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.

Mira, la volpe di AlpenSitter
01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

How we verify Pricing

The checks shown on each profile cover only what is listed, on the date indicated. AlpenSitter does not guarantee a person's suitability: always meet in person before deciding.
