About sitting in Gżira
What sitting in Gżira looks like
Gżira's flat promenade and Manoel Island's open paths make it one of the most practical neighbourhoods on the island for daily dog walks. Sitters take dogs across the bridge to Manoel Island for off-lead exercise on the perimeter path, along the harbour seafront for cooler afternoon walks, or through the quiet residential streets behind Rue d'Argens for short potty breaks.
Sitters in Gżira typically build their book through a combination of recurring weekday walks, weekend boarding, and the long-travel weeks (summer, Christmas, Easter). The platform's rating system rewards consistency, so reply quickly to enquiries and always show up on time for the first few bookings.

Frequently asked
Sitter FAQs for Gżira
How much can I earn as a sitter in Gżira?
Maltese sitters set their own rates. Petme keeps a small platform fee out of what you earn, so sitters keep up to 90% of every booking. Earnings depend on service mix (boarding, walks, drop-ins) and how many recurring bookings you build.
What does Petme cover for sitters?
The Petme Protection Plan can contribute up to €20,000 toward eligible vet costs, the platform handles payment processing, ID verification builds trust with owners, and the rating system rewards consistent sitters with more visibility.
Do I need a kennel or licence to sit in Gżira?
Petme is a home-based model: pets stay in your home (boarding) or you visit theirs (drop-in / house sitting). No kennel required. For regular sitting income in Malta you do register as self-employed with the Maltese tax authority.
Is sitting demand year-round in Gżira?
Yes. Maltese demand is steadier than most European markets, with summer travel peaks, Christmas, Easter, and the August festa season as the busiest windows. Recurring weekday walks and drop-ins keep books full off-peak.
How do I get my first Gżira booking?
Apply, pass ID verification, build out your profile with clear photos and a thoughtful bio, and offer to do free meet-and-greets. How soon it comes depends on your rates and how many owners near you are looking, so there is no fixed wait. Opening your calendar over summer, Christmas, Easter and the August festa season, when owners travel, puts you in front of more requests.
