A local edge

Local know-how pays off in Zurich

Zurich owners book overnight boarding and daytime daycare around work trips and holidays. Sitters who can host from a home or apartment near a park stay busy through the year.

When demand peaks

Boarding fills up around school holidays and business-travel periods, while daycare runs steadily through the working week.

Know your Zurich pickup areas

Daycare requests concentrate in the flat-dense districts west and north of the river, around Aussersihl, Wipkingen and Oerlikon, and along the lake in Seefeld and Enge. What owners weigh is the detour. A door a few minutes from their tram or S-Bahn stop beats a nicer garden twenty minutes off the route.

Breeds you will meet in Zurich

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.

Daycare in Zurich

What a daycare weekday looks like in Zurich

Zurich runs on the commute. Owners in Seefeld, Enge and Wipkingen are out of the door early and often not back until the evening, and that gap is what daycare fills. Hosts near a tram stop or an S-Bahn station get asked first, because the drop-off has to fit a journey that is already tight. In Wiedikon and Aussersihl most dogs come from flats with no garden, so a hosted day is paced by outings: a morning round, a longer midday walk on the Üetliberg or along the Limmat, rest, then a shorter loop before pick-up. Hottingen and Fluntern owners usually want two or three fixed weekdays rather than occasional cover, which is what turns daycare into income you can plan around.

Common questions

Doggy Daycare Jobs in Zurich

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

How much do doggy daycare hosts earn per day in Zurich?
Doggy daycare on Petme in Zurich runs CHF 60 to CHF 90 per day. You set your own day rate and headcount, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
Do I need a yard or a commercial space for daycare in Zurich?
No. Many Petme hosts run daycare from a home or an apartment with regular walk breaks, from Seefeld to Enge. You set how many dogs you accept at once and whether your space suits high-energy or large breeds.
Can I set my own daycare schedule and headcount in Zurich?
Yes. You choose your days, your hours, and how many dogs you host at a time, and you accept or decline each request. No assigned shifts and no minimum hours, whether owners come from Seefeld or Enge.
What protection comes with daycare 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 Seefeld and Enge.
What does a doggy daycare day involve?
Owners drop off in the morning and pick up after work. You provide a safe space, supervised play, water, rest time, and photo updates through the day. Most Zurich hosts take a small group they can manage comfortably.
What does a winter daycare day look like in Zurich?
Mostly indoors, in shorter bursts. A Zurich winter day runs on indoor play and rest with brief outdoor breaks inside the daylight window, towels by the door, and grit wiped off paws after every trip out. Daycare follows the working week, so it holds steady all year and picks back up each January once commuters are back at their desks.
Can I run doggy daycare in Zurich alongside another job?
Yes, because the work is self-employed and you choose your own days. Many Zurich hosts open two or three weekdays and keep the rest closed, which suits shift work, a study timetable or a part-time contract. You set the day rate, the headcount and the drop-off window, and you decline anything that does not fit.
Do I need German to take daycare bookings in Zurich?
German helps, since most Zurich owners write in German, but it is not a condition. Say on your profile which languages you work in, and owners from the international workplaces around the city will find you. Handovers are short and the rest is arranged in the booking chat, so you can take your time over a reply.
Is daycare on Petme in Zurich employment or self-employed work?
It is self-employed work you arrange directly with the owner, not a job with Petme. You decide your rate, your days and how many dogs you take. If you live in Zurich as a foreign resident or a student, check with your cantonal authority what independent side income your situation allows before you start.
