Find a babysitter or pet sitter in your valley
Find care for your children or pets: local babysitters, pet sitters and facilities across Valtellina, Valchiavenna and the Grisons. Browse profiles free, see what was checked, and choose at your own pace.
Hi there!Babysitters and pet sitters who actually live in these valleys. Browsing profiles and reading the references is free: you only pay to write first.
Valleys, not radius
Fifteen kilometres from Bormio can mean ten minutes or a pass closed by snow. Search is organised by valley and real travel time, never by a circle on a map.
Checks you can read
No adjectives. Each profile states what was verified and when: ID document checked against a live selfie, plus a written reference where the sitter has added one.
Two countries, two currencies
Rates in euros and Swiss francs, and both Italian and Grisons public holidays — they rarely coincide.
How it works
Browsing profiles is free and always will be. Replying to a message you receive is free. You only pay to write first — with a subscription if you live here, or with a Tourist Pass if you are here for a week or two. It is simple: read, choose, write, agree. The four steps, in detail.
Families and sitters agree the rate and settle payment directly between themselves. AlpenSitter takes no commission on the sitter's fee and is not a party to the arrangement. We are a listing service, not an employment agency.
What we actually verify
We check each sitter's identity document against a live selfie, and record the date on the profile. If a sitter adds a written reference or a short video themselves, you see that too, clearly marked as something they provided, not something we called to confirm.
What we do not do
We do not collect or store criminal record certificates. European and Italian data protection law allows a private operator to process criminal conviction data only where a specific law authorises it. No such law covers a platform like ours. Instead, every sitter undertakes to show the certificate directly to the family, freshly issued, before the first engagement — which is also more useful to you than a file uploaded a year ago.
