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!

Omg! The little story from Ayla made me sooooo happy! Thank you so much! Also this is the first time, no lie, that Ayla was extremely happy to see someone at our front door. She usually is very hesitant and barks on alert. But not with eshrit, she barked one and immediately went into tail wags and kisses. Thanks so much!

Thank you for coming on short notice! I m so ill today that I could not watch her myself. Thank you for taking such good care of her.

Yet another amazing walk with Malia. She followed my instructions perfectly and made sure to check that my dog had enough water. She was even conscious of the heat during the walk and made sure to stick to the shade. Thanks for taking care of my Chanel!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Lakeside

Grossmont

Grossmont in El Cajon is just an eleven-minute drive from Lakeside, and a real mutts-visit for dog owners. It’s home to the Canine Corners Dog Park, a pawesome dog run located just off Milden Street. The park is well-shaded by several large, mature trees, so your pup get a good workout without you worrying about them overheating in the California sun! There are two large, separate areas for large and small dogs, and water and bags are provided. While you’re in the area, why not pop in to Howlistic on Severin Drive? Technically located in nearby La Mesa, this San Diego area staple provides delicious, all natural treats sure to keep your pup bright eyed and bushy tailed!

Woodglen Vista

Only five miles from Lakeside, Woodglen Vista is home to the Woodglen Vista Dog Park. Make no bones about it -- your pup will love a game of catch in this huge, green field! Doggy-doo bags and water are available onsite, but there’s no separate area for small dogs, so be mindful of your pup’s temperament. There are also restrooms and plenty of seats available for humans. The Santee Lakes Park on Santee Lakes Boulevard is a mutts-visit for dog owners! This scenic spot allows dogs on leash in designated areas, and even has a specially designed Pet Walk trail for you and your buddy to wander!

Mission View Estates

Mast Park in Mission View, Santee is well worth the the eleven-minute drive for the size of its dog park alone. The off-leash area is huge, so there’s plenty of space for your pup to play and socialize! The park has its drawbacks, however; water is available at the park entrance only, and there’s no separate run for small dogs. The gem of Mission View is the Walker Preserve, a beautiful state park with a furrific 1.5-mile dog-friendly trail running right through it! (Your pup needs to stay on-leash on the trail, though.) The trail is suitable for all fitness levels, and water and doggy-doo bags are provided.

East San Carlos

Cowles Mountain Trail in East San Carlos, San Diego is very popular with dogs and owners looking for a more intense hike. The sharp incline is well worth it for the beautiful views at the top, and the bottom portion of the three-mile trail is suitable for all fitness levels. Your pooch is welcome to walk as long as they stay on leash. Just bring your own waste bags and water! Be careful, though -- the trail doesn’t get a lot of shade in the afternoon, so it’s best to visit in the morning or early evening to avoid the heat.

Hillsdale

The neighborhood of Hillsdale in El Cajon is a haven for pet owners. The Wells Park Dog Run on East Madison Avenue is a pup’s paradise, featuring a whopping 1.4 acres of off-leash open space. The park provides everything you and your dog could ask for: bags, water and separate areas for big and small dogs. Once you and your furry friend have worked up an appetite, consider stopping in to Epic Wings and Things. This local favorite serves succulent chicken smothered in the sauce of your choice, and canine companions are welcome to chow down at several pet-friendly, outdoor tables.
