Availability
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.

About Atusa A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
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.

Information Atusa A. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know a few key things before caring for a pet to ensure a smooth, safe, and happy experience for everyone. This includes: Daily routines (walks, feeding times, bedtime) Medical needs or medications Allergies or food sensitivities Behavioral quirks (e.g., leash reactivity, separation anxiety, fear of loud noises) Comfort items (favorite toys, spots, or calming routines) How they do with other animals or people on walks House rules (are pets allowed on the couch or bed, etc.) The more I know in advance, the better I can tailor my care and make your pet feel at ease while you’re away.
A typical day
I love exploring San Francisco with dogs and always tailor our time together to their energy level and preferences. For active pups, we might walk up Bernal Hill for the views, stroll through Precita Park or Holly Park, or head to Golden Gate Park for a longer adventure. If your dog loves the ocean, I’m always happy to head to the beach for some fresh air and sand between the paws. For more mellow pets or older animals, I’ll keep things relaxed with gentle neighborhood walks and lots of cozy downtime. And for cats, I make sure they get plenty of enrichment, lap time, and affection — or just quiet companionship if that’s what they prefer.

Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Excellent communication and care of my home and dog. Greatly appreciated.
A caring and responsible cat sitter!
Atusa took such good care of our kitty Emma , and our home. I will absolutely work with her again.
Atusa is a great petsitter! She’s been on our team for the past couple years, taking care of our two dogs and cat while we are away at least a few times a year. Our animals love her and we do too. Atusa is responsible, reliable and very clean. We trust her with our animals and our home and have referred many of family and friends to her.
