Personalized care for your dog or cat - Stratford

About: Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do on the side—it’s what I’ve built real experience in. I’ve worked hands-on with dogs for over three years in professional settings, including daycare, boarding, and off-leash adventures, and my most recent role was at a training facility where I learned how to safely manage dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also own a dog of my own, so I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is always to provide structured, attentive, and genuinely loving care so every dog feels safe, happy, and understood. I am also attending school to become a professional canine trainer. Pet care is my entire life. I have dedicated all 7 days of the week and 365 days of the year towards taking care of others and my own animals. Need last minute boarding due to a family emergency? I’m your girl. Everything else closed when you have work? I’m your girl. Taking a weekend trip but no where is open? I’m. Your. Girl. I am not only here for the convenience of you but also your beloved furry friends My yard is currently not fenced,(fence coming soon!) but I do offer leash training for more enjoyable walking experiences. I do daily walks for all dogs no matter the training level they are at. I have 1 very friendly lab mix who would keep your dog friendly dogs company, and I also offer special care for those special pups who are more people dogs than dog dogs for no additional charge. If your dog is crate trained they will be crated for bedtime (9pm-6am) with overnight potty breaks if your pup requires them as well. I keep all dogs and cats separated. Dogs have the downstairs of the home, and cats have the upstairs. I am comfortable with administering basically any medication except needles, the only needle exception being for diabetic animals.

“Ruby had the best time and was well taken care of during her 3 day stay with Barbara and Darryll! We got plenty of updates and it was so comforting knowing she was happy and safe so we could enjoy our vacation!”

“Kevin is a trustworthy find. We left our young Pyredoodle with Kevin while we were abroad, confident our pooch was in good, capable, safe hands. Kevin and his Great Dane, Maki, very calm and easy-going, made perfect companions for our active 2-year-old doggie. When highways were closed due to an unforeseen nor’easter, Kevin without hesitation generously offered to keep Bentley on if necessary. We love that Kevin works at home so there would be someone with Bentley in a cozy, relaxed setting, a much better alternative to boarding at a kennel, especially for a social family dog like ours who needs regular loving human interaction. We would gladly call on Kevin again.”

“Bentley enjoyed his stay so much, he didn't want to leave Angela and his new furry friends! So grateful to Angela for Bentley's wonderful overnight experience and playtime. Communication was excellent and personable. Thank you!”

About: With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs, I provided loving care for my senior pup Brodie, who had one eye and mobility issues. I’ve looked after friends' dogs, from a nervous rescue from Ukraine to a brand-new puppy needing training. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with senior care, mobility challenges, anxious pups, and basic training-ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I work remotely, so I have plenty of time for walks and cuddles throughout the day. After 4 PM, I can focus on more hands-on care and training. I’m available for boarding every day and take daily walks in a lovely enclosed dog park near Preston Park. Weekends are completely free for boarding and pet sitting/drop ins. I don’t have a dog of my own, so your furry friend gets my full attention. I can easily crate your dog if needed and take them on daily walks in a secure enclosed park near Preston Park—or explore other spots based on their needs.

About: I have three years of hands-on experience providing professional cat care in structured settings, where I’ve worked with cats of all ages, temperaments, and needs. My background includes paid positions focused specifically on cat care, giving me experience with daily routines, medication administration, enrichment, and creating low-stress environments. I also have two cats of my own, so I understand their routines, behaviors, and the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting boundaries. I take pride in providing calm, attentive care so every cat feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their owner is away.

“Laura was so great with our cats! She was super responsive and kind throughout the week. It was also amazing coming home to an extra clean house. We’ll definitely be repeat customers.”

Candice D.

“Showed up everyday on time genuinely cared for the cats will definitely use Amy again”

Lori R.

“Angela took great care of our kitties. She gave us updates on how the cats were doing each visit and was very responsive. I would definitely hire again!”

Jacqueline T.

“Michelle thank you! I appreciated the photos you shared during your 5 day stay at my home. It felt great knowing my kitty had company. And my home looked just as it had when I left! You even stripped the bed. Above and beyond what I expected. I will recommend your services to any who inquire:)”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have experience training my Labrador through her puppy and adolescent stages. I’m great with both playful puppies and gentle senior pets. I love being active, so walks and outdoor time are always a priority. What sets me apart is my mix of care, patience, and hands-on experience with pets of all ages. Tuesday and Thursday I am available for evenings, along with Friday mornings and some weekends! I do travel during the day which makes pop - ins much more convenient. Whether in my home or my client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time.

About: I have both cat and dog experience, will make sure your pet is happy and having a good time. Would love to start caring for your pet soon!

About: I love your dogs just like my own!! 🤍 reliable transportation to/from your house 🤍 responsible & organized walker/sitter 🤍 able to administer medications 🤍 communicative with you & loving towards all animals During drop-in visits I can feed, administer medications, go for a walk, play a game of fetch, light training/brain games, or just hang out with your pup. In the past I have done pet walking, overnight house/pet sitting, and elderly dog care. Because I work for myself I am often able to set my own schedule as long as I know far enough in advance what time/services you need! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with anything you or your pups are looking for, I am happy to help in any way that I can! I am currently available for drop in visits and overnights nearly every day, I just need to know a week in advance before booking. I already have a few dog walk clients in the greater Lancaster area. I do not care for pets in my home as I have 2 dogs. If I stay over at your house I will do a meet and greet before and go over basic schedules/routines that your pup is used to.

About: Animals bring me so much happiness. I lived in a household with dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens and lizards for several years. I loved starting my day with them every morning. They all have their own special personalities. It would be my pleasure to spend time with your pets and make them feel loved and cared for. I will provide exercise and playing, medication administration, provide your pet with fresh food and water or just some cuddle time if needed. If you need additional services I am more than happy to try and accommodate you. Our pets are a part of our families and I will do my best to make sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable in their environment. It's all about the animals for me. I have a pretty flexible schedule and love to stay busy. Nothing makes me happier than filling my days caring for your pets. I am coming into your home and want your animal to be as comfortable as possible. I want to make sure their daily routine stays the same and they feel safe, relaxed and happy with me.
