A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Sion

Sion stretches across the Rhône plain, overlooked by the hills of Valère and Tourbillon, which makes for ideal dog terrain. Owners walk along the banks of the Rhône and the Sionne, while the trails climbing toward the vineyards and the Montorge hill offer loops a short step from the centre.

When demand peaks

The town mixes cantonal civil servants, HES-SO Valais students, and families settled in Bramois and Uvrier. Many commute by train toward Lausanne or Geneva, leaving pets alone during the day. The dry, sunny Valais summer and the festival season add seasonal demand for boarding and home visits.

Know your Sion areas

The valley floor makes Sion easy to cover by car and less pleasant on foot in the heat. Bramois, Uvrier and Chateauneuf sit out along the plain and are minutes away by road, while Platta, Champsec and Vissigen ring the centre. The Vieille-Ville between the two castle hills is beautiful and awkward for a handover with a car. Say where you can be reached and whether there is a place to stop, because most owners here arrive driving.

Breeds you will meet in Sion

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.

Bilingual owners book faster

Sion is in francophone Valais, with cantonal-government and HES-SO student households. French-speaking sitters who can also handle English requests from visitors fill their schedules faster in the summer season.

Dog care in Sion

Hot summers and a mountain hinterland shape Sion stays

Sion sits on the floor of the Rhone valley in the driest, sunniest part of Switzerland, and July afternoons here are genuinely hot. A boarded dog goes out at the beginning and the end of the day, along the Rhone banks or up toward Montorge where there is shade, and owners will ask how you plan to handle it. The other half of the market comes from above the valley. Households heading up to the resorts for a week leave dogs behind, and cantonal staff and students in Champsec and Vissigen travel down the valley toward Lausanne. Both produce multi-night stays rather than a single evening of cover.

Common questions

Dog Sitting Jobs in Sion

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Sion.

How much can I earn dog sitting in Sion?
Dog boarding on Petme in Sion 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 Sion?
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 Vieille-Ville or Champsec. You set your rates and availability per service.
What protection do I get on dog sitting bookings?
The Petme Protection Plan offers up to CHF 20,000 for eligible vet costs for the dog in your care, subject to its terms. The same terms apply across Vieille-Ville and Champsec.
Can I board dogs in an apartment in Sion?
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 Sion sitters board small and medium dogs from a flat near a park in Vieille-Ville or Champsec.
When does overnight dog sitting peak in Sion?
Around the weeks owners are away: the summer holidays, Christmas and New Year, and the ski season and February sports week. Sion 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 in Sion realistic alongside studies?
Boarding suits a student timetable because the dog is at home with you and the work is counted in nights. Sitters here take a dog over a weekend or through a holiday week and nothing in between. You set your own rate and accept or decline each request, so exam weeks stay clear.
Do Sion owners write in French or English?
French. Sion is in francophone Valais and the cantonal administration and the schools run in French, so a French profile reaches nearly everyone. English is worth adding for summer visitors, but the conversation about feeding and medication is almost always in French.
