Every time someone tries to rub my little puppy she backs away and dodges their hand?

Not necessarily, but she's shy. Let her warm up to them when she's ready.
 
She is nerves she don't know them so she is scared. She will have to ge given time to get use to them.
 
She is also uneasy about other people holding her if she does not know them. Does this mean she will not like strangers?
 
Your little friend needs some socializing. Get her out and around lots of people. See if you can get strangers to give her a piece of her favorite treat. She will soon learn to associate strangers with good stuff and will eventually be less shy about meeting them and more excited to. Take it slow so she's not overwhelmed but get her out there. Good luck.
 
It just means that she is not socialized yet. Make sure you are introducing her to people and other animals often so she doesn't continue with this behavior when she grows up!
