Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 18 CHF per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
When a company does wrong by an individual, and consistently reoffends them without any type of apology, for me that truly shows the underlying heart of the company. I am truly disgusted by what you have been and continue doing. You should be ashamed of yourselves for using and abusing people, especially those who tried to help when times were difficult for you. Truly shameful.
The best decision for my dog and me !

We absolutely love Dog Resorts! The care our dog received was excellent – Honcho was always happy and well cared for. The team has always supported and helped us over the last two years, especially in the moments when we needed it most. It was a great relief to know that he was in such good hands. The time Honcho spent there was full of joy for him and we are grateful for the loving care. We will miss Dog Resorts very much, and especially Honcho will never forget her! A big thank you to the entire team!
Super great team... warm and full of understanding. My buddy has epilepsy and needs special treatment...no problem for the team at all...everyone is super nice and caring...there's always someone there to cuddle with him and he loves his walks...he comes always happy when you go home....thank you for your love for animals
Lia has been at the Dog Resort Bern twice a week for several months now. Dog, owner and master are totally thrilled! It's really sweet and speaks for itself - how happy the dog is when it goes towards Huta and we notice that contact with other dogs is extremely valuable and important (who can offer their dog extensive contact with other dogs every day? ..)! We perceive the team to be very competent, flexible and responsible. Thank you for existing!
I highly recommend Dog Resort! My dog receives excellent care here and his individual needs are always taken into account. It's a joy to see how happy and content he always is. A place where you can leave your dog without any worries, as the team has the necessary knowledge and experience to take the best care of the dogs. The entire team is incredibly friendly and not only fulfills the wishes of the dogs, but also those of their owners. The offer is simply outstanding - I am convinced that you cannot find a better place for your furry friend. Every dog is in the best hands there.
I recommend everyone this fantastic place, run by really competent professionals, which is not something that can be taken for granted these days. Thank you very much, I can't believe I found such a great place. My dog, who is not easy to handle, felt really comfortable for the first time! Thanks again!
We have been loyal customers of Dog Resort Bern for years, and we couldn't be happier! Our dog Tata loves it here and always feels at home. The care and love they show our furry family member is simply incredible. We have complete trust in them when it comes to the care and well-being of Tata. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of us and Tata over the years!
DANGER! Biggest rip off I had a very bad experience with this kennel. In my opinion, it's a complete rip-off - my dog didn't feel comfortable there at all, which I noticed immediately the second time I dropped it off. He refused to go in. The carer had to pull/force him inside. Unfortunately, since I had to go to work, I had no choice but to give my dog away for a second day. I then got off work as quickly as possible to pick him up. He then wanted to withdraw from the contract on the grounds that he was not feeling well. The answer to this: "I'm sorry to hear that, but according to our terms and conditions we have a notice period of 1 month at the end of each month." It's a shame that the dog's feel-good factor doesn't seem to play a role here - you just want to make money! Goodwill seems to be a foreign word in this company. My tip to avoid this rip-off when you hand over the dog: do not sign a binding contract with this company or have your dog do two trial days, because the second time you hand it over to the company you can see whether your dog feels comfortable or not not. Unfortunately, I fell into the trap and now have to pay for 2 months for something I never used (7x 59.- for the day place and 2x 19.95 for a Beauty Plus, nail trimming and grooming = CHF 452.90). All in all, I cannot recommend this dog boarding facility to anyone. So stay away!
Jacqueline has been amazing with our two elderly cats! Living in different places, we had various cat sitters over the years and Jacqueline is definitely the best we had so far. She spends time and plays with our cats and even brings toys around to keep them entertained, which they enjoy very much (and they definitely expect much more playtime now :-) ) Our cats are much more relaxed when we return - and so are we because we know Jacqueline takes good care of them. She also sends regular picture updates so we know how they are doing. I very highly recommend her!
Jackie is a great Petsitter. She was very nice to my cat and overall provided a good service.
Jacqueline lovingly looked after our cats for ten days and demonstrated her exceptional competence and professionalism. When we first met her, it was clear how expert and committed she is. Her care not only included feeding and cleaning the litter box, but also a variety of games for our cats. She implemented this in a wonderful way. It was particularly gratifying for us as a family to receive regular pictures and videos of our cats from her. We can highly recommend Jacqueline. Thank you very much for your great and loving effort Jacqueline😸
Our cats were looked after for a week. It went great, getting to know each other beforehand was very pleasant. Receive occasional feedback during vacation. Were completely satisfied.
Jacqueline looked after our two cats for 4 days and we would recommend her at any time. While we were away we were kept informed with updates and photos. From the first moment you could tell how experienced Jacqueline is and so we were able to go on holiday completely relaxed. Thank you very much and see you next time 😊
Super great cat sitter! My cats felt completely comfortable and Jacqueline looked after them with a lot of love
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 stars plus!, Animal sitting with a lot of ❤️ Filling up the food bowl, cleaning the litter box, emptying the mailbox... all things that everyone can actually do. But what not everyone has is the direct connection to the animals, the passion and commitment to look after your animal family member with all your heart during your holiday absence. We can only warmly recommend Jacqueline and her pet sitting service to every pet owner, ... at any time and again, MERCI Jacqueline! 😻🏖️ Urs and Chantal Frei, June 2024 Animal sitting service #animalcare
TOP!!! Highly recommended!!!! We were on vacation for two weeks and during that time Jacqueline looked at our cat Vuitton! The regular updates with photos/videos showed us how much he enjoyed his time with her and didn't miss us at all. All-round service that we will definitely be happy to use again! Thank you very much, dear Jacqueline, for your loving commitment!!
Hello My name is Suki and Jacqueline feeds, plays with and does everything else I need. The care has now been extended several times... luckily for my wife and me it's not a problem for Jacqueline. With her flexibility she has taken a lot of weight off our minds - I just think Jacqueline is great... sometimes she reads something to me and she now also gives me the Gudis, which I like best She also makes sure our household runs smoothly. water the plants, get the mail and do other things like that. I just think Jacqueline is great and I'm SO GLAD she's coming to me! My wife and I are thrilled! So MEOW MEOW (thank you very much) Janine & Suki
I can only warmly recommend Jacqueline Portmann's pet sitting service. My cat Momo and I would also give more stars, 5 is not enough! He always looked forward to seeing her and was totally relaxed when I returned. There is no better way for an animal to show that everything is right here. We were happy and grateful to have found such professional and loving care in Jacqueline, dear Jacqueline, thank you very much for everything! Momo greets you from the other world..
My dog always spends relaxing days at Tane with stress-free dog contacts, which are very valuable. Additional vacation days are also possible at Tane. Thank you very much to the whole team!👌💞 …
Carina, our 3-year-old dog, has been going to the dog daycare once a week for more than two years. She also spent a short vacation there. We couldn't ask for a better place and shelter than with Tane and her team. They look lovingly and very kindly to Carina. In addition, it is very clean and tidy and the dog groups are carefully "put together" so that they are with dogs that also match their personality. We can highly recommend Tane and team.
Our beloved male Labrador, Merlin, has been going to Tane's dog daycare regularly since he was a puppy. We are happy to have found such a good place for Merlin, where we know that Tane and her employees treat the animals competently and kindly and offer them a great time.
My two Meersöuli are looked after tip top by Tane during all my holidays. Your special needs are taken into account so that I can enjoy my vacation with peace of mind. I can highly recommend the animal boarding house. Thank you to the whole team for your commitment👍👍🫶 …
personal after-school care, great animal care, incredibly clean, mega flexible, spacious run - our 4-legged friend feels right at home! merci tane and team!
I was very satisfied with the care given to my four guinea pigs, they didn't lack anything. very well-positioned and friendly atmosphere, great team, thank you
Our somewhat insecure four-legged friend feels very comfortable with Tane! Be this on individual days in the day camp, but also during a longer holiday stay. Bright, friendly and clean dog rooms, a large run in a safe and familiar environment. Loving and competent care from Tane and her family. Contact with Tane is always uncomplicated and reliable. Regular stays with Tane had a very positive impact on our furry friend's socialization deficits. We can warmly recommend it :-)
I experienced the same thing with my dog as Jan Locher. I had to put my dog in a separate room to fill out the paperwork for half a day. After an hour when I was back home the woman called because the dog was barking. !! I explained to her that he would have to get used to the environment. After another hour she called again and asked me to get the dog immediately, it wasn't working, he was restless and barking. I explained to her that I was still looking after the twins and would be with them at 8 p.m. She then threatened me that she would call the veterinary office and hand the dog over there. I was so shocked by this behavior and reaction, grabbed the 2 children and took the train from Friborg to Thörishaus to pick up my dog after a 2 hour stay. I've never experienced anything like this before. My circle of friends, all of whom have dogs, were very shocked at the behavior of these people. I've had dogs for over 25 years and occasionally put them in a boarding house, but I and my friends have NEVER experienced anything like this. A very special animal boarding house.
Great dog shelter. Tane and family are always very friendly, professional and helpful. My dog loves going to Tane's after-school care center and he is always well looked after. I definitely recommend it!
Great for dogs, professional care, our DD feels very comfortable
Absolutely the best decision to give our dog Benji to Villa Sabberlatz once a week. The whole team is very competent and, more importantly, with all their heart and passion! This gives him the opportunity to enjoy social contact in a protected environment every week. Seeing Benji's joy when he goes to Villa Sabberlatz clearly shows me that it's perfect for him too!!! Many thanks to the entire Sabberlatz team for your commitment and passion! 🐾 🐶
For us, Villa Sabberlatz made a dream come true: dog and 100% job It's reassuring to know that your dog is in the best hands when you can't be there for him. You can always rely on the Villa Sabberlatz team. For me, they are the most amazing, loving and competent girls James could have ever dreamed of. To James, they are family.
Really a great HUTA! Our bulldog is in the best hands at Villa Sabberlatz. A great, lovely team that lovingly looks after the four-legged friends. We have complete trust and are happy and grateful to be able to have our little one looked after regularly at Villa Sabberlatz. The Huta makes a well-groomed, dog-friendly impression. We can definitely recommend it. Thank you for your valuable work! Kind regards Cornelia M. with Eddy 🐶
I can highly recommend Villa Sabberlatz. The team is extremely competent and the well-being of the four-legged friends is absolutely the focus. Mila is always so happy when she can spend another day in the villa and have fun with her dog friends. Many thanks to the Villa Sabberlatz team!
Dogs really feel at home here. It's always great to see how much Mila enjoys going to this dog daycare center in the middle of Bern. Friendly reception in the morning when handing over, nice communication in the evening when picking up the dog. Everyone is competent, kind and warm. Great team! Bravo and thank you
Highly recommended. Although we can actually look after our dog ourselves, we regularly give him to Villa Sabberlatz. The contact with the other dogs is extremely good for him. The whole team takes such great care of our darlings. No matter what race, gender or size. With their experience they give the best for our dogs every day. They are competent and always friendly. They always find a solution if an unplanned incident occurs or respond individually to the dogs and their needs. The male dogs do not necessarily have to be castrated. Our dog is happy every time he is allowed to go there. Thank you very much Villa Sabberlatz.
Villa Sabberlatz is a great dog daycare center. I really can't imagine a better one. Lara treats the dogs lovingly and extremely professionally. My dog is always super happy to go there and I have complete trust in Lara.
Jemma is super happy in Villa Sabberlatz. The contact with Lara is always very friendly, solution-oriented and always with the best intentions for the dog in mind. We are always happy to recommend Villa Sabberlatz and are happy to have found such competent care for our Jemma. Thank you ladies! <3
Lara and Villa Sabberlatz are absolutely recommended! As a dog trainer and owner of a native dog, I am very sensitive about who I give my dogs to. Lara is friendly, professional and extremely flexible. No extra request is too much for her.
Super! I am super happy to have found the trustworthy Lara. My four-legged friend is in very good hands there and always looks forward to Villa Sabberlatz. This makes it easier for owners to give up their beloved animal. Lara understands dogs perfectly and takes individual, loving and warm care of the dog and its owner. Thank you!
