Dog Walkers in Strinestown, PA

About: I’ve had a heart for animals since I was young, and have owned both cats and dogs - ranging from low-energy Pugs to high-energy Boxers - for the majority of my life. My pet care experience mostly includes sitting for friends and family members, and caring for my own dog, a 6-year old Mini Poodle mix. I’ve taken care of senior animals with a variety of health conditions, and have no problem providing medications from pills to eye drops. I also have some experience working with reactive dogs, as my dog deals with reactivity issues. Through a 6-session training course we completed with a professional trainer in the summer of 2025, I’ve learned techniques to improve behavior on walks, as well as a long list of enrichment activities to help your high-energy pups burn energy throughout the day. The best days for me to care for your pet in Lancaster or York are Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. If requested, I may be able to accommodate services in Lancaster on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. I thrive on routines and like to keep somewhat of a normal routine for my dog. This includes feedings, giving medications, multiple walks, and enrichment activities (in or outside, depending on weather). My dog has anxiety and spring/summer are the most difficult for her, so I keep on music or background sounds while in the house, and make sure she is always on a leash when outside. I am willing and open to following any routines you have for your pet, however, I am not comfortable with electric fences or shock collars. I always have my phone easily accessible and am a quick communicator, so I can provide pictures, texts, or calls as requested if you’d like to check up on your fur baby.

“Cynthia is absolutely awesome! She is great with Tucker and leaves you very detailed and funny rover cards. She sends plenty of pictures and videos so I know my baby is having fun and enjoying her company!”

“This was Ruby’s first time being walked by someone other than a family member- so she was a little nervous! But Ronny made a nervous momma and pup feel at ease right away. He greeted Ruby with a smile and happy puppy talk. Clearly she enjoyed the walk as she’s passed out at my feet!”

“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care our dog received while we were away on vacation. Lauren went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt loved, comfortable, and well-exercised every single day. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was in such capable and caring hands. From daily walks and playtime to thoughtful updates and photos, everything was handled with professionalism and genuine love for animals. Our dog absolutely adored her and it showed! We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything about the quality of care provided. We are so grateful and highly recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional with dogs!”

About: Taking care of dogs and cats has been my specialty since I was a child! I have had 8 dogs of all kinds, as well as 10 cats, not including my grandmother’s. My family and neighbors would trust me to feed and water their pets while they were away. I am great at crating puppies and socializing feral/young kittens. It’s always a pleasure to brush or bathe pets depending on their size! I am working a part-time job at Petsmart so my day is already filled with furry faces! But I will still have plenty of days where I can come take care of your puppy or kitty! My schedules are usually two weeks out so I have plenty of notice of when I am free. Contact me of a day when you’d like me to care for your pet and I will let you know the earliest I am available that day! Unfortunately I am not in a position to invite pets into my home… I am figuring out my living situation and will update this section when I have a suitable place for pets to visit!

About: I have been around animals my whole life starting with dogs and progressing into all sorts of 4-H animals! I currently have horses, dogs and cats, but care for animals at a non-profit farm that includes: goats, chickens, turkeys and birds! I have been pet sitting since I was a young teenager and have continued doing it as a young adult because I enjoy it so much! I am currently a teacher so I have evenings and summers off to offer my services ! I would love to get to know your animals! I provide services in your home! This could be potty breaks in your backyard or walks. I will ensure to leave everything the way that I have found it and treat your pets as if they are my own family!

“Chloe showed up on time and that is a win in my book of past pet sitters who didn’t show up without notice. Reliability is #1. I will request Chloe for future needs.”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and love animals, anywhere from big dogs to small dogs. I've also taken care of all kinds of other pets :) I am a stay at home mom mostly and a realtor part time :) I come from a healthcare background and am always available when you need me! My pets are well cared for in my home. I make my dogs own food and we walk 2xs a day. And my 2 cats are well loved. I would do whatever your pet needs to feel like you've never left!

About: I'm a dedicated and passionate Certified Veterinary Technician, who received her license in 2023. I have background in both general practice and emergency medicine. Currently exploring a new change of pace out of the clinic. I've had many pets over the years, all whom I have loved dearly. However, my love for animals all started when I was just a little kid, when my parents adopted my 4-legged, golden retriever best friend. She changed my life forever. From then on, I wanted to help change others' lives and their pets' lives for the better. My compassion for animals has only blossomed since. I graduated with a Bachelors of Science from an AVMA accredited college - Wilson College. There, I majored in Veterinary Medical Technology and double minored in Animal Studies and Biology. I also worked in our on-campus kennels, providing exceptional care for dogs, cats, birds, and laboratory animals during my Junior and Senior years. I am so excited and prepared to care diligently for you fur babies! I am currently taking a hiatus from traditional employment to focus on personal growth goals. I am available everyday, Monday-Sunday, at any time of day to meet your pet care needs! I will gladly be of service for drop-in’s, dog walking, cat care, or overnight stays (duration x 1 week). I will only be offering pet sitting at your home, where I will keep a watchful eye on your pooch/kitty throughout my stay, providing a trustful companion for them while you're away. I can easily crate any dog/cat if necessary. I will ensure that the environment is kept clean and organized for your return. If any pet needs medication administered, it will be done with a fear-free approach and complete accuracy.

“Ella was reliable and on time. She communicated in a timely manner and she did wonderful on the walk with my pups. The one has anxiety so he only walks so far down the street. So she walked them a few times and even gave me feedback on if they did #1 or 2. I will hire her again in the future.”

Heather C.

“I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Billie! She is consistently punctual, incredibly kind, and communicates well. I always know what’s going on thanks to her thoughtful updates, and she’s great about letting me know of any scheduling changes well in advance — usually at least a week ahead, which I really appreciate. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in caring, reliable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely wonderful with pets!”

“Molly was super responsive to my messages. She agreed to walk my Millie with little notice, before even meeting. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog-walker.”

Jennifer H.

“Our dogs love Sidney. I started out to show Sidney some of the sights. Once I left, Sidney picked up the pace because both she and Matey are young, strong and quick so Matey had a nice walk. Matey doesn’t have much experience being walked on a leash, but Sidney was patient and understanding. We can’t wait to have her back.”
