More about Werkara →Dog walking, exactly the way your dog needs it.
Every professional dog walker and pet walker on Werkara sets out what they offer — you pick what fits. The most booked dog walking services near you across Switzerland:
Daily dog walks
30- or 60-minute walks on your schedule — lunchtime rounds while you are at the office, or morning and evening walks on fixed days.
Daytime dog care
Your dog spends the working day with a local sitter instead of waiting at home alone — play, walks and company included.
Solo & group walks
Reactive or senior dogs get calm solo walks; social dogs can join small groups. You decide, the walker adapts.
Live updates
Photos and messages after every walk, route details on request — you always know how the walk went.
Puppy visits
Short midday visits for puppies: feeding, garden break and a little training repetition between your own sessions.
Holiday pet sitting
Travelling? Sitters also cover in-home pet sitting and overnight pet sitting at your place — for dogs, cats and small pets.

Dog walking in Switzerland — your questions
How much does a dog walker cost in Switzerland?
You agree the price directly with the dog walker. Typical rates are around CHF 20–30 for a 30-minute walk and CHF 30–45 for a 60-minute walk; daytime dog care is usually agreed as a day rate. Posting a task and receiving offers is free.
Who walks my dog while I am at work?
Local dog walkers registered on Werkara take over daytime walks and daytime dog care. You post your schedule, compare nearby walkers, meet them first and book the one your dog likes best — the same trusted person every time if you wish.
How do I find a dog walker near me?
Post your task in the Werkara app or on werkara.com — your district, your dog’s size and the walking times you need. Nearby dog walkers reply with offers; you compare profiles, arrange a free meet & greet and book in the app.
Dog walker or Hundepension — what is better for my dog?
A dog walker or sitter cares for your dog in its familiar environment, while a Hundepension (boarding kennel) means an overnight stay among many dogs. For most dogs, staying at home with a visiting walker is the less stressful option — and on Werkara it is often the more affordable one too.
Can I book the same dog walker regularly?
Yes. Most owners build a fixed routine with one walker — same days, same route, one familiar face for the dog — and keep a second walker as backup for holidays.
Does Werkara also offer pet sitting?
Yes. Werkara covers pet sitting services beyond dog walking: in-home pet sitting, overnight pet sitting while you travel, cat feeding and visits, and everyday pet care services — all through the same app.
How quickly will I get offers?
Most dog walking tasks across Switzerland receive first replies within hours. For a same-day walk, mark your task as urgent and nearby walkers are notified immediately.
