Description
Hi!
We are a Swiss-Dutch couple, living in Wettswil (15 minutes from Zurich).
We are excpecting our first baby beginning of April, unfortunately the pregnancy has been tough!
That's why we are looking for someone to walk our dogs, other than that you're free to explore Switzerland!
We live in a nice 2 bedroom apartment wirth garden, only 15 minutes from Zurich and an hour hike away from the famous Uetliberg!
Our little family contains Spätzel and Fang the dogs and Barnaby the horse.
We are preferably looking for 1 person, as our guest room is not too big.
The animals are our babies, so experience with rescue dogs (both the dogs and the horse are rescue animals) would be preferred.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Animal Care
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Zurich is really close, as is Zug and Luzern. Public transport is really good and we have a car as well. The hikes are amazing, there is a shop and 2 restaurants in town, also great MTB trails.
Help
- Walking the dogs 2/3hours a day (they love hikes, so will show you the best places, with some luck there might be some snow and you go snow shoeing). They are strong tho, and love to run after cats, so you need to be able to handle that.
-keeping them company 1/2 days a week for a few hours
- Some minor cleaning once or twice a week would be appreciated
