Tips for Dog sitter e pet sitter a Sils im Engadin

Practical tips based on altitude, season and the character of the place (1800 m · Upper Engadine). We don't name places we haven't verified: those get added once someone who lives there tells us about them.

For dogs in Switzerland the rules are stricter and vary from municipality to municipality: in many, the leash requirement is extensive, and during nesting periods or in wildlife protection zones it can be absolute. The municipal signs are reliable: read them, because the fines are real.

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.

Above 1,500 metres the sun is fierce and deceptive: you can burn in half an hour even wearing a t-shirt, and the temperature drops the moment a cloud passes. High-protection sunscreen even in March, and always an extra layer in the bag. Summer evenings drop below ten degrees.
