Local guide
Dog boarding in Bern, BE: what to know
Bern wraps around the Aare river in a tight loop, with the UNESCO old town on the peninsula and residential neighborhoods like Kirchenfeld, Breitenrain, and Laenggasse spreading outward. Dogs get river walks along the Aare, forested trails in the Bremgartenwald, and open green space at Rosengarten and Gurten. Petme in-home boarding connects you with verified sitters who incorporate these local walks into their daily routine, so your dog gets a real Bern experience rather than a cage.
Petme charges Bern pet owners 0% commission. The nightly rate you agree with the sitter is the complete price, no fees on top. Cashback is credited after each completed stay. Every booking includes up to CHF 20,000 in emergency veterinary coverage, a practical safety net in a city where unplanned vet visits can carry significant costs.
