Tirano · Your accommodation in Tirano
Italian hotel owners in small towns often know someone locally who does informal dog-sitting. It is worth asking at check-in if you plan a day trip on the Bernina Express into Switzerland. Most Italian dog owners are sympathetic and connections happen through word of mouth.
💡 Note your dog's feeding times and any medications in Italian writing to hand over to the sitter.
