House & pet sitting opportunity in the Swiss countryside

Introduction

We are Mark & Jeannine (Swiss/English/South African) and live in the countryside approx 30 minutes away from Geneva. We are a sporty couple who love travelling. As a result, we try to get away a few times a year and would be looking for trustworthy people interested in discovering Switzerland and of course, looking after our home and fur babies while we are away.

I had an amazing time caring for Kenzo and Dela in Bassins. They are both very affectionate animals and it was a pleasure to relax and spend time with them. Dela can be cheeky, as expected from a young Staffy, but is very well trained so there were no issues. Mark and Jeannine are great hosts and went to extra lengths to ensure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The area where they live has stunning (and very instagrammable) scenery. There are many great walks around, as well as easy access to other beautiful towns and landscapes.
