Santander has a healthy local market of dog walkers and pet sitters serving the city centre, the Sardinero and the Magdalena. Platforms such as Rover.es and Gudog cover most central neighbourhoods, and several local hotels can recommend a trusted sitter on request. Bookings are tighter during the August festival weeks (Semana Grande, around 25 July).
