Dog Walking Rancho Santa Fe

“Johanna was wonderful with Flynn. She was quick to respond to our request, friendly and came by to meet him ahead of time which made us and Flynn feel very comfortable. Would definitely book her again :)”

“Dom has been nothing but an angel. Whether it’s long term vacations or emergency pop in visits, she’s always available and always great about sending pictures and letting me know how the walk goes! I’ve been requesting her services for a few months now and don’t plan to stop!”

“In the days of people being flaky and irresponsible, what a relief and joy it is to have found Danielle!!! I knew from the initial prompt response from her that she was going to be a rare find!!! I have an 80 lb Pitbull that I pulled from Lancaster Animal Shelter in March. He is a great dog but strong and intimidating looking. I had a friend spending the night but I needed someone to walk him and hang out with him. He had so much fun with Danielle and got exactly the activity he needed! She did alot of enriching activities with him and I SOOOO appreciated the photos and vids and updates of how she left him (ie where the water was with pics, he was out in the house or in the office, etc). She made my international trip so much more relaxing and less stressful knowing he was being well cared for! I have already booked her again and will most certainly continue to use her in the future!!!”

“We are so grateful for Emily! She’s always on time, thoughtful, and goes above and beyond to check in with us before and after each walk. We feel completely at ease knowing our puppy is in such great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Llys! I’ve spent more than 20 years working with dogs and the past 7 years fostering, boarding, walking, and caring for dogs in my home. I’ve fostered 28 dogs and have extensive experience with large and working breeds, reactive dogs, senior dogs, and dogs with medical in or medication needs. My journey into professional dog care actually started with my own Cane Corso, Zeke. He had epilepsy and significant medical needs, and I learned firsthand how difficult it can be to find someone you truly trust with a dog who needs more than basic boarding. Zeke became the reason I started providing the kind of care I had struggled to find myself. Today, I run Coastal Canine Collective, providing personalized, home-based dog care in the Encinitas/Olivenhain area. My goal is simple: your dog should feel like they’re staying with someone they know—not at a boarding facility. Dogs in my care enjoy a large, beautiful yard, plenty of indoor time with our family, daily exercise, play, enrichment, and lots of individual attention. I intentionally keep my bookings limited so I can provide hands-on care rather than having a house full of dogs. I’m experienced with: • Large & working breeds • Puppies through seniors • Reactive or sensitive dogs • Oral medications & more complex medication schedules • Dogs with epilepsy and other ongoing medical needs • Multi-dog households • Structured walks, enrichment & exercise I offer overnight boarding, daycare, dog walking, and adventure/pack walk days. I’m insured, experienced, and comfortable handling dogs who may need a little more knowledge, patience, or structure than the average sitter can provide. Meet & greets are required for new boarding and daycare clients because I want to make sure your dog feels comfortable here and that we’re a great fit for each other. You can also find Coastal Canine Collective on social media for a peek at the pups, property, walks, adventures, and everyday life here. 🐾 I can’t wait to meet you and your dog! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday routine! I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide plenty of hands-on attention rather than leaving dogs alone for long stretches. Our days typically include morning and afternoon walks, outdoor play and enrichment in our large yard, plenty of indoor family time, and lots of opportunities for rest and one-on-one attention. I keep the number of dogs in my care limited so I can tailor each day to the dogs I have with me—whether that means extra exercise for a high-energy dog, a slower day for a senior, medication on a specific schedule, or simply lots of snuggles and companionship. Dogs staying with me truly become part of our daily life and routine while they’re here I keep my bookings intentionally limited so dogs can be closely supervised and receive individualized attention. I have a large yard for supervised outdoor time, and dogs are welcomed into our home as part of the family. With 20 years of dog experience, I’m comfortable reading canine body language, managing different personalities, and recognizing when a dog may need space, structure, or a change in environment. Weather we are lounging, playing in the yard or on a walk I will always have eyes on your dog

“A.J. was fantastic! So positive and genuinely excited to meet our crazy pup. A.J. was also very quick to respond and was happy to help us out last minute. Our pup loved his walk with A.J. We will definitely be rebooking with A.J. in the future!”

About: I was raised on a farm, so I have experience caring for all kinds of animals and understand the responsibility and attention pets need. I’ve cared for playful puppies, gentle senior dogs, and curious kitties, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I’m reliable, communicative, and always provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve. I work from home on my laptop, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine. My husband and I run our own business, which means we’re organized, reliable, and used to balancing responsibilities—so your pets are always in capable, loving hands. Whether in my home or at your home, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special routines. In my home, I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and cozy spots for pets to relax. When visiting your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own, keeping your pets happy and your space tidy. I enjoy giving updates and photos so you can see your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Cleo loves Kira so much! She always take great care of our Cleo and our house is always in great shape when we return. Kira is amazing!”

“Jacob was great with our dogs! He was communicative, reliable, and very sweet with both of them. They can definitely be a handful around other dogs, and I really appreciated his patience and honesty about how the walk went. He took great care of them and kept me updated throughout. I would definitely recommend Jacob to other pet parents!”

Although I didn’t meet her I was grateful she could let Teddy out with her busy schedule She was flexible with walk times, posted pictures of my pup and was communicative on the app which is awesome !

“Garrett was awesome walking my 2 pups. Garrett really helped us of a bind at short notice. He was responsive, friendly and my dogs immediately liked him from the moment they met!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life — I grew up with three dogs, three cats, plus bunnies and birds. Caring for them taught me how to truly understand different personalities and needs, from playful pups to shy rescue cats. These days, I love extending that care by watching my friends’ and family’s pets whenever they need someone they can trust. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or just keeping their routines steady so they feel safe and happy, I’m dedicated to treating your pets like they’re my own. I know how much they mean to you — and it’s my goal to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to be available to play and watch your fun furry friends anytime needed :) In my home or yours, I focus on making sure your pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved — just like they would with you. I stick closely to their usual routines with feeding, walks, and playtime, so there’s as little stress or disruption as possible. I take time to really get to know each pet’s personality and what makes them feel happy and safe — whether that’s extra snuggles, quiet companionship, or active play. I keep a close eye on their behavior and health, and I always send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

“Becca was so wonderful! Would recommend!”

About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.

“Mark is super nice, professional, mature and trustworthy. This was our first Rover experience so we were a bit skeptical about the type of person we were entrusting with our beloved Westie. Mark gladly agreed to meet with us which gave us a chance to get to know him. So far we have used him for about 8-10 walks and we are super pleased with him and with Rover.”

About: I’m super active and love getting out for walks and play time with my dogs. I have a background in rescuing, training, and therapy dogs. A dog is the best friend you will always have. I believe our animals can sense everything and have an amazing way of communicating with us, that’s why it’s important to intuitively connect with them. I’m known to be most patient in playing ball. My puppy knows I won’t give up the second she looks at me with her adoring eyes. A world without dogs is like a world without sunshine. They are the most loyal, loving creatures and it’s an honor to have any opportunity caring for them. Please contact me if you’d like me to help assist you in caring for your dog. They deserve the best.
