Availability
Pet sitting is a part-time job for me, which allows me to maintain a fairly flexible schedule and dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs and can often work with a variety of schedules, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays when available. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, I make it a priority to provide dependable care, timely communication, and plenty of attention for every pet. If you have specific scheduling needs, feel free to reach out—I’m always happy to discuss availability and find a solution that works for both you and your pet.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets in a client’s home. Before walks, I make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes fit properly and are securely fastened. I’m careful when entering and leaving the home to ensure doors are closed so pets can’t accidentally escape. If pets have access to a fenced yard, I always check that gates are closed and the area is secure before letting them outside. During walks, I stay aware of our surroundings and do not allow dogs to approach unfamiliar dogs, helping avoid unnecessary stress or potential conflicts. Along with keeping pets safe, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and consistency with their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
Information Acacia P. would like to know about your pet
I like to learn as much as possible about every pet before I begin caring for them. I’d love to know about their personality, likes and dislikes, habits, routines, favorite toys, treats, sleeping spots, fears, and anything else that makes them unique. What is important to you as their owner? Even the smallest details can make a big difference in helping me provide the best possible care. The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and secure while you’re away. Understanding their normal behaviors and routines also helps me recognize if something seems out of the ordinary so I can address it quickly. My goal is to care for your pet the way you would and make the experience as stress-free as possible for both of you. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities, and I believe great care starts with getting to know them as an individual.
A typical day
A typical day caring for a pet starts with making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routine. For dogs, that usually includes potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy spending time interacting with pets, whether that’s playing fetch, going for a walk, practicing basic commands, or simply giving them the affection and companionship they deserve. For cats, I focus on maintaining their routine with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and lots of attention on their terms. Whether your cat loves chasing toys, curling up for cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Throughout the day, I keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being, make sure they stay safe, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to make your absence as stress-free as possible by treating your pets like family and giving them the same care, patience, and love I give my own.

Giving Care I’d Want for My Own Dog
Pet care experience
Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My experience caring for pets began when I was a toddler and has continued throughout every stage of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals and have built lasting relationships with many happy clients who trust me with their beloved pets time and time again. One of the first things people notice about me when animals are around is just how much I genuinely love and adore them. Whether it’s stopping to say hello to a dog on a walk, earning the trust of a shy cat, or spending extra time making sure a pet feels comfortable and loved, caring for animals is something that comes naturally to me. My home is filled with furry family members, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all personalities, ages, and needs. I have my own dog and currently live with two dogs and five cats, so I understand the daily commitment, patience, and attention that excellent pet care requires. From energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime to independent cats who appreciate a calm and caring presence, I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I don’t see pet care as just a job—it’s something I truly enjoy. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who will treat them like family, not just another appointment on a schedule. I take the time to learn their routines, understand their quirks, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is not only to give pet owners peace of mind, but to make sure their pets are happy, relaxed, and excited to see me again. When your pet is in my care, they receive the same level of attention, affection, and dedication that I give my own.

Reviews
Acacia was great, will definitely use her again.
Acacia got along with all 3 of my dogs, followed my written directions and was an overall good dog sitter . I will call on her friendly services again.
Freckles was a happy boy after his walk. Acacia is reliable, caring, and clearly great with dogs. I'd happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
Our dog is very insecure but Acacia won our dog over right away! She took care of Lucky at our house for 2 weeks while we were traveling abroad. She sent us regular updates and lots of pictures so we knew our little one was well taken care for. The house was spotless when we got back and our dog was in fabulous shape! Thanks Acacia for taking such good care of our fur baby!
