From our dog knowledge
Everyday
How long can a dog be left alone?
Recommendations by age, training in small steps – and what helps against boredom.
Behaviour
Puppy licence: does it apply with people too?
The «puppy licence» is something people talk about between dogs – what the idea means for contact with people, and what it does not mean in law.
Everyday
Dogs in the car: securing your dog and your duties in Switzerland
What is required when you drive with a dog in Switzerland – securing your dog, police checks, and what you also need to know in hot weather.

Why DOGSY – and not the expensive platforms?
Established sitter platforms keep 15–19% commission on every booking. DOGSY takes nothing – and does far more than just matchmaking.
Free – and it stays that way
All DOGSY features are free and will stay free: no commissions, no paywalls, no subscription.
A community that has your back.
Working late, injured, travelling or facing an emergency – on DOGSY you'll find people who step in. And those who want to help give dogs even more attention.
Sign up for free →Transparency: how is DOGSY funded?
Using DOGSY is and will remain completely free for all Dogsyaner – no fees and no commission on agreements between users. DOGSY is funded solely through unobtrusive advertising from selected partners (e.g. pet supplies, vets). What matters to us: we never read personal information for this and we don't sell user data. Ads are shown based on general criteria (e.g. country/language or «has a dog») – never based on your behaviour or your chats. Your chats are private: no other Dogsyaner can see them, and they are never used for advertising.
Donations to projects, dogs and organisations are forwarded in full, less payment provider fees; DOGSY keeps no share. If you like, you can also support DOGSY itself with a voluntary donation – it exclusively funds the operation and development of the platform.
Frequently asked questions
What is a «Dogsyaner»?
A committed member of the community – dog walker, dog sitter or someone who steps in during emergencies.
What does DOGSY cost?
Nothing. All DOGSY features are free – and will stay free: no commissions, no paywalls. Each Dogsyaner decides for themselves whether a service is offered free of charge or for a fee.
Does DOGSY take a commission on paid services?
No. On paid services, DOGSY keeps no share and no commission. Payment and settlement are exclusively a matter between the users involved – DOGSY is not part of it and only provides the connection. DOGSY is funded through advertising alone.
Is there a minimum age?
You can use DOGSY from the minimum age that applies in your country. If you have not yet reached the age of majority, you need the consent of your parents or legal guardians – you confirm this when you register. Registered dogs are at least 12 weeks old.
Who is liable for damages?
DOGSY is purely an intermediary platform and accepts no liability. Private liability or pet-owner liability insurance is recommended.
How does the rating system work?
After every service, you can rate each other with «paws» – creating transparency and trust.
