House Sitting Acorn Acres

“Robbyn is a wonderful pet sitter. You can count on her to be there and take good care of your pet. Robbyn has watched my great pyreneese a couple of times now and I have been very happy with her services.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with great communication and of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The best part was coming home to happy, relaxed dogs, it was obvious they had been so well cared for that they hardly seemed to miss us! We truly appreciated the love and attention she gave each of them, as well as the care she took with our home. We are so grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be requesting her again for our future pet care needs. Highly recommend!”

“Erin was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with to set up the booking, asked plenty of questions to make sure Diablo and I were taken care of, and sent me picture and video updates of them enjoying each other's company. If possible, I will book her again in the future!”

About: As a nursing student, I provide attentive, reliable care. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and anxious pets, offering patience, consistency, and a calm, loving environment. As a student with free time, I structure my days around the pets I care for. I enjoy making time for walks, feeding, and play, so giving animals attention never feels like work for me. I live alone so I enjoy the furry company! In clients’ homes, I follow their routine exactly like feeding, walks, play, and comfort. I keep pets calm, safe, and cared for while respecting their space and daily needs.

About: I have fostered dogs and cats for the past 4 years in CA and I moved here to VA due to change of job. I love animals and I plan on getting my own once I do a little more research until I find the perfect friend! I work 15 minutes away from my home and can come home during lunch for a potty break. I don’t go out much and love going on walks and playing with animals! I have a fenced in back yard that is on a double plot of land so there is plenty of room to run and play.

“Kim has been amazing throughout my time away from my dogs. Kept them on their schedule, made adjustments when my travel plans unfortunately got changed. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”

About: Dogs have become a true passion of mine. I provide more than feeding and walks; I focus on understanding each dog’s behavior, body language, and individual needs. I’ve worked extensively with puppies and adolescent dogs, helping build confidence, good manners, and positive social skills through structure, patience, and consistency. I carefully monitor eating habits, energy levels, and overall health while dogs are in my care, and I keep owners updated with photos and detailed communication. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or simply relax, my goal is to provide a safe, calm environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. My schedule allows me to give dogs plenty of individual attention throughout the day. I plan my routine around exercise, structured play, rest periods, potty breaks, and enrichment rather than leaving dogs unattended for long stretches. I strive to maintain each dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Safety is always my highest priority. Every new dog is introduced gradually based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience using crates appropriately for rest, meals, and decompression when needed, and I carefully supervise all interactions between dogs. If your dog prefers quiet one-on-one attention, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I believe every dog is an individual. I take time to observe behavior, communication, and comfort level so I can provide care that fits each dog’s personality rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

About: Hi! I’m Thiara, a pet mom to my two cats, Juniper and Java. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust taking care of your pets, and I always treat other people’s animals with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including very large dogs over 100 lbs so I’m completely comfortable with the big babies too! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, lots of attention, or would rather just hang out and have some company, I’m happy to adjust to whatever makes them most comfortable. I’m very detail-oriented and good about following feeding schedules, routines, medications, and any specific instructions you leave. I also know pet parents like updates, so I’m more than happy to send pictures and check-ins while you’re away so you know your babies are doing well. I also speak both English and Spanish, so language is never a barrier when it comes to communicating about your pet’s care. I currently work full-time from 8–4:30, so I’m available for morning and evening care during the week. On weekends, my schedule is much more open and I’m available to drop by throughout the day or stay for longer periods of time. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible! I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, so I’m big on following their owner’s instructions closely. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or simply wants someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll always respect your home, your pet’s boundaries, and any routines you have in place.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a compassionate and attentive caretaker who truly understands that every dog has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s making sure they’re fed, walked, played with, or just comforted, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My lifelong experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with animals, which is why I know I’d be a great fit for any role involving dog care! i promise your dogs will love our fenced in dog area and have lots of fun! I am currently not working, and I have always wanted to work with animals! Dog sitting allows me to watch my own dog while also taking care of other people’s dogs and making a living for myself! we have a fenced in dog area and lots of room to run and play! I don’t allow any squeak toys in my house in case of choking hazards! And I have crates if you can’t bring your own if your dog is crate trained!

“Emma was great and left our place clean. She kept us up to date with pictures. And even got Bear a Christmas present!”

“Jennifer was good for both us and our fur babies. She sent daily updates and photos. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were getting all the attention and care they needed. We are confident that she will not disappoint anyone who leaves their pets in her care.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, especially cats and dogs, so caring for them feels natural to me. I enjoy spending time with pets, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and will always follow your pet’s routine and care instructions. I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work PRN, which allows me to make my own hours. I occasionally work overnight shifts, and on Mondays and Thursdays I help with shipment at a clothing store from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and can plan around pet care. I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll follow any instructions you leave, including medications, feeding schedules, or special care needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.

“Elijah was extremely responsive and respectful and I'm pretty sure if my dog could talk, he'd say he loved his time with him and has a new friend.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have plenty of hands-on experience with dogs and cats. I have a dog of my own and also regularly help care for cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, litter box care, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and always follow any special instructions you provide. As a healthcare professional, I’m also very detail-oriented and take safety and routines seriously. I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care I give my own! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m happy to make time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and companionship. My availability varies depending on my work schedule, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents always know when I’m available. I take your pet’s safety and comfort seriously and will always follow the routine and instructions you provide. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications or special care instructions, and keeping pets secure in their environment.

About: I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, especially pit bulls, and I’m very comfortable caring for strong, energetic, and affectionate dogs. I understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement, and I treat every dog with the same love and respect I give my own. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for two beautiful tuxedo cats, so I’m familiar with meeting cats where they are—whether they’re playful, independent, or just want a quiet companion. Having pets of my own has taught me how important trust, routine, and attention are, and I always make sure animals feel safe, loved, and at home while in my care. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be fully present for the pets in my care. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I can easily adjust my day to match your pet’s routine, whether that includes early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, medication reminders, or extra cuddle time. My flexible work-from-home schedule also allows me to respond quickly to any needs that come up and gives me the freedom to focus on keeping pets comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of dogs and a designated dog park, which provides a safe and social environment for pets to get exercise and enrichment. I always supervise playtime at the dog park and only allow interactions that are positive and appropriate for each pet’s temperament and comfort level. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-safe environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, and any special instructions provided by owners. Pets are never left unattended outside, and I ensure doors, leashes, and gates are always secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to their pet’s established routine to minimize stress. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of care I would want for my own animals.
