🐶 Why Coworking Spaces Are Perfect for Freelancers (and Their Dogs)
If you’re a freelancer, you already know the highs and lows of working from home. Some days are great — pyjamas, coffee refills on demand, and no commute. But other days… the walls close in, motivation dips, and even your dog starts judging your Zoom calls.
That’s where coworking spaces come in.
At Area Coworking in Madrid, we’ve seen firsthand how the right workspace can completely change a freelancer’s routine — and yes, make life better for your furry friend too. Here’s why:
1. You actually want to get out of bed
Having a beautiful, comfortable space to go to makes a huge difference. Freelancers often say they get more done in half a day here than in a full one at home. There’s something about being around other people who are also getting things done — it’s contagious.
2. Your dog gets social too
Working from home can make dogs bored and needy (and you distracted). In a pet-friendly coworking like Area, your dog can come along, get some new sniffs in, and nap peacefully by your desk. Plus, they usually end up with more friends than you.
3. Community without the office politics
You get the buzz of having “colleagues,” without the drama. Freelancers swap tips, share clients, and sometimes collaborate on projects. It’s that mix of independence and connection that makes coworking life addictive.
4. Everything you need, already sorted
Good coffee, fast WiFi, quiet phone booths, showers, and even smoothie machines — you just show up and work. No setting up routers or arguing with your printer. (We’ve all been there.)
5. Separation between “home” and “work”
When your workspace and your sofa are the same place, the boundaries blur. Coworking gives your day a rhythm again — work when you’re here, relax when you’re home. Even your dog learns the difference.
So if you’re ready to give your freelancing (and your four-legged coworker) a little upgrade, come and try a free day at Area Coworking.
