House sitting in Switzerland

Do you adore pooches as much as you do chocolate? Want to stay in the global chocolate capital for free? It’s time to go house sitting in Switzerland. The animals of Switzerland are counting on you! Give them love and hugs while their owners are away and stay in gorgeous places without spending anything on hotels. That’s free accommodation in Switzerland with adorable pets! 

House sitting in Switzerland is the perfect way for animal lovers to experience Helvetia, whether it's exploring the works of Klee, roaming the Alps or tasting Swiss treats. House sitting jobs don't get more delicious than this. 

Gastronomic marvels

You can't enjoy house sitter jobs in Switzerland without experiencing local gastronomy, so why not take a food tour? Try a Zurich cheese fondue trip or take a walking chocolate tour. You'll experience Switzerland's finest artisan confectioners and chocolate producers while you cruise the land of Lindt. You don't need to have a sweet tooth to go house sitting in Switzerland. The nation takes its cheese as seriously as it does its chocolate, so this is your opportunity to take a dog-friendly hike through the Bernese Oberland, where Alp cheese originates.

Walkies in the Alps

No Switzerland house sitting tour is complete without a hike through the Alps. Pack a picnic and a harness before heading out to Glacier Canyon. The Grindelwald trail is an easy 4 kilometres, so even small dogs can manage it. The Waterfall trail is equally unambitious and perfect for dogs who love to swim. Feeling ambitious? Grande Dixence's glacier-lined trails are long enough for even the most energetic huskies and collies. 

Medieval castle tours

The best way to tour Europe's medieval castles is while looking after a dog in Switzerland. Your doggy companion will add plenty of tail-wagging joy to your trip, so pack some treats and visit Chillon Castle on the shore of Lake Geneva. You'll see spectacular views of the Alps and experience the home of the Counts of Savoy. Gruyeres Castle is just as spectacular. It's built on the hilltop overlooking the medieval town, so this is your opportunity to sample Gruyere cheese in its original habitat. Looking after a dog in Switzerland is delicious, fascinating and fun when you have man's best friend at your side. 

Historic tours

Taking care of a cat in Switzerland opens the door to a whole host of museums and galleries. The Zurich City Highlights tour includes a ferry ride and a tour of the Swiss National Museum. Walking tours are a slower way to experience the Old Town and its famous St Peter's Church. You can also explore the alleys of Niederdorf and the iconic Fraumünster Church. Switzerland cat trips are perfect for art fanatics, so feed kitty and head to Kunsthaus. This museum's art begins in the Middle Ages and ends in the modern era.
