About sitting in Ta' Xbiex
What sitting in Ta' Xbiex looks like
Ta' Xbiex's waterfront promenade, marina, and low-traffic streets make it one of the most relaxed dog-walking neighbourhoods in the inner-harbour area. Sitters take dogs along the marina seafront for calm morning walks, through the quiet embassy streets behind Testaferrata Street, or across the bridge to Manoel Island for longer afternoon walks.
Sitters in Ta' Xbiex 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 Ta' Xbiex
How much can I earn as a sitter in Ta' Xbiex?
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 Ta' Xbiex?
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 Ta' Xbiex?
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 Ta' Xbiex 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.
