Pet care experience
I've taken care of pets since I was a child. I've had different pets: cat, fish, turtle, parrot. I had been afraid of dogs until around 6 years ago when I volunteered at a dog shelter. When I was 8 years old, a couple dogs on the street attacked me and bit. That childhood experience with my leg bleeding and hurting left a trauma for a long time. Until I decided to overcome my fear and learn to love dogs. I intentionally volunteered at a dog shelter because I thought the only way to overcome that trauma would be getting to know dogs better and become friends with them. That 3 months dog shelter experience was one of the most wonderful and breakthrough time in my life. Those dogs taught me love, kindness, and friendship. After I came back home, I wanted to find a way to continue being with dogs until I have my own. And that’s how I started this job. I have an experience sitting pets with special needs, with anxieties, senior pets and high-energy puppies. I also have experience training dogs with different commands. Ask away anything if you have any particular questions for me! And I’m looking forward to spending time with your fur baby!
Reviews
Aciela K. did a wonderful job. She made it easy for us to feel comfortable leaving our baby for the first time overnight. She is very conscientious and wants to know all about your pets habits and needs. She made it easy for us to enjoy our time away without worrying about Rudy.
Aciela took great care of Scout! Would recommend highly!!
Aciela is so wonderful with our dog, Betty. She stayed at our house for 11 days while we drove home to see family. She takes such wonderful care of our family member and I cannot recommend her enough!
Aciela is an amazing dogsitter and person. We absolutely love having her with our dog, she spent about 5 days with our dog recently. She sends lovely updates/pictures daily and really gets to know the pet. She’s simply the best, we highly recommend Aciela. She’s the best dog sitter that we’ve ever worked with.

I provide care for pets at clients’ home. I follow all the instructions clients give regarding pets’ routine, feeding, schedule, etc. I walk dogs in a neighborhood, take them to a dog park nearby. I also stay inside with dogs and cats and give them all the love they need!
Information Aciela K. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to have a note from you with all the instructions with as many details as possible. That includes pets’ routine, schedule, feeding, walking, food restrictions, allergies, particular things about their characters, habits, meds list if they are on any meds, anything they fear of (e.g., thunderstorms), etc.
A typical day
I take dogs for a walk. Play with them in a yard. Play some training games where I’d teach them commands. Play with cats indoors.

I am self-employed and have my little online project. I work part-time from home. I am also a dance teacher and teach a few evenings a week at a dance studio in VA for 1-2 hours. I house sit pets. Meaning, I stay full time at your home with your fur babies while you’re away. If needed, I water plants. And I bring in all the mail and packages delivered to your home while you’re gone.
