Dog Walking Encinitas

“I’m so thankful to have found Analisa! My dog is super shy with new people and takes a lot to warm up. She sits with him for a full visit if he refuses to walk, and eventually got him to walk to our neighborhood park after several visits. Knowing he is cared for takes my stress away while I’m at work, thank you Analisa!”

About: Hi, I’m Liana! I've loved all kinds of animals my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of pets. Growing up, my family had a sweet Lhasa Apso which gave me a deep love for dogs and a solid understanding of their routines. I’m also the go-to pet sitter for my friends and family, frequently looking after my sister's cat and making sure her needs are met. Beyond dogs and cats, I’m highly comfortable with small and unique pets. I have owned both guinea pigs and a leopard gecko, I know how important strict feeding schedules and habitat care are. I’m active, dependable, and ready to give your pets the exact love, exercise, and structured care they need while you’re away! I am home from college for the summer, so my schedule is wide open and very flexible! Since I don't have a rigid routine right now, your pet will be my top priority. I am available throughout the week and on weekends for morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight sitting. Because I am home full-time, I have plenty of time to give your pet all the attention, exercise, and love they need! My goal is to keep your pet’s routine exactly as it is when you’re there by prioritizing safety, respect, and clear communication. When visiting your home, I always double-check that all doors, gates, and alarms are securely locked, and I make sure no dangerous items are left within your pet's reach. During walks, I practice active supervision by staying completely aware of our surroundings, keeping your dog securely on their leash, and sticking to your preferred routes to ensure they are safe from traffic or other animals. I treat your home with total respect by keeping water bowls fresh, cleaning up any messes immediately, and leaving your space exactly how I found it. Plus, I love sending quick photo updates after every single visit so you can see firsthand that your pet is happy, safe, and having a great time!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals, my whole life. This is the first time in my life I don’t have any of my own , and I’d love to give love to others dogs while owners are away. My schedule is very flexible as I make my own. I volunteer with seniors at a memory care facility for a part-time, and I volunteer to do flowers at my nearby church once a month. I have a small, fenced backyard and live by Moonlight Beach. I walk twice a day and would love to take furry friends along with me.

About: I've owned multiple breeds of dogs from overly energetic Jack Russels, to water-loving Huskies, to lap cuddling Maltese. I am excellent with dogs and would love to spend time with your fur baby. My specialty is tiring out active medium to large breed dogs, however I'm happy to tone it down to a stroll for your elderly or pocket-sized pup. Positive affirmations and personalized attention are a given as well! I am also a big gardener and am able to water and maintain your garden/indoor plants while you’re away as well. I have experience with caring for disabled dogs and for managing aggressive behaviors in dogs as well. I have full open availability for walks, dog park play sessions, hikes, beach outings and overnight stays. My dog can tag along or stay home depending on your preferences. I will treat your dog with as much care and love as I do my own girl, Chloe. It is a scary and daunting process to find and trust a pet sitter which I understand first-hand. I can assure you I am obsessed with dogs and would be honored to spend time with your fur babies.

About: I have worked in a number of rescue facilities as well as loved 2 rescue dogs and a number of rescue cats myself. I am also currently an online teacher so I am available for whatever hours needed throughout days or evenings. My schedule is super adaptable for your needs and I am very communicative throughout the entire experience. I currently work online so I can be anywhere at any time for meeting pet care needs. I am hoping to fill my schedule and help out as much as possible. I offer in client's home care for pets by scheduling one day prior typically and arriving early to get set up or shown the routines. Care will vary based on what client's specific needs are, but I like to communicate, and operate above and beyond what client's expectations are. I know how I would want my furry kiddos treated so I won't treat yours with any less love or care.

“Mckinley was wonderful and took very good care of my girls!! Very responsive and can’t wait to use her again!”

About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.

“I have cameras outside the house so I know our dog was healthy, exercised, and having a great time every day of a three week vacation. Very grateful to have found Suzi.”

About: We have both lived with and taken care of dogs our entire lives, including our 4 year old rescue, Zuko. We have experience with all things pet care including walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and (most importantly) playing. All breeds and ages are welcome into our home. One of us works from home full time while the other is a healthcare professional so your dog will have 24/7 attention and proper care. We are available anytime, but prefer drop-off/pickup before or after working hours. Let us know what works best for you and we are happy to make it work. Our dog is taken out first thing in the morning, and multiple times throughout the day. In between walks and feeding, we have lots of toys, interactive activities, and snuggles to keep your pup occupied and happy. Our dog Zuko is everyone’s best friend and loves every dog he meets. Zuko is happy to zoom around with your pup, or bum out on the couch. Whether your dog wants to go on multiple walks, trips to the park, or sunbathe on the balcony, we can do it all! We treat our dog like royalty, and can ensure yours will be too. Sebastien works from home full time and Olivia is a graduate physical therapy student. Between the two of us, your pup will have constant attention and care as needed. Our flexible schedule allows for lots of potty breaks and playtime. We live on the second floor of our building, requiring one flight of stairs for your pup to walk up. Please keep this in mind if your dog is unable to get up safely and/or cannot be easily carried up. Our sincerest apologies.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5. I grew up with Goldens, German Shephards and Labs mostly. I had a pug of my own as well as a black lab. I have 4 siblings and they all have 1-2 dogs and we all laugh that we treat them like humans ie: sometimes they eat better than us! (wink wink). More recently, I lived in a place that wouldn't allow dogs so I would get my dog fix going on my daily walks especially in Encinitas where they are everywhere. But I thought getting into dog sitting/walking would allow me to be around them even more. They are good for the soul. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. So I can be available for last minute things that may come up and I'm am able to be at the house/do walks often if needed. I walk about 2 hours a day as it is so it would be in even better addition to my routine to have a dog with me! I am unable to have pets in my home at the moment although that is going to change in the next few months. As far as coming to your home, I am very respectful, reliable and will treat your dog like it's my own.

“Lauren is great! She was very easy to communicate with and gave great recaps of Donut’s walks this week. We will definitely ask her to walk Donut in the future.”

About: Dog-mom to Kiki, a rescue with a storied past. Think your dog is reactive? Bad on a leash? I have lived it and conquered it! I just love hanging out with animals and treat them like they are my own. They are a part of the family. I'm an active volunteer with San Jose Animal Care Services and Humane Society of Silicon Valley. Worked with hundreds+ of animals over the years, and would love to meet yours! I have a full-time job, but have some flexibility in my schedule. I will do my best to make requests work, but I will also not accept requests for which I'm not available. Unfortunately, I cannot care for pets in my house. I have a rescue dog with ... issues. I'm fortunate to be able to provide her an environment in which she can be safe and happy-- most could not.

About: I've taken care of dogs as long as I can remember. I've taken care of all types, from Great Danes to chihuahuas. I like big dogs the best but will never say no to the small ones. I am currently working part time and in college, I will have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and love they need. I have a fenced yard with a large patio, grass area. We have one very sweet dog, he's getting up there in age but loves to play with puppies and gets along great with other dogs.

“Kristoph is the best!! I haven’t seen my pups take to anyone like this in years…he even got my girl who’s always had major stranger danger wagging her little tail for him. He clearly is an animal lover who is responsible, caring, honest and takes amazing photos. We hope we”ll have Kristoph for as long as he”ll have us!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for dogs with different energy levels, routines, and needs. Weather it’s daily walks or overnight visits, i’m confident handling all of your pets needs I am currently unemployed and am home from college for the summer so can devote as much of my time possible to walking, watching, feeding, and living your pets!

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life—growing up with both cats and dogs taught me early how to care for pets with love and patience. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to sitter for my friends whenever they go out of town, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always do my best to match their energy and routines. Whether your furry friend is energetic and playful or more laid-back and shy, I’ve got them covered! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m available for regular walks, drop-ins, or extended care depending on your pet’s needs. I keep my availability up to date and do my best to be reliable and consistent, so you can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine. I’m also happy to coordinate a schedule that works best for you. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and follow all instructions closely—from feeding routines and walk preferences to any special needs or behaviors. I take extra care to ensure doors, gates, and crates are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended longer than agreed. I stay attentive during walks and in the home to keep your pet safe at all times. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in good hands.
