In Home Pet Sitting Services in Encinitas, CA

Encinitas is five communities wearing one name, and they do not have the same pet sitting needs at all.

Downtown and the 101 corridor is condos, apartments and small lots where a dog’s whole world is a balcony and a sidewalk. New Encinitas and Village Park up around Santa Fe Drive and El Camino Real is family housing with yards and, usually, more than one animal. Encinitas Ranch is newer, bigger, and full of people who commute. Olivenhain is a different planet entirely: half acre and one acre lots, dirt trails, horse property, dogs with actual room and gates that are a quarter mile from the front door.

We sit for pets in all of it. We also cover Cardiff and Leucadia, which sit inside the city limits and have pages of their own.

Here is the thing new residents learn fast: Encinitas is a beach town where your dog cannot go to the beach. Moonlight, Swami’s, the bluff beaches, all of it is off limits to dogs. Check the current city posting for the specifics, because the ordinance and the signage get revised, but plan on your dog never seeing the water he can hear from the yard.

So the exercise has to come from somewhere real. The dog park at Encinitas Community Park off Santa Fe Drive. The Coastal Rail Trail. The lagoon trails on the Cardiff side. The long neighborhood loops through Village Park.

Our dog pet sitting service builds around your specific dog rather than a default. A two year old vizsla in Encinitas Ranch needs work. A fourteen year old lab mix downtown needs a short walk, his pills, and someone to sit on the floor with him for twenty minutes. Both are the same booking to us.
