Tarragona has a steady freelance pet-sitter scene with around 20 active sitters and walkers on Rover, Pawshake and Gudog (the Catalan-Spanish equivalent), plus a handful of TrustedHousesitters profiles for longer stays. Average rates as of early 2026 are €14–18 per night for in-home boarding and €10–13 per walk. Most sitters speak Catalan and Spanish; English is common, French and Italian rarer.
