Dog walking in Encinitas
Good dogs. Great walks.
Looking for help with your dog's regular walks? I offer private dog walking in Encinitas, plus pet sitting and cat sitting in nearby North County communities. Tell me about your pet, your neighborhood, and when you need a hand.
Regular walks
A little help with their everyday routine.
Workdays, appointments, and busy calendars can make it hard to fit everything in. Looking for regular help with your dog's walks? Send me your preferred days and times, your neighborhood, and a little about your dog so we can discuss availability. Every walk comes back with a photo and a quick note about how it went.
An inquiry starts a conversation about availability, not a confirmed booking.
What we offer
Four things,
done properly.
No packages, no mystery fees. Four kinds of care, with the rates written plainly on each service page.
Dog walking
Private walks from your door, with a photo after each visit. One-time, occasional, or a regular weekly schedule.
Pet sitting
In-home or hosted care while you're away. Share your dates and your dog's routine to check availability.
Cat sitting
Tell me about your cat, their usual routine, and the dates you need care.
Dog day care
A day at my house for friendly, well-behaved dogs — a yard, walks, and company all day.
Who's walking
The neighbor with
the full house.
Three cats and one dog live here, which means I've cleaned every kind of mess, been thoroughly unimpressed by a cat who had opinions about me, and learned that "she's shy" is usually just an introduction problem.
I've had animals my whole life and I absolutely love them — that's the whole reason I do this. You'll get photos, an honest note about how it went, and care from a small local service that learns your animal's routine.
Where I'll meet you
Encinitas and nearby
North County communities.
I offer dog walking, dog sitting, and cat sitting in Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Oceanside, and Rancho Santa Fe. Send your neighborhood and the care you need to check availability.

How it works
An inquiry, start to finish.
You send a note
Your pet, your neighbourhood, and the days you need. Mention handling, stairs, or heat if they matter.
I reply
With what's possible for your dates and what it costs for your household, in plain language.
We confirm
If the arrangement suits you, dates and times are agreed. Nothing is booked until then.
Tail notes
Small things I've learned about animals.
