“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”
“Suzanne was awesome with my pups. From our first meeting to the pickup she was great with communication and efficiency. I could tell my pups enjoyed their stay and will definitely be reaching out to Suzanne for further boardings. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Alexandra was an incredible pet sitter for my almost 3-year-old mini bull terrier. Alexandra is a clear communicator, proactive, kind, responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog stayed with Alexandra and her two kiddos for 5 days/nights, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because of Alexandra's excellent communication. She kept me updated and texted me each day before I had a chance to worry about anything (after all, she was caring for my fur baby!). I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in loving and attentive hands, and I could text any time I felt the need. My dog is super friendly and also has some behavior quirks. She can get overexcited, and Alexandra had no problem following all the care instructions. She noticed my dog's comfort or discomfort and ensured she got what she needed. When I picked up my pup, she was quite content and even gave Alexandra a little lick goodbye, which told me even more about the care Alexandra and her family gave my little one. So many thanks, and I will definitely book again!!”
“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”
“Chad helped us look after our dog while we were getting married, and brought him to the church for a photo op. He was very responsive and would highly recommend him.”
“Our Miss Lexie had a wonderful stay. Chawntea treated our baby girl like family. She made new furry friends, which helps her socialization skills. Chawntea was so flexible with our ever-changing travel plans. Shout out to Southwest. She sent updates and pics while we were away, which brought smiles to our faces. Without a doubt, we will be using her services in the future.”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“I am so grateful to have found Kelly. She is very intentional about providing excellent care and I felt completely at ease with Ginger in her care. She sent updates and photos and I could see my Ginger was happy. Thank you Kelly!”
“Megan is the absolute best petsitter! Pippa stayed at her house for a week, and I could tell she was in great hands the whole time. Megan, as usual, kept me updated with cute photos and little check-ins, which really put me at ease. Pippa came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for one more time. Will definitely be booking with Megan again and again!”
“Meera was such an awesome sitter for our Bubba! She had him for 3 days and each day she provided us with pictures and videos of him playing with her sweet dog Riley as well as an update about their days adventures. We will definitely be working with Meera again if we are ever out of town!”
“Hy and Arlo were amazing as usual! They took great care of our dog during fireworks, always concerned about his needs and are so flexible and accommodating when we had a flight delay. There’s a reason Clutch always come back happy and loved!”
“We had our puppy stay with Kennia for a week, and she was wonderful. She took great care of him and followed all our instructions. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which helped us feel at ease while we were away. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and takes time to understand them. Our puppy came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Erika was AMAZING!!!! She sent me lovely updates and pictures of Bentley while we were away. Bentley was happy and jumping when I picked him up so I am confident he had a great time with Erika and sweet pea! :) Thank you so much for taking care of our baby!!! We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“Kathryn, Christopher, and their family were so kind and accommodating to my dog, Riley over the holiday. I received pictures and updates on how he was settling in. I would absolutely go to them for pet care and boarding again, and would recommend them with no hesitation. Thanks for caring for my sweet old guy!”
“Pearl was very responsive and took great care of Teddy along with her roommate Justin. They also had two other pups that Teddy got to play with, which was great. At the end of the stay they gave me some nice photos they took of Teddy, which was a nice gift!”
“I just started fostering a dog, and I’m so scared to leave him with anyone. My dog just went through major hip surgery, and is on a strict medication schedule along with PT range of motion exercises and a strict bed rest. Beatryx took the time to meet me and ask exactly what I wanted during Pepe’s boarding. They asked all the right questions and assured me that Pepe would be in great care. The day when I had to leave Pepe, I ran into some complications at work and had to reschedule the drop off time. Beatryx was so understanding and flexible about everything. They sent me pictures every hour because they knew how anxious I was. Pepe was so happy that when we went to leave he had to go back and give Beatryx extra kisses. I would definitely leave Pepe with Beatryx again and again!”

“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”

“Jisselle took wonderful care of my cat! He loved her and jumped right into her arms when he met her. She was punctual, communicated well and often, and she followed the specialized instructions. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.”
“Briana was a fantastic person to work with for pet sitting! We needed a last minute cat sitter and she was able to accommodate our needs. She let me know when she checked in and sent me photos and videos to show me that Daisy (our kitty) was doing just fine. Briana was very nice and professional! I would definitely book her in the future to watch Daisy or our pup, Sierra.”
“Nina was a lifesaver and agreed to watch Butterscotch last minute after another sitter cancelled. She asked great questions during the meet and greet, and was very communicative. My cat is very shy, but she seemed to really like Nina! Nina sent me lots of photos and videos of her cuddling and playing. I asked Nina to do a key exchange with another sitter, and Nina handled that extra snafu with ease. Very grateful for her!”
“My husband and I highly recommend Zen! She has been great with our two cats, who are young and playful but also have special diets and require extra care. She is diligent, communicative, and thoughtful. Plus she even won over our little scaredy-cat!! What a gem! Thanks Zen!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I had a chocolate Lab for years, he was my best buddy and taught me so much about caring for dogs at every stage, from puppy zoomies to senior naps. I know how important it is to find someone you can really trust with your pet. I’m patient, reliable, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pup loves playtime, or just hanging out and getting belly rubs, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I work from home, so I’m around most of the day and have plenty of time to give pets attention and play breaks.

“Our recently adopted puppy had his first doggy daycare stay with Beatryx. Beatryx made sure that we felt comfortable that our puppy would be introduced to other pups in a measured and controlled way, and that Beatryx would give us updates about our pup's day. Sure enough we got plenty of picture updates, our pup made friends, and was happy as a clam when we picked him up.”
“Lily is a wonderful sitter that loves my dog as if she were her own! I would definitely reach out to Lily if I need care for Nyxie again. You will not regret asking her to care for your beloved pup ❤️ Thanks so much Lily!”
“Briana came through for us in a pinch, responding promptly to our daycare request and providing top-notch care for our pup. We felt completely at ease leaving her with Briana, especially knowing that she also had a furry friend in Banks. Briana's regular updates, with videos and pictures, kept us connected and reassured throughout Maple's stay. The extra gesture of taking Maple on a lengthy walk, keeping her occupied with toys and treats, speaks volumes about Briana's dedication and kindness. Maple returned home happy and thoroughly worn out—a thank you Briana!”
“Kai and I enjoyed Chawntea so much that we rebooked. As a first time furbaby mom it’s hard to just leave my baby with anyone. I am so glad to have found her.”
“Emerson and his family were great sitters for Bernie. Communication was strong, he even sent pictures and a video to let me know how things were going. We meet the day before so that they would be familiar to my dog. It was a good match from the very beginning. We will definitely use them again.”
“Chad took excellent care of my young and energetic greyhound with a lot of separation anxiety. When I picked her up she was happy and excited, but she didn’t show any signs of distress. Prior to my dog’s stay at his home Chad had invited us over for a meet&greet and he took a lot of time to inquire about my dog’s character and behaviors, which made me very confident that things would be alright. Chad was also willing to accommodated my travel schedule. I am happy with the experience and hope he will be available next time I have to go out of town.”

About: I care for pets like my own. I go above and beyond and make sure they are clean and happy. I love taking the dogs I care for on long walks and I also enjoy playing with them, and giving them attention through a good 'ole fashioned belly rub. I am happily retired and love animals. My husband and I were pet owners to a beautiful spunky, honey-colored Pomeranian, named Daisy. Sadly she passed away in 2021 after 13 beautiful years together. I haven't replaced her since. I dog/pet sit for my friends' dogs on occasion. Pet sitting helps fill the void of my Daisy and I would like to do it more for those that may need it. My friends and family entrust me with their pets because they know I will care for them as my own. When I dog sit, I give them attention, play with them, and take them on walks. If I'm not taking them for a walk around the neighborhood or the local park, I have a backyard for them to handle their immediate business. I have a fenced backyard, a spacious living room and a large bonus room that is connected to our living room that allows dogs space to roam around. And if requested, I can also administer medications or have your dog sleep in their crate, if needed.
“Megan accepted a drop in visit in advance of two upcoming overnight stays to help acclimate Bailey to being in a new environment. Megan is loving and caring towards Bailey and really made her feel comfortable while in her care. It’s nice to find someone you trust to care for your dog when needed, and Megan is that person for us.”

“My two large dogs get so excited when they find out they’re going to Natalia’s house! They are well cared for and tended to throughout the day and they especially love the large backyard where they can play and rest. I recommend her services.”
“Baxter had a great day with Kim and her human and dog crew. :) She sent pics with fun commentary several times (much appreciated -- especially on the first day!. Baxter was wiped out in the evening after a day of play. Kim is clearly a pro at dog care. She was very engaged in our meet and greet and asked lots of good questions. She's very pleasant to chat with and communicates proactively. Looking forward to Baxter's next stay!”
About: I grew up in a household where we always had cats and dogs, and it was the best!! Now, I have a sweet dog and our newest addition, a rescue cat. Our home has two lush green lawns where our pets love to play. Because I work from home, I’m available to nurture and care for my pets all day long. I work remotely from home, so I am free all day to walk pets, entertain pets, and take pets out to potty. Because I already own a dog and cat, caring for others’ will align perfectly with my schedule. I have a large fenced yard with a grassy lawn where your fur baby can sun bathe, run, and play as desired. I like to send photos/video/updates in batches at the start and end of the day unless requested otherwise.

“Jonathan was fantastic with Roman this weekend! His communication was excellent from start to finish. He kept me updated throughout the walk and sent photos and videos so I could see Roman having a great time. He also made sure Roman was fed and taken care of exactly as instructed.

“Natasha has been awesome with my fur baby. He enjoys his outing with her, she is attentive to belly rubs and giving my baby love while in her care. Very responsive to my crazy work schedule and stays in communication with me if any changes. I look forward to continued care with her!!”

“Absolutely wonderful from start to finish! Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. I had a few specific instructions for my pup’s stay, and not only were they followed perfectly—they even offered helpful suggestions and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. The level of care and attention my dog received was outstanding, and I could tell he felt right at home the moment we arrived. There’s a warm, calming energy in this home that you can feel immediately and clearly, my pup felt it too. I’m beyond grateful and will definitely be booking again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to see you all again soon!”
“Alexandra was an incredible pet sitter for my almost 3-year-old mini bull terrier. Alexandra is a clear communicator, proactive, kind, responsible, attentive, and loves animals. My dog stayed with Alexandra and her two kiddos for 5 days/nights, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation because of Alexandra's excellent communication. She kept me updated and texted me each day before I had a chance to worry about anything (after all, she was caring for my fur baby!). I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in loving and attentive hands, and I could text any time I felt the need. My dog is super friendly and also has some behavior quirks. She can get overexcited, and Alexandra had no problem following all the care instructions. She noticed my dog's comfort or discomfort and ensured she got what she needed. When I picked up my pup, she was quite content and even gave Alexandra a little lick goodbye, which told me even more about the care Alexandra and her family gave my little one. So many thanks, and I will definitely book again!!”
“Megan and Jenny were amazing! They watched our dog, Beni, while we were out of the country for over two weeks for vacation and sent us daily, adorable, photo updates of him relaxing and playing with the other dogs that overlapped with his stay. He came back happy and healthy and seemed to have the best time. We were joking that he got to go on a vacation too! Will definitely book them to watch Beni again.”
“Chad helped us look after our dog while we were getting married, and brought him to the church for a photo op. He was very responsive and would highly recommend him.”
“I received a lot of communication, videos and pictures from Jonathan. It was clear that our Minnie was being taken good care of and having a good time. This made us feel so happy that we can go out of town and leave her in good hands!”
“Meera was such an awesome sitter for our Bubba! She had him for 3 days and each day she provided us with pictures and videos of him playing with her sweet dog Riley as well as an update about their days adventures. We will definitely be working with Meera again if we are ever out of town!”
“Hy and Arlo were amazing as usual! They took great care of our dog during fireworks, always concerned about his needs and are so flexible and accommodating when we had a flight delay. There’s a reason Clutch always come back happy and loved!”
“We had our puppy stay with Kennia for a week, and she was wonderful. She took great care of him and followed all our instructions. She kept us updated with photos and messages, which helped us feel at ease while we were away. You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and takes time to understand them. Our puppy came home happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Kristen and Ryan were very welcoming of our pup! They were understanding of her nuances and helped her adjust to a new environment fast. They have a nice spacious home with a big backyard that our dog loved relaxing in. Kristen and Ryan were very communicative throughout the stay and sent daily updates with photos. 100% recommend!”
“Kathryn, Christopher, and their family were so kind and accommodating to my dog, Riley over the holiday. I received pictures and updates on how he was settling in. I would absolutely go to them for pet care and boarding again, and would recommend them with no hesitation. Thanks for caring for my sweet old guy!”
“I just started fostering a dog, and I’m so scared to leave him with anyone. My dog just went through major hip surgery, and is on a strict medication schedule along with PT range of motion exercises and a strict bed rest. Beatryx took the time to meet me and ask exactly what I wanted during Pepe’s boarding. They asked all the right questions and assured me that Pepe would be in great care. The day when I had to leave Pepe, I ran into some complications at work and had to reschedule the drop off time. Beatryx was so understanding and flexible about everything. They sent me pictures every hour because they knew how anxious I was. Pepe was so happy that when we went to leave he had to go back and give Beatryx extra kisses. I would definitely leave Pepe with Beatryx again and again!”
“Inkoo was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Pancho—sending us daily updates with multiple photos and thoughtful notes that really put our minds at ease while we were away. She communicated clearly and consistently, and it was clear from the pictures that Pancho was happy, well cared for, and having a great time—especially at the dog parks she took him to! Inkoo is warm, reliable, and incredibly detail-oriented. We’re so grateful to have found her and will definitely consider her again for any future pet sitting needs.”
“Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!”
About: I have only pet-sat for friends doggos and cats in the past. Now that we are in a bigger place with a small yard, I’d love to work with you and your dogs. I will follow your directions and love your doggo right. I have had several Ridgebacks and Dobermans, a greyhound, and a viasla in my life and now love my two small ones - a rat terrier mix and a Pinchiweenie. I work from home and my desk is downstairs right by the back door so the door is open all day for my pets to go out as they please. I live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks for nice walkies around my neighborhood which has lots of grassy areas. I have time throughout the day for walks if needed and I make a point to have playtime with balls or toys throughout the day. We live just a few minutes from Oakland Airport in an 2 story townhome with a small (20 ft x 20ft), fully enclosed yard with areas for potties. It has great morning and early afternoon sun and I always have beds outside for sunning. The door is open for them to goes out as they want. We allow our pets in the couch and I office downstairs to keep an eye on the doggos. I have several water bowls around for hydration. I feed my girls a combination of kibble and homemade dog food, so “special meals” are not an issue for me.
“Briana took great care of my dog Franklin while I was out of town for a week! She sent pictures regularly and took him on fun walks and outings. Highly recommended!”
“Lilian watched our high energy and barky dog while we were on vacation. She took great care of her and took her on a hike every day! She was communicative and we would definitely use her again!”
“Jonathan and Tatiana were great for our dog! We had a last minute need and they rescued us in the eleventh hour. We are so grateful for their family and the care they showed our dog. They took him to the park everyday and sent updates every evening for the week he was with them. I would highly recommend anyone boarding with them. I won’t even waste my time looking for a different sitter in the future, they are my go to!”
