Local know-how pays off in Chur
Chur sits where the Plessur meets the Rhine, and that shapes the daily walk: the flat Rhine riverside loop suits every dog, while the Stadtwald and Fürstenwald above Welschdörfli and Sand stay shaded for longer summer outings. The local mountain Brambrüesch and the Mittenberg add steeper options for active dogs.
When demand peaks
As the cantonal capital and an administrative and education hub, Chur sees many commuters and students whose dogs need daytime care on weekdays. As the gateway to the Graubünden mountains, it also draws seasonal tourism that brings short-notice weekend and holiday bookings.
Know your Chur areas
Chur is compact and laid out along the valley floor, so nearly every quarter is within a quarter of an hour of the station. Masans, the Rheinquartier and Araschgen are the family areas, while Welschdorfli and Sand sit at the foot of the woods. Owners driving to a resort will detour through town if the handover is quick, so say whether a car can stop near your door and whether you can meet at the station.
Breeds you will meet in Chur
Owners here mostly keep Bernese Mountain Dogs, Labradors, Border Collies, French Bulldogs. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.
Chur boards the dogs that stay behind in ski season
Chur is the doorway to the Graubunden resorts, and much of the traffic through it is people on their way somewhere a dog cannot follow. That produces winter boarding in a town that is otherwise steady, alongside the cantonal administration and the colleges that keep households on a weekday rhythm. The walking is unusually good for a small city: the Rhine path is flat and open, the Stadtwald and Furstenwald above Sand stay shaded, and the Mittenberg gives you a climb with the Calanda in view. Say how far you actually walk, because owners here have used dogs to hills and they will ask.

Can I board dogs in an apartment in Chur?
Yes. You set your own house rules: the dog sizes you accept, how many dogs at once, and whether your home suits high-energy breeds. Many Chur sitters board small and medium dogs from a flat near a park in Altstadt or Welschdörfli.
What is the difference between dog boarding and doggy daycare?
Boarding is overnight, billed per night, while the owner travels. Daycare is daytime only, billed per day, for owners at work. You can offer either or both and set a separate rate for each.
When does overnight dog sitting peak in Chur?
Around the weeks owners are away: the summer holidays, Christmas and New Year, and the ski season and February sports week. Chur owners book those dates well ahead, so opening your calendar for them early is what fills a new host's first season. Winter stays mean more indoor time and grittier walks, so agree the walk and drying routine at the meet and greet.
Are there part time jobs in Chur that work around a weekday job?
Boarding does, because it is paid per night and happens at home. Sitters here often take a dog for a ski weekend or a school-holiday week and nothing in between. You set the nightly rate, publish the dates you can host, and accept or decline each request yourself.
What gets a sitter booked for boarding in Chur?
The walking you can actually offer and the space the dog will have. Owners here compare sitters on whether a dog gets a real hour outside, so naming the Rhine path or the Furstenwald says more than a general promise. Add the dog sizes you take and whether other animals live in the house.
