A peaceful month with dogs & cats near Zurich, Switzerland

  Description

  Hi! I’m looking for a lovely, reliable and independent person – or a couple – to stay with me for about one month from October 25- nov 25th and share everyday life with me and my animals.
  
  I live in Adliswil, just around 20 minutes from Zurich by public transport, but my home is in a very peaceful and green area. It’s a great place if you enjoy nature, quiet surroundings and a slower rhythm, while still being close to the city.
  
  I’m an actress and during this month I’ll be working on a theatre production, with rehearsals in the mornings and performances in the evenings. Because of that, I’m looking for someone who can be a calm and reliable presence at home when I’m away.
  
  My little household includes two dogs and four cats, so this is definitely for someone who truly enjoys living with animals. 😊 You would help with walking the dogs, feeding everyone, keeping them company and making sure they feel safe and happy.
  
  It is very important to me that you already have good experience with dogs, ideally rescue dogs. Rescue dogs can sometimes have their own sensitivities, so I’m looking for someone who is calm, confident and respectful around them and understands their behaviour.
  
  I’d also love some help with cooking and simple everyday things around the house. I enjoy uncomplicated, healthy food, and it would be wonderful to share meals or have someone who doesn’t mind cooking now and then while I’m busy with the theatre.
  
  This stay could be especially nice for someone who is working remotely, writing, studying or working on a creative project, as there will be plenty of peaceful time for yourself. I won’t always be available to organise activities, so someone who is independent and enjoys their own projects and free time would be a great match.
  
  Couples are very welcome too and may even be a perfect fit, as you would have company while I’m busy with work.
  
  I’m easy-going, open-minded and uncomplicated, and I’d love this to feel like a friendly home-sharing experience rather than a formal job.
  
  In return, I offer:
  
  a comfortable place to stay
  
  food and meals
  
  a public transport pass
  
  a peaceful home close to nature and Zurich
  
  lots of animal company 🐾
  
  What matters most to me is finding someone trustworthy, warm, mature and genuinely experienced with animals.
  
  If this sounds like your kind of place, please tell me a little about yourself, your experience with dogs and rescue animals, and what you would like to do during your time in Switzerland.
  
  I’d love to hear from you!

  Help

  Since I have rehearsels in the morning, and shows at night, I would love some support with my animals and around the house. This includes walking, playing, cuddling, and, if you enjoy cooking, maybe even preparing a meal now and then (we can take turns, of course!).
  
  singer, actress, and producer, and I’d love to share this exciting time with someone who enjoys being around animals.
  
  What would be great:
  ✅ Experience with dogs & Cats
  ✅ Patience & understanding for shy or anxious dogs
  ✅ Help with feeding, playing & early puppy training sessions
  ✅ Comfortable around cats (since I have four!)
  ✅ Reliability & the ability to help independently
