Jessica is amazing! My dog Paloma is a very sweet dog, but she can be very skittish around people that she doesn t know. She immediately took to Jessica and her warm kind energy.

Thank you so much for walking my two loud mouths! They can be difficult when trying to get out of the house, so I appreciate Rachel being patient with them. They looked like they had a good time!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Rancho Santa Fe

Downtown Rancho Santa Fe

The downtown neighborhood in Rancho Santa Fe has three amazing, dog-friendly restaurants within blocks of each other. Mille Fleurs offers upscale, fresh dining experiences and multiple outdoor tables. Check out their amazing wine list while your dog drinks from the finest of water bowls provided to your table. Rancho Santa Fe Bistro conjures up the cozy meals of a simpler time. Their menu offers classic favorites with an emphasis on pure flavors. Morada Restaurant focuses on “Californian” cuisine, highlighting the rich blend of cultures that makes California, and Rancho Santa Fe, so wonderful. Enjoy their locally sourced ingredients at their ample outdoor seating areas with your pup.

West Rancho Santa Fe

West Rancho Santa Fe is home to the Rancho Santa Fe Field. This simple park is a great place to walk your dog. It’s a large, open grassy area with small amenities like a public restroom. It’s used by many sports leagues to host games, but any time the fields aren’t in use, your dog can romp on leash to his heart’s content. It’s a nice alternative to walking your dog down city streets, and the views from the field are great, especially towards sunset. There are drinking fountains, but you’re going to have to bring a bowl for your pup.

Southwest Rancho Santa Fe

At the very edge of the Southwest Rancho Santa Fe neighborhood, lies the trailhead to La Orilla Trail. This trail snakes west, crossing out of Rancho Santa Fe after a mile or so. The hike is rated as easy, and is popular with joggers, walkers, and bird watchers. It winds through beautiful expanses near San Elijo Lagoon. Hikers can choose to keep exploring, or come back out the way they came after a mile and a half. Leashed dogs will love the natural aspect of the trail. Bring your own water and a bowl, as it’s far from fountains out there.

Solana Beach East of 5

San Dieguito County Park in this neighborhood rides the border between Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, and Solana Beach. The address is technically given to Del Mar, despite the surrounding Solana Beach neighborhood, putting this amazing park outside of Rancho Santa Fe by one minute by car. This county park is a great place to bring a high energy dog for the walk of his life. The park is 125-acres with a variety of terrain. While some areas are set aside for playgrounds and picnics, most of the space is open. Dogs will love following the hiking trails to get around this large park. There are also meadows and fields to explore.

Sensible Cardiff

Sensible Cardiff in the nearby town of Cardiff is only a ten minute drive from Rancho Santa Fe. San Elijo Lagoon is an amazing wildlife area and place to take your dog. It’s one of the last, and the largest, remaining coastal wetland in the San Diego area. As tempting as it could be to let your dog explore, the area is a preserve for plants and animal species, so all dogs must remain on leash in the park. Your dog will have so much to do that she won’t even mind! There are seven miles of walking paths through the park, and many different areas to see and smell!
