About Pet Sitting in Escondido
Escondido is the Hidden Valley — a North San Diego County city of approximately 151,000 nestled in a broad inland valley surrounded by chaparral-covered hills, 30 miles north of downtown San Diego. Escondido is one of San Diego County's oldest cities and serves as a regional hub for the North County Inland communities of Valley Center, Rancho Bernardo, and Ramona.
Daley Ranch, a 3,058-acre open space preserve on Escondido's northern edge, offers one of North San Diego County's most extensive trail systems through native oak woodland, chaparral, and grassland with a historic ranch complex at its center. Dixon Lake Recreation Area, a 527-acre fishing and camping facility in the Escondido foothills, provides walking trails around its reservoir with views of the Merriam Mountains and the San Pasqual Valley.
Kit Carson Park, Escondido's largest municipal park at 285 acres, offers an exceptional variety of recreation — sports fields, amphitheater, picnic areas, the California Center for the Arts, and walking paths through mature oak and pine trees in the heart of the city. Lake Wohlford County Park, east of Escondido, adds another fishing lake and trail complex that extends Escondido pet owners' outdoor options into the mountains of North San Diego County.
