House sitting in Barcelona

Do cute animals make you feel complete? Want to visit Catalonia for free? Then, try house sitting in Barcelona! 

The city packs hundreds of festive destinations into house sitting jobs. The adorable animals of Barcelona are waiting! Make them your travel companions while their owners are away and stay in incredible places for free; that’s free lodging in Barcelona with adorable pets! House sitting in Barcelona is the best way for pet fanatics to experience this fascinating city, whether it's immersing yourself in the world of Gaudi, going for walkies in the Gothic Quarter or catching some sun at a city beach. 

Barcelona beaches

Every season is perfect for house sitting in Barcelona. The region enjoys year-round beach weather and is one of the pioneers of pet-friendly tourism. Playa de Llevant is perfect for adventurous pooches because it's secured by a fence. The beach even has doggy fountains and showers, so there's no better spot for those with house sitter jobs. Cala Vallcarca is the first Barcelona beach to allow dogs, and Sant Pol de Mar and Les Banyeretes now welcome pooches. 

Fantastical foodie tours

Barcelona offers some of the yummiest food in the world, and La Boqueria serves some of its best. It's also perfect for Barcelona house sitting travellers because it allows dogs. Mercat de Santa Caterina and Mercat de Sant Antoni serve up more traditional fare, so this is your opportunity to sample some tapas and paella. If you have an evening spare, try a walking tapas tour with live flamenco. Buen provecho! 

Wonderful walkies

Looking after a dog in Barcelona is great for walking tours, so get down to Passeig de Gracia to see all of Gaudi's famous monuments. The Arc de Triomf shouldn't be missed, and when your new best friend gets tired of his leash, head to Parc de les Aigües for some Frisbee throwing. No Barcelona house sitting trip is complete without a Rickshaw City Tour, so pack pup some water and give him an experience to remember while you appreciate the architecture.

Art tours

Taking care of a cat in Barcelona gives you the chance to experience the city, while kitty stays happily purring at home! The city's artistic heritage is virtually infinite. The Picasso Museum has one of the world's largest collections by the artist. Also, the Fundació Joan Miró is the finest Miró museum in the world. It was launched to give experimental artists a platform, so you'll also see collections by Magritte, Rothko and Greenaway. Barcelona house sitting leaves you with plenty of pocket money to spend on your travels, and entrance is free if you have a Barcelona Card. The city isn't the same without a Gaudi tour, so don't miss Park Guell, which is best enjoyed on a guided tour.
