Our story

A second home, not a service.

Can Capi began with a simple idea: dogs deserve more than a place to stay. They deserve a home.

«A dog’s wellbeing isn’t just about being fed and walked. It’s about feeling safe enough to be themselves. That’s what we protect, every day, in our home.«
— Daniela

Led by Daniela, a veterinarian with more than fifteen years of experience and a Master’s in Ethology, our family welcomes a small number of dogs into our home in Barcelona, where they share our routines, our walks, our couch, and our care.

There are no kennels here. No rows of cages, no fluorescent lights, no twenty dogs in a yard. They share space with a family.

Our purpose is to give dogs a second family when their own needs to travel, and to give you peace of mind knowing your best friend is safe, loved, and at home.

How it works

Four small steps, no paperwork.

Most stays are arranged in a week. The first meeting is the most important part.

01

Tell us about your dog

Send us a short note: name, age, energy, dates. We answer the same day, usually within an hour.

02

We schedule a first meeting

We meet at a nearby park for a coffee-length introduction. Capi says hello first. We watch how they interact.

03

Your dog joins our home

Walks, meals, naps on the couch, time with the family. The routine becomes theirs in a day or two.
04

We keep you updated

Photos in the morning, a note at night, a call if you want one. Quiet days are good days.
Services

Four ways we care for your dog.

Whether it’s two weeks abroad or a working Tuesday, every service is built around the same idea: a real home, not a holding space.
Overnight

Boarding

From €42 / night
Your dog joins the home for the duration of your trip. Two walks, two meals, daily updates, and a couch with their name on it.
Days

Daycare

From €28 / day
Drop-off in the morning, pick-up in the evening. One long walk, midday rest, and a friend or two.
Outdoors

Walks

From €18 / walk
Calm-paced neighborhood walks with one dog at a time, or small compatible pairs. Forty minutes by default, longer routes on request.
1:1 with Daniela

Behavioral consultations

From €85 / session
An in-home assessment for reactivity, separation anxiety, multi-dog households, or first-puppy questions. Evidence-based, calm, and warm.
The care behind it

Veterinary instinct. A real home. The judgment to know when to do less.

You shouldn’t have to choose between a kennel and a stranger’s spare room. The care here is professional in the ways that matter, and human in the ways you’d want for your own dog.

Veterinary-led care

Daniela has practiced clinical veterinary medicine for over a decade. Health flags get caught early, by someone who knows what to look for.

Ethology-based understanding

Behavior shapes everything we do, how we introduce dogs, how we walk them, when we step in, and when we let them be.

Small group, never crowded

We never host more than five dogs at a time. Small enough that every name gets remembered, every routine gets noticed.

A real family home

Not a kennel, not a back-garden of cages. A flat in city centre where dogs walk on warm floors and sleep where we sleep.

«Life savers/ the ultimate pet sitting experience. If I could give 2 times as many stars, I would. Can Capi is the best pet sitting service provider in town. I travel a lot, and having Dani & Diego (Can Capi) has been life saving and a game changer. Now when I leave town, I leave more than at peace, my mentality has switched and I feel as though my dog is going to the equivalent of a luxury retreat or theme park for doggies because of how happy he will be while I’m gone. 🙈»

«Since moving to Barcelona a year ago, Can Capi has been our go-to pet boarder. We couldn’t imagine leaving our beloved doodle, Mitch, with anyone more capable and loving. He enjoys going to Can Capi so much that he literally tries to lead us to them on our daily walks to say «hi». Mitch always returns to us happy, relaxed, and content no matter whether it was just for the weekend or a longer stay. We can’t recommend Can Capi enough!»

«Nos encanta dejar a Wanga en Can Capi, y a ella más! Daniela, Diego, el pequeño Pau y Capi la tratan como si fuera una más de la familia. Siempre que está con ellos estamos muy tranquilos, recibimos fotos y vídeos y solo hay que ver la reacción de Wanguita cuando les ve para saber que está feliz allí. Además, a Wanga a veces le cuesta socializar con otros perros y ellos saben perfectamente cómo introducirles y hacer que se entiendan entre peludos. Gracias familia por cuidar tan bien de Wanguita!»

Final availability depends on compatibility, dates, and the first meeting. We’d rather say no than overcrowd, quiet group dynamics are what makes Can Capi different.

Requirements

What we ask of every dog who stays.

None of these are gatekeeping. They keep the group calm and every dog safe, most homes pass on the first ask.

Up-to-date vaccinations

Polyvalent, rabies, and intranasal kennel cough. We’ll glance at your vaccination booklet.

A first meeting before the first stay

Every dog visits the flat once before they board. No exceptions — it’s the most important step.

Emergency contact + vet info

A phone number for someone we can reach, and your usual vet. We hope to never need either.

Social with other dogs

Calm around the small group already at home. Slow introductions are the rule.

Comfortable in a home environment

No outdoor-only dogs. The flat has stairs, doors, a balcony, and a couch they’re welcome to use.

Friendly with the family

Including Capi. He’s small, calm, and the unofficial host of every stay.
FAQ

Questions families ask before the first stay.

We’re in the city centre, with parks, the beach and Port Vell within a ten-minute walk. The address is shared after the first message.

Up to five at a time, including Capi. We turn down requests when the group is full. We’d rather say no than overcrowd.

Yes, from four months old, after their second vaccination round. Younger pups can be assessed on a case-by-case basis if you’re local.

No. There are no cages, kennels, or crates at Can Capi. Dogs sleep wherever they like, most choose the couch or the bedroom rug.

A photo in the morning and a short note in the evening, by default.

Daniela is a practicing veterinarian. Medications, post-surgery recovery, anxious dogs, and seniors are all welcome, we’ll talk through the routine before the stay and confirm it together.

Always. Every dog comes for an introduction at the flat before their first stay. It’s free, it takes about an hour, and it’s the moment we decide together if Can Capi is right for them.
