It depends on which profiles are available in the valley at that moment. In peak season it's worth moving a few days ahead, because the same people get contacted by several families at once.

Are the checks a guarantee?

Tips for Dog sitter e pet sitter a Aprica

Practical tips based on altitude, season and the character of the place (1181 m · Central Valtellina). We don't name places we haven't verified: those get added once someone who lives there tells us about them.

For dogs, mountain villages often have no fenced area. What really works are the cycle paths along the river and forest roads closed to traffic, where you can walk without meeting cars. Keep two seasonal things in mind: the woods are busy during hunting season, and in some areas there can be poisoned bait — keep your dog on the lead if it picks things up off the ground.

At altitude you'll meet livestock guardian dogs. They aren't aggressive by nature: they defend. Give them a wide berth, put your own dog on the lead, don't run and don't shout. It's the situation tourists get wrong most often.

At this altitude the shoulder seasons are short: from October the shadows lengthen early and north-facing gardens stay cold. In the afternoon it's worth looking for south-facing spots.
