Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
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!
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
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!
