Dog Walking Mackenson

About: Hi! I’m Atusa — a lifelong animal lover with decades of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds and personalities. I’ve been around animals my entire life and have had my share of cherished companions. From playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing gentle care and medication, I’ve seen and supported it all. I genuinely enjoy long walks with dogs, quiet lap time with cats, and creating a calm, loving space so your pet feels safe, seen, and comfortable while you're away. I have experience with reactive dogs, special-needs pets, and animals who thrive with a little extra patience and understanding. Whether your pet is shy, spunky, anxious, or aging — I tune in and meet them where they are. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat your home and animals with the same care and respect I give my own. You can count on me for clean, calm, and compassionate care every time. IPet care fits naturally into my daily rhythm. I work primarily online, which means I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, regular walks, and a calm, consistent presence throughout the day. Whether your animal needs structure, companionship, or just someone to hang out with, I’m available and present — not just dropping by between errands or rushing out the door. At this time, I only offer in-home visits and house sitting at my clients’ homes. I find that most pets feel happiest and most secure in their own familiar space, with their routines and surroundings intact. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I would my own. I follow your instructions closely — whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or favorite toys and snuggle spots. I aim to keep your pet's routine consistent and stress-free, so they feel safe, calm, and well loved while you're away.

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 7 years. In the past two years, I started house/dog sitting for close friends and family. I currently am working only as a pet sitter. I will be continuing my education in January where I hope I can continue to petsit on weekends and some weekdays. I have lots of experience taking care of animals since I have two dogs of my own. I will create a loving and caring environment for your fur babies.

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, and I truly believe they’re one of the best parts of the world. I was a dog owner for over 10 years, and after losing my sweet girl to cancer, I really missed having furry friends around. That experience reminded me just how much joy and companionship pets bring into our lives. From dogs and cats to fish and hamsters, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a family guy with a comfortable home and a safe, secure environment where your pet can feel relaxed, loved, and right at home. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. Whether your companion needs walks, drop-in visits, sitting, boarding, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member! 🐾❤️ I work part-time in the evenings and am available during the day to spend time with and care for your pets. While I’m at work, my wife and daughter are home and will be there to care for them. Your pets will always have someone at home with them, so they won’t be left alone. You can have peace of mind knowing your pets will receive care, attention, and companionship around the clock. I have a good-sized, secure backyard where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time, as well as a public walking path right behind my house for those who enjoy stretching their legs and getting some exercise. I love taking dogs for walks—it’s a great way for them to get fresh air, exercise, and enrichment while keeping them happy and comfortable. I always make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated like part of the family while they’re in my home.

“Elaine was on time, had great communication, and our pup adored her immediately. We will definitely be working with her more in the future!”

“Dominic was great with my pups, one of which is pathologically shy. A true dog whisperer. On time, personable, knowledgeable and professional and obviously someone who loves dogs and has their best interests at heart.”

About: I personally have 11 cats in our house and seven dogs. Most of the dogs are 30 pounds or less but we also have a golden retriever and a labrador. I have some experience giving medication but depends on how open your pet is to their meds. I currently work full time hours but have time for overnight stays on the weekends. I also have time for drop in/checkup visits and walks on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after 6pm. On Fridays I have time for drop in visits noon or later. Exact details can be discussed based on location. I only offer services in the comfort of your own home as I have too many animals at my house to make accommodations. Having your pet remain in your home will help them feel more at ease in your absence.

“Mariah was super flexible with the busy long weekend and our pups were very well taken care of. They took to her right away and I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. I will definitely be booking again!”

“Ilse did great with Xena. She was attentive to Xena’s reaction to other dogs . She kept her under control and calm. Xena was happy to see Ilse when she came. She was on time and was needed for a week after I had hip surgery. Good job.”

“Our family was going out of town and arranged to have Katie walk our Boston Terrier Missy. We struck gold! Katie was amazing…responsive, friendly and sent lots of pictures. Missy can’t wait to see her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. But, when I acquired more responsibilities was when I moved in with my sister to SoCal and I started helping her take care of her dogs, two schnauzers and one yorkie. I would take them hiking, walking, and to the grooming salon. I would buy them enrichment toys and play with them every evening. Then, when I moved to NorCal for school, I adopted a dog, a Labrador. Now, I do the same as before but with more mental and physical exercise since my dog requires it. Taking care of dogs has always been part of me, my grandma was the same and that’s something she gifted me. I enjoy every aspect of it and the responsibilities that come with it. Dogs are a big responsibility and I will make sure to take care of your doggy, as if it’s mine. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your doggy. Currently with Hunter we go out four times a day, two times for physical exercise and potty breaks and the other two times only for walks to go potty. Hunter loves to play fetch and hide and seek. We hide the ball and he searches for it, this is his favorite game and it works for mental and physical exercise. We are very active and we exercise Hunter a lot but if your doggy is not like that, no problem, we can go only for walks and Hunter can play by himself. I have a fenced yard and a catio (patio for cats) where my cats spend most of the day. Dogs don’t have access to the catio since that’s the cats safe place. Hunter and the cats get along but my cats don’t play much with hunter, they are very lazy and only care about sleeping, sunbathing, and wet food. Hunter is VERY friendly, the nicest dog I ever known and loves to play all the time. Hunter has been around dogs of multiple sizes and ages from a 10 year old yorkie to a 2 year old labrador. Hunter is not neutered but he is not aggressive and territorial other than marking plants and trees outside at the park.
