Find dog boardingWhat is in-home dog boarding?
A real home for your dog while you are away
In-home dog boarding means your dog stays as a guest in a verified Swiss sitter\'s private home rather than a commercial kennel. They sleep on a sofa, go on neighbourhood walks and follow a real domestic routine. For most dogs that is the difference between coming home calm and coming home stressed.
Petme is a Switzerland-wide marketplace for verified in-home dog boarders. Every sitter has been through ID verification and accumulates public reviews from other Swiss owners. Every booking automatically includes up to CHF 20,000 of vet protection. Owners pay a flat 0% commission, the nightly rate you agree with your sitter is the full price.
Whether you need boarding in Zurich-Kreis 5, a quiet pocket of Geneva, or a ski-week stay in Zermatt or Verbier, Petme lists verified local sitters with prices that match the local market. Browse profiles, read reviews, schedule a free meet-and-greet, and book, with cashback earned after every completed stay.

Home boarding vs traditional kennel
Why most dogs do better in a home, not a kennel
Kennels are loud, group-housed and rely on rotating staff. In-home dog boarding gives your dog a private space, consistent care and a real domestic routine.
A home environment, not a cage
Your dog sleeps on a sofa or a bed, lives in a private home and follows a calm domestic routine, far less stressful for older dogs, anxious dogs and dogs not used to other animals.
One sitter, not a rotating shift
Care is provided by a single verified sitter for the full duration of the stay. No handoffs, no different staff members at feeding, walking and bedtime.
Real walks in real neighbourhoods
Daily walks happen in neighbourhoods, parks and trails, not a kennel exercise yard. Most Petme boarders walk dogs 2-4 times a day.
Photos, videos and message updates
You get photo and message updates throughout the stay, so you can see how your dog is settling in, what they ate and how the day is going.
Free meet-and-greet first
Every Petme sitter offers a free meet-and-greet at their home before the booking starts. You see the space, your dog meets the sitter and you commit only if it is the right fit.
CHF 20,000 vet protection on every stay
Every booking automatically includes up to CHF 20,000 in emergency veterinary coverage with Swiss partner vets. A level of safety that kennel stays rarely provide.
Built on trust
