work in animal rescue and training. So anything I dont know I can learn from them. I hope you will consider me to be your dog Walker and pet sitter.

She’s absolutely amazing with communication and letting you know what’s going on! She’s truly an amazing person to have watching your dogs, I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Marian was very willing to provide her dog walking services on such a short notice after I had a previous plan backfire on me. While I couldn't meet her beforehand, we put in a plan for her to get my keys so she can meet Bandit and take him for walks. She was very professional and from what I can tell, Bandit enjoyed his time with her and the walks. Highly recommend Marian and will definitely be using her for future needs!”
