Dog Walks + Small Group Hikes on the NH Seacoast.
Experienced Hands. Exceptional Care.
When someone else is responsible for your dog, experience is paramount. Especially when things don’t go according to plan.
With 15 years of professional pet care experience, we’ve worked with just about every personality you can imagine. We understand canine behavior, know when to give a dog space, and recognize when a situation calls for a different approach. We’re comfortable managing multiple dogs, navigating unexpected circumstances, and making sound decisions when they matter most.
At Stratham Strolls, we offer private walks and small group hikes with familiar caregivers who take their responsibilities seriously.
We offer something a little different. Untimed visits.
That means we’re not watching the clock while caring for your dog. We complete the care we’ve agreed to provide, whether that takes a little less time or a little more. There’s no stressful rushing through your dog’s visit to get to the next visit. You’re paying for professional care, not a countdown.
We’re purposely small and locally focused. We like knowing the dogs we care for, understanding their routines, and getting to know the people who trust us with them. That familiarity is part of what makes our work enjoyable, and it helps us provide the consistency your dog deserves.
Proudly serving Stratham, Exeter, Newmarket, Newfields, East Kingston and Greenland, NH.
The standards behind Stratham Strolls
My background is in pet care operations, and that experience shapes how Stratham Strolls is run.
Professional pet care is not just about what happens during the walk. It is also about the systems behind it. Scheduling, communication, documentation, backup coverage, home access, emergency planning, and clear expectations all matter.
At Stratham Strolls:
Visits are GPS and time tracked.
Care notes and communication stay in one secure client system.
Dogs are cared for by familiar people, with planned backup coverage.
Group hikes stay small and on leash.
Boarding is reserved for dogs we already know.
Scheduling windows and service expectations are clearly defined.
Home access is planned in advance.
Emergency procedures are addressed before they are ever needed.
We do not rely on last minute scrambling to keep care running.
Good pet care should feel personal.
Professional pet care should also be accountable, organized, and dependable.
Care that fits your dog
We keep our services focused so we can do them well. Whether your dog needs one-on-one time, a small social outing or a familiar place to stay, care is kept personal, structured, and deliberately limited.
Private Dog Walking
Consistent, structured visits that actually fit your dog’s routine and your schedule.
Group Hikes (Trial Required)
Small, structured hikes for dogs that are a safe fit for a small, managed hiking environment.
Private Boarding
We offer limited in home boarding for active and inactive clients. Boarding is done in a family centered environment with structure and consistency built in to avoid additional stress. Rate based on one dog.
Before boarding: (inactive clients)
A minimum of 3 walk visits is required beforehand
Your dog must be at least child and dog friendly. Dogs that do not care for cats can generally be safely accommodated.
This allows us to get to know your dog and ensure a good fit
We reserve the right to decline boarding requests if it’s not the right fit, even after the initial visits.
Familiar people
Your dog gets to know the people walking them instead of starting over with someone new each week. That familiarity makes the routine easier for every dog, and can be especially helpful for dogs who are nervous or slow to warm up.
Room to breathe
Walks are never crammed into tiny time slots to maximize capacity, and our groups stay small enough for us to actually pay attention to the dogs in front of us.
Backup without the shuffle
If your regular walker is unavailable, care stays within our small team instead of being handed off to someone your dog has never met.
Clear communication
Visit notes, photos, and updates are kept in one secure place so you always know how your dog’s visit went.
Trackable visits
GPS tracking, time tracking, an automatic notification when your dog’s visit has begun, followed by a completed visit report within minutes of leaving your home, so you are never left wondering.
This is care designed to run smoothly—so you don’t have to manage it.
Why dog’s settle into our routine
From the people who trust us with their dogs.
“Highly recommend Jocelyn at Stratham Strolls! Her communication is excellent, and she is incredibly friendly and warm. My dog can be finicky around new people and usually doesn’t want to leave the house without his family, but Jocelyn has done an amazing job making him feel comfortable and at ease. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she works with. We’re so grateful to have found her!”

“My dog and I LOVE Stratham Strolls. It's easy to book and pay, and I have full confidence that the walkers all care for my dog. And I don't have to worry if my "normal" walker is unavailable - the team steps up and steps in to make sure my dog is taken care of! Sometimes the dog gets overexcited but the walkers are all equipped to handle redirecting him easily. Could not recommend them enough!”

“My 2 year old lab goes on several hikes per week and it is the best thing for her! She socializes, exercises and practices recall. Stratham Strolls takes very good care of her and shows up rain or shine. They go above and beyond by checking her for ticks, drying her off when she's gotten wet or went for a swim, etc. I highly recommend them!”
