And whether it’s a high-energy hound you’ll love, an urban-dwelling feline friend or a whole family of horses, chickens and outdoor doggos, you’re sure to find somewhere to suit amongst our house sits in Spain. If it’s Madrid, Malaga or Mallorca you land, you could be kicking back under the Spanish sun or exploring non-stop with a new furry companion by your side, every (paw)step of the way.

What’s house sitting in Spain like for our members?

For our members Sim and Cherry, house sitting in Spain was even more than an unforgettable trip surrounded by new furry pals. In fact, joining our pet-loving community helped them to find their way in their new, sunny home to be…
“The 3-month cat sit in Javea gave us a ‘trial’ period in which we could look for work and a place to live in Spain more permanently.”

Hola tapas tours!

Exploring the Med through house sitting in Spain means eating in some of the country’s culinary capitals (which we’re sure Fido’s nose will naturally lead you straight to, anyway).

Whether it’s Madrid’s La Latina district, Barcelona’s famous Poble Sec or Bilbao old town, there are heaps of dog-friendly tapas bars all over the country that make house sitting in Spain a truly mouth-watering experience. And what’s better than tucking into a few tapas plates in the country home to it? Tucking into tapas with a furry friend by your side, naturally.

Art, architecture and walkies

International house sitting is a great way to get in touch with local culture - art and architecture included. Spain is where world-renowned artists like Dali, Gaudi and Picasso were born, so there are plenty of famous pieces to feast your eyes upon. The Museo del Prado is the proud owner of works by Velazquez, El Greco and Goya, too.

And for a more of a contemporary flavor, Madrid's Reina Sofia houses the wonderful work of Picasso and Dali. And if galleries aren’t really your thing or you’re caring for a new canine pal, simply taking your new furry friend for walkies will be a walk down history lane with heaps of historic architecture to explore.

Spain’s pet-friendly culture

And if you’re wondering how much of the country you’ll really see by cat or dog sitting in Spain, you can rest assured your exploration will only be richer with a furry pal by your side. Along with Spain being known for its pet-friendly culture with heaps of restaurants, cafes and parks welcoming our four-pawed pals, keeping your new buddy happy and safe while their humans are away is nothing short of seriously rewarding.

Plus, exploring Spain with a doggo by your side might mean hiking, pet-friendly events and pet-welcoming outdoor activities are more available to you - not to mention it’ll get you chatting to the locals (and living like one yourself!).

Sand, sea and seriously cute pets

Here we’re firm believers that the Med lifestyle is so much better with a wagging tail brushing by your side. And by house sitting abroad, you can explore Spain’s shores and famous coastlines while caring for pets you’ll never forget, in some of the country’s many dog-friendly beaches.

So whether it’s hiking along the famous Castillo Alaro walk or kicking back on Cala Mesquida Beach where pups can bound up and down freely, you’re sure to find something to suit your Spanish house sitting dreams here.

Hound-friendly hiking

You might already know that Spain has some of the most epic hiking trails in Europe, and with a (hound-shaped) hiking buddy by your side, your Spanish hiking adventure will be truly one to remember.

In fact, there are 16 national parks in Spain, with 11 in the Iberian Peninsula, four in the Canary Islands and one in the Balearic Islands.

And as with many of the world’s national parks, not all of Spain’s are dog-friendly, so it’s always worth doing your research before planning a route for you and Fido. But just to get you ahead of the game, dog-friendly national parks in Spain include Sierra de las Nieves in the south, Ordesa y Monte Perdido in the Pyrenees, and Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, which is part of the Sistema Central.

So, assuming the pooch you’re taking care of is up for hiking, get leashes, collars and doggy bags at the ready to explore your nearby hiking trails while you’re house sitting in Spain.

And if the pooch you’re taking care of isn’t up for a hike or you prefer the sound of local walkies, you can’t do much better than a nearby dog park. Most cities boast multiple dog parks that your new furry buddy is sure to have sniffed out already. Plus, it’s a great place for you to get chatting to local dog lovers, too.
