Markus
, founder, visionary, and partner at Züripets®; certified animal care specialist (FBA), licensed dog trainer, groomer, and recognized breeder

My connection with animals began in childhood and has evolved over the years into a clear calling. Dogs have always been a part of my life—not just as loyal companions, but as beings with individual needs that require the utmost attention, structure, and understanding.
Shaped by my work with a wide variety of dogs—from sensitive companion dogs to highly trained working and service dogs—I have developed a deep understanding of behavior, communication, and responsibility.
Today, through Züripets®, I stand for the highest standard of care. My goal is clear: maximum safety, the highest quality, and an environment where every dog feels seen, understood, and safe.
“Without Jack, Züripets® wouldn’t exist. He’s our rock and my best friend forever.”
“As the founder of Züripets®, I am personally committed to the highest quality, trust, responsibility, and structured, loving care at a premium level.”
-
I founded Züripets® in 2022—with the clear goal of taking pet care to a whole new level.
The idea came from a personal experience: I couldn't find any care for my own dog, Jack—a medically trained assistance dog—that met my standards for quality, safety, and professionalism. So I created it myself.
Today, Züripets® represents a new generation of pet care—well-organized, safe, uncompromisingly high-quality, and available around the clock.
Our approach combines professional expertise, clear processes, and genuine care in an environment that is deliberately different: not traditional “boarding,” but a well-thought-out system where dogs feel safe, understood, and secure.
We serve discerning private clients, international guests, expats, businesses, hotels, and public figures—people who won't compromise when it comes to their pets.
Züripets® is more than just a place that provides care. It is a reliable partner and a second home of the highest quality.
Today, Züripets® stands for trust, quality, and a clear commitment, and has established itself as Switzerland's leading premium dog care provider.

With over four decades of experience working with dogs, I have a deep understanding of behavior, care, and training at the highest level. My training as an assistance dog handler at the German-Swiss Center for Assistance Dogs, as well as my active involvement with SwissHelpDogs, continue to shape my professional foundation to this day.
I am a certified animal caretaker and licensed dog trainer, and I hold recognized qualifications in the keeping, care, and breeding of pets—with an official focus on animal welfare in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Office for Food Safety and Veterinary Affairs. Ongoing professional development in behavioral development, puppy training, and basic medical care ensures a consistently high standard of quality.
My approach is clear: structured care, individualized support, and a deep understanding of each and every animal. The goal is not only to provide physical activity, but also to foster lasting stability, trust, and quality of life.
This profile is complemented by a degree in business administration and international leadership experience at the highest level. My career has taken me to the Burj Al Arab, the Emirates Palace, the Ritz-Carlton, and the Marriott, among other places.
I held a leadership position within the World Economic Forum (WEF) and, among other things, worked at the Davos Convention Center in an international setting with leading decision-makers from politics, business, and society—operating at the highest professional level, including direct engagement at the highest levels.
As Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at the Kongresshaus Zürich, I was responsible for the strategic realignment and renovation of the Kongresshaus and the Tonhalle Zürich, involving an investment of approximately 165 million Swiss francs.
In addition, I served on international expert panels organized by Switzerland Tourism, where I worked alongside industry leaders such as Swiss International Air Lines to help shape the strategic development of Switzerland’s business travel sector—an industry with an annual volume of approximately 2 billion Swiss francs and over 6.5 million overnight stays.
This experience continues to shape Züripets®' commitment to this day: service excellence, clear processes, and uncompromisingly high quality standards—inspired by the world's finest establishments.
For me, the animal is the focus—with the goal of providing care at a level that builds trust and has a lasting impact.

I was lucky enough to grow up with lots of animals in the countryside in Eglisau (ZH). My grandparents had a great German shepherd dog called Django and several cats. In my parents' house we lived together with our lovely cat Minka and lots of guinea pigs. I spent most of my free time at a horse farm - riding, grooming and caring for horses. In my teenage years, I loved going for walks with my Labrador dog Ayla, which I really enjoyed whatever the weather.
Early on, I developed an unerring sense for the needs of all the four-legged friends around me.
-
One of my three children needed therapeutic help years ago due to an impairment. This is how I came into contact with assistance and therapy dogs. Over the years I got to know this area of animal-assisted therapy. It inspires and fascinates me how dogs improve and enrich our everyday life. I am very grateful that my son was able to experience help through them.
My main profession was working with children for a long time. The high demands on patience, empathy, flexibility, understanding and humor that I brought to my job back then are also in demand from the customers of Züripets. It is important to me to be there at all times for the smaller and larger concerns of our two- and four-legged guests, to always have an open ear for them - to make Züripets a real feel-good place. Because a harmonious togetherness is above everything for me.

My own dog Gioja is a Labrador. With her I completed various dog courses. This experience moved me to deepen the subject and close the circle. Somehow it was only logical that I made the professional turn towards dog care out of my feeling for dogs and people. I decided to go through the Specialized Professionally Independent Training (FBA) Dog/Cat Care, which I passed with flying colors.
With a large portion of calm, strong nerves and patience, I am there for dogs and cats at Züripets today. And I am happy about the different, special characters of the animals that I am allowed to take care of every day.
Bronislaw, DVM
Veterinarian

As a veterinary surgeon, I am part of the medical trust concept. I bring with me many years of experience from Vienna, Davos, and Zurich.
Whether it's routine vaccinations, check-ups, parasite treatment, or health assessments, I treat our guests stress-free directly at Züripets – during their stay or by appointment. No transport, no stress, plenty of peace and quiet, and an extra dose of compassion.
I work sensitively, conscientiously, and always in the best interests of the animal – and that is precisely why I am valued as a permanent medical partner at Züripets.
Good veterinary medicine begins with trust – and the right environment. That's exactly what you'll find at Züripets.
-
My vision is clear: I want to provide medical care where the animal feels most comfortable – without stress, without the smell of a practice, without a waiting room. I rely on modern conventional medicine, coupled with a holistic approach to each animal's individual life situation.
-
My career is characterized by international positions in research and practice – from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna to orthopedic research in Davos to the Vetsuisse Faculty in Zurich. This in-depth training, coupled with my calm, attentive manner, makes me a particularly valuable contact for preventive medicine, geriatric care, and long-term health support.
At Züripets, I am the ideal addition to the team – providing veterinary care at the highest level, right here on site.

I grew up around animals and knew from an early age that they would one day play an important role in my professional life as well. This passion ultimately led me to study veterinary medicine.
I'm particularly interested in cat nutrition, and I really enjoy learning about everything that contributes to their health and well-being.
In my personal life, I'm also a huge nature and plant lover, and I enjoy spending time outdoors. Another big passion of mine is drawing—I'm especially fond of drawing portraits of dogs and cats.
I'm really excited to be part of the Züripets team, to be able to live out my love for animals here every day, and to get to know so many different four-legged friends.
-
My vision is to continually develop my professional skills and, one day, to practice as a veterinarian specializing in small animal medicine with full expertise. In doing so, I want not only to treat animals but also to actively advocate for their welfare and protection.
Having my own dog is definitely one of my hopes for the future—but only when I can truly give him the time and attention he deserves. Until then, the animals at Züripets will get all the more of my love and care.
My main goal is actually quite simple: that every animal is happy and feels safe, understood, and well cared for.
-
I graduated from high school with excellent grades, and today I am pursuing my studies in veterinary medicine with great passion and dedication.
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have cats of my own, and from an early age I helped raise and care for our dogs at home. As a result, I know how to handle dogs and cats of all ages—from puppies and kittens to senior pets. Over the years, I’ve also looked after and cared for many cats, and I’m a true “pet mom” with all my heart.
Horses are also part of my experience with animals. Thanks to my many years of work on a farm, I am also very familiar with a wide variety of farm animals, their needs, and how to care for them on a daily basis.
Today, I combine this practical experience with the expertise I gained during my veterinary studies and, above all, with a deep love for every single animal.

Sibylle
Certified dog physiotherapist / lecturer / nutritionist (i.A.)
Location: Züripets® Glattpark
-
My aim is to improve or restore the dog's mobility, coordination, strength and body awareness, to relieve pain and thus to help the dogs holistically to a better quality of life, freedom of movement and well-being.
Every therapy should be individually tailored to the animal - respectful, sustainable and professionally sound. I am convinced that really good work is created when you work with the animal, not just on the animal. I am delighted to be part of the Züripets® team - and to use my experience and passion every day for the benefit of the animals.

I am a qualified dog physiotherapist (Anisana) and teach as a lecturer and assistant lecturer at the College for Holistic Veterinary Medicine. I am currently training to become a nutritionist for dogs and cats. My focus is on orthopaedic rehabilitation, pain therapy, prevention and the treatment of dogs with musculoskeletal disorders. For optimal treatment, I use various physiotherapeutic methods such as manual and physical therapies, massage, movement therapy, lymph drainage and fascia therapy. Thanks to my previous work as a nurse, I have a sound medical background in human medicine in addition to veterinary medicine. I am constantly continuing my education - including in neurodynamics, pain behavior and breed-specific diseases - and incorporate this knowledge directly into my daily practice.
-
I am particularly interested in functional anatomy, movement and behavior - and how these three areas influence each other. It gives me great pleasure to be able to pass on my knowledge and experience to students as a lecturer. I love the professional exchange, interdisciplinary collaboration and learning together. In my free time, I enjoy being out in nature - always accompanied by my dog Dina, who started it all.

Hi, I'm Alexander - part of the Züripets team and responsible for exclusive pet transportation and loving care on board. I make sure that our pets arrive safely, stress-free and with a smile.
With my training in aviation and my love of animals, my goal is to provide a true first-class experience for every four-legged friend.
I speak several languages, always have an open ear - and often have a treat in my pocket.
I look forward to meeting you and your animal companions in person - in the air or on the ground!

Animals deserve the same care, safety and appreciation as their human companions - even when traveling.
My vision is to offer every dog and cat a transport experience that meets the highest standards: stress-free, gentle, loving and with the highest level of trust.With Züripet's JetSet™, we are creating a world in which animal transportation is no longer a means to an end, but part of holistic care at first-class level.
I stand for responsible animal mobility - with heart, expertise and the clear goal of making every flight a safe experience with a feel-good factor.Because trust flies with you.
-
As a trained professional pilot with over 7,300 flying hours in civil aviation, I have extensive experience on various aircraft types. I hold an EASA CPL(A) license with a valid Medical Class 1 and specialize in individual flights with special requirements - including sensitive animal transports.
In addition, I have completed further training in animal behavior, flight stress prevention for animals and safe handover protocols so that I can respond to each animal individually and professionally - whether on board, on the tarmac or during door-to-door accompaniment.
My expertise combines technical excellence, animal-friendly care and a keen sense of safety, discretion and service at the highest level. I know the expectations of our Züripets® VIP customers - and exceed them anew with every landing.

As temps at Züripets, we are part of a passionate and growing industry dedicated to the welfare and care of pets while their owners are away. We, the petsitters at Züripets, have a big responsibility: it is our job to make sure that the animals entrusted to us feel safe and secure, so that they are happy and content even when they are away from their usual home.
Our role goes far beyond just feeding and walking. We are trained to understand and meet the unique needs of each pet, whether it's through special care, playtime that stimulates their senses, or quiet moments of attention that bring them comfort. Our in-depth knowledge of pet care and deep understanding of the behaviors and needs of different pet species allows us to provide customized care that is tailored to each pet's individual needs.
The vision that we share as Züripets rescue workers is to create an environment where every pet receives the love, attention and care that they deserve. We strive to build a relationship with the animals based on trust and mutual respect and to create a space where they can feel safe and at home even in the absence of their families. We believe that our work not only helps to enrich the lives of animals, but also provides their owners with peace of mind and security in the knowledge that their beloved companions are in good hands.
-
As part of our team, we bring a unique blend of experience and academic knowledge, consisting of dedicated housewives and students from the fields of medicine and biology. This combination allows us to provide comprehensive and loving care for each pet. Our experience as housewives enables us to provide a warm and caring environment, while our studies give us sound insights into animal health and welfare.
Through regular training offered by Züripets, we keep up to date with the latest pet care practices and technologies. This training expands our expertise and skills so that we can provide professional and personalized care.
Together, we strive to create an environment in which every animal is not only cared for, but also understood, respected and loved. Our mission is to make every animal feel safe and at home, even in the absence of their owners.

Medical assistance dog actively on duty

I am a creamy white, purebred Swiss Labrador retriever - friendly, calm and always with a smile on my face. I love walks, sniffing games, fetching and of course long cuddles. I hardly ever bark, I get on well with all dogs and show no aggression - a real haven of peace. Riding in the car? Great. Preferably with the window open. And when I'm not out and about, I enjoy good food - including fruit and vegetables. I go everywhere with my owner - preferably in the airplane cabin right next to him. I travel regularly and naturally go with him to supermarkets, hospitals and doctors' surgeries, always behaving calmly, attentively and in an exemplary manner.
-
I am not only a trained assistance dog - I am also the original idea behind Züripets. Together, we looked at many dog daycare centers in and around Zurich - but none of them could stand up to my level of training, my structure or my idea of real animal welfare. That's how Züripets came about: a place that shows how much potential there is in thoughtful, loving and professional care.
I believe that dogs should not just be "looked after", but really understood - with empathy, calm and competence. At Züripets, we live this vision - every day.
-
I was born on 18.11.2018, am 59 cm tall, weigh 35 kg and come from a top-class line with FCI pedigree, multiple championships and best-of-breed titles. My IK is 0 %, my AVK 100 %. I am fully vaccinated, regularly wormed, free of skin diseases and my blood count is perfect.
My sound training as a medical assistance dog, my character and my genetics make me a very special dog - my estimated value is CHF 55,000.
I am available as a stud dog for healthy, purebred Labrador bitches - but only as such, because I will not be sold.
All my documents, health certificates and training certificates can of course be viewed - transparency is part of our philosophy.

Animals have been with me since I was a child - whether dogs, cats or small animals, they have always been part of my family. Social media is not just a profession for me, but also a passion, because I can tell stories and make emotions visible. At Züripets, I combine both: my love of animals and my talent for bringing these moments to life digitally.
-
My vision is to make Züripets as tangible online as our customers and their four-legged friends experience it in everyday life: warm, exclusive and professional. I want to create a community that shows how unique our concept is and at the same time conveys knowledge, closeness and joy. Social media should not only inform, but also touch, inspire and create trust.

I have in-depth experience in social media management, content creation and community building. From storytelling, photography and video production to data-based campaigns - I know the tools and trends needed to position brands strongly digitally. With creativity, flair and a keen sense of aesthetics, I ensure that Züripets remains visible on all relevant platforms and grows sustainably.

Since birth, four-legged companions belong to my side. I grew up with dogs, rabbits, cats and horses and can not imagine living without the fur noses. Because they are the ones who accept us without ifs and buts.
My first own dog was Jenny, an American Staffordshire bitch, which I got from the shelter. She became a proud 17 years old. The last ten years I was accompanied by Ayko, a male Weimaraner. He, too, came from the animal shelter and had not experienced anything nice in his first eight months. He was my biggest challenge and my soul dog for eleven years. Today I live with my 16-year-old Arabian gelding Shalimoh. He enriches my life immensely.
-
By profession I am a certified animal physiotherapist. I am often in contact with dog owners who were desperately looking for suitable day and vacation care for their beloved four-legged friend. So why not try something new and fill this need, I thought to myself. I expanded my profession in a new field of activity, dog care. It was and is very important to me to offer this with a professional and competent concept. A care service to which I would also entrust my darling with a clear conscience.
So I found Züripets, which fully meet my expectations and values. I am proud to be a part of this great team and look forward every day to the fur-nosed guests we take care of.
-
Through my dogs, which were not easy to lead, I learned a lot about leading and reading the dogs. In addition, I worked for many years in a dog shelter. For five years I have been a trained animal physiotherapist and until recently I had my own successful practice. My years of experience in dealing with different dog characters, with their behavior, with diseases and healing processes is extensive.

I am Swiss, but I grew up in Argentina. I grew up with the dogs Felipe and Kiara, two sweet Cocker Spaniels. I have always had a special affection for animals and now at Züripets I can live this passion every day.
-
I love helping animals, caring for them and looking after them. Animals give us unconditional love and loyalty. It is the least we can do to know that they are well looked after when we are away and to go the extra mile for them. Because whether it's a vacation, illness, family visits, vacations, short trips, spontaneous excursions - with an animal by your side, these things can be a real challenge. I am happy to take care of small animals and cats. Feeding, cleaning, playing, cuddling? No problem.
-
I successfully completed the one-year dog-walking training program at Züripets. It took my skills to a whole new level. In the spring of 2024, I rounded out my professional profile by completing the FBA animal care training program.
Before my professional life with dogs, I studied nutritional science at the University of Buenos Aires (ARG) and Bayreuth (D). I also took part in the Mathematical Olympiad for almost ten years.
I have a perfect command of German, English and Spanish.

Since my early childhood, I have always been surrounded by animals, be it my cats, rodents or my grandparents' dogs and other family members. It has always been clear to me that our animals are valued family members and close friends. The relationship we have with our pets and the unconditional love they show us humans never ceases to fascinate me. I could not imagine a life without animal companions.
At the moment my tomcat Jamal and my boa constrictor lady Alice are part of my animal family. My loving and funny cat means everything to me and I am grateful every day to have him by my side. Even when my beloved cat Zorro, with whom I grew up, sadly passed away two years ago, Jamal gave me an incredible amount of comfort.
-
As a Züripets employee, my focus is on the individual needs of our beloved furry friends. My aim is to ensure that all our animal guests feel at home with us and can develop their social behavior in a safe environment. Playing, discovering, sniffing: a dog day at Züripets is exciting and varied. Here your pets can simply be dogs. With various activities and plenty of cuddles, we make sure that your dogs go home with you happy and balanced in the evening.
-
As a trainee at Züripets, I will be completing my training as an FBA animal handler this spring, which will complement my specialist knowledge and further develop my skills.
Apart from almost 20 years of personal practical experience with dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles, I have gained additional know-how in dealing with different dog breeds, as I regularly walked dogs for animal welfare on a voluntary basis. I also attended a corresponding training course.
Before I was able to pursue my dream job at Züripets, I successfully completed an apprenticeship as an EFZ painter and worked as a customer advisor for several years.
I am available to our customers in German and English.

I was surrounded by animals from birth, growing up in a family that had long since given their hearts to four-legged friends. Dogs were constant companions in our household, while my grandparents lovingly cared for cows, goats and even pigeons. My childhood was marked by countless hours spent helping to care for these animals. Particularly formative was the arrival of our pug named Mops when I was seven years old. The hours flew by with him by my side - he wasn't just a pet, he was a true friend.
In his last years, I devoted myself intensively to his care when he needed special medical attention. Our bond deepened even further during this time. Two years ago, Mops was even allowed to accompany us on a long journey. Sadly, he passed away a year ago at the proud age of 17. His loss affected me deeply and left a hole in my heart.
Today, I am grateful for the opportunity to work at Züripets, where I spend my days caring for a variety of dogs. This work allows me to live and share my love for animals on a daily basis, an ongoing tribute to pugs and the unforgettable times we had together.
-
My deep-rooted passion for pet care is reflected in every aspect of our work at Züripets. Inspired by the principle that "you are forever responsible for what you have tamed", we strive to give every pet owner the peace of mind that their beloved four-legged friends are well cared for in our care. Whether during working hours or on vacation, at Züripets you can trust that your pets will be lovingly walked, fed and cared for.
I firmly believe that the responsible care of pets is a fundamental duty. Our mission is to fulfill this responsibility with the utmost care and dedication so that every pet that crosses our threshold is happy and content. At Züripets, your pets are in safe and caring hands - every day, every hour.

Before I started my career at Züripets, I had already gained extensive experience in dealing with a variety of dog breeds and their different temperaments. This experience forms the foundation of my daily work and allows me to respond to each animal individually. Since joining the Züripets team, I have noticed how much my dog care skills have developed.
By gaining a deep understanding of the needs of each individual dog and applying targeted care methods, I am constantly improving my skills. This continuous development in professional animal care enables me to not only provide dogs with the bare essentials, but to noticeably improve their quality of life. At Züripets, I strive every day to give each dog the care and attention it deserves.

I developed a deep connection to nature and the animals that live there at an early age. Originally a great cat lover, I discovered my passion for dogs when Balu, our faithful companion, came into my life when I was thirteen. This fascination for dogs is still with me today and enriches my everyday life.
After completing my training at a renowned hotel management school, I was drawn out into the world. My professional career took me through various European countries, where I was able to gain a wide range of experience.
In 2013, I finally moved to Zurich. I found a new home in this lively city and have enjoyed living here ever since. The combination of my enthusiasm for dogs and my professional experience in the service sector motivates me every day to get involved in the dog day care center and ensure the well-being of our four-legged friends.

With over 15 years of experience in Michelin-starred gastronomy and the luxury hotel industry, I decided to start a new career in the dog world at the end of 2022. My commitment and passion led me to successfully complete the Dogwalker certificate as well as the FBA pet sitter. I am currently deepening my knowledge and practice at Züripets as an FBA trainee. In addition, I am preparing for the dog instructor course at Certodog, a foundation for the welfare of dogs, in order to complete my training as a dog trainer/dog instructor in summer 2024. My extensive experience in the service sector enables me to provide excellent service for both two-legged and four-legged guests of Züripets.
-
The inspiration for my career change came from an acquaintance who has been dependent on the support of a medical assistance dog for years. This profound experience of observing how a trained assistance dog enriches my friend's life and offers him security in everyday life motivated me to continue my training as a dog trainer. My goal is to share this transformative power of canine assistance and help people build a stronger, more secure bond with their dogs.
