About: Growing up, I've had animals that range from a teeny goldfish to a German Shepherd that was aptly named "Bear". I've been trusted watching not only my family's fur babies, but also those of my friends, neighbors, and anyone else who needs a helping hand. I've been caring for animals my whole life, and started offering animal walking/ sitting services as of 2 years ago. As an owner of two dogs and one cat myself, all with different personalities, I'm confident I can be a sitter you trust! I currently work from home and am available anytime with notice! Whether it's for a quick drop in or an overnight stay, I'm willing to be flexible and help make your busy days easier. I am well experienced in dogs and cats of all behaviors. Whether they are couch potatoes or feisty, I treat every animal with respect and care. I can crate animals, provide shots/pills, and make sure any other of their needs are met to keep them safe.
“Katherine did a great job taking care of our fur babies while we were on vacation. They were all relaxed and happy when we got home and the house was spotless. She sent us updates daily along with photos. Katherine was easy to work with.”
“Chris did an amazing job caring for our dogs. She communicated well with us and was very dependable and flexible when we were faced with a last minute change. We will definitely have Chris back to watch our dogs for future events.”
“Morganne did an incredible job with our pets and home. Great communication and updates, pets were well taken care of and our house was clean and neat. Extremely thoughtful. I highly recommend.”
About: I have loved and cared for animals since I was a kid! I have experience with a wide range of pets from a small lizard to a big Great Dane. I worked with all types of animals and know that they are all unique and lovable! I have experience in all kinds of pet care from in home stays to stop in feedings and walks to providing special care like giving medications. I am currently in a part time position so I have a very open schedule for frequent check ins, early mornings and multiple walks! I am also able to do longer overnight stays due to my wide availability. Since I have a lot of experience with different pets I’ll create an open and loving environment for your pet by meeting them where they are and allowing them to grow trust by respecting their space and providing them with the care and attention they are accustomed to!
“We’re so grateful Rachel was available to care for our sweet Shandy! From the start, she was super responsive and easy to communicate with. Shandy absolutely adored her, and it gave us so much peace of mind to receive photo updates while we were away. We could tell our girl was in great hands. We've already booked Rachel again—thank you so much for taking such great care of her!”
“Kylee was so incredible!!! She watched 4 dogs for a whole week and took such good care of them. She was super responsive and gave me updates! It also was super rainy the last few days and with 4 dogs and our yard is super muddy/ floors not good with mud and dog fur, we fully expected to walk into a filthy house but to our surprise the house was spotless. She went above and beyond to make the house look amazing even in the rain! We really appreciate it and will be absolutely be using her again in the future for any needs we have!”
About: I walked my neighbors dogs all throughout high school, I walked her two dogs every day and also made sure they had their snacks. I would also frequently dog sit for her in the summers between college semesters. I have two dogs of my own, a German shepherd lab mix and a golden retriever so I understand the important of attentive and quality pet care. My pups are like my children and I’ll treat yours just as great! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, I grew up with dogs and my personal dog is almost 5. I’m currently working but have available for weekends and drop in visits as well as walks. I end my work day fairly early so I’m also available for early evenings during the week I don’t keep other animals in my own home due to my personal dogs but I will treat your animals with the best care! Whatever their schedule may be, I’ll stick to it.
“Tammy was an amazing pet sitter. She was super attentive and responsive. She left my house spotless and even washed the sheets for me. She did periodic check ins and sent photos of the pups. I would highly recommend booking Tammy. She is sweet and very caring. I could tell my pups were well taken care of.”
“Sharon went above and beyond caring for my fur babies!! Extremely attentive to both of their special needs and was Johnny on the spot answering questions and providing pictures, as well as keeping my updated during the day of how things were going. She's a rockstar and would highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”
“Priscilla did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs. They are very anxious during summer storms and she tried to help them stay calm through every one. Highly recommend her to take care of your four-legged kids!”
“What can we say? Our English Bulldog and small cat are asking when we're going on vacay again. Melissa is now in high demand by our animals' and us! Melissa possesses a beautiful heart who loves and respects animals and humans alike. Melissa is an answer to prayer. She has a Spirit of Excellence and exceeds expectations.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Switzerland
Heather and Nick were amazing to deal with. They were very fluid with my schedule to set up a meet and greet and we instantly knew they would be the ones to watch our beloved pups. During their stay, Nick sent pictures and videos of Whiskey and Willow ensuring us that our pups were in good hands and enjoying their time with him. It helped our separation anxiety seeing them lol. Nick was very respectful of our house and even offered to wash the bedding prior to our return. If you’re in need of a house/pet sitter, look no further and reach out to Heather and Nick. I know we will!

FAQs for House Sitting - Switzerland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 605 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Switzerland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Switzerland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Switzerland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Switzerland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Switzerland. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
