Local know-how pays off in Interlaken
Boarding demand in Interlaken peaks sharply in summer and winter when visitors and second-home owners travel, while local families sustain daycare and walks year-round. Rates here run among the highest in Switzerland.
When demand peaks
Boarding and daycare demand peaks in the summer and winter holiday seasons, when both visitors and locals travel. Book your availability early to catch the season.
Know your Interlaken areas
The valley floor is the catchment. Unterseen, Matten, Bonigen and Wilderswil are all a few minutes away, and Interlaken West and Ost are the two ends of the same street. Grindelwald and Lauterbrunnen sit up the valley by train, and those owners will travel to you rather than expect the reverse. Say which of the two stations you are near, because for anyone coming down from the mountain villages that is the whole decision.
Breeds you will meet in Interlaken
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.
Boarding at the gateway to the Jungfrau
Interlaken works in two seasons and both of them are travel seasons. Visitors leave dogs behind while they go up the mountain for a day or three, and the households running the hotels and the lifts need cover for exactly those weeks. The walking on offer is the selling point: the Hohematte in the middle of town, the Aare path between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, and the woods below the Harder for a climb. One practical point matters here and almost nowhere else. Wengen and Murren have no cars, so an owner coming down from either arrives by train with a dog and a bag and needs a handover near the station rather than at a house up a hill.

Dog Sitting Jobs in Interlaken
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Interlaken.
How much can I earn dog sitting in Interlaken?
Dog boarding on Petme in Interlaken runs CHF 55 to CHF 90 per night, with daycare and walks adding daytime income. You set your own rate per service, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
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.
Do I choose which dogs and bookings I accept in Interlaken?
Yes. You review each request, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline. No assigned bookings and no minimum hours, whether the owner is in Interlaken West or Interlaken Ost. You set your rates and availability per service.
What protection do I get on dog sitting bookings?
Every confirmed Petme booking, including boarding and daycare, includes CHF 20,000 in Protection Plan for the dog in your care, at no cost to you or the owner. The same cover applies across Interlaken West and Interlaken Ost.
Can I board dogs in an apartment in Interlaken?
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 Interlaken sitters board small and medium dogs from a flat near a park in Interlaken West or Interlaken Ost.
When does overnight dog sitting peak in Interlaken?
Around the weeks owners are away: the summer holidays, Christmas and New Year, and the ski season and February sports week. Interlaken 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.
Is pet sitting seasonal work in the Interlaken area?
It runs all year without being flat. Summer and winter bring visitors and the people who serve them, and local families in Unterseen and Matten book boarding through the school holidays. You choose the weeks you are available and set your own rate per service, so you can lean into the peaks or keep a steady year.
Do visitors to Interlaken book sitters in English?
Often, yes. The area is German-speaking and local owners write in German, while visiting households almost always write in English, so listing both puts you in front of both. Whatever the language, get the feeding, medication and walk instructions in writing before the owner heads up the mountain.
