Dog sitter jobs in Spain. Your questions answered.
- How do I become a dog sitter in Spain with Petme?
- Create your sitter profile, list the dog services you offer such as boarding and daycare, set your nightly rates, and turn on your availability. Your profile then goes live for dog owners in your area. There is no waiting list.
- How much can I earn boarding dogs in Spain?
- Boarding in Spain is typically paid 20-50 EUR per night depending on the city and the dog. Doggy daycare runs about 15-30 EUR per day. On Petme you set your own rates and keep up to 90% per booking through the sitter cashback program, so a full weekend of boarding adds up quickly.
- What is the difference between dog boarding and doggy daycare?
- Boarding is overnight care: the dog sleeps at your home for one or more nights while the owner is away. Doggy daycare is daytime only, so the dog stays with you during working hours and goes home in the evening. Many sitters offer both and set a separate rate for each.
- Can I board dogs in an apartment in Spain?
- Yes. Plenty of Petme dog sitters host in apartments. What matters most to owners is a safe, calm space, regular walks, and your attention, not the size of the home. Be honest in your profile about your setup, whether you have a garden or terrace, and which dog sizes you accept.
- Do I need a licence to board dogs in Spain?
- Petme does not require a formal licence to join. Keep in mind that habitual paid dog boarding in Spain can require a local núcleo zoológico registration, which depends on your region and municipality. Check the rules with your local town hall or autonomous community before you scale up.
- Does dog sitting work as a side income in Spain?
- Yes. Many Petme dog sitters fit boarding, daycare, and walks around another job. Spain has a large and growing dog-owning population, and demand climbs around holidays and long weekends in cities like Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, and Seville, so weekend bookings alone can be a steady extra income.
