We are a couple (Patrick, 38years and Michaella, 25years) looking to care for small to medium sized dogs in Lugano.

We are professional (working full time) Ex-pats living in Switzerland, unfortunately our dog Max was too old to move to Lugano with us (he now lives with our family back in South Africa). We have +10 years experience and would be very happy to take care of your dog.

As previous dog owners, we know how important it is to have your pet in good care and loved.

We will happily follow all dietary and special instruction, and ensure that your dog's every need is catered for.

We only accept socialized dogs for short term periods (weekday evenings, weekends and long weekends). We look forward to meeting you in your beautiful 2-bedroom apartment in Loreto, Lugano.

Our only ask is that your dog is delivered in good condition (recently washed).

We are 2 minutes walk to the lake Lugano walkway. We would anticipate 2 short walks (1km each) and one long walk (3-5kms per day on weekends). We are the only people in our apartment and don't have any other pets. Our apartment is a perfect place for dogs - our open plan space gives us full visibility to ensure that your dog is monitored throughout the day.

There is no garden, but we have a great balcony and open plan lounge. As such, all dogs we care for need to be toilet-trained.

The dogs sleep in doors, either in the lounge area or in our bedroom (whichever is preferable).

Very flexible on hours, and we have a vehicle (but drop-off is preferable). There are several vets in our area in case of emergency.

We welcome home inspections and "meet n greet" before proceeding with dog care.

English is preferable but we are learning Italian.

Contact us for more information, questions or further information you may require. We would be happy to talk.
