What is in-home doggy daycare?

A real home for your dog while you are at work

Swiss work days are long, and leaving a dog alone for 8 to 10 hours is hard on both the dog and the owner. In-home doggy daycare is the calmer alternative to commercial facilities: instead of dropping your dog into a shared room with 20 to 40 other dogs and a rotating staff, your dog spends the day as a guest at a verified sitter's home. They nap on a sofa, take real neighborhood walks, eat their own food on their normal schedule, and get one-to-one attention from a single caregiver.

Petme is a Switzerland-wide platform for verified in-home daycare sitters. 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% platform fee. The daily rate listed on the sitter's profile is exactly what you pay.

Whether you live in Zurich, Geneva, Basel, or any other Swiss city, Petme shows you daycare sitters within a radius of your address. Browse profiles, read reviews, schedule a free meet-and-greet, and book. Cashback lands automatically after every completed day of daycare.

In-home daycare vs commercial daycare

Why most dogs do better in a home

Commercial daycares stack dozens of dogs into shared rooms with rotating staff. In-home daycare gives your dog a calmer environment, fewer companions, and a single consistent caregiver.

A home, not a shared room

Your dog spends the day in a private home with one to three other dogs at most, far less stressful than commercial facilities that group 20 to 40 dogs together.

One sitter, not a rotating shift

Care comes from a single verified sitter all day long. No handoffs at lunch or shift changes, just one consistent person who knows your dog.

Real walks in real neighborhoods

Daily walks happen in neighborhoods and parks, not an indoor exercise yard. Swiss sitters walk daycare dogs 2 to 4 times a day along routes they know well.

Photo updates throughout the day

You get photos and messages so you can see how your dog is doing, what they ate, and what walk they had, instead of just a generic facility report card.

Free meet-and-greet first

Every Petme sitter offers a complimentary meet-and-greet at their home before the first booking. See the space, meet the sitter, and commit only if it is the right fit.

CHF 20,000 vet protection on every day

Every daycare booking automatically includes up to CHF 20,000 in emergency vet coverage. Swiss partner vets bill Petme directly, you pay nothing upfront.

How much does doggy daycare cost in Switzerland?
In-home doggy daycare in Switzerland typically runs CHF 40 to CHF 95 per day, depending on the city. Zurich and Geneva sit at the higher end; Bern, Lucerne, and Winterthur are more affordable. Petme charges 0% commission to pet owners, so the daily rate you agree with the sitter is the full price.
Is in-home daycare better than commercial daycare?
For most dogs, yes. Commercial daycares group 15 to 40 dogs in shared rooms with rotating staff. In-home daycare gives your dog a calm home environment, 1 to 3 dogs at most, real neighborhood walks, and a single consistent caregiver throughout the day.
What hours can I drop off and pick up?
Most Petme Swiss daycare sitters accept drop-offs from 7 to 9 AM and pickups from 5 to 7 PM, matching typical work hours. Message the sitter directly to confirm your preferred timing before booking.
Do daycare sitters take dogs on walks during the day?
Yes. Walks are part of every full daycare day. Swiss sitters typically walk daycare dogs 2 to 4 times, mixing neighborhood loops with park and lakeside routes depending on the weather and the dog.
Can I book recurring weekly daycare?
Yes. Many Swiss sitters accept weekly or multi-day schedules, often at a small discount. Message your preferred sitter to set up Monday to Friday daycare or a two to three day weekly arrangement.
What if I have more than one dog?
Many Petme sitters accept multi-dog households. Message the sitter before booking to confirm they can take your dogs together. Rates for a second dog are typically discounted.
