About sitting in Swieqi

What sitting in Swieqi looks like

Swieqi's quiet streets and the bordering Pembroke garigue make it one of the most relaxed dog-walking neighbourhoods on the island. Sitters frequently walk dogs through the open spaces near the salt pans, along the gentler residential streets in Lower Swieqi, or up towards the Madliena heights for longer late-afternoon walks with sea views.

Sitters in Swieqi 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 Swieqi

How much can I earn as a sitter in Swieqi?
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?
Every booking is covered by the Petme Protection Plan (up to €20,000 in vet expenses), 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 Swieqi?
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 Swieqi?
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 Swieqi booking?
Apply, pass ID verification, build out your profile with clear photos and a thoughtful bio, and offer to do free meet-and-greets. A well-priced profile in Swieqi typically gets the first booking within 1-2 weeks.
