San Diego North County

Dog care, companionship & adventure.

Coastal Canine Collective offers dog sitting, walking, and adventure walks throughout San Diego's North County — plus an ongoing foster home for dogs still waiting on theirs.

Real family socialization — two kids, a resident mastiff, and often other dogs underfoot.

What we do

Services

Dog sitting

In-home care for a night or up to 28 days, in a family setting with kids and other dogs for real socialization.

Dog walking

Regular walks around the neighborhood to keep tails wagging and energy in check.

Adventure walks

Longer, exploration-style outings — trails, beaches, and new places to sniff.

Fostering

An ongoing foster home for dogs in need, with hands-on socialization along the way.

Meet the founder

Llysia Calvert

Llysia has been fostering dogs since college — what started as a hobby grew, without her quite planning it, into something she needed as much as the dogs did. Dogs in her care join a real family home: two young kids, her own resident mastiff, Zoey, and often several other dogs at once — the kind of everyday socialization that's hard to replicate anywhere else. She specializes in socializing big dogs, and has successfully integrated cane corsos with pomeranians in her own home.
