Roses is a mid-sized Costa Brava town (20,000 residents) with a moderate pet-sitter scene: about fifteen to twenty-five Rover and Gudog sitters live in the village or in nearby Empuriabrava and Figueres, and a handful of TrustedHousesitters profiles cover the northern Costa Brava for longer stays. Average rates as of early 2026 are €18-25 per night for in-home boarding and €12-15 per walk, with sharp spikes during the June 29 Sant Pere Festa Major and the August high season. Most sitters speak Catalan and Spanish; English is common, French and German frequent because of the heavy French and German summer tourism on the northern Costa Brava.
Citywide and Empuriabrava/Figueres · Online platform
The largest pet-sitting platform in Spain, with an active group of Roses, Empuriabrava and Figueres sitters offering boarding, dog walks, daycare and home visits. Insurance, vet support and meet-and-greets included in every booking.
💡 Filter by `lives in Roses` rather than just `serves Roses`; a Figueres-based sitter can mean a 36 km round-trip per walk
Citywide and Empuriabrava/Figueres · Online platform
A Spanish/Catalan-first pet-sitting platform that pre-dates Rover in Spain, with thorough sitter profiles and free meet-and-greets in Roses, Empuriabrava, Figueres and Cadaqués.
💡 Several Gudog sitters in the Roses area also run TrustedHousesitters profiles; cross-check both platforms before committing if you need a longer stay
Citywide and northern Costa Brava · Online platform
House- and pet-sit exchange with a handful of verified Roses and northern Costa Brava profiles. Sitters stay in your accommodation in exchange for caring for your pet; the platform charges an annual membership rather than per-stay fees.
💡 Best for stays ≥ 5 nights in a self-catering rental; under that, freelance per-night sitters in Roses or Empuriabrava usually beat the math
