About sitting in Mellieħa
What sitting in Mellieħa looks like
Mellieħa Bay, the Għadira nature reserve, and the Marfa Ridge make this one of the best dog-walking towns in Malta. Sitters take dogs to the dog-friendly stretches of Mellieħa Bay during the shoulder season, along the Marfa Ridge cliff paths for cooler longer walks, and through the Manikata countryside trails for off-lead exercise.
Sitters in Mellieħa 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 Mellieħa
How much can I earn as a sitter in Mellieħa?
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 Mellieħa?
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 Mellieħa?
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 Mellieħa 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.
