San Sebastián's size means fewer pet-sitting providers than a major capital, but platforms like Rover.es connect travellers with local dog walkers and sitters across the Donostia area. Given the city's large dog-owning population, local sitters tend to be experienced and comfortable with a wide range of breeds.

Rover.es — San Sebastián

Rover's Spanish platform lists dog walkers and pet sitters in the Donostia-San Sebastián area. Sitters are rated, reviewed, and many offer bilingual (Spanish/Basque or Spanish/English) communication. Services include dog walking, home visits, doggy day care, and overnight boarding.

🐶 Dog walking, pet sitting, doggy day care, overnight boarding💰 €10–15 per walk / €25–40 per night boarding (varies by sitter)🌍 Spanish, Basque, English (selected sitters)

💡 Book at least a week ahead in July and August — the summer festival season (Semana Grande in August) fills sitters quickly. Check that your chosen sitter is comfortable with the city's seasonal beach rules if you plan beach days.

Gudog — San Sebastián

A Spanish pet-sitting and dog-boarding platform operating in San Sebastián. Gudog specialises in home-based boarding — your dog stays with a local host family rather than in a kennel environment. All hosts are vetted and insured. Useful for multi-day trips or when you need your dog in a home setting.

🐶 Home-based dog boarding & day care💰 €20–35 per night (varies by host)🌍 Spanish, Basque, English (selected hosts)

💡 Gudog hosts in the residential areas outside the centre (Gros, Amara, Intxaurrondo) often have access to quieter parks and gardens — useful if your dog is more comfortable in calmer surroundings.
