Thank you!

Ami B.

Eshrit did an amazing job with my dog. Sending me videos and photos during the walk, but mostly importantly, adhering to the specific instructions I left her. She even went as far as to take off her shoes which I didn t request but much appreciated since this is standard practice in our home. Thank you for doing a great job!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in El Cajon

City Center

El Cajon has plenty of shopping, dining and entertainment. Wells Park is a beautiful 18-acre park providing lighted baseball and soccer fields, two children’s play areas, and an off-leash dog park. Well Off-Leash Dog Area is 1.4 acres and includes two separate areas: one for big pups and one for smaller of more shy dogs. There is a specially designed water fountain for your pooch to cool off and hydrate. Camp Bow Wow is a local business that offers doggie daycare and overnight boarding services; they also host a monthly Yappy Hour event that brings together dog owners and dogs for Puptini’s and Happy Hour specials!

Grossmont

Ten minutes southwest of El Cajon Boulevard is the neighborhood of Grossmont. Harry Griffen Regional Park has a dog park on the premises that offers pooper scoopers, water, and three separate areas for your pup to run and play off-leash. Howlistic, a natural pet food store in Grossmont, focuses on providing food options that offer optimal health and wellness for your pet using holistic treatments. They have a spa area where you can bathe your dog, and they carry raw food, supplements, dry food, canned food and treats to leave your baby feeling and looking his best!

Mount Helix

Mt. Helix Park is considered one of the area’s most breathtaking landmarks. At 1,300 feet above sea level, it’s the perfect place to enjoy spectacular views. Access is via the Yawkey Trail. If heights aren’t your thing, take a stroll around Lake Helix, or around one of the other local parks, like the 6.45-acre Eucalyptus County Park. Casa De Oro-Mount Helix Dog Sitters provide dog walking and pet sitting services, and there are many private, local lodging options that are dog-friendly, many of which are homes that provide a full-sized yard and private entrances.

Kennedy Park is a beautiful 10-acre plot of land that provides a lighted sports field, playground, walkways, and picnic areas. This park is ideal for jogging or walking your dog. Just keep an eye on him, because this park is not an off-leash one. There is a local group called Leash Your Fitness that is all about encouraging an active lifestyle for you and your pooch. They offer weekly and month activities such as yoga, hiking, camping and kayaking to help facilitate the bond between your furry friend.

Bostonia
