FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a Petme sitter earn in Trikala?
Boarding in Trikala typically runs €10-€22 per night, walks clear €8-€13/hour effectively, and daycare lands at €12-€22 per day. Petme charges 0% to pet owners, so up to 90% of every booking lands with you.
Which Greek cities have the most pet-sitting demand?
Athens and Thessaloniki dominate booking volume year-round. Patras and Heraklion are steady. From June to September, Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, and Corfu run boarding rates 30-50% above Athens because of the tourism cycle.
Do I need to register at AADE for pet sitting income in Greece?
For occasional, low-volume income, the E1 personal tax return covers it as services-rendered income. For regular income, you usually need έναρξη επιτηδεύματος at the local tax office and EFKA registration as self-employed. Thresholds change each year. Consult an accountant for your case.
How does the August exodus (Δεκαπενταύγουστος) affect demand?
From around August 10, Athens and Thessaloniki empty out. Owners scramble to find sitters because their usual sitter is also away. Sitters who stay in the city through August fill their calendar fast and charge 20-40% above regular rates. Open availability by late June to land in search results early.
How does pet sitting in Greece compare to efood or Wolt delivery?
efood and Wolt riders in Athens clear €4-6 per hour after fuel and bike wear. Pet sitting through Petme clears €12-20 per hour on walks and more on overnight boarding, without the traffic and the rain.
What are typical Athens, Thessaloniki, and island rates?
Athens runs €15-35 per night for boarding and €10-18 for walks. Thessaloniki runs €12-30 per night and €8-15 for walks. Islands in August reach €25-50 per night and €15-25 for walks.
Does Petme cover Easter and Christmas demand in Greece?
Yes. Orthodox Easter (Holy Week) and Christmas-New Year are the second and third biggest demand peaks after August. Owners in Athens and Thessaloniki book 3-4 weeks ahead; opening availability early matters.
What does Law 4830/2021 say about pet sitting?
Law 4830/2021 sets the rules for the welfare of companion animals in Greece: mandatory microchipping, vaccinations, and owner responsibility. Sitters should ask for the pet's health booklet and microchip number before the first booking. This is not legal advice; consult a lawyer for ambiguous cases.
Is there a Petme sitter community in Greece?
Yes: Athens and Thessaloniki have active sitter WhatsApp groups, with smaller ones forming on Crete and the larger islands. We connect you after verification.
What is one thing Greek sitters wish they knew earlier?
"Open August availability by late June. Owners who plan ahead book early, and waiting until mid-July loses half the season." (Nikos M., Athens)
