Dog walking and pet sitting in Del Mar
Del Mar is the smallest of the communities I cover and the closest to home base in Encinitas. If you're near the village or up at the north end, care starts with your dog's routine and the days you actually need a hand.
Check availability in Del MarThe form opens with Del Mar already selected. A request starts a conversation — it doesn't confirm a booking.
Village streets or the north end
Del Mar is short enough to walk end to end, but the two ends don't feel the same. The village has narrow streets, parked cars, and a lot of people between you and the water. North Del Mar is quieter, with the bluff path doing most of the work.
Which of those your dog sees on a walk is something we agree on before the first one — and it can change with the weather, the tide, or a dog who has decided the trash truck is an enemy.
What to send in your note
Your cross streets or nearest landmark, the days and approximate times you need help, and how your dog handles a leash. If parking near your place is awkward, say so — it's better to know before the first visit than to circle the block.
Sitting, not just walking
Del Mar households ask for both. Dog sitting is arranged around the routine you describe, and cat sitting covers cats who would rather stay home than travel. Both start as a conversation about dates and what your animal actually needs.

Do you walk dogs anywhere in Del Mar?
Del Mar is part of the service area. Coverage for a specific address and time is confirmed once you send your neighbourhood and preferred days — it isn't automatic just because you're inside the town line.
Will the walk include the beach?
Sometimes. Sand or bluff depends on the dog, the tide, and how hot the ground is. What your dog does on a walk is part of what we agree before the first one, not something decided in advance for every dog.
Can I ask about dog sitting at the same time?
Yes. Put it in the same note. If you need walks now and sitting for a trip later, one conversation covers both.
