Hi. I am originally from Texas but have lived in La Jolla for 18 years. My love for animals started at a very young age, as I grew up around horses, cows, goats and plenty of dogs. I have had Great Danes, Beauviers, Labs, German Shepherds, etc. Presently, I have a Havanese, a Maltipoo and a Schnauzer. I don't have kids so my pups are my world and I spoil them rotten. God gave me a special ability to be able to read dogs and make them feel comfortable and at ease. I was a personal trainer and avid runner most of my life, so I really enjoy running, walking and playing with all dogs!

Dog Walking in Cardiff
Cardiff-by-the-Sea, or Cardiff for short, is one of five designated neighborhoods in Encinitas, California. This quaint beach community is known for its love of two things: surfing and dogs. This area is home to the P.A.D.Z. organization, a non-profit association that, according to its website is, “dedicated to addressing the legitimate need for safe, off-leash recreational areas.” Thanks in large part to this organization, local pups have the world at their paws here! Cutting Edge K9 Rehab is another unique feature Cardiff has to offer its pets. This impressive hydrotherapy rehabilitation center helps injured and disabled pups get back on their paws. For regular checkups, the nearest vet is only a stone’s throw away, in Encinitas proper.
San Elijo State Beach is a favorite spot of local dogs and surfers alike. This public beach welcomes leashed pups and features both inland and oceanfront camping areas. The camp store is open from April to October, offering necessities such as groceries and firewood. The store even features a snack bar for hungry campers! The park has several wheelchair-accessible amenities, including accessible campsites, restrooms, and showers. Lifeguards are stationed on the beach during the peak seasons, and mobile lifeguards patrol the area all other times of the year. Owners are still advised to be aware of the currents and know how to spot a riptide.
Nearby San Elijo Lagoon Trail offers leashed pups a 3-mile scenic trek through the lagoon and wetlands. The path winds through the 1,000-acre San Elijo Ecological Reserve and is home to a wide-variety of plants and animals. Pups love exploring all the sights and smells the trail has to offer. The area can get muddy, so make sure you bring towels!
